Mark,
Finally found my collection of fish store business cards.

Buffalo New York area.

The Fish Place
141 Robinson Road
N. Tonawanda, NY 14120
716-693-4411

This is the best fish shop I have ever been to. If it was three hours from
my house instead of seven hours I would be there once a month.They have
fresh and salt and a large cichlid section.They retail out of the upstairs
and have a wholesale operation in the basement.Prices are moderate. It's
normal to find 12-15 kinds of apisto's and the same with cory's.Lots of
unusual stuff.And show them a aquarium club membership card and you'll get
10% off your fish purchase.If you get the right fish catcher they are very
good at sexing fish for you. ( I'm Not telling)

Pets Plus
421 West Avenue
Lockport, NY 14094
716-433-0480

After driving seven hours to go to The Fish Place I gotta stop here too as
it's about 15 miles further.This is a full service pet shop with fresh and
salt and a large herp/reptile section . They have more large snakes than I
have ever seen in a store.Prices are moderate with a good selection of all
kinds of fish. As with any shop timing is everything.

Cleveland Ohio area

RMS Aquaculture
6629 Engle Rd. Unit 108
Middleburg Heights, OH 44130
216-433-1340

RMS Aquaculture
15151 Pearl Rd.
Strongsville,OH 44136
440-572-3474

RMS Aqaculture
7484 Broadview Rd.
Parms, OH 44134
216-901-8188

RMS Aquaculture
4927 Robinhood Dr.
Willoughby,OH 44094
440-975-9090

The Middleburg Hts store is the one to go to if you can only go to one store
of the four.It's set up kind of warehouse style with probably 200 tanks or
so.I have gotten some really good buys here over the years I have shopped
here, a couple kinds of blue-eyes for $1.19 and Lampeyes for $.99.No fish
sexers here but most of the catchers are competent.Good place to find
unusual fish.

Aquarium Adventure
4808 Ridge Rd.
Brooklyn,OH 44144
216-741-9484

A very pretty store. The tanks are all aquascaped . I find prices to be a
little high, but they do support the OCA Extravaganza every year and usually
have a discount coupon available at the event. They carry fresh and salt.

Two Turtles Pet Center
Highland Square
760 W. Market
Akron, OH 44303
330-374-6765

Kind of an old time pet shop. Have good selection of bread and butter stuff
but have found unusual stuff on occasion.Always worth a stop if I'm in the
area.Has small saltwater selection.

Wet Pets Plus
6989 Whipple Ave N.W.
N. Canton, OH 44720
???-966-8265

Another old time pet store. Good selection of bread and butter stuff and
good selection of Cichlids.Knowledgable staff.Go there
every year when I'm in area for Extravaganza.

more later.
Jim
