I may be in the Chicago area in 2 weeks and I wanted to see if there are any good/interesting fish stores worth visiting. I am sure there are a few but what are their names and where are they located? I am relying on the members of this forum to help me out since I have little knowledge of the Chicago area. Thanks in advance.
 
I am going to be heading to the airport to pick up my brother's girlfriend and I'm not sure whether it's O'Hare or Midway so I am looking for something in the general area. I guess I could find out which airport it is so I have a better idea of where I can go beforehand. I am looking to buy some interesting/unique fish (freshwater) for my new 125 that I will have setup up. I was hoping that someone would know of a place that had something like that or just some nice quality fish in general. I am probably going to get 5-6 discus eventually along with a pair of angels (I'm aware of the theory that they shouldn't be kept together due to parasites that are harmful to one another), 1-3 pairs/trios of some apisto specie(s) and either one large school of neons (I'd like 36 or so of them) or a smaller school of neons (24 maybe) and another type of schooling fish (12-18 of them depending on size) to accompany my 9 GBR's (6 adult 3 juvenile...may be getting rid of 3 or so of them or putting them in my 10 gallon), 2 ottos, female BN pleco (may be getting rid of her as well) and my 7 glowlight tetras (may be getting rid of all of these or making them part of the smaller school that I plan on).

I just thought that if I happened to see some interesting fish I might change my mind on my stocking list and I also thought if I DID happen to see some really nice quality discus and or angels I would pick up some and bring them back with me.
