Hey Im not raggin on them or anything, but seriously did Tressel even watch footage of the gators playing? Cmon my Gamecocks owned the gators the entire game and only lost because the best kicker in the sec had his one off day. But anyway back to fish, ill definatly try the yellow pages.

Wow very expensive. Did you bring it to their attention? I would.

Fen,
I forgot to mention this yesterday when we talked about shrimp...make sure you drip acclimate for a good 2 hours. Shrimps I've read need the most TLC when acclimating, but are hardy after that.

Yeah I am already careful about the acclimating thing. SW fish are a lot more expensive than my guppies and mollies I used to buy, so I am extra precauitios. Also I will bring it to their attention today when I go back if they don't have any smaller ones for sale.

 

[sigmachris]

I wouldn't pay them more than $40...there are other LFS to give your business to, it just may be a bit more driving.

Not all fish stores are bad. But I think its good to remind them that there are educated consumers out there and they are way overpriced. If they want to keep customers coming back they have to be a little more realistic. I'm all for helping the local small businesses by paying a little more from time to time but not in cases such as this.

 

[fenrir]

Well I just got back, and they had a lot more stock which was cool. They then had smaller fire shrimp but they still wanted $50 for one so I opted for the cleaner shrimp. I also picked up a Emerald crab and a twin sopt goby which are all aclamating right now. I will post pictures later tonight.

Go COCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bs21]

LFS i go to has fire shrimp for a really high price also can't remember exactly but it was up there. Cleaner shrimp for like $35 and feather dusters for $80 which i think is crazy.
