you guys are lucky, i live on the AF base and it's a 20 min drive to the city. and they only have ONE pet store with a very small selection of fish. and then there is wal mart...those are my two places for supplies, and they are very limited...And the nearest good pet store is 2 hours away.....it sucks...

don't know...I've been to Iraq twice. i miss my son and my wife a lot. when i left he couldn't lift his head up, and when i came back he was walking around and talking. i missed my 21st birthday. and we're not allowed to drink there. so i don't know. it's a really hard decision.

I have an awesome store about 2 miles from home, http://www.preusspets.com/ , but they're moving to a larger location that's about a 10 minute drive which isn't that bad.

Petco and Petsmart really close, and then there's my awesome lfs really close too. I'm so fortunate to be able to be at a pet or fish store at least once a week!

NOT----FAIR!!!!
:P like 5 Petco/marts are tied for closest to me, but they are all about a 35 min drive for me And my lfs is pretty small (theyre expanding their fish section tho, probably because I go in there like once a week hehehe

Wow, I don't know how you can stand it Emma. I don't think I could live without Petco right near me.
My lfs is pretty small too, they just sell a lot of fish, and then a small really expensive selection of equipment. Hehe I must drive my parents nuts always wanting to go there though.

Funny thing is that there is a Fish store just around the corner, but I don't go to them I go to the one which is about 45 minutes bus ride, only coz of it's variety and wonderful help

newbie101

and at my lfs there id this person who actually knows a good amount about fish compatibility and stuff, but she says plants are HARMFUL to a tank! Which they are anything but!

0morrokh

Wierd. If you ever remember, ask her what she bases this on, I'd like to know how she figures plants are bad for the aquarium.

newbie101

yeah...

10 -15min to my nearest and most frequented lfs!

The closest one is about a 2 min walk but it is really a bad one. The next one to that is about a 5 min drive.

5-10 min, depending on lights & traffic.

Mine is about 30 minutes away, depending on traffic. I don't go out in that neck of the woods for anything else though, so I have to make it a point to go there. There's a pet store about a 10 minute drive from home that I pass on my way to and from work, so I pick up supplies there sometimes. The other store is my favorite though, and I go to them for fish. That's also where I got my tank, stand, and other necessities (filter, heater, etc.).

Ok, I have a small store that sells a few fish meds, foods and water conditions 1 mile away, about a 4 minute drive. Next in line is www.fatfishinc.com which is 10 miles away, about 22 minutes or so...then, PetSmart after that. Its 14 miles from me, or 24 minutes.

Then, its www.bbpetstop.com, which is 30 miles/47 minutes away.

There is another store about that same distance from me, but in the opposite direction, that I've never been to. I'll have to go check it out sometime.
