Travelling to TN - Aquarium Advice

JustOneMore20 · 02-11-2008, 12:11 PM

I will be going to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN in 2 weeks and I was wondering if there were any good LFS to check out on the way back (I live in Bham, AL). I'll be passing near Chattanooga on I-24 and then through Knoxville on I-40 and was wondering if there were any around that area, but close to the interstates (so I don't get lost).

Anything I should check out?

I'm looking to buy some fish, which include Apistos, Rummynose tetras, Ember tetras, and possibly Cories. I know those are pretty common in some areas, but not so much around here (Bham). We don't have a good selection here.

Thanks!

PM were all you will be passing through, if you pass through middle TN I might have a recommendations, if not I will look later (when I have more time) to see what I can find. There is a pretty neat aquarium in Pigeon Forge, I have gone up there every year for the past three years, its call the Ripley's Believe it or not Aquarium.

Thanks for the link Roka.

I have a couple names, 1 in Chattanooga and 1 in Knoxville that I might check out.

I was more so wanting people's opinion on what they thought was the best in the area to visit, since I obviously can't go to all of them.

Sure thing! I went to the Rippley's aquarium in Myrtle Beach and it was pretty neat. I also went to college in Knoxville, but didn't have fish then so I am no help there.
