Aquatic Dog has long been my favorite LFS. They are located on the NE corner of Illiff & Quebec. This area is the far east part of Denver and convenient to most anybody on this side of town. As you may or may not remember, they are under new management and many changes have been made. Read this article for more on the transition. Elisa and Eric as the new owners have expanded the store’s selections, refined the stocking of supplies, and are focusing on what they enjoy most. All pets! To break this down, they have added guinea pigs, hamsters, a few birds, axolotls, and reptile supplies. This makes perfect sense if you know them, because they are now only partial owners of Nature’s Box Pet Emporium and the two stores complement each other quite nicely. I get the feeling they are coming into their own and it will show more and more. All the really good LFS have passionate owners behind them.
The aquatic department is basically the same, except they now have an expanded section of Goldfish tanks. If you are in the market for a nice Ranchu or Fantail, check with them for availability. The one thing I love most about this store is the wide selection of nano fish. This has not changed! They have some beautiful bettas available as well as aquascaping plants. The hardscape section has been expanded as have most of the aquarium supplies. The few new aquariums they have are pictured below. As per usual, you can always ask your LFS to order you what you seek. This includes livestock as well as dry goods.
The dogs are still there and the supplies area for them has been expanded, as has the cat supplies, though they do not have cats for sale. To me this is your local pet store which just happens to have an awesome aquatic department! Check out the photos below for a view of the changes.
