How is the Cichlid livestock selection at this place ? I've never been there but I was thinking of maybe going to a new shop this evening that I have never been to before rather than the same 2-3 I usually go to, and this one is a little bit of a drive for me but not all that far.

good selection but a little high on prices IMO

I was just there a couple hours ago.  :-)  The most local store for me.

They an OK selection.  Better than some, worse than others.  It's a nice store.  About a dozen tanks of Africans..
Nothing rare and usually the same fish everything I go.

Worth checking out if you are in the area.

They carry the standard cichlid's, not to many rare Cichlids.  They just expanded and they have a very good selection of fish supplies.  If you are looking to go to a place that has a wide selection of cichlids, I would highly recommend Bruce;s Pond Shop (AKA Aquatic Treasures).  He carries a very good selection of all Cichlids...

I was at Kees last night and I have to say I was pretty disappointed.
The big display tanks looked great, but there were a lot of dead fish in the for sale tanks, both in the Fresh and Salt areas.
It was quite busy, so that might have been a factor, but some of the corpses didn't look too fresh.
I like this store a lot so I'll probably check them out again, but I was quite put off by what I was seeing.

Nice clean , IMO the best put together LFS in the south east side . Pricing$ is on the higher side for most things but we are only talking dollars on shelf product , A little high in the fish rooms ...: But like I stated above NOBODY has a nicer showroom or square footage as Key's and I do not mind paying 10-20$ more per already pricy fish because the quality is more important to me than the quantity , That is JMO GOOD JOB KEY;s
