A fire burned down "The Hidden Reef"' in NE Philadelphia. Let us have a moment of silence. It was the biggest and best fish store in Philly. I am greatly saddened by its loss. A neighboring store a few doors down in the shopping center caught fire and it spread. The reports said that the flames didn't hurt the store, but part of the walls are collapsing and smoke and water damage has done the place in. I think of how sad it must be for the owners who have made it a great store with a loyal following. And all those poor fish! They had a fantastic display tank that was huge with a dozen discus or so in there. I wonder if they were running with some in buckets to save any of them. I suppose they all perished.
