LFS VISIT - Bellingham, WA. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME FISH STORE. ~ Load Warning!!

[Miles]

I got the chance to visit an awesome fish store in Bellingham, WA, this last week. This is the 4th time I have been to this fish store, and finally got a chance to talk to the owner. He has a super-knowledgable staff, and they all have AMAZING fully planted tanks, with pc lighting and low co2 plants (Javas).. Tons of planted driftwood for sale, great substrate selection, and AWESOME fish selection. Not alot of 'Monster' fish as that is not really the market in Bellingham, but I am working on that with them ..

Any product you could think of, they have it.. Although it might look cluttered, what's a good fish store without a little clutter? I need to get ready for my day right now, but I will throw up some pics and finish up this thread later with some closing words.

This is a planted tank person's heaven. So many rare plecos and cories, I was in awe, just as I am at every visit..

(This is only like 1/2 the pics.. Haven't even got to shots of the 'walls')..

This is the biggest waste of a MONSTER tank I have ever seen.. Sorry Larry, but you need MONSTERS in MONSTER TANKS, not Feeder Fish!

Some individual fish pics!

The 'Master of the Fish Room' was nice enough to walk me around and 'spook out' alot of their super-rare L-numbered plecos! They had an AWESOME selection of fish for smaller planted tanks. Blows any fish store out of the water, here in Spokane. Pun Intended.

MFK people in Seattle Area, you should make the drive to check this place out! They are AWESOME, they will hunt down fish for you, and they have GREAT knowledge.

They only hire marine biology majors out of Western Washington U., and the requirements is they must own fish and don't smoke pot! So a very select few in this city make it onto staff!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.

Here is a pic of the front of the store, and pictures of me making the best of my time in the downtown area.

Clark's FEED&SEED is the name of the company, and it has been in business in the downtown Bellingham area for over 100 years. Larry is the name of the owner, and Don is the person who runs the fish room. All great people, check it out if you are ever in the area, or if anyone takes a trip to Vancouver, BC, it is 20 minutes across the border.
