Yep I've been in there plenty of times. Cleanest tanks in Cleveland.

Tough economy is taking its toll.

I started my fish keeping there. I went there yesterday to check it out... bought a few things. Then today I was planning to go up right before closing and see if any really good deal would pan out. My buddy and I took home around 40 newer plants from their tanks for .50 a piece and some nice driftwood too. Lucky, all that big fish were being picked up when we were up there for about 2 hours. I was especially happy to see the full-sized GG go to a nice guy who must have spent a lot of money. I really didn't shop there much because of their prices, but I did really like the staff. I wish them the best. AA had a good run. I hear a Pet Supplies Plus might take over the old Circuit City because when AA moved in they signed an agreement that no other fish store could establish itself in RPS, but now that they closed, who knows. I tried to get the wood off the walls too, lol.

i have an aquarium adventure here too. they have a maybe 5" motoro for......$400. and another ray, labeled as "cobra stingray" for $800, which looks like nothing more than a large retic. most of the time they do have nice quality fish here. too bad they dont lower their prices a few bucks now, and end up making more later due to increased sales

i do like them for ghost shrimp however. now its 50 for $8. it was 100 for $8 for awhile

Great price on ghost shrimp! Best deal in town here is 25 for $7.

The small stores are doing ok and others doing great in the area because they don't have an outrageous overhead and equally outrageous prices like AA did. AA hung themselves with their own rope. I only went there when I ran out of Prime and when I did have to buy it I hated to get it from there because a 50ml bottle was about $8

You said when you were there all the big fish were being picked up. I hope so I couldn't get a chance to go out there this week to see what was left.
