Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

Whats your LFS
Mine are
Petsmart
Pet Co
The Tropical Fish Store
Diamond Bar Pet center
and
http://www.liveaquaria.com/

Sea Creatures - ( This is the best LFS I've ever been to, he gets so many tropical fish, and he gets some of the rarest, hardest fish to obtain in regularly.)

Sea World (another great LFS )

PJ's Pet ( ehh.. alright I guess)
Petco ( same as PJ's)

Petco :\


Though the Petsmart has improved vastly...it looks absolutely fabulous(a tad pricey though).

I'll do graffiti,
If you sing to me in French.

we are lucky enough to have one of the best lfs in the country nearby, here is a link to thier site.
http://www.wharfaquatics.co.uk/

Petsmart
PetSupermarket
Ed's Pet World...went there today for the 1st time...my fav so far.
The Fish Bowl
and Big Al's for supplies...for the most part, even Drs. Foster and Smith can't beat Big Al's prices...I compare every time I buy stuff, just in case...

edit: I forgot Aquatic Plant Depot, for plants! :%)

And Northbay Aquatics when I visit my mom.

Cake or death?

Aquatic habitat, expensive but good.Decent knowledge on site, and good quality fish and equipment.

Aquajardin when the habitat is closed or traffic makes it hard to get to.Nice selection but the average age of assistant is like 15, and it doesnt help on the knowledge or thorough care front.

And pets at home when I need dry foods. No way would I ever actually buy a fish from them.

For fish:
[link=Living Sea Aquarium]http://www.livingseaaquarium.com/" style="COLOR: #00A0AE[/link] Sometimes expensive, but have good quality and variety. Fish only, really... the supplies/tanks can be had MUCH cheaper elsewhere.

Supplies:
Petsmart
Petco
Petland (good quality bettas here, too)
Pet Supplies Plus
Walmart (limited selection, but cheap! )

There's a bunch of online suppliers I use for plants and other supplies.

I only buy fish from my LFS... though bettas come from all of the above places.

Not in preferance order. Only two are close Jano's is in the local shopping center and Petorium I have to pass on the way home from gym three times a week.

All of these I would recommend some better than others. They all seem to have their speciality in one way or another.

Aquarium Plus East Bentleigh
Blackburn Aqu Blackburn South
Bunarong Aquarium Frankston
Jano's Pet Lovers suppliers
Mentone Aquarium Mentone
Oakleigh Aquarium Oakleigh
Petorium Mornington
Regency Aquarium Croydon

I would visit at least two ever week. All are privatley onwned and the owner is usualy there on most days. On a Aquarium look and see I would go to four this could take most of the day as it will include a visit to several garden nurseries. Total about 200klm

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

[link=Northbay Aquatics]http://www.northbayaquatics.com" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link], the store where I work.

But like Cup_of_Lifenoodles, I also get a lot of stuff directly from other aquarists.
