Hi, C-SEA'ers. I'll be in Cleveland soon and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some outstanding LFS's to visit. TIA

Although, it is on the outskirts of Cleveland, Salty Critter is a must visit.

See the thread "Best in Pets???NOT!!" for LFS.

I have to 3rd Salty Critter. Dan & his staff are the best, great selection, reasonable prices & knowledgable & friendly staff make it a must visit.
I 'd also recommend North Coast Aquatics in Amherst. Rick is a great guy and knows his stuff. Nice product with good prices.

some others to consider:

Aquatic Technologies-Large selection + beautiful display tanks. Staff is somewhat knowledgable(IMHO) Greg the owner, flip a coin. He'll either be nice or an absolute rude jerk(IMHO) The guy knows his stuff though.

Aquarium Adventures-Nice layout + decent selection. RIDICULOUSLY HIGH prices on livestock!!(IMHO)

Places to avoid like the plague:

Best in Pets(Elyria) one word HORRIBLE!

Hello Gary. When you come to Cleveland please bring some of those mini carpets with you.

I might just do that. You'll know I did if you see mini carpets in the Flats.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I would say to check out best in pets for most of the people on this site
are unaware that he brings in most of the fish to the local shops. RMS Water world and other various shops in the area his store is stocked with the fill that they dont want perhaps he shouldnt offer them for sell
and try to recoup his $$ Ditto the critter though!! Excellent live stock and knowledgable sales staff.

Salty Critter ROCKS!! Great staff, selection, prices and advise!
A "Must see"IMHO!

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I stopped by "Salty Critter" yesterday and it was a very pleasant place.
Vermillon itself is a very nice town. I brought a pie home from 'Papa Joe's'.
Unfortunately, I was unable to bring any of my mini carpet anemones (Stichodactyla tapetum ) on my trip. You can always PM me about shipping anemones. (See pic of them in my RC gallery.)

*Hot tip* check out the Regal Angelfish Dan just brought out of QT at Salty Critter. It's a large beauty.... and it's not every day you find a LFS that's hip enough to offer Bartlett's Anthias.
