Shadow Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hello- I live down south, but my daughter and son in law moved to Chicago. They're wanting to not risk the frigid winters shipping in and are wondering if anyone knows of good fish breeders, pages for breeders locally or respectable fish stores they could visit for nano fish amongst others. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Fish Den Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm not in Chicago, but follow a lot of local fish clubs on social media. I know that the Greater Chicago Cichlid Association has swap meets regularly, and from what I've seen it's all species. There is also the Chicago Livebearer Society, and they have meetings and other events as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've talked to some people locally who travel down to GCCA's events, and I would bet that's a great way to really get to know the local landscape. Their auctions and swap meets seem like a great way to pick up fish too, but I'm a secondhand source when it comes to that. I've seen some fish that reportedly came from such events, but haven't been there myself. https://www.gcca.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Can’t speak for the City of Chicago but north suburbs has Fish Planet in Deerfield and The Local Fish Store in Morton Grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
