i know just google, but does anyone have any good or bad things to say as far as a fish store references in the cheektavegas and surrounding area’s. i’m @ Blackforest on the south east corner of the airport and need to find me an algae eater. my huge pleco is getting lazy. didn’t want to clutter up SilverGT’s salt thread with fresh water OT BS. Pet supplies plus is as close to a chain as i’d like to get in a pinch, Petco and PetSmart irk me… so a mom and pop is what I’d like to find. what store do you suggest, and what kind of algae eater do you recommend. Chinese algae eaters and OTTO’s came up in the other thread. tank is a standard 55gal that gets a touch too much light so the uprights of my undergravel (no powerheads) get some funk in them and the plastic plants are getting fur on them. running an aquaclear 70 on the back and 4 undergravel panels with 4 airstones in the uprights for flow and i’ve had great luck in other tanks as far as keeping them near maintenance free but i’m sorta stuck where this tank lives @ work. i’m overdue for a water change but the water quality is excellent other than the start of some algae growth. thanks everyone. -Zac ---

Was just going to say that; best fish store around is off Colvin in NT; “The Fish Place”. looks like a shit-hole from the outside, but they have the best selection of everything, and actually KNOW what they’re talking about when it comes to fish. ---

I’m looking to buy a glass aquarium. I haven’t decided between a bow front or a tall hexagon type of tank. Will any place local have a good selection? ---

not to threadcrap but if you have an algae issue, algae eaters are not the solution… your sulfate levels are probably over the top and keeping up with water changes is the best way to deal with algae. +1 for the Fish Place. Very knowledgeable fish people. We have a pair of breeding Labidochromus caerulus that have youngsters we sell to them once in a while. ---

I should have known better too. I made the same mistake a few years ago with an Oscar. I’ll probably just put these two out of their misery. No fish store will take them because so many people make the same mistake. I’ll probably just give these guys a quick painless death and go tropical. Lots of small colorful fish are more interesting anyway.
