Thanks Alan. RG's are usually $24.95 at the LSOH's and Pisces. So it is not quite as good a deal. I understand Kim's problem, but if you are looking for Group type fish such as Neon Gobies, or Catalina Gobies it would be a good idea.

I hear that petcetera's salt tanks are so sterile (Massive UV unit) that the fish's immunity becomes weak and then when you get it home, it dies very quickly. (Sorry my engrish not make cents. Long day) Also I heard of them getting many cynide caught fish. Everything I've bought from them has died and most of my friends whom have bought stuff from them also have a high casualty rate!

I went into Petcetera once and saw fish writhing in pain from starvation. It's not something I ever care to repeat, or support, to save a $.

I have had super success mail ordering fish from places such as J & L, etc.

I have no more room for fish....but now you have me wanting to....guess I need another tank.......

Default Save a buck, kill more fish...

You've got to wonder about a mall outlet LFS that has black cyano stringing throughout their tanks... :shock:
And they ask you what you think about it, because they've tried everything and it just keeps coming back. My advice: "Drain all these tanks."

On the brighter side, after I heard a survival story from the LSOH, I dropped in a couple weeks in a row. "Hardly any" fish dying in his tanks, and lots of real nice looking animals. But, like EmilyB I have no room.

well, i REALLY hate to admit this but some years ago i used to work there. I ended up quiting cause of there sw conditions (amongst other things), but the UV sterilizers have NEVER been replaced since the store opened, so i am guessing that they dont work all too well.

Little Shop of Horrors ... aka Wai's. I dunno ... the nickname works for me. I totally expect one day to find a man-eating-alien-space-plant that sings and dances in there....
