I went to check out 405 tropical today...saw some baby arows, an alligator gar, and some cool sturgeons. The top three fish places I have checked out are the following: ocean blue, D-D fish-pets, and 405

Anyone know a good shop for cheap anubias and driftwood im gonna need alot of this stuff in a couple of months and trying to find some great deals.

If you're going to need it in a couple of months then Strictly Fish in Lakewood is the place. They're having another one of their big sales in July. Pretty much 25% off all live plants and dry goods including drift wood! I've bought anubias from there along with driftwood on previous sales, great deal with the discounts!

ArmanS,

Try Atlantic Tropical Aquarium for saltwater fish, you'll be amazed at the prices! A small clown trigger is/was about $30 a few months ago.

Strictly fish had a baby clown trigger for $69 dollars a week or two ago. Even with 25% off, your still looking at about $52!

Atlantic Tropical Aquarium is on Pioneer Bl and 183rd street in Cerritos! They are not very far from Strictly fish and worth the trip.

Perhaps why Atlantic has such great prices is because they don't pay their suppliers...... they have been banned by several wholesalers here in cali.......

You're kidding me right? ATA was the biggest dive, they sure advertise a lot but their hole in the wall shop if filled with crap. I went once and will never again, bait and switch.
