Looking for good LFS in Houston !!!

[bevo77]

Hello everyone,
Please give input into any good LFS in the Houston area. I am new to this hobby and want to find a good local source for supplies, livestock, etc. I have been told that there are good and bad in this industry and would rather find a good one to start that take the lumps with trial and error.
Thanks,

I use Fishland exclusivly. I like the people there and the honest answers. The fish and corals are generally healthy. I understand that they are not the cheapest store in Houston, but I also know that as a rule, you get what you pay for. For inverts I would reccomend buying them here. I am planning on doing just that!

Fishland is a great store. I recently bought several corals from that store and all are doing great.
Another good one is citipets, on Beltway8 and Beechnut.
Also, T&T Fish and Reptile on Hwy6 South has some very impressive displays and wide selection.
Finally, Aquarium World on Hwy290 has a HUGE display tank that must be over 50,000 gallons and has an 8 foot eel in it. They are over priced IMO.

Aquarium World has a very nice store! I live 2hrs north of Houston, and every time I'm down that way I have to stop there (have been known to make special trips just to visit that store). If you've never been there, you really need to see it. That display tank is HUGE.

Thanks for the help. I am glad to see that there are so many people from the Houston area that watch this forum. I am going to make a weekend of visiting the LFS's that were recommended.
Should be fun and I hope not too expensive.
Thanks,
