Your in SD as well as me. I cant find a single fish place that I really like the looks of the fish in. I take that back, here in Escondido, Fish Haven has some good looking tanks. However, whenever I ask them to bring something in for me it just kinda falls off the face of the earth even if I do call or stop by to ask. I have come to terms with the fact that if I want anything out of the ordinary, im going internet. I can get all my actual supplies and hardware in stores though.
Side note, Maxwell (baby fahaka) came in today from LiveAquaria and he looks great. Not emaciated, clear skin, normal belly. Hes in his big tank and looks happy. Interested in the worm I dropped him, but seemed nervous. Still first day though so hopefully get him eating soon.
