rockon.gif rockon.gif rockon.gif this has to be my favorite fish store ever! (so far)
they have it all! they carry most brands of filters foods and equipment a nice selectiona of saltwater fish and corals/inverts very nice selection of africans
beautiful discus many stains also tropicals odd balls and some south/central american that may be their weakest point but maybe i wasn't looking at those very much either but the best has to be their freshwater stingray pond with many different kinds off rays and a few peacock bass i don't know how many gallon but it's awesome! craftmanship ! it has a water fall at the back! they also have about 8 180 gallon tanks end to end back to back i think four had different kinds of live aquatic plants with maybe a fish or two i remember seeing a puffer with a tank of his own!
the other side had ceja rays china rays tiger rays and others it was incredible
they also have a nice selection of books i only wish i lived closer
they are located at 3054 S. Wolf Rd. westchester 60154 708-562-5000
it is truly a stingray lovers delight!

Scott's is top notch. They have a decent selection of freshwater and saltwater fish. The staff is very knowledgeable overall. They get some natives in sometimes also. I was just in there today. They have tiger musky, northern pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, bullhead, and black crappie.

Sometimes I wish that they would get more of a selection. For example I don't see bichers there very often.

The big bonus: I live 2 minutes from Scott's. It makes it super convenient for me to pick up food and supplies. smile.gif
