Sherman Tank

Not sure where this store is actually located currently– it’s moved around a few times over the last few years. But if you can find it, you should go in immediately. Even if you’re not «into» fish, it’s a fun store to walk around in and look at everything.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they know their stuff. Store is clean. They have a guarantee on fish for a day or two so if they die right away (and it’s not your fault), they’ll replace them for you.
We’ve bought a ton of freshwater fish from Sherman tank, mostly cichlids which are wicked aggressive little punk fish who like to kill each other. They ended up all being killed by the alpha fishy, Cujo, who ended up dying after several happy years of fishy life. We never got around to replacing the fish. But if we ever decide to get back into freshwater fish, Sherman Tank is where we’ll go (assuming we can find it!).
