In the past 2 months I think I've been to most of the fish stores around here so I might be able to help. What oddballs are you looking for? Oh and no you don't neec to have a planted tank to be here.

Hmm im lookin for a elephant nose or a baby whale.

stormrider27 · 07-30-2005, 02:48 AM

Not something I'd normaly be looking for but I'd give Ocean blue a call they have stuff that is a little off the beaten path. If they don't have any go see the guys at Pet Bazzar in casselberry. They wont have one but if they can get one they will bring it in. I'm prety sure I havent seen a Gnathonemus petersii recently though.

nvm The Aquarium Inc. had one for 14.99. And some African butterlfy fish that i got too. Hehe yup i think all my tank need is sum plants but with 1 wpg and no CO2 system i cant keep much plants.

Wookie,
If you're ever in need of something "off the beaten path" like an elephant fish in the future, call Ocean Blue. They would be happy to help you out...

They can get their hands on most anything.

They have some elephants in stock now. Bottom left hand tank with the glass knives and wood shrimp. Right above those are their cherry shrimp

.

oh cool where is ocean blue?

Mellyn · 08-20-2005, 01:40 AM

I haven't found Ocean Blue yet... but I called the phone number and they answered.... So I know they exist. Just where they exist is unknown to me. I've driven up and down Aloma in that area and cannot find it! ><

**thirston** · 08-20-2005, 12:53 PM

It is on Aloma, so you're on the right track

It's at the intersection where Howell Branch meets Hall Rd, at Aloma. Basically it's west of Tuskawilla and East of Goldenrod. There's a big plaza on the corner (Aloma and Howell Branch) with a KFC, McDonalds, Publix, Blockbuster, and a slew of other things. They are in that plaza all the way to the right, next to Gleasons Grille.

Good luck. Maybe I'll see you there.

Wookiellmonster · 08-20-2005, 02:58 PM

Mellyn · 08-20-2005, 03:36 PM

Wookiellmonster · 08-31-2005, 02:51 AM

I visited RBC Aquarium and Pets on north OBT yesterday. It seemed ok - not great, but ok. The normal fish selection, really cheap feeder fish and shrimp. They had a lot of equiptment and lighting. They had some huge koi! I have to go back there soon. I broke.. I mean... need to return the light fixture I bought. Turned it on and the switch broke. I'm such a horrible klutz.

Wookiellmonster · 09-12-2005, 05:31 PM

oh cool u live by there? im like 2 miles away from that place. i dont like it tho.. i dont know it seems over priced to me. It use to be called Jack's aquarium and pets but i think they went bankrupt and had to sell the store.

stormrider27 · 09-12-2005, 05:42 PM

Has any one been to that aqua pets yet? If so how does it compare to the other places.

Wookiellmonster · 09-12-2005, 05:57 PM
