Where do you Ohioans go to get fish, supplies, or anything else aquarium related. Ill start off by saying Aquarium Adventure on Sawmill road.

I started my first tank with AA and have bought all of my plants and some of the deco from there. Other places have deco and accessories way cheaper though; Walmart, Meijers, even the Anderson's store which coincidentally is right behind AA.

Most of my fish, however, have come from Jack's Pets at Mill Run. Shorter drive for me and they have a very good selection. Watch the salesperson carefully though; I wouldn't say they're all natural fish-handlers there; just my opinion tho. Jack's stores are found around much of Ohio, for those who aren't in the Columbus area.

Went to Petsmart yesterday; their food stock seems to be at a good price. Fish selection was disappointing. Have to wonder whether these places got picked over at Xmas time.

My 10-gallon tank had finished cycling this week, so I planned to go out on Saturday and get a few new fish. The Jack's near me seems a bit picked over now, and I saw a couple of dead ones. So I went to AA and it was PACKED. Turns out I picked the first day of their annual fish sale to show up. LOL.

Good deals though (50% off all fish), in fact I may have to stop over there and pick up an extra few today.
