Hey well today me and my mom were bord and we decided to go to the maryland fish stores (we live in virginia)

Heres my review of the stores we visited

Tropical Fish World
AMAZINGGGGG they had so many fish and so many display tanks
good prices, not to many people to get help though
oh check online before you go, if they just had a sale (like when we were there) they will be sort of empty on the more uncommon fihs, but they were still amazinggg

Congressional Aquarium
Looked almost brand new, i cant find a web site so just check on yellow pages or something. They had some cool fish. I didnt really like that on almost every aisle there was atleast one tank of died fish ....
THey had ballon belly blue german rams which ive never seen before, but aton of the tanks had the dreaded ich(or ick i dont know) grossss, there plants were sort of cruddy aswell, and ovr priced!
HUGE SELECTION OF BETTA!

Scales
They hardly had any of the basic fish, like guppys mollys tetra, but they had some really cool fresh water goby and there were a tonn of people to help you with.
As for the plants, one word, CHEAP
They had most of them for 49 cents! The potted ones were mostly 3.99 .
THey were out of brine shrimp though bummerrr

Spazzin53, Thanks for your kind words about TFW. I am the Sunday manager there. I wanted to let everyone know that we will be having a sale February 16-18th. On the 16th, Freshwater fish/plants will be 30% off, Salt will be 10% off. The 17th its 40% on Fresh/ 20% on Salt. The 18th (last day of the sale), freshwater is 50% off. Saltwater is 30% off.

I placed the plant order as well as an order from Tony Orso (apistos, pelvicachromis, rare tetras, barbs and rasbora). Plants will be in late this Friday. Fish will be in late this Wednesday. Though I ordered about 20 different types of plants, Crypts will be the main highlight. I have about half a dozen different types of crypts coming in. All are xtra large in size.

By the way... we offer 10% off all live goods to any aquarium club members. This includes members of the website Monster Fish Keepers. I will extend the same offer to members of PLantedTank.net, but can only do so when I am working (Sundays). Obviously this discount would not be valid during sales. I hope to see many of you next week! -AndrewTFW
