I envy you iz513. My LFS carry things like rasboras, common aquarium swordtails and guppies, a few platies some angels and so on. Most of them don't even have an employee who could identify a butterfly goodeid, one of the most common goodeid there is. They have never seen Heterandria formosa or Limia vitatta. Even the swordtails do not include wild type X helleri but they would probably recognize them as swordtails, they just would consider them poor quality for the lack of fancy features. These are all very common livebearers in the hobby but not in the LFS.
