Re: Fish Gallery
Store is looking better all the time....they also have checkerboard cichlids. They have a tank of German and Bolivian rams.
The apistos are not brigante but bitaeniata which they brought over from the Shepherd store. Their new ones are local grown double and triple reds, and orange flash as well.

Re: Fish Gallery
I've been by Fish Gallery a few times since it opened. On my last visit (this past weekend) the tanks still had the hazy cycling funk. Talked to Don, Steve and they readily admitted the tanks were still cycling. I would be hesitant to buy any fish for a few more weeks. I saw floaters left and right and made sure I pointed them out.
Village has always one of my favorite stores, Don and Steve know better then cycling tanks on the backs of their customer's charges but I guess the rent has to be paid and proper cycling/accliamtion procedures are foregone in lieu of sales.
General plant selection was nothing spectacular, although I must admit it was the first time I have every seen Glosso in prepackaged fiber packed plastic containers.
I'm sure Don and Steve will have things up to snuff in the near future, but I'm going to wait until they do.
Best regards,
William

Re: Fish Gallery
Brian,
No doubt the plant holding tanks are stocked but nothing out of the ordinary - other then the farm grown glosso. That said I'm sure we'll start seeing harder to find plants as the store takes root.....
Best regards,
