Pensacola or Mobile


Does anybody have any good recommendations for a good fish store in the Pensacola or Mobile area?

It seems like the best fish I've ever found have been at Water World on Langley in Pensacola. They only deal with fish, both fresh and salt. The prices are a little high for some of the fish, but then again it seems like they are better quality. I also go to Ivey's pet center, because it's right down the road and my girlfriend use to work there. He'll gladly order anything you want if he can get it in, fish or otherwise.

In Mobile, you can go to B&B Pet Stop. There fish are typically quite healthy. They have a small assortment of plants, and they're usually clean. Their equipment prices can be a bit outrageous, but foods and whatnot are pretty reasonable.

The only other store around that I like is Fat Fish. They don't have a very good FW selection at all, but sometimes have a few cool odds and ins. They're quite limited, as they only have ~400gal FW holding space. They also have a limited selection of plants. The catch there is they have a larger selection of aquarium supplies than any other store in the immediate area.

I'll have to check out Water World. Sounds nice.

Water world has been around for a long time, the owners of the shop are friends with my dad and they have been friends since they where little. I buy all of my fish from them and sometimes I will buy supplies from them. Water world is the best place to go for fish in Pensacola!!!

I went to Ivey's this week and found out that they will order you any fish that they can get from their supplier with no commitment and you can check them out when they come in. Just buy them if you like them. They had a lot of cichlids and only a small selection of community fish, but the ordering is great and the fish they had looked good. Their plant selection was minimal, and I'm not sure if you can order those as well, but all in all it was well worth the stop.

Thanks.
