  • Where are all the saltwater LFS' in Houston

    Hey all. I am returning to the hobby after about 12 years away. Just noved to a new house and put in a 270 gal FOWLR. I am having a hard time finding local fish stores that carry saltwater. Only ones I am aware of are Fish Gallery, which has a pretty limited SW fish selection, ADG, also a limited selection, and Aquarium World, which has a great selection but makes me nervous about the health of their stock and knowledge of their employees.

    Surely there must be other saltwater stores in Houston? (I am inside the loop so I don't count Katy, The Woodlands, etc as Houston ) Can anyone recommend any? Or does everyone order their livestock online these days?

            Thanks. Heard about City Pets but couldn't find a website for them and wasn't sure if they were still in business. The others are all pretty far for me...

                  Hi! There is a newer place off Stuebner Airline in Spring called "That Aquarium Place" pretty stand up place. Jamal the owner will take good care of you, he is straight up honest, keeps a clean system, and carries a great variety of quality fish, sps, and lps. He is also good at special requests.

                  Global Leaders changed owners a few months back and isnt the same. I went in there just a few days ago for live rock and well, lets just say I wont be back anytime soon. But thats just me, you may have an entirely different experience.

                      Ocean Life is a good store to check out. Good selection and decent price. I like That Aquarium Place too because the owner is friendly. Sometimes I got a better deal than what was priced and never asked for a discount. FJW is good for corals but not much selection on fish. City Pets is worth the drive but prices aren't as low as they used to be.

                        The owner at That Aquarium Place is great at taking care of repeat and regular clients.

                        Id be interested in Omars Candy Shop in Tomball if anyone has any experience with them??
