LFS "Go To" Guy. You got one?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i most def have a few people i would prefer to talk to at my lfs. I only like to talk to the employees that are crazy fish owners themselves and love to talk about fish even if i don't buy a thing.they always give good advice on what to get for the best price too.
 
I got two go-to guys, the one really knows his fish but it takes him like an hour to catch even a dead fish....I go to him when i dont really know what i want or its charecteristics and i have a lot of time.
The other dude can't spell fish, but he can catch them faster then anyone else...I go to him when i'm in a hurry or know everything about the fish i'm getting.

Can you explain? I have only delt with him this ps weekend and he was talking plecos and from the reasurch I did he was way past what I knew. But if it's not pleco related idk how well he'd do. He's my pleco guy now. Or a lon as hecan find me what I want that they don' carry.

His knowledge is good but he isn't very good at doing what he says hes going to do whether its order a fish, call me back, pass on info to another employee etc.

understandably a concern. I Hate it when people do that. I will keep that in mind in futrue dealings with him. He says he can get a 14"+ L25 so I think I'm going to make him prove it this will be the one that makes or breaks him for me. A big L25 is the only reason I setup this other 125 so I MUST have one.
