I agree. Not cool at all. Hey, maybe Greg and I can go in with you...rough 'em up. Heh. Ok...just kidding.

Sort of.

I find that at a lot of the LFS too, and I'm a girl too I guess it's cause it's mostly guys who enjoy this hobby so they think that we are just there to look at the pretty fishies!

Yes and I could be pretty effective at stopping you from spending money on the pretty fishies since I drag along my bratty twin 2 year olds and they scare everyone away, fishies, store owners, other buyers...it's not a pretty site.

Now that I have a salt tank my wife likes to come into the stores with me. She actually encourages the pretty fish buying. You should have seen the disappointment on her face when she saw how large cowfish get. On the bright side she figures we need a bigger tank woot woot.

The stores in Calgary I was in talked more to her than me, maybe that's because I was there with the "money". Not the case, but perception is 90% of life.

Hope you find a good store. A lot of us here would just like to have a store closer than 4 hrs away!!!

So far I've found a few stores I like both for product, and for quality service.

I plan to give the store in question a second chance and if the experience is an improvement over the old one, then great, if not, they don't need my business, easy as that.

Show them a pic of your old setup and walk out the door. Then they'll wish they'd taken you seriously, probably even learned something just by talking with you.
