So I just discovered a GREAT LFS in my area.
Just wanted to chime in here to explain my shopping experience. So I was asking them about their setup. They said their whole tropical system is all connected and running off a massive 400 gallon custom sump in the back.
So I looked at every tank, out of the whole system, I did see one fish dead (pleco). I figured with the volume of water in their system and the quantity of fish, it was an acceptable risk to me. I saw no signs of ICH on any of their fish, and they stated nothing was medicated. Just old fashioned good filtration.
All of their fish appeared very healthy and active. They are open to custom ordering fish and keeping the fish outside their system if you pick them up the same day!
One of the "kids" that helped me asked me what I had, I asked what he had (was not expecting him to have anything). Said he had a 380 gallon and multiple 40 gallons in his house with a bunch of different setups. I was floored. Took as good of care of possible netting and bagging the fish.
I am so excited to find this store. I will now only go to Petsmart for some random supplies. Just wanted to share my story and excitement.
