awesum said:there is this lfs that has them but the owner is being stingy and won't sell them. he has 10 of them too at 5 inches. i hate lfs' that won't give up their fish. they are running a business, how the hell are they going to make money if they want to keep all their fish? bastards!!!!! lfs' have better chances of getting fish than us consumers, why do they have to be like that!!!
You have to keep in mind that some of the LFS' owners are also hobbyist. I do not own a local fish store, but I do sell fish, and I have fish that are for sale, and there are some that I just want to show off, and/or raise to get larger, and get more profit that way. But most of my fish are mine to keep
