Online Order
I would love to keep my money here in Illinois. I live in Bloomington and find it discouraging that not one store in Chicago (that I have found) has an online store for ordering corals/fish etc. Any suggestions?

I would highly recommend new fish for us city dwellers. Great coral selection and nice staff. Old town aquarium is certainly nice and priced accordingly - seems like the tiffanys of fish stores but I have seen some amazing species there.

Guys, I am planning to make a trip to "Sho Tank" one of the upcoming days. Since it's a bit of a distance I would like to know if it's worth it. How is the quality of their animals, health etc? Mainly interested in fish, but some frags would be nice too. Thanks.

No indiana listings?
Pet playground Hammond Indiana 219-845-7387 Not sure of their hours but I know they are open 7 days a week. They are where I frequently go. Nice people always willing to help. |

Not being familiar with the Chicago land area, what fish stores are near or around Naperville? I am heading up there tomorrow I just found out and would love to find some good stores to check out.

I looked yhrough that, but didnt see any that said 'naperville' so thought l would ask. I will probably go through that map to and see what is closest to me up there.

I would have to agree. Naperville itself has nothing. Unless some reefers from the town want to jump in and share tanks and frags

I briefly stopped in Aquarium Adventures in Bolingbrook next to IKEA. Does not look like too bad of a place. Kind of like a really upscale petsmart or similar. They did have a 40% off sale off all fish which was nice. Wonder how often they hold that sale. Normal pricing seemed similar to other LSF I've have been to.

Just a heads up there is a new store off 59 in the Plainfield/Naperville area called Aquatic Visions. This is same exact store as Upscale Aquatics in Plainfield. He closed Upscale and opened this new place. A lot of you are already familiar with Upscale but for those who aren't, expect high prices and loud hard rock music.
