As I mentioned here, I ordered some Cherry Shrimp from these guys. I had tried getting them from Petown in Orange County, but they weren't able to get them in.

In my opinion:

PROs:
-Went the extra mile to order something for me ... and actually followed through
-Great plant selection (w/CO2 in large planted holding tank)--so much so that I wish I would've bought here instead of online (though my order's due tomorrow) ... some great specimens
-Very nice, thorough hardware selection
-Several planted tanks on premesis
-Nice guys, helpful, etc.

CONs:
-Hard to find a whole lot of fault here, but if I had to--they didn't seem to have a whole lot of tetras that I personally would like (Cardinals, Penguin, Bloodfin) or Rasboras (Harlequins)

I think I'd still put Petown in Lake Forest, CA, above these guys as far as fish are concerned, but Strictly Fish wins on most other counts.
