Any good LFS in Oxnard area?

[AZDesertRat]

I am flying into Burbank and driving to Oxnard next month. Are there any good stores that I just can't pass up while I am there? I will be staying in the Oxnard, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks area for 3 days. Next question is can I carry a amall collapsible cooler on the plane to bring any corals I might find back to Phoenix? Its only a 1.5 hour trip so I would think they would survive well if they will let me carry them on the plane.

Still needing info. I will be in California this weekend. So far the only suggestion has been AquariumCity. There has got to be some good shops between Phoenix and Ventura/Oxnard. I will be driving and will pack a couple of small coolers to transport goodies home.

Try this Fish Store (http://fins.actwin.com/dir/stores.php?c=1&r=65) link out and see what may fall in the area you are traveling thru.

Thanks KonaDog. Now all I have to do is figure out which ones are close to I-10 or the 101.

What you might want to visit -

Mark's Tropical Fish
12063 Ventura Pl
Studio City
(818) 762-7700

101 fwy off at Coldwater Cyn, south to Ventura Place (about a mile), left (east) about 1/2 block on the left (north) side.

Aquarium City
21723 Sherman Way
Canoga Park
(818) 887-7369

101 fwy off at Canoga, north to Sherman Way (about 3-4 miles), left (west) about 1/2 mile (just past Owensmouth) on the right (north) side.

I don't know if the "orange" level of alert will make a difference, but I had no problems carrying a bag of bagged corals on the plane from MACNA in Dallas-Fort Worth to Burbank back in September. You could always pack it up well and make it one of your "suitcases" (ie, checked luggage).

FWIW,
Kevin
