Are there any good LFS in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area that are worth visiting while I'm done there this week.
Thanks, Josh

you should try out Big Al's in Tamarac(in the Ft.Laudy area), its more like a zoo of fishes than a fish store to me. They also carry the cheapest filters in the tri-county area because all the LFS have pretty high markups 
Barrier Reef in Boca Raton. Prices are a little high but every now and then you can find some good stuff. Plus, if you are going from Ft.Lauderdale it isn't too far North and it is less than 5 minutes off the interstate (only 2 roads. Head East on Glades, then left on 2nd/Boca Raton Blvd.). If it's saltwater fish your looking for, there is a shop called JAWS right in Ft. Laudy on the left if you head East after getting off the interstate at the Broward exit. I don't remember what their freshwater selection looked like. Only went in a few times.
Barrier Reef is my LFS, and I agree that it's a good one, and not cheap . . . they have FW and SW, and they typically have a decent selection of cichlids (Americans and Africans) . . .
some of the best fish (if not the best prices) are the ones that they get in trade from customers; if they would only price them a little better, it would be ideal
another place I like is Fish's Paradise, in Hollywood; it's right off I-95 in Hallandale, so very convenient location . . . don't be fooled by the outside (just a box), it's chock full of great fish on the inside

Thanks guys and/or girls. I'll have to check some of those out.
Nothing in particular but if I see something I like I might bring it home. I'm mostly into larger SA cichlids like Cichla, Crenicichla, Caquetaia, etc. Maybe some oddball cats. Heck I don't know what else. Just oddball SA fish I guess.
