OC - oceanblue was great but now its all africans.. from time to time theres something good but ive been less and less impressed with each visit..
OC - 405 almost always has a good selection and each tank is on its own filtration which is a huge selling point IMO... the feeders are always top notch ive yet to get a bad/diseased batch
OC - tongs in FW also almost always has a good selection however all the tanks are filtered together so if one fish has something all the fish have it.. this isint a big deal since all new fish spend time in the Qtank but its a pain in the ass having to check over every single tank for a heads-up of what you might need to watch for...
OC - DDs is nice.. good selection most of the time
IE - petworld in san bernardino almost always has a nice selection and sometimes some great prices.. however there is almost always a pile of dead fish in each tank and obvious sick/diseased fish
IE - fish fantasy in riverside is alright.. not a whole heck of a lot going on the last few months... the owners got a nice rack which is nice....
IE - theres a small place in ontario called thongs that usuially has a nice selection but since the economy tanked.. like most small hole in the wall stores theres not a huge selection of "rare" fish..
IE - im only mentioning global aquatics because of the size of the place... its friggin huge.. however the prices are way high and the selection of fish is also turning into nothing but africans.. it use to be a nice place to pick up used tanks and such but the prices were so high the last few times i went that ive stoped going...
theres a few more places but i dont want to type about this anymore
