you know there was no real answer to this everyone wants different stuff. i was at texas tropical yesterday and they had just got a shipment in of new fish. out 100+ fish they had got in i didnt see anything i liked. i like gettin up early on weekends and hitting up all the stores in town, you can try aquarium designs, jason has a good selection of stuff all the time, or make the drive to austin we have some good sponsor stores up there that are worth the drive.
