What would you like to see in a lfs?

Pavo is right, maybe you should have 1 or 2 tanks with common fish.

 

[BioHazard]

We probably will have some common ones, especially since people like to breed the livebearers.

 

[Michwol42795]

Cool, sounds good!

SA/CA Cichlids: Sajica, Keyhole, & Rainbow are 3 small/ medium size ones you don't see in run of the mill LFS.

Tetra: Columbian, Congo, Emperor, Green Fire, Ember

BN Pleco: Long finned both brown and albino, maybe even blue eyes L144

I am sure I will think of more.

Oh, good tetra ideas. I've seen pictures of congos. They look nice.

EDITED: I'd get some Boraras brigittae. Since they are smaller and can fit more of them in 10Gs

What I'd do is breed livebearers yourself! Have some sort of a fry tank in the bottom! That's be cool!

Ugh.......peacock gudgeons.......can't even deal with those words right now.

Aw. I'm sorry that was insensitive of me

 

[Chrisinator]

Shoot. I skipped page 2.

Here is what I would like to see at more LFS.
-Mopani and Manzanita driftwood in a wide range of sizes
-quality filters, including sponge filters
-a variety of healthy plants
-various rock for hardscapes

and for fish
-Dario dario (of course)
-Badis badis
-Pseudomugils
-sparkling, licorice, and (if possible) chocolate gouramis
-killies
-dwarf crays
-pygmy cories
-Hara jerdoni
-Boraras, Microrasboras, and other nano fish
-CPDs
-Rasbora sarawakensis
-Rummynose rasboras
-some of the more unusual barbs, like filaments and odessas
-wild livebearers (platies, swordtail, and mollies)
-Goodeids
-halfbeaks
-Exodon paradoxus
-Stiphodon gobies
-smaller knifefish (African browns and centipedes)
-puffers
-payara
-polypterus
-wild bettas

Basically, anything that makes you do a double take and say WTF or "WOW!"
I cannot emphasis how much I would love to see wild variety livebearers. They will breed in the tank, and they're just as beautiful as the captive varieties. Girardinus metallicus would sell, size of guppies and beautifully colored.
