Title: yet another fish store closing it's doors :( the aquarium shop
Post by: peacock mantis on April 14, 2015, 11:01:30 AM: well looks like after 33 years in business the aquarium shop is closing it's doors, soo sad to see soo many stores out of business, seems like they can't compete with the big chains like petsmart and petco, and not to mention all the aquarium stuff you can get and livestock on the internet for a lot cheaper then lfs, just sad to see a lot of them close it's doors

The only time they have any good fish is right after their order comes in. So, I doubt they have ordered anything new lately.

Thanks for the heads up, Ken. Saved me a trip! :)
