This thread would be dedicated to let every one know what's going on with LFS (Local Fish Store). Some members of this forum started to post some updates from some of the LFS and I thought that I would be a good idea to make one specific thread that every one can look constantly.
I work near by Win Tropical and Pacific World and I would keep you guys update on their stocks. Feel free to PM is you have any particular question because I won't post every single thing that they have, but I would happy to check for you.
Please feel free to review and recommended any other store.
PD. If you find any grammar mistake or want to add more please PM me!!!
It's a pity, I believe they're legal in our friendly neighbor country up north. I'd love to own one if it were legal and I had the dough. I guess I'm ignorant but I never thought a LFS in chinatown would have any, you know, since they're illegal... I think I know which one it might be
Has anyone checked out Win recently? Or maybe 123, don't remember, but they have a tank full of what's labeled as flying foxes but I'm not so sure, could be SAE but I could be wrong.
So I see that you can buy some decent plants at Petco from pots (and Win, Pacific), are there any other stores that sell these types of plants? Just got into the hobby so a little new to the freshwater game (previously just kept reefs).
Looking mainly in Midtwown/Downtown Manhnattan. I was at Petco in Kips Bay the other day (near my apartment) and the selection made me sad.
Stopped by Zoo-Rama Pets and Aquarium in Elmont earlier today. Nice, small store. They have plenty of healthy angels, rainbowfish, killies, and other assorted fish. The store also has a nice breeding population of pure black guppies. They have a nice selection of healthy, low light plants such as potted crypts, swords, java ferns, enormous anubias, mosses, and others. They also have some nice looking bettas, with some elephant ears, dragonscales, and plakats.
I happen to be in westbury today to do some shopping, and on old country rd I see village aquariums. So while my fily was shopping I drive over there to take a look. Their fish stock was mostly salt water, and few fresh. The problem was that there was not a great selection of fresh and most tanks have dead fish in them. Now for the good part. I noticed that most if their tAnks were deep blue tanks, so I went. Further into the shop an they had the 12", 10" and I guess 6" cubes. I saw the 12" cube in fishtow for $50, but they wanted $36. I picked one up right away. They also have many of the solar t5 and led lights
Sad news for us Win will be closing at the end of June! The owners are retiring, which is great for them but makes me sad. I just found out today that my mom is friends (both went to Stuyvesant) with their daughter's husband. I will miss Win a lot.
Well now anyone from here could talk to him and ask if they could purchase the store and continue it... *before he liquidates his assets by selling all of the tanks/filters/food ect.* Let's keep one of the good LFS's up!
So how feasible is taking over his store,anyone ask?
