Poll do you buy your livestock locally or online? - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

Punkymom · 06-24-2004, 10:29 PM

I used to buy my fish from PetSmart...but then I found a little petshop in Tyrone...They take such good care of their fish! It's a fairly new place, but they have a pretty nice selection and they can pretty much special order anything for you! I make a trip out there just about every week because I love looking around and the owners are super nice!

Everything that is in my tank came from a [acronym:f3192023f2="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:f3192023f2] called "Q's Fish School" I don't go anywhere else because the owner of the store handpicks all of his coral and fish to make sure they are healthy.

aaahhhh I can't get the pick thing to work here, and I can't edit to get rid of the mess up either.....

The petstores! Internet shipping is expensive and you can't see what the fish will look like exactly. I go to petsmart and pesupermarket. I also rarely go to "the Fish Store And More" in buckhead since its like an hour away from me. Theres this one cool fishstore but I don't know the name, but they have a macaw and some rare fish.

So far [acronym:0724d8061a="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:0724d8061a] but I'm probably going to order my plants online, since there's not much local that looks worthwhile.

Local fish store so far.

justdigity · 04-02-2008, 01:58 AM

There is Atlantis Aquarium in Marietta. The address is 3125 Roswell Rd. These guys represent the difference between fish stores and pet stores. Yes, they are the one with the macaw. They are a little on the expensive side but you will appreciate their quality and their quantity. Salt, brackish,freshwater and plants. they have a little bit of everything. Community, semi, or aggressive. My tank is aggressive so there are not many stores that cater to me unless I go online but not these guys. Ever been to your lfs and saw three different kinds of pike? Or what fish store is not sold out of electric blue dempseys?When you first walk in you'll see a 400 gallon african cichlid(I forget which lake)tank about seven feet tall and about 18" deep-so cool. It's definitely worth a visit. Just prepare to be warm because the temp inside get uncomfy after20 mins. of browsing.

I usually buy fish from local stores but order supplies online. I've been afraid to try online livestock after my FW shrimp problem.
