Carson Tropical Fish..,
I don't know the address but directions...
Its east of the 605 about 5 blocks on Carson ..in a shopping center behind the KFC. Just call 411 and ask for the number.

Great place, run by a really nice guy , Tom...

Check this out.. so Im shopping and told him I wanted a nano for my daughter.. used of course cause Im cheap lol.. he sells me a brand new one for $45 bucks.. 10 gal, Strong PC light, filter ...
I break out my wallet and no cash and had given my wife the CC to go shopping. He demands I just pay him later..
I walk out a little confused with a new little tank for my daughter on the honor system, Now thats just cool

Well for both of us haha, You know how it is...
I have a seahorse in there which shes been asking for.. but never done cause they need such calm and clean water. If my sps are happy that little seahorse should do fine.

Using my weekly waterchange water out of my main and so far so good shes a little pig. Its a female, Think Ill find her a mate = P

Well crap I thought it was Carson Tropical but 411 couldnt find the number.. and I honestly just know how to get there....

Wheres Thirst, I know he shops there as well...

yea it's in hawaiian gardens on carson street. about a good 10-15 miles from carson. Speaking of Carson, I owe tom like 200 bucks...... haha

Tom has one of the biggest neon green leathers around. It used to be like 10-15 inches tall and 10-15 inches across. It then was breaking off pieces.... He's had it for like 12 years or so now..

i checked out carson exotic fish, not much of a selection on corals, and prices were a bit high, so i went to jeffs, and got a frogspawn with 15 heads for $65.

hmm carson exotic fish? They are called carson tropical fish, but maybe u just mistytped... they're prices are the lowest of pretty much anywhere i go. I bought a 4 polyp rainbow acan there for 55 bucks, a 3 polyp indo acan for about 45 bucks. I guess one thing I should say is that he has a lot of loyal customers, and does well that way.

i meant tropical, it was a mistype, well i found that reef collection and jeffs have more of a selection. And by a bit high, not that high, just $5-15 more than usual fish stores. but still cheaper than tongs.

Well i think anyone is cheaper than tong's. And you'd expect quality with high prices...
