So who here has a "GoTo" guy at the LFS. Or have a few at each store? I know tht when I do business with some place I like to do business with the same person all the time. Or at least when I meen to order something I talk to the same guy.

I have one LFS that I am in good with the manager and whenever I am there he is really the only one that I like to talk to. And with me buying ALL of my tanks that I bought new from this place he is more then willing to help. They may not be able to get the most rare fish but they are very helpfull and can get most equpiment for a good price.

At another LFS that I buy my fish from. (they can get more rare fish) I have one guy I like to deal with b/c he's the one that sold me My 585 so I am greatfull to him so I try to get a sael for him when he's in. Kinda you scratch my back ill scratch yours type thing.
Then at the same place yesterday found that the livestock manager Is a huge Pleco nut and more then likly has knowledge that would rival or surpass davo or wyldfya. This suprized the hell out of me. now I have my own pleco nut and a LFS that can order me most any that I want and A guy there that I feel will get me the correct fish.


So who esle has a "Go To" person at the LFS
 
Nope Darn I wish I would sell my convict offsprings and shrimp for credit :D
 
at my lfs theres ppl i like to avoid. but the problem is is that they work full time so i cant really avoid them. they dont really know anything if i ask them a question about certain fish. i feel like when i go there that i should be working there because i know more than them. but there are some ppl there that do know their stuff. i prefer my other lfs petland, theyll look up figures for me, and offer advice that i know is right.

Is his name ""Pleco Dave''?? I used to have a manager at my lfs named Pleco Dave who was crazy about plecos and ran my lfs. He was awsome.
 
Every store in my area that i visit has someone keeping an eye open for the type of fish i keep for me:}.They all know i am a crazy fish lady.
 
There was one manager that moved between a couple store I frequent, but he left. I normally went to him more about getting ahold of certain species and things like that. Now I work at one of the stores and I am generally the one people (including other employees) come to especially for cichlid or plant questions. They also just hired a guy that is a discus guru of sorts. He has yet to have any of his pair off and breed, but he has an awesome collection
