My Seattle Lfs

[faraday]

So I still haven't gotten a tank yet. That will be in about 2 months. Still doing research. Found 2 good LFS in my area, I hope and think.... Hopefully there are some Seattle people on the board, who could point me to some other LFS.
Fish Gallery & Pets Renton Village http://www.fishgallery.com/store.htm
they actually have several places, they actually have a specific store in Issaquah for fish. http://www.bluesierraexotics.com/ .... I am going tomorrow to check them out. And see what equipment they have.
and
Below Sea Level

Each place, will hold the fish or things I want. Their tanks looked clean, and some of the fish were kept separate. I didn't see, for example, TANGS kept together or Wrasse's. If they had more than one they were in separate tanks. And all the wildlife in the tanks looked healthy and vivid, very colorful. And the staff seemed very knowlegable. I didn't ask questions, but listened to the guy helping 2 people. He talked about acclimating, and actually went through the same process that is listed on here, and that she couldn't buy these 2 fish cause they would fight.
This research is getting long and tedious, but well worth it. Any other Seattle Aquarists here?

There's a place in Bellevue called The Fish Store that has a great reputation. Might want to see what they can offer. I don't deal with them as I recently moved to San Antonio...bit of a drive

Thanks man. The one in Bellevue is closed so I went to the Seattle store. Found on by my house and one in Issaquah. there are 2 other ones in bellvue I am going to check out. so far each of them has been cool, staff are knowledgable and have tanks of their own.
