Address: 291 W Centre Avenue

Phone Number: (269) 492-7387

Employees: All employees have been very polite. I havent spent much time talking fish with employees, so general knowledge level of employees is unknown.

Fish Selection: As far as cichlids are concerned, they had more africans than anything else. The few people there I spoke to said they rarely get any CA/SA at all. They had a few different types of gar, a few types of puffers, and plenty of barbs/tetras/etc.

Tank Conditions: Some of the tanks were extremely crowded looking the last time I was in there. To the point where some fish had a hard time moving because there were so many tankmates. There were few dead fish in tanks.

Dry Goods: I didnt price out much but the few things I did price out seemed to be slightly cheaper than other LFS in this area. I ended up purchasing my aquarium here.

The owners, Mark and Steve, have bred tons of fish.

Steve is an old time discus breeder that I have been getting discus from for years now.

The two are very knowledgable and are more than willing to share their experiences and give advice.

They are both good guys.
