I just stopped by yesterday.
I never went to the store before then, so I'm not making comparison to anything prior, only to other stores in the area. Will be interesting to see where things are at in six months.
My observations -
Quite a few flowerhorns. Maybe 6-10 flowerhorn tanks out of 70-80 freshwater tanks at the moment?
Decent number of African cichlids, maybe 1/3 of the tanks and probably 3/4 of the cichlid tanks.
A few CA/SA cichlids, which are my current focus. But mostly the ones you'd see a lot of places - texas blues and the like.
A few rarer species, like African tiger fish and rhom piranha...but very expensive for those, as expected. Some nice larger specimens of three or four synodontis species. I can't recall the rest at the moment.
Prices seemed high on some and average on others, like any store. Example: ~3.5" neon red jewels for $15 ea. Larger specimens, but even so, a bit pricey. On the other hand, some of the tetras and 'community' type fish were cheaper than several of the other stores in the area, e.g. $2.50 when other stores would sell for $3-3.50. So, it all depends what you're looking for.
The filters/dry goods aisle was somewhat haphazard/limited selection, but one nice feature was several boxes of generic filter pads for Marineland and Tetra filters, if you don't want to bother with making your own. As well as other helpful tools like bags of filter floss or other components.
Worth stopping by to check it out if you're in the area. I would not currently recommend a long drive just to visit.
