Folks:

I have seats at the new North End Club at Memorial Stadium and will be in Austin a bunch this fall. (The 1st game is next weekend.)

Hopefully some members are from the Austin/San Antonio area and can direct me to several good LFS' in the Austin area.

Thanks
Ron Jones

BTW: The fish in which I am most interested are
[1] Gold Nugget Pleco's
[2] High End Angels
[3] High End Show Guppies
[4] Unusual/Hard to Find for a community aquarium.

Folks:

What I was after was personal experience with LFS' in the Austin area (thanks though RD).

I found a first class LFS. Amazonia @ 4391 Airport Boulevard - 512-451-0958.


This comment is unusual but the store was very clean and the tanks well maintained (they probably had over 100 20G tanks).


This comment is unbelievable but both employees which were present were very, very knowledgeable with respect to both fish and plants (I believe that the gal who owns the place only hires folks who work for her because they enjoy fishies and plants).


The UT game does not start until 6:00 P.M. tonight and I will not be coming home until Sunday morning.
They were out of battery powered air pumps and it is 3 hours from Austin to San Angelo (226 miles).
Amazonia does not open until noon on Sundays.

This comment is way past unbelievable and is in a location in the Universe where even Rod Serling never visited but one of the employees offered to meet me at the store whenever was convenient for me early Sunday morning in order to bag the fish and plants which I wanted and he did not even want a credit card charge for security!!!::thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup::clap::clap:
