Well I used to live in Central Kentucky
LOL!
I lived there for 7 years, went to high school there, and almost ended up at UK instead of IU. I have family there and am seriously considering moving to Louisville when my BF graduates.
I have asked my
LFS for special orders before. Occasionally it works out, but most of the time their supplier screws up the order and I don't get what I want. I have ordered apistos on numerous occasions and never received any (this has been going on for over a year).
Plus, my
LFS can be kinda pricey. I don't think it will cost me any more to order direct from a breeder and pay shipping than to pay $10-15 per fish at my
LFS.
Which is not to say I don't like doing business there.
Sometimes they have fish that I fall in love with and I just have to get, like my nannacara anomala, my wild caught firemouth, and my twig catfish.
