Holy Crap, This thread went nuts. This morning 17 reply now 41.
As i work for a pet store i see what goes on behind the scene.
Depending on where the shipment comes from, depends on the amount of pests (ie Aptasia) from Vanuatu and hawaii we get corals we a few aptasia on them but its a case of nuking them before it spreads.
And we have are share of deads and stress out fishes, but we take care of them, some how. Shipping can be a real bugger. I remember one time we got 3 boxs of fish and only one was alive. The other two seems to be boiling in side as if it had been left out on the tar make or something but what can you do. I mean the was an emperor Angel inside, that pist me off it was dead . thats one of my favorite fish.
Also as Justin said about the Morish Idol thing. As with our store we dont order them but sometimes they just come as a filler anyway. even if you write on the list "No Morish Idols"
and hey if you can get on to eat you got gold man.
Okay thats enough yapping about the pet stores in the area. I work for one and even I don't have a bad comment about any other LFS. Like Brad or Sam said, they all carry different products for us. I buy from them all aswell if i see something i like.but i like my discount at Animal House
