 Hello any Portland LFS recommends? Hi all, Just joined this week, determined to start tank which is more likely FOWLR and some hardy inverts. Looking for plenty of advice, and any recomendations on LFS in Portland Oregon area. Thanks, Evan  |

| Re: Hello any Portland LFS recommends? Hello Evan, I spend alot of time at Seahorse aquarium. Woody and his crew are great, prices are good, selection is fantastic but most importantly he will not try to "sell" you. His team is very dedicated to the well being of the animals  I have spent many hours picking his brain and much of what I learned was from him! I think he has been in the hobby for 30 years or more!!! I am also a big fan of Up Scales in Tualatin, Tom is the best. Stay far away from Petco. Have fun! Jessi

| Re: Hello any Portland LFS recommends? Thanks Jessi, I was thinking of heading to Seahorses today. I was at upscales ages ago so I know that one too. I never go to petco they are evil, I grew up here and know the demise of many pet stores thanks to them. Have you been to Waves Reef, Hollywood or Soutas? Just wondering. I am going to see Woody first then might hit Waves and Hollywood at the later today. I will post my thoughts. Also I like World of Wet pets he only carries aqua cultured saltwater creatures which as a scuba diver I respect. Thanks for the recommends! -Evan |

| Re: Hello any Portland LFS recommends? Good Morning Evan, I actually have been to Hollywood several times. They have a beautiful store, sometimes thier prices are a little high but not always. I purchased "Ruby" my flame angel for $65 from them over a year ago and she has always been healthy and STUNNING! I went to Waves over a year ago, I enjoyed talking to the owner (notice his cool tatoos) but I wasn't that impressed with the selection. The fish I purchased was a very small and very expensive blue tang that died the next day. That was over a year ago and I think they had just opened so in fairness to them I should give them another shot . Let me know what you think. I have never heard of Soutas where are they located? I am currently looking for a fiji puffer, aka blue hawaiian puffer. If you don't mind let me know if you see one when you are out and about today. It has to be med/large so my oversized Lion dosn't enjoy him as a tasty snack. Have fun and let us know what you get... Thanks, Jessi
