Listing of LFS's

[phetish]

As a complete newbie, something that would have helped me was a listing of the Local Fish Shops and their contact information. What do you folks think about making a list of the LFS's in the Tulsa area and make it a sticky topic - maybe include their area of specialty?

I wouldn't suggest making it a "review and comment" section but it would be nice to have it all in one place to make it handy.

Here are the ones that I have been to and have contact info for: WHO AM I MISSING???

Don't have the contact info handy right now, but PAWS at 31st & Sheridan and the shop in Owasso, don't even know the name of it.

I hate to say it but there is Petco and Petsmart. Didn't PetMart go out of business?

Yes - Petmart is gone - I thought about including Petco and Petsmart, but decided this is a list of Local Fish Stores - so they don't belong on the list. Maybe I'll include them in order to have a complete list, but I'd rather see my $$$ go to a local merchant and stay in the local economy.

As an aside - I just closed my own store in June (not a LFS) and the last couple of days, we gave a discount to people who would give us a list of their favorite local merchants. On those lists people put "GAP", "Hot Topic", "Borders Books", etc. When I asked someone why they put "Gap" on their list since it was a national chain, they said "oh no - it's local! there's one in Utica Square!" ARGHHH!

Maybe someone with OMAS should contact a Moderator about making this thread a sticky so it is always handy :D

Man love a pet (no offense) but sucks... there fish are normally really overpriced and/or dead,dying,or diseased... I just don't like going there...

[beakfreak]

I think what the TheMcs was talking about is Pet Stop.And they usually have some rare cool fish but are mildly overpriced.

[predatorpassion]

let's just say they had big-eye soldierfish for 120$

[quaz]

I would be more inclined to mention that Ultimate Reefs has a website but it is mostly under construction at this time. feel free to check it out www.ultimatereefs.com

Interestingly enough - the administrators of ReefCentral have set a timelimit of 60 minutes to edit a previous post. I had hoped to continue editing the first entry in this post to make the list easier to see and update as things change, but alas, that is not to be.

[marineaquariums]

i was in tulsa this weekend checked out a few stores,, umm not to bad.. prices were all very high compared to florida where i live i know we dont buy them any cheaper.
but like all citys there is only one store worth going to to buy animals
was thinking about moving back to tulsa and starting a salt only aquarium shop very big and lots of water with nothing but the best of animals and service not in it for the money
what do u guys think about one more store
oh yae didnt see bixby fishiers in the phone book
when i lived there 10 years ago i remember him to have a very nice store but small
is he still around
maybe see ya all soon
i ever remember the lingo
regards
Bill

[TheMcs]

Bill,
Bixby Fisheries is no more, Charles passed away some years ago. Too bad, he had the best husbandry ethics of anyone. He's who I bought my first tank from.

[marineaquariums]

oh man im sorry to hear that and yes he did have great husbandry ethics, i always tried to keep my buisness his way
well maybe i can match his ethics towards the buisness
is that a doberman i have one of them nut cases too

[TheMcs]

It's a Dane.

[marineaquariums]

i see he enjoys the fis tanks too

[bkhd]

Fairly new LFS opened in Claremore..

Sea Scapes
341-1400
The owner (Tammy) is very helpfull, she has dedicated a lot of time and effort into helping us get all setup and running. I would recommend her to anyone. It is a modest shop compared to some in Tulsa area, her prices are great and she hand picks her fish. This lady loves her fish and isnt just in it for the sale.

[jc8745]

Just my 2 cents,
We are fortunate, i'm by fort smith 2 times a week, on tuesday i took time to visit the local pet and fish stores there. I was disappointed, there wasnt much stock of anything, and in one store there was a great deal of algae and dead fish.

So i hope everyone takes time to support our local stores cause we have it good.

Anyone gonna update this????????????? Lots of changes...unfortunately!!!
