Fish Planet in Deerfield as well, no one mentions much, I think the prices are too high...maybe that's why?

I was just at Gofish in Orland Park last week and they are still rearranging the store and it didn't look like they were moving to me..

 

[treedesign]

What I meant was the store is not called GoFish anymore. It's called Chicago Fish and Coral (to match Chicago Reptile House etc). The partner that owned the name GoFish left the company. Don't know if he's starting his own store though.

Another one is Chicago Aquarium company in Andersonville.Fairly small operation but have a reasonable selection of salt and supplies.They tend to be on the higher price point,but Gabe is very knowledgable,the other guy who works knows nothing about salt.Good if you need something quick for locals.

chicago aquarium is priced reasonably for some basic needs such as food and dry goods but the lr is way up there. The store seems nice enough and i will say that the saltwater fish prices are pretty in line with other stores but they had no corals or reefs setup when i was there. I heard from someone in the wholesale business that the owner of this store used to work at old town aquarium, maybe Gabe?
