As I'm sure many of you are aware, Dale and Chris (Fantastic Fins) parted ways awhile back. Chris is now opening his own store called Fishy Business, and will be open the first week in September.
He's located at 21023 Farmington Rd Livonia, Mi
This is about a 1/4 mile North of 8 Mile Rd on the West side (in the same plaza as Little Caesar's).
He's excited to be opening a new place, and looks forward to seeing familiar faces, along with some new ones!

Coincident or do they believe it's good luck operating near a Little Caesars .
-
I'm pretty sure it had everything to do with a nice space in a good location with reasonable rent. Little Caesars was just a bonus. :)
-
I'm pretty excited, that is about 1 mile from my apartment.
-
Anyone know what day Chris opens his new store ?
-
The doors will be open September 14th.
-
Thanks
-
New store is always a positive for we hobbyists. Is FF remaining open in the wake of the launching of this new store? Hope the parting was amicable. I've announced the opening on the Windsor Cichlid and Catfish Group forum and Facebook group. Hope some of we Ontarians can give him some business.

Fantastic Fins is still open.
-
I drove past the location on the way to work this afternoon and didn't notice the store yet. Is the opening delayed?

Yes, I believe October 1st.
-
They're open, their sign hasn't come in yet. They're to the right of Little Caesars in the plaza (there's a sign with Asian characters above the storefront at this point)
-
Oh ok. I will stop in one of the next two days and check it out.
-
The store has a sign in the window stating the grand opening will be September 21st, for anyone wondering. Just pulled in to check it out.
-
How is the store, I'm going in a couple of hours to check it out
-
Chris texted me last week to say he was open for business. Going to try and check it out this week.
-
They are open 12-8. The phone number is 1-248-893-7892. Very clean store. It's a new store with a lot more tanks to fill. I like it
-
I think the store is coming along very nicely. Super clean look and there is going to be lots of tanks.
Chris was very personable. He is willing to check his suppliers availability on the spot and order anything you want.
I plan on stopping in regularly and seeing what's new.
-
The store is still in the process of being fully stocked, but all (except the plants/display) tanks are up and running. And the stock that is in is a good start with some hard to find fish. I was in Friday and after looking for a Syno. brichardi for the last couple of months I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had one in stock already. Its definitely worth checking out, and I look forward to seeing it when all the tanks are fully stocked.
-
As I mentioned on Facebook I highly recommend everyone, everyone check the new place out.
This place promises to be....not Fabulous...not Fantastic...but INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!

Stopped in today to pick up a couple Syno Lucipinnis that Chris was so nice as to order for me. Great guy, great store - check it out!
-
I stopped by today to look around. Everyone was really friendly,
EXCEPT this guy. He told me to get off his lawn!
lol
-
Stopped in yesterday evening and the tanks are really filling up with some very cool fish!!!!
-
Well worth the trip. Lots of cool fish, he has a nice pair of Discus. They had eggs and were developing. I got some fish ordered and they are doing well.
-
I stopped in yesterday. Every time I've come in, Chris has new and interesting stock. It's been interesting to watch the progression as he adds/fills tanks and adds dry goods. At the rate he's going, this place is going to be filled to the brim with cool stuff.
-
I stopped by tonight - west side of Farmington Rd, just north of 8 mile, and as the opening post said - look for Little Caesars!
I was really impressed. The store isn't even completely filled in yet with tanks, but there was a huge variety of fish! I spent close to an hour looking around at all they had. It should only get better yet.
Left with a some otos and more cardinal tetras for the planted tank, plus finally decided to finally pick up a Mastacembelus erythrotaenia that I'd been thinking about for close to a year now.
That said, they also had tons of cichlids too! I managed to resist a number of neat cichlids and plecos for now, but I'm sure I'll be back.
-
Chris has a table near the door wih some misc fish stuff. It's free for little kids or people on a tight budget for their aqaurium. I dropped out extra air pumps that I didn't need anymore. I thought the table was a really good idea.
-
stopped in several times already.
first impression: very clean!! lots of tanks and good mix of fish. very friendly and knowledgeable staff
seeing all the nice discus has really made me consider starting a south American tank.
look forward to meeting chris, very happy the new store is open
-
Picked up two Royal Plecos today from Chris today The biggest one has been very active right out of the bag.
-
This is THE fish store that I frequent. It's got a lot of fun stuff to look at and plenty of stuff to buy. Clean and nice. Everytime I go there something has improved since my last visit.
