I was wondering where you guys find your aquariums/tanks.

I want some big fish like Oscars,Balla Sharks, and ID Sharks, but it seems petco has left me alone on this one.
 
Both petco and most petsmarts seem to have abandoned anything larger than 125 gallon tanks and even those are rare on very poorly built pressed board stands. Your best bet for big tanks is the used market...(e bay) and local papers. Some manufacturers of large tanks will ship by common carrier but this can be risky not to mention a tad on the expencive side. Most LFS's however can order a lot larger tanks than they have on hand and your only shipping problem is getting them home.
 
Mmm I`ll try ebay and local papers.... I had a 90 gallon tank delivered to me once, but it was broken when I opened it..

Now its hard to get my parents to buy me a new one.
 
Yeah, funny most of the fish they sell at chain pet stores would not prefer a small 120 gallon.

I'd look in your phone directory and look up pet stores and fish stores (not to be confused with fish markets) and just call them and see what they got. Usually I know what I'm looking for and call in advanced (unless I want to go eye shopping).
 
What the closest fair sized city in driving distance to you? most citys have a classifyed section on line.

You'll need to select your fish carefully considering the fish you mentioned can grow to a potentially large size that most tanks cannot, unfortunately, accommodate on long-term basis.
