My few experiences with FLD have not been pleasant either. The last time I went there it was late in the afternoon, about 1 hour and 15 minutes before they closed. The old woman was moping the floor and as I was walking towards the door she rudely asked, "Do you know what you want?" Luckily I did know what I wanted which was to see if they were really selling Scarlet Badis' for $2 each. When I asked she didn't even know what they were but I found them, pointed them out and purchased half a dozen. I haven't been back since. I also am a loyal Ocean Aquarium customer. Justin, Ady, Josephine and Bo Bo (the dog) are the most friendly and helpful LFS staff by far! I tell everyone to go there.

I am always afraid of going there and not purchasing anything. Therefore I
always have a backup purchase to get some worms or baby brine shrimp. The
lady is pretty scary, she would look at me and my friends as if we were
"thieves" as someone said. Or she just didn't appreciate us there. She we
grunt out "Can I help you?" The old man however was much nicer, he even let
me in his breeding rooms to look around.

Ocean Aquarium with Justin and Ady is the best... they are extremely
friendly and try to help out. I can go there and not feel like they will
get angry at me if I don't purchase anything. They will talk to me about
what new fishes they have and what they are expecting to come in. They seem
to know what they are doing and knows the scientific names of just about
everything they sell, plants and fishes. I recently bought a betta there
for $8... I'm not too happy with the price at that place, but I'd always
know that the fishes and plants are healthy. They would quarantine new
fishes for a week before selling them.

About the language barrier, I think they speak some decent English. I'm
Chinese and spoke to them in both languages.

There may be a language problem. Whenever I go there I ask
him how he keeps the bare tanks so clean. Haven't got an answer
yet.

I think it depends on what else is going on for them. Sometimes "mom" is
forthcoming with me, sometimes she is a pill. She will always look for
stuff in the chaotic filing system of stuff they sell if I ask for it.
"Pop" has explained how his filters work for me, showed me his back room,
helped me sex goldfish and smiled alot when I admire the goldies.
Sometimes he is just distracted or pretty closed.
