How do you rate your LFS

I like a little respect from the employees.Quality of livestock,price is my last concern.The store I shop at has all 3.

Price is of little concern if I know the fish is healthy. I am about 90% Gold's and only ever go elsewhere if something rare pops up.

Where else will they hold a fish for you until they are sure it is eating and healthy?

So I guess for me it is customer sevice and quality of livestock.

Quality of livestock.
I like it when they offer to feed a fish before I ask them to.
I like it when they tell me the fish is not eating when I show and interest in it.

Some stores get miffed if you ask them to feed the fish or tell you it was just fed. Avoid these stores.

Good thread. Thanks

I love it when the staff tells you a fish is not eating yet etc. They instantly gain my trust. Why lie to get a quick sale when all you are doing is losing a customer if the fish dies.

I don't have a lot of choice, just whoever sells online . One of the pet stores here is getting into saltwater fish but unfortunately he has no idea what he is doing.

I will gladly pay more at a store that has good quality livestock and good customer service. There is a place in the Lower Mainland that has very good prices but the worst service and (as far as I am concerned) not the best quality of livestock...I'll go to OA and pay as much as they want just for their service and high quality of livestock. They actually care about customers.
