I used to actually live within walking distance of that lfs on Santa
Monica....definitely a sketchy place!
Thanks for the recommendations!

There are three good ones I know of on Ventura Blvd in the Valley -
Marks Tropical Fish on Ventura Place and Laurel Canyon, Aquarium
Central (I think that's the name) on Ventura at Woodman on the
southwest corner and one more on Ventura just East of Van Nuys on the
North side of the street on the same block as Guitar Center.

I bought most of my fish from Marks and Aquarium Central. I do not
recommend the lfs on Santa Monica Blvd at Fuller near Trader Joes.
Last time I was there I saw the owner selling a couple about a dozen
fish and the tank they'd go into at the same time... I asked him to be
sure and he shrugged and confirmed. I left with my money in my pocket.
What's the cross street of Fumis on Pico?
