Mohaynow Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 my favorites are west side aquarium, rose city aquarium, and upscales. I think its a bit of a drag to go into a shop and have to listen to the owner gripe about competition. I've been to the 3 listed shops and have never heard any complaints about the "other shops" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My favorites are: In the Southeast: Rosecity TCM aquatics Westside: Westside great selection of sps Vancouver: OIAB- great improvements in the shop under new ownership Gresham: Davy Jones-does nice stands and acrylic work Northeast: Seahorse-usually has a good selection of fish and they always do well for me If you make it to Salem Garrett at Premium Aquairum is worth the trip We are so lucky to have so many shops. These are the ones that I frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
