Interesting to see about 20 pages back a similarly named place in Bowling Green KY, not all that far (250 miles maybe?) from here. But a search only turned up one other place in Tennessee, and that in Nashville, which is 100 miles from me. So I would like to mention:
Fishy Business
911 E Church St # E
Lexington, TN 38351 US (731) 968-0079
It's the only lfs I know of between Memphis and Nashville*. On the north side of Rt. 412 as you head east out of town. In a strip mall called Jones Plaza.
Little bitty place. About 2/3 of it is sw; of the remaining third FW fish share space with a wall of birds, snakes, lizards, other small pets; and the middle is display space for big (say 50g and up) aquaria with stands and such.
Not the greatest selection, basic fish mostly. And very little in the way of plants. Used to sell at least ghost shrimp but not even those any more. No snails. However the owner will try to get special requests in from his supplier if you ask.
It's enough of a wonder that a tiny little town like Lexington has a LFS at all, I suppose. Without him I'd be stuck with mailorder, cuz I am not driving 200 miles to Nashville and back to get a tetra.
Walmart in Huntingdon TN used to carry fish but got rid of their tanks a year or two ago. (Trying to be polite I will confine myself to saying this is no great loss.) However they do still have supplies such as food, heaters, air pumps, etc. Plus they sell rather nice basic 1-10g tanks and refills for filters & such for what they sell.
*editing to say that there is a PetSmart and PetCo in Jackson TN and they may sell fish. Havent' been there in awhile so can't say for sure. My car is old and decrepit so I do not put it on the interstate if I can avoid it.
