how often do you go to the fish store

it seems as time goes by i'm going to the LFS more and more often. i cant go past one (or past the town which has one!) without popping in to eye up my next purchase! am i becoming obsessed with all things fishy?! how often do you go on average?

I go as much as possible (sadly, that is not an option).

Hah! I couldn't agree more. I always end up buying something. My roomates make fun of me for it, but I can't help it. I love looking at the fish and sometimes have to pretty much get dragged out of there-otherwise I might pitch a tent and stay the night!

Re: how often do you go to the fish store

its impossible to go in and just browse!!! my 2 yr old gets bored quite quickly which is just as well as thats my cue to leave, usually hastily grabbing some fish etc on the way!!

We go at least once a week. Either the fish or the cats always need something. Of course I also like to keep an eye on their fish. What they are bringing in, the quality of each species & what not.

I normally go whenever I'm in the area, so about once a week (which was my vote). Tuesday I found another LFS which is almost on my way two days a week, so this could bump up quickly...

Since we mainly shop online and at the fish club auctions, we don't go to the fish stores a whole lot, but do love going in to browse.

i used to go to each petstore in my area once a week, mind u i have many many petstores near me... it got to the point where they gave me dirty looks because i dont always buy something... kindof annoying really because if they dont want my business then i dont have to give it to them.. ya know? oh well... still fun to look! i go to petco for my snake stuff regardless.. they enjoy my business cuz i bring my doggie sometimes.. they heart her!

Every weekend, which is always an adventure because thats when the orders get in at my lfs.

I have to walk past a lfs on my way to work every day. Now on first name terms with the owner! Use to pop in every day just to browse but now know when their delivery day is so only go in once a week now unless i need something urgently.

Every week theres 7 fish shops on the way home from work so its very hard not to go to one of them.

where online ? I was always worried about fish being shipped...but I guess the LFS gets them somehow...

and I go to the LFS about as often as I shop for groceries lately!

I go once a week to get water for my water changes. That and I just look around at all the fish.

Only when I need something, or every couple months "just to look", because I'm fourteen and my parents drive me. I don't really have a choice.

My favorite LFS is on my home from work . The people there are knowledgable and actually care about the fish. I am on a first-name basis with most of them. When I occasionally miss a day (I usually just stop in to have a look and chat), I hear about it the next time I walk in. I'm not proud, I know I have a problem.

Hi!

The trick is to try go whenever you pass an LFS. My way of getting all I need!

I go about every two weeks or a little longer. There pretty much isnt too much for me to get and it can be disappointing. Me and the kids pretty much go when we get bored and at night so that only leaves petsmart. If we want a real treat we go to Fountains because its nice too look at but kinda pricey. Im gonna be on a very tight budget starting in a month so im trying to cut back on my fish store habbit.

Also atm i have pretty much everything i need and guppies are taking up all tanks. Really shouldnt get any more fish though i do want a BN but cant seem to find in any stores. I will soon have to give up my common pleco.

I cant drive yet and the nearest fish store is 40 minutes away over a mountain. And thats just a petco nothing great. So usually once every two months if I'm lucky.

My local fish is an actual fishstore but they do have turtles and inverts and coral and fish food. It is in bike riding distance! It is a long boring bike ride. I truely say it is worth it and I never brought fish home like that. Ill try tomorrow with a damsel. I have been going almost everyday.
