Good freshwater stores in N, NE Portland?

[darrellw]

It seems that all of the freshwater stores in Vancouver are gone, except for the likes of Petco/Petsmart. My daughter would like a couple of new fish for her freshwater aquarium, are there any good freshwater shops in North or Northeast Portland?

The Wet Spot, in Hollywood. I haven't done FW in years but every time I go in there I get the urge to start a tank.

+1 for The Wet Spot... they have lots of common and exotic fishes in there. I bought my 2 stingrays from them and are healthy and eating.

+3 for the Wet Spot. Just my opinion the best freshwater shop in this area.

Cayes is in southeast on division.

 

I have always gone there for there saltwater, but their freshwater selection is bigger.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been to The Wet Spot, and agree it is great. I was just hoping to find somewhere closer. Probably only going to get a couple of platys or something. But Petco/Petsmart don't even seem to be able to keep those healthy.

The neighborhood pet store has been crushed the same way the neighborhood bookstore and the neighborhood hardware store have. So it goes :(

For fresh water and cichlids I used to frequent CB's Tropical on 181st and Burnside and Cayes on SE 140th and Division-both within 5 minutes of each other plus a Petco-that does well with their freshwater their on like Se 155th and Division

 

Take the 181st exit of I-84, you could make that loop and get back on 205 at Division-the freshwater circuit-LOL

Does Nick at Rose City still have any freshwater? Am out of the hobby so have not been in there in a while.

Yep. Still has FW stuff. SE Powell area.

if you are ever up towards the longview area, i could probably throw a couple of fish your way. there are 12 or 13 fresh tanks in my house to pick out of.

Nick at RoseCity has a pretty good selection, an he's a great guy to deal with on top of it.
