LFS with marine fish in Northeast Mississippi?

[RickLRMS]

There are a couple of stores in Tupelo, Petco and Going be Fishin’ Exotic Pets. Anyone familiar with either? Any others in NE Mississippi?

They both don't have much stock for saltwater fish or corals. They do have dry goods though. Best bet is traveling east to Memphis or going down to Jackson.

What are some Memphis area options?

Desoto Aquatics is the only one I go to. There are others like memfish and main drain too, but I prefer Desoto Aquatics.

Thanks! I’ll make plans to check them out.

I also sell a bit of corals too. I'm from Tupelo, but live in Oxford!

I’d second Desoto Aquatics as the best in North MS/Memphis area. Second is Main Drain. Memfish used to be top dog, but new ownership has brought it down significantly.

I live in Pontotoc, so when I get to the coral buying point I’ll check and see what you have. I hope to get my RO/DI unit installed this week and then set up a quarantine tank, and the replacement sump (had an issue) for my 525 is due in tomorrow. I’m probably a couple months or more from coral. This will be my first saltwater tank and first tank in some twenty years.

You have a 525??

Yes. Bought it recently and I’m in the process of setting it up.

For sure desoto aquatics. Bought every fish and several Coral from Brandon. It’s in Southaven right off I55

From the Tupelo area myself. Gone fishin has some fish. I look every once in a while. They always have clowns other varieties are hit or miss. Petco has very common fish usually

 

[RickLRMS]

I checked out Gone Fishin’ and Petco three or four weeks ago. I’ll probably buy a couple of clown fish from Gone Fishin’ when my quarantine tank is ready.

Oh and welcome to the hobby. Nice to have more locals. There aren’t many of us.

Greg here in Jackson at Jackson Saltwater is awesome. Always a nice selection of corals and you get a lot for your money if you catch some his in house frag pieces. Prices on dry food are all in line with online pricing.

I'll check it out the next time I'm down that way. When we (wife and I) go to the "big city" it's normally the Memphis area where my wife likes to shop, but we occasionally are in the Jackson area for one thing or the other. Thanks for the info.

 

[Justin Swinney]

That shop in Jackson is a great one. If it wasn’t 3.5 hrs away I’d be a regular

Is the store in Jackson being talked about the one called Jackson Fish & Coral on Avery Blvd?
