Stella Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 We have a pretty good one about an hour away from us. We live in a rural area so we have to go to Nashville to find a fish store I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umfalcon Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 @StellaI used to go to MTSU and would run up to Aquatic Critter fairly frequently. I can't say enough good things about that store. They are an amazing local fish store. The quality of advice, the quality of care they give to the fish, the massive selection...I could go on and on...Have you been there recently?

Stella Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) @umfalcon It's been about a month since I've been. I was having tank issues, so I couldn't add anything new. I'm hoping to get to go down this weekend though. Unfortunately the last of my betta sorority passed this week, and I'm going to scrap my tank and get a new setup.

Scott P. Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I have two chain stores in town, five minute drive at the most. About 15 miles up the road is the only locally owned store left close by. The one up the road is decent but not great at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umfalcon Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 @StellaI hope you can make it to the store. While Nashville getting so big has its drawbacks, primarily in the cost of housing, the growing population hopefully means many more customers for Aquatic Critter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Brown Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) There are tons of LFS stores in Seattle, and the aquarium Coop is only about half an hour from me. I actually do almost all of my fish shopping at the Coop. Another good one is called "The Fish Store" some people say that the tanks there are gross, but in my experience its just algae. They probably have the largest selection of both fresh and saltwater fish I have ever seen. Edited July 9, 2021 by Dwayne Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I also shop at Aquatic Critter. It is a great lfs. I've been shopping there approximately 20 years. I live 25 miles away in a rural Nashville town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorsalfin Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) My LFS is about 30mins away. Nice store and has a good range of tanks and stands. Food is good they stock NLS, Ocean Free, Tropical and Hikari so can't go wrong with either choice. Hardware is limited and usually cheaper brands but don't blame them their products get the job done and it probably has a low turnover. The main focus of the fish are African and large American cichlids but they keep your stock standard community fish also.
