Hello and welcome Steven. I am in San Jose and always looking for places
with Apistos/Dwarfs.  You are fortunate in that you have local shop which is
reputed to carry a wide variety if Apistos.  The place is called Ocean
Aquarium and is in San Francisco.  I want to go up and check them out
sometime soon.
Please Email with your feedback on the shop if you go.
Thanks
