    So... a few of you have noticed that a PM sent to me in the past 2 days or so have not met with the usual prompt,Pet Stop responsce.... VERY sad to anounce,but I have terminated my employment with Pet Stop....no major ruckus,just time that I leave the LFS/Aquatics industry for the corporate world(SAD,I know....) - You might even go as far to call me a "sell out" ...lol.(I wont even come over and criticise you Vallis...lol)

    All I can say is that after many years (and year,and years....) of working at Koi shops,LFS's etc - the past 3 months(@Pet Stop) have been THE most enjoyable in close to 2 decades of "slaving" away trying to teach people not to keep Goldfish in bowls,Guppies in cold water,Plecs as "Algea Eaters" and Bettas in small "cups" that I have ever had at a place that tries to provide you guys with the fish that keeps you fascinated...

    Not talking fish with Didi,@Moolis,"Marine" Shawn and the rest is going to be a drag....but with the spare cash I will be having,can tell all of you that it will be spent at this shop,where the owner,manager and rest of the staff knows what it is about...and even more,strive to please your needs to beyond your expectations....

    Must say thank you for all the advice and improving my education! It's been a pleasure getting to know you. I know you will be missed at Pet Stop and also by the customers. I've been going to Pet Stop for many years now and have always found the service brilliant. Also the knowledge base there just keeps growing. You have definitely introduced me to the "deeper" walk with our hobby and probably unknown to you or Moolis and the rest of the staff, re-kindled the desire to learn more and push on with the journey of fish keeping! I was just about to give up on the hobby and again, thanks to you, I'm back in full swing! I hope you will still be visiting lots. Barry.
