Fish stores in Greensboro, North Coralina

[sharkeeper]

i will be heading to Greensboro, North Coralina for a customer meeting next week. Are there any nice fish stores worth to go in that area? It would be nice if they have a shark tank as a display or something.
BTW, let's say if I buy fishes in Greensboro and bring them back to Chicago (by plane, of course) then can I check them in as a luggage. I know I can't bring them as carry-on anymore that's for sure.

no clue on the stores, but unless you insulate the package they go in, i would think the fish wouldn't fare well. why not just buy locally?

You can bring them back on the plane with you. I have brought back a bunch of fish and anemones from California on my lap. All you have to do is tripple bag them and put them in a box that is sealed.
Once you get to the security gate explain to them that it is a pet fish and it has to go with you on the plane. They will inspect the fish in the bag.
