15? lil much... but still, nice fish. my lfs sells them for 8.99$, and nice snail, lol

 

[patrick8929]

yea i know but 15 is really low for my lfs (they are theonly good one around here so they can do that

) but thanks i love him so far! :jumping:

 

[big pat]

$15? Thats nothing, the pet store I go to sells firefish for $22. By the way what does lfs stand for?

 

[f-22(c)raptor]

local fish store. do a search for Bulletin Board Acronyms , its has alot of commonly used abbrev. (sorry dont know how to do links.)

 

[clowngyrl]

Nice firefish, I love them! Lost my first pair to a predator fish that my lfs said was reef safe and just got my second pair. A lot of personality, enjoy!!!! :joy: His antenna on top should get longer too.

Actually I paid $30 for my firefish, but my LFS qt's so things tend to cost more. Nice looking firefish btw.

wow, I think my most expensive fish is like....$24 (mandarin) I've actually got good deals now that i think about it (clown - $13) (firefish -$12) (scooter -$12) (watchman - $16) .... i guess i dont like paying more than $20

Sweet, I just bought 2 last week! I love them. I paid $24 for mine and I was suprised they were that cheap. My lfs is incredibly expensive but the fish always eat right away, are really pretty, and so far are in good healthy so I figure it's worth it.

Which LFS you referring to?

 

[garnet13aj]

The Fish Store on 63rd and Roosevelt. Do you have a better suggestion? I go there mostly because I don't have a car and I can bike there in about 10 minutes. I'd order offline, but I can't garuntee I'll be home because of school.
I could probably talk one of my cousins in to driving me somewhere else if you think there is a better one.

I was assuming you were talking about them. I was there a few weeks ago to look at the SW fish. For the most part they never got great reviews but if you haven't had a problem, good. I think their prices are more on the steep end but what LFS aren't. There arent too many LFS in the city, most are outside the city. Here are some Ive been to in the area:
Blue Sierra Exotic Fish & Supply
5614 E. Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE
Issaquah, WA
Phone (425) 392-5360
Blue Sierra Exotic Fish & Supply
Loehmanns Plz
Bellevue, WA, 98004
(425) 641-9240
SaltWater City
14150 NE 20th Ste F3
Bellevue, WA 98007-3700
(425) 644-7050
Denny's Pet World
12534 120th Ave NE
Kirkland, WA 98034-7501
(425) 821-3800
I'd go to either of the first 3 first and save Denny's for last. There used to be a great SW store owned by this Asian guy named Chris, forgot the store name, but he closed his doors last year. He was by 41st and Brooklyn in the U-Dist.

Thanks a lot. I definitely want to at least check them out. I've looked at some online reviews that said The Fish Store people weren't that great, but they've always been nice to me and for the most part given great advice (less so w/inverts than fish) but overall I'm pleased w/them w/everything except price.
