When your on the southern dade route,you can make it 13 or 14 stores. When you're by Aquarium Concepts, you can go to Aquarium Depot in town and country. There's also Neptune Aquariums and reptiles on 137 Ave and like 38 St SW.

there was an awesome...and i mean awesome red montipora at the first store on bird road on the north side. forget the name. they wanted too much money than matt and I could afford. would love to have it though! and then no radiant wrasses. I told you where I found one and now its gone...guess you didn't go get it!

 

[macawmagic]

yea...we didn't really have that good of a route planned. ended up just trying to figure out from the fish store list what was closest and calling and getting directions. next time we'll plan it out a little more...if there is a next time. it was a rough, but fun day.

 

[Bernie21]

Sounds like fun, Thankfully I work in the Kndall Area, live in Flagler Area & My fiance lives in the West kendall Area. Thankfully any way I go I have access to all these stores. I would like to one day see the broward stores. I hear great things from them!!

I went to fish empire today too...around 2:15, the fishes are nice except for that popeye angel. Lots of wrasses! The corals tanks are not doing so good tho. I was looking for a flame hawk, but I might just get the longnose from big al.

 

[macawmagic]

he said something happened with the one coral tank and thats why everything was looking so bad...I bought a huge rock of red zoos from there. very good deal! it was like 500 zoos.

 

[Ding2daDong]

Yea it seemed like a good day to just chill and check out LFS. I do want to visit all of them eventually but honestly every fish store in Miami/Dade has nothing on the Broward stores coral/fish/drygoods selection and customer service and prices. I think I may save the gas money and just take a drive over to Coral Reef Farm or Fishes of Eden.

[A.T.T.R]

I wish we had a Big Al's up here, I drove down there 2 weeks ago just to pick up some Mex-Turbos. For some reason It seems they allways have them In stock with good prices also. On Top of that I ended up going on Tuesday night which I didnt know was shark feeding night pretty cool and also got an extra 10% off all live stock.
