South Florida Stores

GIO590 · 07-28-2007, 05:19 PM

Finding good local stores for our hobby can be difficult, so I am creating a list of local fish stores, breeders, growers (of aquarium plants) and places you can get hard to find items for our hobby (such as CO2 bottles) for the broward/miami area.

If you would like to recomend a store please post thier name, location and a brief discription along with any comments about them and I will update the list

Mark's Ark

beverly's is pretty sick. used to live in the 954.

GIO590 · 11-30-2007, 01:25 PM

Yah I love beverly's. They have such a large selection. And the salespeople are very knowledgeable. The only store that is bigger than beverlies is Big Alls, but there you don't get the same level of customer service.

GIO590 · 12-21-2007, 05:20 PM

Update, I found out that Beverly's stocks Ottocinclus Catfish and Flying Foxes.

I have been looking all over for these but, didn't feel like driving all the way to Big All's in Tamerac.

Big Al's is the place... remember double points on Wednesdays. Just had a 15% sale on plants this past weekend.

I'm in Miami and have good luck with The neighborhood fish farm off bird road and 122ave. They have over 100 outdoor tanks and a good selection of plants.
