Mr Gumby Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I picked up 3 glowlight danios from a lady that was closing her fish room. On the way home I called in at my LFS and grabbed another 3. Hopefully there a bit happier in a bigger group 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Went Saturday to the same LFS/LPS store for a local fish club meeting. Things I bought were all non fish related but I took some shots of their store tanks to share…because who does not love planted tank pictures 🤣 These are located in the dry goods area throughout the store They have about 10 more super cool ones in the fish room but it was Saturday and packed to the gills so I did not want to be in the way Bonus pictures…some of their saltwater store tanks Bonus footage…me petting a ray. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binkysmom Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I'm lucky enough to have a few local stores. I buy 95% of my aquarium stuff from one in particular. Everything from food, substrate, plants, ferts and fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I thinks it is funny (a shame), the most shopping I do at a mom and pop is at The Aquarium Co Op…. On Line. I really don’t have a great selection. It is kinda sad. I have 5 stores, one is 90 minutes away, three are about 45 minutes away and 10 minutes away. And not worth the drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) You guys... I am over the moon🌙 about this mom & pop shop product! The shop, though, is on Etsy. I know, I know.. we said "physical" mom & pop shop (and I shop at my LFS too, don't worry).. But still! This is a water diverter! How cool is this?! When you use a hose (such as Python) to refill your tank, this protects your aquascaping by dispersing the water. Before, my tank refills would dig a hole in my sand, even if I kept the hose end up near the top of the tank. And the snail was not impressed by these dust storms if he was in the vicinity 😜. I bought this product, tried it, and it works like a dream. Less disruption to the fishes and snails too; nobody gets pushed around. The seller uses fish safe 3d printing medium (pla) to make these. He also sells a lid prop, a test tube holder, and other stuff that makes our lives easier every day in our fish rooms!

Flumpweesel Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So I tried a different LFS today it is only a 15 mins walk from home. I'd not been before as it it's a marine shop and only recently added freshwater to their stock. I got some dry and frozen fish food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted May 28, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted May 28, 2022 Here is the first store I visited in Germany. Definitely not a mom and pop. I shot a video here so you’ll have to wait to see how cool it is. But this is in their Home Depot. Better than chains in the USA by miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Tried another new store after not getting what I wanted from yesterday's and I have gained 1 lotus bulb One giant Anubis A huge Amazon sword 2 peppered corys 8 cherry shrimp (red) Nice little shop fish breeding in lots of the store tanks about 30 min drive from mine but just round the corner from my mums so extra points adding a family visit to the mix.

Katherine Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 New snails! We went in looking for a nerite or two and came out with a nerite and a mystery. Both colors we didn't have yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 My new Cory cats from my lfs 5 days ago. There adjusting well in my qt tank. I figured they would since there tanks and mine are from the same water source. Can't wait to move them into the big tank in a few more weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVoyager31 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Incredibly jealous of some of these large LFS! Mine is very small, cramped and primarily saltwater but do have a decent freshwater selection. I recently bought a HUGE red tiger lotus plant from my lfs and its beautiful! Though, the lotus bulb I bought from ACO grew to be 20X as big in half the time! Its honestly too big and bothering me at this point 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Went into 3 LFS today. Bought check valves and test strips. But check out the cool stuff I saw. Goby the Earthmover Coral “flowers” opening and closing: https://youtube.com/shorts/-JMOcaVlyxg?feature=share Oh yeah, actually I did buy some live brine shrimp. I love how it’s ready to serve. And check out these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Sadly, there isn't a mom & pop LFS in my area... we have the 3P's (Petco, PetSmart and Pet Supermarket)... that's what I go to choose from if I want to take it home that day. I wish there was a LFS close by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
