Most stores, including the one I work at, will not give anything to people that bring us livebearers (unless they are rare species) simply because we have too many of them already.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

Corydoran Enthusiast Posts: 269 Kudos: 370 Votes: 1217 Registered: 27-Sep-2004 | The fact that many LFSs don't care to save fry is a clear indication of the low demand. Also, many stores (PetCo or PetsMart is one) have exclusive agreements with their suppliers that prevent them from accepting fishes from anywhere else, even for free. |
