West River salt water stores?

Are there any SW stores in the area besides Trish's Fishes? It seems like the RC mall pet store used to have a small SW section, but I haven't been in there for 8 years...

Looks like in Rapid City choices are Trish's Fishes (on Mt. Rushmore rd.) and Pet Paradise (in Bacon Park). Trish's is by far the better store for SW, but Pet Paradise surprisingly had a larger variety of fish.

The mall quit sellin SW, Baken Park is a waste of time, so that leaves Trishes fishes or Black Hills Angels which is in Black Hawk.

I personally goto BH Angels because the owner (Cheryl) takes the time to chat with me and gives me a good deal on most things. She is doin some tank tear down and rebuild, but has her show tank up an runnin now, thats who i rec for the area

I stopped by Black Hills Angels today as I am in town for a few days... In my opinion it's the best selection of SW in the area. The lady running the store was very friendly/helpful. She even called a friend of hers when she didn't know the answer to a question I had about a fish they had in stock (sw leaf fish). They also have a nice frag/coral tank.

Trish's Fish's also has a pretty good selection. The people are also friendly and are pretty reasonable if you see something in a display tank you just MUST have.
