The list is clearly made by someone from the city that thinks anything south of 95th is cornfields. I don't see any of the south suburbs shops on it. How about Aquatica, Capture the Sea, Go Fish Aquariums, Exotic Aquatics in IN, the new place in Mokena (can't remember the name).

Then I guess we can count on you to do the next poll and know that you won't miss a store. Thanks for volunteering.

I can't imagine doing business with anyone other than Mike and Elizabeth at Dark Lord Coral. Fair prices and the nicest stuff on the market from the nicest people in the business.

And they are least smart enough business people to take advantage of free advertising by adding themselves to the LFS locator. ;-)

Like thats their big marketing strategy. To be on the LFS locator. I couldn't even tell you where this LFS locator is. You missed a few stores, no big deal it happens. No need to be snide.

And Im glad you took the time to redo the poll. That thing was so out of date it was ridiculous. All were saying is there were a few stores left out. No biggie.

Likely they have no marketing strategy. Most small business don't. Most small businesses fail.

I am not being snide, I am being snippy.

I think I'll name my next dog, Snippy.

Well I can tell you for sure that at least one of them has been around for 13 years. So they must be doing something right.

Snide, snippy whatever you want use. No need to do it.



BTW where is this oh so big important LFS locator?

 

[dja1980]

LFS locator = www.zoyzoy.com?

 

[sellout007]

Whats funny is that GoFish is already on there. I remeber the first version of that when it came out. I added them the first time I saw it.

How do I know? Because I am one of the only ones that still calls it Chicago Aquatics. Sorry but its been on there for a long long time.

I don't know if someone just added Aquatica, Aquatic Enviornments. But they are on there as well. As is Reefs Edge and Upscale Aquatics. Those could have all been added after this conversation though. But I know GoFish has been on there the entire time.

Cool. When you spend the time to go through all of the searches to find Chicago fish stores and then list all of the LFSs on the locator into a poll, we know you won't miss any. Thanks again for all of your effort.

:love2:

Why all the hatin' on poor jglackin? I think anyone on this board would be hard pressed to find EVERY single store in our area. We should be happy it's much more updated now...

Jim, thanks a lot for taking the time to put this list/poll together. Very useful information. Every so often I feel like getting in the car and driving to a fish store. This will come in very handy.

Thanks Tony, but I think that they are just firing back at me for being "snippy". Sellout007 and I have exchanged PMs and there is nothing but peace and love.

Thanks, Engine7. It was a bit more of a project than I expected.

Coral Reef is a CMAS supporter & should be on that list.

 

[jglackin]

They are. They are listed under "Other".

 

[kimoy]

EXOTIC AQUATICS IN ALGONQUIN.

That's a very nice show of support, but you didn't vote for them. They currently have no votes.

Did you vote for Exotic Aquatics? They are still showing zero votes.

 

[Pufferpunk]

But why is Coral Reef just an "other". They are as big a supporter as the ones listed.
