My grandmother lives in Springfield, there is a pretty good lfs by the fairgrounds in springfield. There are some pretty good shops in Springfield too, but I'm sure their are better and more in St. Louis. Try looking some stuff up in the phonebook.

Thanks! 90% of the ones I called from the phone book were disconnected and the other 10% no one answered the phone.

We are pretty screwed as far as local fish shops go. I live in Madison County. I have found some REALLY good deals at thePetco web site...They have nice sales and free shipping once in a while...I need a place to buy an aquarium...I guess the search continues..
Good Luck

Actually, I think most of those places on the map linked above are pretty good. I don't like the place in Fairview Heights at all though. He's too expensive. I like Beldt's the best. They are recently under new ownership and they've really turned the place around. Marine Solutions is decent, but their fish are risky as many don't look healthy. Lot's of corals to choose from though. No prices listed on most things though and that drives me nuts. Clayton Pet Emporium is pretty good too, don't go there much though. Those places may all be too far since you're mentioning Springfield.

The place in FVH prices are through the roof. :scared:
I agree Beldt's fish are probably the healthiest looking, and Marine solutions for coral, sometimes you get good deals when they don't have em priced, sometimes you don't I just don't buy when they tell me some BS price. Marine Solutions always has sickly looking fish.

Ya. I was just going one way on the map and thought I was going another
it has been one of those days. I think I will check Beldts out. Hopefully I only have about another week on my cycle so I can get some fish. I am a few days shy of being 7weeks into my cycle. My ammonia is finaly down to 0 so I am almost there.

I did that when I was using the satelite zoom to find my house.
