enjoy having a pet store near you that has only exotic fish and snakes ?
like hard to find rare imports. there are none here in san antonio and its really depressing. so me and my fiance are thinkin of opening a store called strickly exotics we want to have lot sof snakes and fish as well as some other exotics like sugar gliders and things of that nature.
just want to see how you guys would like the idea.
 
I for one would really like something like that... but unfortunately the best I got is a petsmart and petco.. its an hour and a half drive to a good local lfs for me. But they do get in some of the more rare species along with their normal everyday stuff
 
there are three lfs around me but they all seem to be getting less and less cool stuff. (dont mean to offend anyone) but like normal mollys and bettas and tetras and just little boring fish. i want somethin big and mean or at least big and unique. alot of places have alot of cichlids too. which some are cool but they would be dinner in my tank in a few seconds.
 
i would absolutely love something like that. you're right, its very hard find rare animals so I usually end up looking on-line.
 
which 4 stores are you referring to??
 
Sounds like u have an idea for an awesome lfs.. if all works well maybe you could end up as a vendor on mfk! Good luck on your venture and I say go for it !!
 
I grew up in San Antonio but been gone a while. Wasn't there an LFS over there off Bandera before Wurzbach going east bound, tucked in the corner of that shopping center.

i think there was also one near Marshall HS on Bandera

Never been to either, but just throwing that out there
 
My only concern would be not being able to sell enough to survive. As a side business it would be awesome. When I worked at a pet store we sold mostly bread and butter fish with the occasional exotic.
