Thank you soulFish that is exactly what I needed to know!
It narrows down 2 places which would take precious fish viewing time from my day.

I could probably narrow down further from your reviews but I think I'm going to take the opp. to just go everywhere. This way I can form my own oppinions and just get a general idea of what's out there.

I went to Vallejo Aqaurium today. Great store. Fresh water collection was impressive. Good salt selection too, just not as good. Owner seems to be still learning about fish but is very friendly and helpful. I'm really happy that I found out about this store. It's just down the street from my house!

Thanks Soul!
