Just found out that the owners of Royal Tropical Fish in Royal Oak are related to the owners of Highland Tropical Fish, (Doo Makes sense now after seeing the names). I would put both locations up as the top five in the area.  Bruce's Pond Shop, the Aquarium Shop and Mody Dicks as the others. I have been to them all over the past 3 months. These 5 stick out as the cream of the crop.

Family relations, yes. Business affiliation, no.
Both are not only great stores but both owners are great people.

They helped me setup my office tank.  They were helpful with picking out a nice mix of peacocks and haps.  All the fish were in good shape with no losses (which I think is good for a new tank).

I've been to a large number of fish stores in the past few weeks and Highland Tropical tops the list. Friendly, Knowledgeable, Clean and Well Stocked.

x2 or x20 on Bob. Dude knows his cichlids. It's a bit of a journey for me, but I always stop if passing by while they are open. I picked up some siamese algae eaters a few weeks ago and they are doing great.

I stopped by this store and thought it was a very good place. I ended up buying seven cichlids.
 Took the extrea time to pack them up for the long ride home.
 I live 45 minutes away. Good people and very helpful.
