Cant help you as I'm from Melb. but there is a massive difference between best and best value. There are LFS in VIC that have I have heard have poor reputations for fish surviving long after they're brought home. I know people who have different store for different items. My advice is to jump in the car and LFS crawl. See the fish, ask to see them feed, take note of the stores facilities, ask heaps of questions. That way you not only decide for yourself but see and hear a little more. 90% of LFS will put fish on hold for you, just be nice enough to let the LFS know to take them off hold if your not gonna buy them. Happy Hunting.
