I frequent All Pets Club in Wallingford (Rt 5) and Branford (on Rt 1). They have a decent selection of fish and plants, as well as a decent amount of variety.

Another good place for fish is Petstar in Branford, also on Rt 1.

I've been to others, but nothing that has really impressed me in regards to freshwater. BTW, there's another shop in Milford called Purrrfect pets that is pretty good for locating hard to find fish.

I'd really like some good places for plants.

There are no really good shops near me so I buy most of my plants from members here on the forum in S&S. Quantities and quality are always better as well as the price.
I also dont buy fish very often so most shops serve me well as long as they keep the tanks healthy.

I have a bunch of stores in my area but wouldn't go as far as calling their variety fantastic.

Oh man, thankyou thief ! I have never seen that site but I will be registering and spending a few hours on that one later today. It looks like a great place to find new shops.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

I was pleasantly surprised by the plant selection and display setup at PetSmart in Norwalk. They had a lot of variety. My only gripe is that the lighting requirements they list for some of the plants is a bit lower than what it actually is.
