Title: Best stores on the East Side
Post by: Patrick on February 08, 2013, 11:47:51 AM: Hi all,

Typically I hit three stores, all on Gratiot. They are Sea World, Tropical Treasures, and Oceans and Seas. Am I missing any good ones that I do not know about?

Thanks.

If you stop in a greenwoods, they have fish but hardly any dry good's.

Also anchor Bay aquarium in New Baltimore.

I was just in Ocean and seas 2 days ago and they had a nice assortment of smaller cichlids

I like Kee's too. I would have to consider that my most local store. Being right on the way home from work really helps too.

http://www.louspetshop.com/ - they're in Grosse Pointe Woods. I've never been out that way since every time I called about a certain fish I wanted they didn't carry or were out of it.

Oh damn... forgot all about Lou's !!!! I used to go there when I was a little kid and lived in SCS.

Brings back some memories. So glad to see they are still open!

Although I agree those are a couple of the best stores they are not on the east side.
