Not any more. Not since the Feds busted several here recently.Spyral said:I've seen Alligator Gar in a few LFS's in Seattle.
I would never name names either, and I didn't expect you to out a LFS for selling anything prohibited (petsmart / petco, well, that's a different story ). Enforcement is neither the goal of this forum nor this forum's job. I should have phrased my question differently; for that I apologize.anderson_p_r said:I'm more of a "oooh... that looks pretty, I'll take it." kinda plant shopper. I know terrible. Oh well. The shop I bought one plant from didn't have names with the plants, but they had a binder with pic/name associations. That being said I didn't ask and they didn't say. But I've seen a number of both plants I have available at multiple LFS.
If you didn't notice I'm not one to name names, but what are we to do? Obviously enforcement is lax, seems like the "responsible" thing to do is to be informed and honest fish keepers in an attempt to influence others and the hobby as a whole.
As a business owner I also wouldn't want to do harm to anyone's livelihood, but any business owner assumes certain risks. What are the penalties for a shop found distributing anything on the list?
As patrons we can only trust that what we buy is legal. The local stores are that ones the need to be on their toes regarding the laws.

Precisely.madness said:We cant help it if we are clueless to the restrictions, and we are able to buy at the LFS, but when we do know about the restrictions and we illegally seek out these species and purchase, now there is a big issue.
So the point to this thread is to raise awareness to those that dont really have a clue that that fish they want to buy, is actually illegal.
Ah yes, QT, I remember this. Lol, Billy and I like to joke that the store is just a front for something.... sinister :suspect:madness said:As patrons we can only trust that what we buy is legal.

I lived in Gretna and Old Algiers...used to ride the Canal Street ferry to and from work each day. Great town with lots and lots of great food and music. Fond memories...and I miss NAWLINS too!!!BillHN said:^Gryphon said:Boil 'em, saute 'em, broil 'em, bake 'em, toss 'em in a salad....earthfish said:If you have Crayfish what do you do with them?

Kevin sold off his portion of the business to his partner. The store is going through some changes... have not heard any updates for a while now. Sounds like they were not going to carry the more exotic stuff and streamline.Spyral said:Wait, Kevin doesn't own APFP anymore?madness said:Ask Kevin (the old owner of APFP)
