Feels weird... Went to house of tropics today... Did not really have anything interesting. I almost always buy at least 1 fish when i go to a fish store! Just feels weird. How often do you guys buy fish?

Not often since the baby.
But seems live every time I step foot in a store I leave with something. (That's sort of why I stay away unless I need stuff)

I always buy a fish when I go to a fish store. I just brought 2 small festae the other day from HOT. I went back Saturday and brought the last two lol... I really can't help myself when it comes to fish stores. I have to buy something even if its a plant.

Ironic, I went to HOT yesterday as well and saw nothing interesting. Walked out with nothing, "will power". I always seem to buy something as well whether it be food , equip, or fish.

I used to have the addiction where I couldn't walk out of a LFS without purchasing something, but I've gotten better. Mostly because I don't have the tank space to add fish.

I find it hit or miss.....I'm tyring to be pickier about what I get and curb my urge to impulse-buy fish that I haven't fully researched.

I find it much harder to walk out of there with no fish if I go with a "friend" like Jim who stands there and points out all of the fish that would be cool in my tank. :)

I do like to buy supplies at HOT even though I can get them cheaper on the internet. I don't have to pay shipping, and I like to give the few LFS left in the area my business so that they'll be open when I really need them. Like when I need fish meds, or when a pump part breaks on Friday afternoon....

It's definitely cheaper to buy supplies on the Internet, but we do need to support our LFSs, if we want them to survive. If current trends continue, we'll have only mail order and the big chains.

My tanks are so full of fish these days that I usually don't buy any fish when I visit a LFS. So I try to buy frozen foods or other supplies when I go.

Frozen and live foods are the biggest reason I miss not having a local fish store.

If a store like HOT was near my house, I would stop by at least once a week and probably buy something, not every time, but often. I only have petsmart and petco near me and I really don't stop by those stores.
