Hobbit Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) I'm up on Long Island visiting my brother, and of course whenever you travel somewhere, you have to go to a LFS! This place was SOOO impressive. Their main focus is parrots, and those were also impressive, but their fish section could have easily been a successful store all on its own. Some of their selection: Alligator Gar: Giant discus!! It's hard to tell from the picture but it was probably 7 inches. Plaaaants A very friendly oscar who liked to show off: Croaking gouramis in here! Cool fish I'd never seen before: Friendly feather fin!! A mini Pooka! Died blood parrots with an even smaller Pooka: Highfin loach! And one of the staff was wearing a Murphy hat! So of course we had to take a selfie. Thanks for humoring me, Lee! And thanks for all your help selecting plants! You should all be amazed that I didn't get any fish. But I did get lots of plants!

Patrick_G Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks like a fun trip! How did you resist the Feather Fin! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) It’s meeee! (I believe there’s only been one other “me” sighting on this forum. Special day!) Aaaaand I’m happy to report that I went back after an hour or so and got fish. 😆 I couldn’t resist getting something! But not a feather fin. The last yo-yo loach, who tried to escape Lee by shoving himself inside a log, and three more cardinal tetras to add to the School of Dr. Neidecker. My mom (Dr. Neidecker) even bought them for me!

H.K.Luterman Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I love how you called the Featherfins "Pookas." 😄 I've totally been looking up LFSs near my parents house in preparation for my trip up there in July! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griznatch Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Very cool, love the pictures! A hobbit and Murphy (hat) sighting 🙂 Love seeing other fish stores, pretty slim picking for those here in Idaho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 And of course I have to share pictures of my haul. 😁 The tetras look great: And the little loach is so cute! He’s already coming up to investigate a wiggling finger! So friendly!! It seemed all the fish there were really unusually friendly. I think a lot of people come through to visit them. 😊 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
