Great store would have to think hard about a complaint...... to much fish stuff in the bathroom?  Love that store!(  I know last time I was there they said they were expanding have to go by and see it again soon

Was able to stop in during a little road trip on Saturday right when they opened.

I WISH this store was closer to me.  But, maybe it wouldn't be so good for the bank account.

Loved the store.  On the smaller side, but sure made use of the space.  As others have said, they are moving all the breeding to the store next door.  This will make some more room.

All kinds of unusual/rare fish.  Loved it.

It was probably a good thing that I still had a full day of driving ahead of me or I would have bought something.

All kinds of cool plecos. 

If you are able to swing by, definitely recommend it.

Owners (I only met one of the) who really do like their job.

Every time I go in I end up leaving with something I wasn't expecting to see, let alone buy. Today it was neolamprologus brevis "kitumba orange belly". I was able to grab a pair.

Anyway, they have great stock and are more worried about getting you something you are happy with, rather than selling you the most fish possible. If you haven't checked them out you should soon.

I've been reading the reviews of LFS's and this sure sounds like a great store.  It sounds like it's time for a road trip.

Sorry for a newbie question, but is it the general consensus this is the best store around?

Thanks and all the best !!!

IMO Yes

It's worth the trip, especially for freshwater.

I hadn't previously, due to no interest, but the last two times I checked out their saltwater and though small they have a decent selection of SW fish plus some corals/anemones/inverts for what I felt were fair prices.  Especially since their emphasis is more on the oddball/pleco/unique FW fish it seems.

Single best Location in the Metro Detroit area. Dale and Chris I have to view almost as Brothers. Always a great selection and always a great experience to go there.

Met severum keeper up at fins today to make a trade.  And as always I peaked around and I must say fins' stock is incredibly impressive this time of year.  Tons of discus in stock atleast 4 fish breeding in tank lots of large African breeders for very modest prices.  African tiger fish a few large flower horns,  a incredible school of red hooks,  stingrays, azul peacock bass incredibly rare,  and a ton more.  An of course there always fine selection of fancy plecos and large angel fish.  Thi time of year I'll be in thre atleast once a week.

I highly recommend stoping in for there holiday season the stock constantly changing and some stuff I haven't seen since last year.

Have they finished the expansion ?  I was in there maybe 4/5 months ago and someone told me they were expanding the store...I haven't been back since ...  I really need to swing by again....
