I would also like to give a nod to Age of Aquariums on Sam Rittenburg Blvd in Charleston. This shop has undergone quite a bit of change in the previous couple of years. It went from being one of the best to slipping a bit a few years ago. It is now under a new owner and it is beginning to turn around. Stephen is willing to get whatever you want/need for your tanks and is very easy to deal with. Once the crowds start coming back around, the fish selection will surely continue to improve. This is definitely another shop to check out while in the Charleston, SC area.

Collecting must be done in an environmentally sound and responsible manner.
Not all native fishes are suitable for aquaria, and some species may test the skills of even the most experienced aquarist. Research the biology and captive requirements of each species before an attempt is made to remove them from the wild.
Fishes or other aquatic organisms must not be relocated or introduced into any outdoor bodies of water, even to places where they were originally collected (except catch and immediate release), including specimens raised in private aquaria. Realize that there are complicated and often unknown ecological processes at work in aquatic systems which may make fish introductions detrimental to the system. Potential problems from such introductions include displacement of native species, spread of disease, and the loss of genetic diversity via hybridization.
