Pier is a far better choice, veyr nice polite staff good friends with them all up there had a few nice fish from them in the past including my Asterophysus batrachus.schismy007 wrote:That's silly. I think I might have told them to stuff their £5 bag! If I know I'm going to a LFS, I take this plastic container that I use for transporting fish, especially as I'm most concerned with puffers, and as you well know, they can bite through a bag.
I would have been insulted if they had told me I needed to pay for a decent bag to put the expensive fish I'd just bought in. That's a bit greedy if you ask me.
I've heard alot of hype about BAS, and so I've wanted to go, but there would have to be a VERY good reason for us to travel so far. I've been tempted by Pier too.
BAS is a good shop a large number of tanks but the marine section is definatly the best. The rest seems to look very old, the tanks are bare and in all honest fish are good but some seem a little underweight. They get some rare bits in and are very fairly priced had a few nice bits of interest in before such as tigrinus cats, sturgeon shovelnose, rarer shrimps, rare cats, wild caught central americans.... i can keep going on lol. But Pier is certainly the best of the two
