That's weird, since when did petsmart sell ornate bichers? All I have to say is they must be damn expensive if their neon dwarf gouramis are $7.
Huh, you sound like my customers, a premium and then reasonably close? .........Sorry to be a prick, I'm sure you can get me back for many of my future posting gaffes....ewurm said:
I'm pretty fotunate to to live in an area where the independantly owned fish stores have some good supplier connections. PetSmart is is the place to get crickets. I would be shocked if I walk in to a PetSmart around here and saw annything other than the usual suspects Oscar, Severum, Jack Deemsey... there are maybe a total of four tanks that I'll check, out of the fifty some tanks at PetSmart, they always have the same selection.
By a premium, I mean I will pay a couple of extra dollars for the same thing, but not double. What I will say is that my lfs usually has higher quality specimens, which I do not qualify as the "same". I will ALWAYS buy higher quality.Scottfree said:
Example: Petsmart has platys for two bucks. My fls sells them for three. I will buy a couple platys at petsmart on occasion if my lfs does not have that coloration, but my lfs has some very unusual platys with great coloration that I am willing to pay 5 bucks for. If it comes down to it, I will pay extra to my lfs for the exact same thing because I like the store, the people, and I want to support them. Sometimes they don't have some of the things that petsmart does, but it is rare. I would prefer to buy from lfs.
For most rumors i am aware of, is not in the varities of fish but the condition of the fish that are an issue. whether they are not fed well or how transported, either way some fish are in bad shape at the store
My local petsmart is pretty good, although I still perfer my LFS for the more knowledgeable staff.
