Aubrey Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'm writing this introduction post mostly to see how well my area is represented on this forum. So I'm from North West Arkansas, but the Ozarks sprawls across southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, and Just a tiny bit of Kansas. Geography lesson aside, I have been in the hobby for around three years and like to keep Neocaridina shrimp and "easy" fish. I currently have 3 active tanks: a 12g long, a 20g long, and a 5g portrait as well several various vases and bowls with plants. I have some pygmy corys, bristlenose plecos, and rice fish. Anyway I'm glad to be a part of this community and was curious if anyone might actually be from my community or close by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 @quirkylemon103 I couldn't tell you. I live a little over an hour from the Fayetteville/Rogers area and don't make many trips that way. Although when over there I really enjoy going to Worlds Under Water. Do you know of any other LFS in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 no besides the whole pet which isn't really a lfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 do you know where to get guppy grass? i don't want to order it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 @quirkylemon103 I usually drive up to Springfield, Mo. it's about the same distance from me as Rogers. They have at least two LFS and nearly a dozen chain stores that sell fish and some plants. There is also a Facebook group that has a couple small swaps a years called Ozarks Aquarium Society based up there. You might ask on there about guppy grass if it's worth the drive for you.

Edwards Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I would second quirkylemon: aquapets is more a one man operation (little cramped and 'seasoned tanks') but they are going to have more variety than you're going to find a a big box pet store. Worlds underwater is more upscale however their prices are higher. Edited December 9, 2020 by Edwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I've seen his puffer and they do look fun. I dont have any insights about puffers. I just started with my first tank in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
