On the Fish Crawl this weekend I visited two of my favorite stores Aquatic Dog and Aqua Rocks Colorado. Aquatic Dog changed hands at the first of the year and has been in the process of slowly remodeling its merchandise and floor layout. They have no plans to change the livestock around much, so rest assured they still have the best selection of nanofish in Colorado. They do have plans on expanding their stock to include a few of the smaller cichlids and maybe eventually adding saltwater. I spotted several new fish I would love to design a tank around. Stop in and let them know why you shop there and what your needs are. I did not take any photos since things will be changing up, so maybe in a month I will have a full featured report on Aquatic Dog.
Aqua Rocks keeps adding amazing products and cultivating their awesome display tanks. They still have the best selection of aquascaping products including, lighting, rimless tanks, ferts, wood, and rocks. Everything you need to make your own awesome scape. The Dutch style aquascape tank really popped. As you can see, if you are into plants this is the place! Everything in the tank is for sale! This is the way to do display tanks. Everything in the display should be for sale and here it is. A few if the livestock choices which stand out are the shrimp and the guppies. Tommy now has the best guppies in the state. The fish he offers are intended to accent and enhance your aquascape, no matter the size of the tank. Even if you are not into fancy aquascaping, this is the place to come for beautiful driftwood and that special rock to make your tank pop. The secret to a really amazing tank is the lighting and Aqua Rocks has you covered in this department too. They have top of the line freshwater lighting! I have been using my Chihiros light for a saltwater tank and having great success, though I don’t do hard corals. So, there you have it. Both of these LFS are top notch in their specialties and well worth your business, and mine, of course.
