I've been to Tropic Brew 3x already. The owner (Eddy) is very accommodating. Their prices are definitely more expensive than MA (some just a little) but the fishes that you buy form them are of better quality (because they are conditioned) and you can actually see them eat before you buy them. And he has the biggest featherduster worms that I ever saw at LFS. (I bought 2 of em!
)
an example that he gave was his firefish, out of 100 that he got, he could probably end up selling just 20-30 because all the others are hard to feed and die. Indeed I've seen him feed his firefish and nag aagawan pa sa dropped pellets. I personally have 5 firefish in my tank and only these few days lang that I saw 2 of em actually snatch pellets (have them for almost 3 weeks now)
