I just called my LFS to see if they have the fish in that I've been waiting for. First I had to wait until the tank had cycled properly, then I had to wait until they came in (they're imported). I called to find I missed them! They came in and sold out of them in less than a week, maybe 2-3 days tops! Ugh! We had just added the Angels & snails and needed to wait a week before I could add more. Ugh! This is soooo frustrating. To top it off, they even had a shipment of the all white and marbled Angels we wanted and sold out of those too! Doh.

not sure for you but at my lfs, you can pre-order thngs such as you have done, except if you would like you can leave a small deposit(depending on overall price of fish)so that they will hold them for a few days for you.you should ask the store manager about it.

Thanks I'll try that. See how it works out. On the upside, I went to the LFS to see what they had left. They had my Black Ruby Barbs! I went ahead and bought them at full price. (I was afraid they would be gone by Sunday when the fish are half off.) "Vengence is mine!" said Mushu [Mulan]. I drove the netter crazy with no,no get that one. I need at least 2 males. Nope that's another female.

HaHa. Serves um right for selling my fishes. It's all in fun though. I'm happy and the kids are gonna flip when they come home to them.

well thats good.lol an its always funny to watch lfs personel scramble and try and catch the fish you want.

Heh, I really confused a fish store worker when they had a tank marked pygmy corys that actually contained two Corydoras species, and I only wanted C. pygmaeus. She insisted they were all pygmy corys and I told her a little more assertively that what she had caught me included two species.

But yeah, CK is right, I've had the store hold fish for me in the past.
