 Where to buy

FBN? I asked Petsmart and they don’t carry them and I asked Petco and they said they don’t carry them. My local petstore doesn’t have any either, I really don’t want to buy on line, I don’t want to worry about shipping one, where else can I find them at?

Thanks for your help!

both should have them i bought one from petsmart a year ago and i bought 2 more just last week at petco...maybe check another one but they should have them...btw they had the FBN in the fish department...so check there for yourself to make sure, maybe an associate didnt know they were there? If you havent already ask if you can special order them (petco was 3.99$ when i got them last week) so make sure they dont try to over charge you but they can carry them they just might not have them at the moment. Good luck!

I got out my phone book and started calling all the pet stores within the towns/cities I was willing to drive to. That’s how I found mine.

Thanks, i’ll try a different Petsmart/Petco, the guy at Petsmart said they never carry newts or anything like that! It was odd! I always think it’s who you talk to at these places, usually employees always have different answers! lol

I have a 10 gal tank, is that big enough for 2 FBN or should I only put in 1? I’ve read the care sheets but nobody really specifies???

Thanks!

Not all Petco or Petsmart stores carry them. For example, here in Rhode Island I haven’t found any and now they have stopped carrying ACFs. When I first moved here and was looking for java moss I was told that it was against the law to sell them because people would take apart their aquariums and throw the plants into the ponds, lakes, rivers and were choking out the native plants. I finally found a place that carries a type of plant similar to it. It grows fast so I know why they banned it for a while.

Yeah, it’s amazing at how different the stores are for what they will and won’t sell. At least I know where i can get fbn’s!!! I"m really excited! I first want to put together my tank and get it set up and then i’ll order them! Hopefully in the next week or two!!! I have 6 FBT’s in another tank, so, I can’t wait to get this one set up now!!!
