Hello all, complete newb here, both to the forum and to keeping fish. Well, not complete, I did help maintain a couple of tanks for my aquatic science class in high school, but that was about a decade ago... Anywho, I've wanted an aquarium for a long time but never really got bitten by the bug to do anything about it until recently. I rescued a betta that was being used as a decoration at a company party (they were gonna flush the poor guy after it was over) and that started again. I'm in the planning/saving stage now, either setting up a FW community or a fancy goldfish tank. Just wanted to introduce myself and troll for some advice.
What is a good LFS around the HW6 & I10 area? I can see that the closest to me are Fishland and T&T south of me and Aquatic World and Leo's to the north. I went in Fishland last weekend and I wasn't terribly impressed, but then I don't really know what to look for. What are some warning signs to stay away from? Also, I hate talking to employees in stores, but I am definitely going to need some help and advice from whatever LFS(s) I decide to frequent. What stores have really helpful and most importantly knowledgable staff that can help me decide what to put in the tank, hardware and fish-wise?
