Northern Indiana LFS's
What LFS's do we still have?
Midwest Corals in Osceola- The best I know of.
Martin's Pet & Garden in Elkhart - Small selection but friendly.
Exotics & Aquatics ??? - Gone from Niles, Will they reopen in SB???
Gills at the Farmers Market
Age of Aquariums in Goshen - should I even list them?
Sea Dwellers in Angola
Aquatechniques
I'm missing the shops on the west side of the state.
Any others I'm missing?
Are there any decent shops in the Kalamazoo area?

Sea Dwellers is better than Exotics & Aquatics ever was, but not as good as Midwest Corals, if that helps. I rarely go there because I have no other reason to go to Angola.
They do have some nice stuff. If you ever get out that way, it's worth stopping for a look.

Aqua technique has nothing. If you can catch him while he is there you may be able to pick up a nice fish. As far as corals and drygoods, it is very slim pickings.
I thought I heard of a nice place in the Kalamazoo area, if it is still open maybe someone from up north will chime in.

Yeah, but sometimes you might need a laugh. Besides, you have to admit, he's certainly an interesting dude.

A quick look at the Michigan Reefers site & I found
Mothers Reef in Kalamazoo
MV Pets in Portage
V.I. Pets in Grand Rapids
Anybody been to any of those?

No kidding... he seems nice though. He told me a few weeks ago that the fire department stopped by, told him he was violating fire code because he was running all his tanks off extension cords, and so he hasn't had anything in a few months because of that. I guess he has the problem resolved now and is expecting to get stuff in soon??? I haven't been by since.

Yeah, its called 'Coral Reef'. I highly recommend it to anyone that goes through the area. I'm originally from down there and it is on the same level as Midwest Corals. Prices are hit and miss though on fish. Don't recall coral prices though. But, with all things, you get what you pay for usually!

Thanks Matt.
I googled them & found their web site: www.coralreefaquarium.net
I have family in the Fort Wayne area. I may have to plan a trip out that way.

LOL at Dave.
