Okesa Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 In a different thread, @Fish Folksuggested I make a post about what a LFS is like in Japan. I'm thinking about trying to go to mine this weekend. It's there anything in particular y'all are interested in seeing? If there are any specific fish or products you'd like to see, let me know and I'll do my best to get some pictures. 6 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I'm interested in ALL of it! But please, livebearers!! I'd also be curious about their live/frozen foods 🙂 Thank you for doing this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the owner will allow you to film a video, just a quiet, calm walk-through is perfect. No need for comments if you don’t want to say anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Thank you for possibly doing this it’s very thoughtful. I’m with @Fish Folk a walkthrough would be grand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 What a treat that would be. Another vote for livebearers from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm excited to see this! I'm not picky, I'd just love the experience. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This may not be essential, but for my part, I always _buy things_ first, affirming that I’m a paying customer before asking a store / manager if they’d “do me a favor.” I’d want to be very respectful. Be sure to look awhile at plants and any aquascaping materials / set-ups. That Amano influence runs very, very deep… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need turtle food and 4 nerite snails, so I've got the buying things part covered. 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenman Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If you putter around on YouTube, which apparently I do too much, you can find fish store tours from all over the world including multiple ones from Japan. It's pretty neat seeing what's popular elsewhere and the prices. Just Google "fish store tour videos" and you can spend a day or two catching up on fish stores around the world. There are a ton of videos out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okesa Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 I need to edit the video clips I took to make sure there aren't any customers in them and remove the audio so they don't get flagged by Disney, but until I get the chance to do that, here are some pictures I took at the LFS this weekend.

Guppysnail Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) This is amazing. Never thought I would envy how a fish store tank looks! I wish American stores would up their game like this. Edited September 27, 2021 by Guppysnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small one inside the hardware store close to my house doesn't have any cool tanks - just fish and maybe some elodea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.K.Luterman Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I love fish store tours! The ones from Japan always make me so jealous. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrey Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I love the display of the plants, especially the moss growing on coconut shells, it looked like? Thank you so much for sharing all of this, it's reassuring to see other people/stores having success with a deep substrate method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okesa Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Here is a short walk-through of the store. I had to stick close to the tanks to make sure I didn't get any customers in the frame, and they were playing loud Disney music, so I had to remove the audio. I tried to caption things as best as I could, but there could be some mistakes trying to translate from the Japanese into English. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
