Aquatic Specialists

Anyone in the New Orleans area SHOULD stop at this great lfs. They had the best looking and upkept tanks I've seen. Plenty of plant and fish species. 3 things that caught my eye were that they had many plant species not seen in lfs around here, a good selection of beautiful discus, and they were the only place down here I've found that had both cherry, and amano shrimp. The price on them wasn't bad at 4.99 for cherries, and 2.99 for amanos. They had a couple of different shrimp species in other tanks but once I saw the cherries I had to get them into my tank. They are located on Williams 1 block past Esplanade Mall on the corner of Williams and 33rd street.
