I just drove an hour (something no 19 year old kid wants to really waste gas on) or so to go buy SAEs from a very amazing fish store in Randallstown Maryland and they actually had them! two tanks of about 40 or so! but!! they were not on sale due to medication.

how sad.. but it is for the best.. better them treat/quarantine fish then me. But the trip was not a waste. I got $65.00 of plants haha.

however one that what was interesting is that they quarantine their fish. for new fish they appear to run a separate filter as well as UV the tank. one other thing that I found good about this store is their multi tank filters all right though huge tube which I can only guess to be large UV sterilizers. Also, while there I saw no sick or unhappy fish! All where ready and wanting to eat, no bottom sitters, no dieing inactive fish. It was quite amazing.

That WOULD be amazing. I wish certain pet shops around here had policies and set ups like that.

I am not 100% sure but I was told they where being treated because they jsut got that shippment in. and I can nly imagine what huge power cords leading into tubes are. I figure it has to be UV.

I mean i suppose it is neccacary there. they have all the tanks connected into a few huge canister filters. They seemed to know what they where doing.. like i said.. all the fish seemed happy.

Glad you were able to make it up there. Yeah sometimes I go they have a few fish that I want in quarantine. But Im much closer then you so I just go back a few days later. There plant selection is decent as well. And the shrimp are getting much better. You may have missed it as its kinda tucked away
