There's a new fish store off of Savannah Highway, not too far from the 526 dump-off. It's right next to the Firehouse in the Food Lion? shopping center. Might be some other grocery store. At any rate, the store is beautiful. They've got a great wall of saltwater tanks with some pretty exotic species that you don't find in the other area stores. There's a pretty good size indoor koi pond and they've got a really nice selection of equipment on hand. Go take a look, you won't regret it.

I actually went into this shop a few months ago and wasn't terribly impressed. I know they are just getting started but their equipment and supplies selection was very limited. The SW fish did look nice and there were some oddities in there. Just my two cents.

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.
