Some LFS background info
Awana Pets: While not a very large store compared to most, the selections include mostly oddballs. The owner of the shop has some pretty good hook-ups so if there are any oddballs or hard-to-finds you may want while in town, give him a call in advance. Chances are, he can have it waiting for you when you come to SA. His prices are some of the best around as well.
Alamo Aquatics: is happy to offer some discounts to MFK members for the 2nd or 3rd of June. Alamo Aquatics has a great selection of freshwater and marine fish, aquatic and reptile supplies, all kinds of African and SA cichlids, arowana, and much more. They have a very large 10' tank with a huge green moray on display. They also have a large selection of reptiles. I have bought several specimens from the before and the service was very nice as well.
