I’m heading into northern VA (Leesburg area) in a couple of hours to drop off my nephew. I’d like to make use of being down there - does anyone have any good recommendations for fish stores in the area? I’m looking for something that sells more than the usual fare, maybe oddball characins, toothy fish, etc.

Is there anything in the area worth going to? I only really know of Beltway Aquarium in Waldorf, so as far as I know, there isn’t a huge selection of oddball stores in driving distance. Hopefully I’m wrong and places have popped up over the years since I’ve left the area.
 
Beltway Aquarium is the only shop I go to since I live a few miles away, and I visit rarely since their stock is usually low quality inn my opinion. Quantum Reefs in Springfield and Centerville Aquarium. These are the 2 in NOVA that I'm aware of, never been to either though. Some of the better shops are in northern MD.

Centreville aquarium is a nice shop, probably closest to leesburg of any places.

Quantum reefs is a cool little shop, guy that runs it is great and pretty knowledgable though his prices are a little high imo. they are reef oriented but have recently expanded their freshwater section.

I'm from MD myself. What are some of the better ones in Northern MD? I'm only really familiar with House of Tropicals in Ferndale.

Almost forgot, chicos natural pet market is in lincolnia/annandale area. Its a cool little shop that sometimes has some different stuff. I seem to remember them having some unique west african cichlids last i was there.
