Hey everybody. Just wanted to know everyone's opinion. Sometimes I switch back and forth between getting a fish whose health is questionable because it is cheaper, sometimes 2X cheaper, to paying a lot more for a fish that looks healther. If I'm low on funds, sometimes I will buy the cheaper fish, as long as I think it's not difficult to make it better. The reason I'm asking is because I live in San Francisco and we have fish stores with a wide-variety of prices for the same type of fish.
I went to Aquatic Central yesterday and the fish were higher in price but the fish looked healthy. I usually go to 6th Avenue on Clement because they get a large variety of different types of fish and they are really cheap. I know the quality isn't as good, because of their high turn-over without letting the fish get settled and the practice of letting the public get their own fish. I've had mostly good luck buying fish there but I have to choose very carefully. I also know some of the staff so I get hints at what they are going to get and when so I can buy them almost as soon as they get them. I think because I get them as soon as they receive the fish, the fish don't have enough time to get sick. I don't know, that's just what I do. Thanks, Dr_Shakalu.
