What is an LFS?

[Errol Groff]

I was reading this group last evening just to see what there was to
see. My wife and I owned a pet store for 10 years from 1976 to 1987
and prided ourselves on our fresh and salt warter selection and
quality.

Anyway, I came across several references to LFS and can't figure out
what it might mean. I GoogledLFS and got a number of hits but they
all used the term and I didn't find any explanation of what it meant.

Thanks for you answer! PS Salt water keeping has certainly changed
over the past years!

LSF = Local Fish Store (or shop)

Sal****er keeping has changed, but I think it's for the better, far
easier to keep marines nowadays with the knowledge and methods available.

Local Fish Shop I think. The store where you buy stuff anyway. To me LFS
sounds more like the shop you buy your take-a-way fish and chips from :))

p.s. "etc" means "et cetera" which is Latin for "and others" ;-)

What's LPS? I have read what it means but can't remember.

Sorry for not being more clear before. I spend my time mostly in a
couple of metalworking related groups and folks on those groups know
where I am and I know for the most part where theyare including the
guys in OZ.

LPS can also be Local Pet Store, but on fish forums people
use LFS.

And I was joking around saying that yesterday people will
be going to their Local Petrolim Store to get LP (propane)
for the grill :-)

I'm trying to learn all the American state abbreviations as I see them
written (just for something to do). Gets a little cold up there, eh.

I'm in south east Qld, Oz - a tiny town that won't be on most maps :)
