Re: Local Pet stores(was:Stores in San Jose area)

For me in the immediate area, there is no place that sells apistos.
About 4 times a year, i make the 6 hour drive out to buffalo NY,
actually North Tonowanda, to The Fish Place.   Jake and Pete always have
a great selection of fish.  The Fish Place also carries alot of
everything.   Its worth the long day for me, becuase i can almost always
find something that interests me enough to take home and play with.
With all these Large Chain stores going up replacing the local Mom and
Pop shops, its harder to find the stuff im looking for.   Of course
after keeping apistos for quite some time now, i find it harder to find
new species to work with, even if they arent brightly colored species or
not.   I have gotten to the point now where, if i havent done it yet,
let me try them once, no matter what they look like.   I've been
suprised lately how the non spectacular looking species give me alot of
joy watching them.    I've gotten past the i need to have the most
colorful species to work with stage.   So with all the new stuff being
found, i've got years of joy keeping apistos ahead of me.
