thanks for the list, Ben! Ive been searching for a decent place to buy plants besides Capitol ^_~

Ooh.. I live in El Dorado Hills too. Its such a small world. Do you go to ORHS (if youre ok with me asking)?

Wow. I've been in Sac about a year and a half, and I didn't know there were so many places. I've been to O Street Aquarium and Capitol Aquarium, and that's it. I'll have to check those other places out, too. I'm still cycling my tank at the moment, so it's nice to visit as many stores as possible to see what they are stocking so I can get some ideas.

Update: AquaWorld Aquarium in Carmichael has gone out of business.

Too bad, I loved that store.
There is a new store there, but I didn't go check it out yet to see if it is any good.

By the way...
Anyone willing to take a Spotted Puffer Fish?

That add is not mine, but I thought maybe someone here might be interested.

Exotic Aquarium has reopened in a new location. I will post more details once i get the exact address. supposedly its pretty big.

capital has lost my business after trying to charge me $8 for 3 neon tetras..

There is a new store 10k sq. feet off of power inn rd. It's owned by the O st. guys. O st disappointed me when I went in there this past weekend. There were multiple tanks with dead fish in them. They also had Amano shrimp labeled incorrectly. O st used to be a pretty good place, but like all good things the quality seem to be coming to a end. Maybe they are investing all of their time in to the new store.

There is also a new store in the Howe Bout Arden shopping center, I have only been in it once so I can't comment much on it. Seemed a bit more "retail" to me than the corner fish store though.

Kinda sad that this section is dead.. I know there has to be more Californians on AA
