I'm in Jacksonville and vacationing in O-Town next week. Can anyone recommend the best shops to visit, specifically for freshwater plants and various Rainbow species of fish (Goyder river, Emeralds, etc). Thanks.

Hey Fin - Where do you buy your Rainbows? AZGardens.com and OddballFish.com both have decent ones, but I REALLY want to find the rare Dority species for my Rainbow/Gourami tank. BTW: Hitchhikers always remember their towels (ever seen the British TV version of HHGuide2theGalaxy?).

I only remember it after a few Pangalatic gargleblasters. The shops around here have basic bread and butter 'bows. Thet think Emerald's are rare and unusual. Mention a Gertudae and they just stare at you with a blank look about thier faces. Seven Seas is about the only place I have even seen more than 4 types of various 'Bows in one shop. But thier supply is hit and miss. Its a small shop and they only have a few freshwater tanks. They are mostly a marine dealer. I have run across a guy that can get me stuff from his secret supplier and after I get my 125 up and running I'm going hog wild on oddball rainbows.
