As the title says down in Florida with the family playing with Mickey Mouse, need some must see fish stores to visit. African Cichlids are my thing and thanks in advance for the info.
 
I'm not sure about the Orlando area but if you can swing a trip over to Daytona, I'd check out Daytona Aquarium....Here is their website cichlidexpress.com
 
I live in Davenport, just south of Orlando and unfortunately your options are far and limited. My LFS of choice is Fishy Business up in Longwood. Only other one I have been to is Nolan's down in Lakeland and I would avoid it as they charge 2-3 times the amount of most other stores for the same quality fish. There is another in east Orlando (not sure of the name), but its very hard to get to with toll roads and 30+ stop lights. May be a shorter distance, but is a longer drive time.

There are not many quality stores in the Orlando area. Fishy Business has fair prices and good quality, but even I will admit their customer service is not top notch. Half the time I get a young guy who is bright and energetic. His knowledge is decent and he is eager to please, so those times are good. The other half I get either the other middle aged worker who is always negative looking and doesn't say hardly a word, or I get the owner, who is a grouchy old man. Those times are just okay. They don't go out of their way to make me happy, but they don't try to piss you off either. The great part for me is their trade in credit. They will give you 50% of the value of the fish as they will price it. I just did an even trade of 4 turquoise severums for 2 super red severums, so I think I got the better end of the deal. :)

Wow 50% trade in that is good, but my schedule down here is filling up fast. All the family down here is a real pain
