Yes, Aquarium Showcase has the false percula's. I was there last weekend. I believe they were $23.00 + or -. Great store. The guys that work there are fantastik! They had a super shipment of fish in last week. Very nice.

There are several fish stores that are closer to Fish Store and More than this one.

I will have to go back in because the last few times I have been here it was anything but a "great store" and their coral prices were pricey at least compared to Petland Alph. They also used to have a lot of poor specimens in the tanks. I will visit later this week and give a report just to see if they have truly improved or this is just a drive by ad. I do find it odd that Blind1993 posts negative pricing comments about Petland Alph, but positive ones about Showcase when the corals are more expensive at Showcase.

well when i said bad things about petland it was about the fishes they are very over priced compared to what i get my fishes for like a coral beauty for 25. petland 40. but i bought a coral from them and they are very cheap but aquarium showcase is more dedicated to saltwater that is why i like them but i dont buy much from them the only fish i have seen cheap over there is a yellow tang and taht is it.

AS nano corals arent price badly b/c a few of them I dont really consider nano but they are pretty good

Petland - alpharetta the time i've been there they had mainly just torches, hammers, and frogspawns....all 3 i picked up at AS for 50 or so whatever that special that AS had

Petland - Duluth...still in renovation but they get shipments usually Wed - Friday - just call but some good choices too

as you can see I usually make my rounds in alpharetta and duluth on thursdays and fridays

fish store and more is expensive no doubt at it maybe b/c its in buckhead usually I use that as my last choice

marine fish in marietta is very similar to fish store and more in price but I just like the people more at marine fish so I tend to buy there when I'm visiting my parents.

nemo.....probably best price out of all the LFS but really have to pick your fish I'm probably there examining the fish for at least 30 mins to 1 hour before I actually bring him home but Aaron is pretty nice if the store is not busy

other stores i go to but dont go back just b/c people didnt seem friendly but that's just me

use to make weekly trips to aquarium showcase but now just saving gas and in my cycle stage for my new nano

Keep in mind that when you become an ARC member you get discounts at these places. Petland Alph has a better than usual discount with 20% on fish and 15% on coral. Marine Fish has a 30% discount pretty much across the board. Petland Alph does have a lot of frogspawns and torches, but since the new suppliers they have a lot of diversity as well. Pretty much only Cap Bay and Posiedens Reef keep the level of coral stock they do now.
