Sounds like the service at "Discount" Tropical Fish of of 59 South and Wilcrest/Bellfort.
I stopped in there a few weeks ago to see what they had to offer, and the guy ran me out of the store. It was 2 pm and he said he was going to lunch. "Buy something or get out."
I'll never return.
Wow, If alot of these fish stores new about HFB, they might act differently.
sounds like they have something goin on in the back. the fish store is a front to keep the cops and everyone else off there tail. wonder what they got. maybe we should send EK in to investigate. or should we trust him to investigate? maybe hes in on the operations. lol. i mean he did say they were just keepin it real. maybe we should send someone else.
So would that be a stereo type that all asians have some sort of boot leg business behind their cover up store fronts and that we all know karate for some reason?
maybe. i dont konw. you sayin all asians have asome sort of boot leg business. i just watched all 3 rush hours yesterday so im suspicious. plus mike was running a fish sweat shop in the back room
Never mentioned anything about boot leggin......it was actually Cichlidfan who mentioned it and then you went into further detail about it.

Oh and I think the correct title for what Mike had in the back room was a fish whore house.....they were making babies not sneakers.
you only saw the babys being made. not what he was doin with them. lol. and yes i was askin though werer u confirming or denying the back room action? its hard to type with my baby on my lap
They sound horrible! I visit my lfs every week and most of the time I don't make a purchase either but I have never been treated that way. I have sent several people to their store to make purchases. Although there is another lfs in our area that I will "not" go back to. The owner is a know-it-all, and told me that if he thought I was not capable of taking care of a fish he would "not" sell it to me. He also told me that he's not in the business to make money. I wasn't sure if I should have been offended or not. I actually went in there for a copper test kit and that's when he started to "tell me a thing or two". He don't believe in using chemicals, test kits, medications etc. He went on and on! It started to get annoying, I just wanted a test kit that noone else had. He told me that I was doing everything wrong and talked bad about the lfs that I do like. Well that did it! He may not like them but I do. That was my first time there and I have not been back.
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
I've often wondered if some of these stores were fronts for something else or used as tax shelters, 'cause they sure as hell can't be making a living at it. There's one on the north-side of Westheimer near Hwy. 6 that was in the most deplorable condition. Even if you knew nothing about fish, you would not buy anything from them. Never, ever seen fish look that bad.
they're just doing business, and sometimes when business 's going down, they will act like that to their custumers in order to make them have to buy something for every visit. That store is really bad that really like the one at 59 South and Wilrest.
