Oh I am with you on this one.
When ever I’m looking for a type of fish for my tank ( or coral ) they always tell me they had one last week but all gown now, I always feel like I miss out on what I want.
I’ve even had two stores in Edmonton ask for my # and told me they would call next time a shipment comes in, but to be honest I have never received a phone call, so if I am close by I always just drop in and see what they have --oh who am I kidding, I drive out of my way, I love taking a trip to the pet stores haha
[I shop at AI, blue world, and big Al’s (more so for products at big Al’s)]
