Any good shops in Shreveport?

[dccordell]

I live around Monroe but taking a short drive to Shreveport sometime this weekend or Monday and was gonna stop by a good shop or two if there are any there. Any ideas?

there's only a couple of places that sell corals and fish. Aquarium Concepts and Petzone in Shreveport, and Critter Co in Bossier. Critter Co is pretty pricey though. I've got a pretty good selection of corals, let me know what you're looking for and maybe i can help you out

Yeah I ended up checking out Aquarium Concepts, but I thought he didn't have a whole lot to choose from, especially on the salt side. Nice display tank though...
I didn't know about Petzone or Critter Co so I might have to check them out next time I'm in town. I was actually there last weekend at Horseshoe but couldn't get there early enough to stop by any shops along the way.

My tank is still new... about 6 weeks old now. I've had a frogspawn and goniopora (sold as alveopora.. uh!) for about 3 weeks and they are both doing good. Clowns are in QT for about 3 more weeks, but they are doing good too. I'm not really looking for anything in particular... just trying to get my feet wet again with this tank so I'm thinking maybe some zoas or palys, rics, GSP... stuff like that. Unfortunately, the local shop here doesn't keep a whole lot of stuff like that in stock.

Do you order your stuff online, or find it locally?

What size system do you have?

Time to bring back this old thread because I'm headed back to good ol Shreveport in the morning! I'm gonna try to find Petzone and Critter Co.. just looking for some cheapish frags or larger corals.

Anybody have any other suggestions in Shreveport for salty things?

I'm not far from Shreveport but I rarely hit the LFS there. Some look to have potential but every time I drive over they don't have much in stock. Let me know if you come across anything good.

I usually end up at the casino when I go that way.

I love in Shreveport, too, and would be interested in selling or trading frags.
