I absolutely agree gangster. Not having to ship is a huge plus and a motivational factor to buy from the LFS. I actually know most of the LFS in Sac. I usually do a round trip to all the LFS that carries, IMO, the better fish. I hit up Exotic Aquarium, then JoJo's, after that I hit up highway 99 and head towards O street aquarium, and then Capitol Aquarium. And along the way back, if I feel good, I hit an african cichlid store on Freeport (I've got a soft spot for African Cichlids, my first love. lol) But there are actually a lot more pet stores but all they carry are the same'o generic fish like PetSmart. Jojo's is by far the best place to get oddball and predatorial fish, I know the owner Andy pretty well, cool peeps.
BUT... Anybody in Sac or close by have anything cool??
