Wanted: Lyretail Mollies on the NW side

[ScorpiosWife]

I'm looking for healthy Lyretail Mollies of any variation except balloon.

Anyone have any overstock they want to part with on the NW side? I'm in Tomball.

Thanks!

The petsmart on 1960 & 249 had some lyretails, but not sure if there are any in stock now

[ScorpiosWife]

Was that a few weeks ago? If so, those are the ones I bought.

[mistahoo]

Don't remember but when I looked at them, they were lyretails not the reg dalmation ones

[ScorpiosWife]

I'll run by there again tomorrow & see if they have anymore. I went by last weekend but they didnt have any. The search continues! Thanks for the input.

Checked out PetSmart this morning. They have 3 Dalmatian Lyretails but they look awful. They just got a new shipment in so I had one of the employees open one of the boxes to find me any kind of lyretail molly and he did. Of 6 Creamsicles in the bag, one was dead, one had no eye, one was almost dead & none of them were moving around. I guess last time I got lucky. The search continues. I'm looking for 6 or more. 1 male, the rest female, healthy & not lethargic. Any kind of Lyretail Molly will do!

Good luck! I bought some orange sailfin lyretails from the one I mentioned above about a week and a half ago. If you're willing to drive, there's another petsmart on 1960 and I-45. My brother's gf bought 3 orange sailfin lyretails about 4-5 days ago? They also had dalmation and silver lyretails. I'm not sure if they still have any in stock though

Cool. Thanks for the info. I went to the one you mentioned this morning, that's where I got the last ones. I'll check the chains here in Tomball again today as well.

shipping conditions suck. what you described really does seem to be the norm. i get new fish on fridays, and i usually wont sell any new fish until ive had them at least a couple days so that the ones that are going to die die at the store, not peoples tanks.

[ScorpiosWife]

From box to tank. I asked at the PetSmart in Tomball just to see if that was the norm for the chain and he told me they put them right in the tanks, but they have the 14 day guarantee so that makes it ok. LOL Uh, ok. I did find some Dalmatian Mollies there. They didn't get any in this week, so those were from the last shipment (whew). Picked up a couple of Creamsicle Lyretails, too. They had 1 female who is about to domino and 6 males! I felt bad for her so I bought her and one male, lol. Poor thing, no wonder she's knocked up!
