So it begins.
I've printed a list and visited five or six, and have yet to find any stores where I would want to buy fish.
I've heard that in the last two years, over a dozen lfs have closed in the Louisville area. Figures.
I visited one yesterday that had a 'fish room' as small as my office workspace, (which is not very big at all) and a lone 'new employee' who knew 'you can't put those with those' and hadn't cleaned out the dozen platys that had died and made their way to the filter intake. Ew.
The one before that was close to home and had a huge fish room - I was excited for a second - and then I saw the tanks. I think perhaps there were an average of three corpses per tank.
There is hope, however. . . at Sandy's.

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like a clean store - and I hope healthy fish. I hope so, as it seems they're my last local hope. I'm headed there tomorrow morning, so wish me luck!
:edit:
I just noticed they have Dwarf Frogs buy one get one - how well do they handle 'the cycle'?
