  • visited another LFS - Global Fish n Pets

    well, you guys read my take on the first three LFS i visited under the "LFS trip - who's cool and who's not" thread, i was able to make a trip to Global Fish n Pets and i have to say i was "underwhelmed" to put it nicely

    pros: good prices, some large specimens, can't really think of anything else

    cons: fish are not in greatest shape (i would never buy livestock from there), the place really stinks, not much of a selection, i did not see plants, and they carry tattood/dyed mollies - says "i love you" and various other "messages", really? do we need tattood fish with all the beautiful colors in fish naturally, do we really need to dye them?  i am sorry, it is something that really bothers me, i know none of us are angels (i am far from it), but this is just taking cruelty to a new level that does not need to happen at all, i will stop griping

    i won't go back here unless they have really good deals on non-living things (tanks, pumps etc)

    Their freshwater sucks and I rarely see much people go in there for them other then the Flowerhorns.....He has kept those Tropheus alive for a really long time now which I cannot say for most other LFS.

    His main thing is tanks and Reef livestock which I am sure no one can complain with.

      yes the flowerhorns were nice, the big boss at the front door was very impressive indeed, i have to say, i did not look into reef stuff, my opinion was mostly based on freshwater stuff as a whole

            You have to look underneath the tank stands and you will see a HUGE low sided open top tank that has one animal in it.  When you have seen it, you will know.. When I say I would be worried about a small child falling in that tank I am not kidding.  EK would you say that thing is at least 3.5-4ft in length ?

                  I wonder if it would eat a cat...........poetic justice if it did. LOL, I need to go to bed before I really say something stupid.

                      Yes loopy, that is what we are referring to and according to the info sheet it says they get up to 4'.........this one is probably that if not just shy a bit.


                      And right now they feed the thing lab rats so I'm sure a small cat would be a good meal for it.

                              You have not been the first person I have heard this from...I guess it's just wrong since they are family friends.
