Best LFS - San Antonio?

[swhite7007]

I usually buy livestock online, but want to start shopping locally. What is the best LFS in San Antonio? I am particularly interested in inverts and fish.

Thanks.

Thats a question for the ages... here is the best answer..... there are several that have certain things that make them worth going to whether its customer service, great selection, what ever.. i do not have a "best but these are the front runners locally..... oh and in no particular order,,.

CB pets
Aquarium Designs
Aquatic Warehouse
Darby's Tropical

If i did not list one its because i don't go there for one reason or another!

major ditto on Mike's picks, I'd also like to add
Alamo Aquatics
Texas Tropical
Wolf Reef
Fin-addict......

Has anyone been to river city exotics by wolf reef? I am curious to know if it's worth going by!!!

I second Texreefer, though I must stay, I am absolutely partial to CB. They have always taken incredibly good care of me.

Whoa,, my bad,, wolf reef and finaddict... i did not mean to leave you out... i love you guys :blink

as for the other two.. enter and buy at your own risk :(

i would recommend aquatic wharehouse, finaddict, and CB pets.

Well what I meant when I suggested TT and AA was that they both have some interesting fish. I bought my yellow spotted boxfish at AA and my spiny boxfish(striped burrfish) from TT. Those two do seem alot less attentive to their livestock, I have seen some poor fish that I just wated to say "look man, that fish is gonna die, it needs special attention!" The other stores are really really good, but as far as variety, you gotsta shop around!

those two stores have some issues. i find the people that work in them typically have some good knowledge (if you find the right people) but when it comes down to it, I would much rather buy my livestock from someone who is passionate about it.

they are good for emergency equipment/meds, etc.. though.
