Dont forget to brush!! πŸͺ₯🦷
.. your plants' teeth?? πŸ€”

Just another oddity you can find at The Local Fish Store! Come see our plants with teeth among hundreds of others in our tropical greenhouse! Alongside our vivarium and aquarium plants, we also carry a wide selection of rare plants that you can't find at your typical greenhouse!

We've got a pretty good sized import order coming in this summer. Some really crazy carnivorous pitcher plants are expected, many of which sold out from the vendor in minutes- but we managed to swipe a few anyway. If you're into rare exotic plants- this order has your name on it! Pre-orders take 25% off! Pictures are just a tiny sample of over 60 plants expected.

Dont forget, we also have a large amount of rare and hard to find aroids, carnivorous plants, and other tropical houseplants already in stock and ready to go!

Impending bad review πŸ™„

Woman comes in to return a filter she used for a week- needed it in a pinch, in that time received a new filter purchased online. Literally saving $6, costing me $60, and claimed our filter was faulty when tested as functional right in front of her.

Her biggest complaint is that Wilfred, our 15 year old good boy.. started throwing all types of insults at him for.... peeing outside our building(not in her way or anything but just where she could see it). Saying I have no right to keep him here, he should be muzzled and chained, I'm a psycho for letting him be out and treated with respect.. every nasty thing she could come up with. Conversation ends right there. Told her he has more of a right to be on MY property than she does and if you attack any member of my family, you are no longer welcome on it. Take your ill-gotten refund, get out of my store and don't come back. Society is too kind to people who never learned how to be civilized.
