Three cheers for LFS

[David M]

From e-mail to Morgman:
I just keep getting more & more support on this breeding gig. I am working in Point Loma this week so Pet Kingdom is right on the way home. I stopped by today & Ray (the owner) immediately came after me for more more clowns. When I said I was out for now he was bummed. I noticed a handsome pair of ocellaris still in a spec container being acclimated, they had just come in as trades from a customer's tank. Danny (employee & friend) said " I didn't think you needed more ocellaris". I explained that I needed as many pairs as I could get to keep up the supply. They GAVE them to me Told me I could just give them some juvies whenever I had them to make up for it. Now THAT is lfs support for captive breeding

now that's cool. my lfs doesn't seem to care at all about captive bred fish

 

[stykthyn]

that's awsome man, my lfs are really starting pi$$ me off, the are starting to give me less and less for my fish. they also dont seem to care much about t/r fish

Many don't. Perhaps it will be easy for them to figure out why people aren't buying from them as opposed to online stores which have tank raised fish a plenty. The good news is that we drive the market. If we insist, they will either have to listen or go out of business ultimately. It is up to the buyer to harass them so they will listen.
