Wisconsin...

The Fish Factory - This place has been around for some time. located on 92nd and oklahoma.

The Good:
The Staff was very friendly, helpful, eager to help, and knowledgeable.
This is were I ended up buying all my equipment.
They have a flip a coin thursday where u get 15% off your fish purchase. Flip a coin and call it right and save an additional 15% off.
48 hr guarantee on saltwater fish. w/ 50% replacement.
Huge selection of freshwater fish.
Tanks clean

The downside. (its not ness. a bad thing)
Limited saltwater fish selection. They go quick
Pricey. - Small family run place and they dont have the buying power of your large corporate places like pet co.

Aquatics Unlimited: Hyw 100.

Large selection of both freshwater and saltwater fish.
Pond supplys
Prices seem about average.
Staff - depends. I've talked to some that were very helpful and others that seemed like i was bothering them.
Clean tanks

Petco - Racine Hwy 11

Staff - willing to help but limited knowledge. Didnt know what a green chromis was, just reconized as a Misc Damsel.

Tanks clean
Limited selection of saltwater fish
