    My LFS (the brick and mortar building, not the people owning/running it) murdered a family of five and cut their bodies into small piece and burried them in the desert. It was all over the news, the courts didn't know how they'd bring a building int a court room so they dismissed all charges.

    A week later the locksmith shop next door OD'd on ketamine and the rug store set fire to a car in the parking lot.

    I don't know what's getting into these business these days.

    FWIW, the people who run my LFS are all stand up dudes (and one lady) it's just they occupy this possessed building

    I mine as well contribute my experiences on this subject. I have several "lfs" including "That Pet Place" which is awesome. However, I have one lfs that just isn't that good. I walked in the other day wanting to buy a filter bag and over heard the owners talking about how it's a recession and how they need to sell the fish no matter what. I don't really blame them, but compared to my other lfs, they got nothing. Most of the fish don't have enough flow and are very lethargic. I've heard them talking about how they need to sell fish even though they are sick or not fit for sale. They just don't have a great selection of livestock or dry goods. They are very expensive and just don't seem to know how to keep a successful store. They had some nice CB angels but I didn't want to buy from them b/c I don't think their livestock is that good. I'd rather drive 40 miles and get healthy livestock then buy something that will die or not be healthy in my tank.

    made me wait 2 weeks to get my fish. It had two small white specks on it and they made me wait to pick it up 2 weeks later to make sure it was healthy.. what jerks..


    just kidding.. I cant think of something nicer.. I love my LFS.. They gave me some free nori last time I was there.. Aquarium Imports in Birmingham AL is the best

    I ordered some things that took 2 months to get instead of the two weeks I was told and then another employee sold them before i picked them up.
