B.B. Fish & Pets

[Darkwynd]

Anybody have any feedback on B.B. Fish & Pets on 1960? I pass by there twice a month on my way to my comics fix, so it'd be easy for me to frequent.

Aquatic World on Jones isn't too far out of my way, either. Last I heard everyone was giving it a thumbs up.

Aquatic World...I give it a thumbs done. Everytime I go in there the guy working is sitting at the desk...smoking...inside.

B.B. Fish and pets...never been there?

Asian dude owns it. Had a store on 249 back in the days. Known him for over 10 years. Deals with more salt water than fresh, but if you looking for common stuff he got it.

Seen better, seen worst.

does any one know if empire tropical fish & pets is still around??

[TaTeR ToT]

as far as aquatic world goes, i think they pretty much suck.

i thought their stock of uncommon fish would improve, but their stock is about the same as petsmart.
nothing unusual at all.
which is very dissapointing.

b&b is right down the street from me, i have gottne some maylaysian driftwood from themin the past, but thats about all thats worth it.

they do have some killer sw fish.
but their fw is severly lacking.

would empire possibly be the lfs on Bammel N. Houston Rd. and N. Houston Rossylyn Rd.
On Hwy 249?
if so i believe your thinking of Tropical Fish & Pets Which is Probably hands down the most disgusting pitiful excuse for a lfs there has ever been.

fricking roaches everywhere, every tank has sick beaten decaying and dead fish and looks like poo has accumulated for 3 months in each tank.

Tropical Fish and Pets has to be a store front to move money untaxed.

That can't be a real fish store.....it just can't be.

is that the small store thats run by a rude little asian? i think ive been there. he had a tank full of red devils and blackbelts. it was sad because they were all over 10"

Bryon is the guy you will usually find minding the store over at Aquatic
World. The store has had some issues with the city, so I heard...can't say for sure about that, but I am a bit disappointed with them to tell the truth....

BBs is another plain jane fish store...maybe salt water folks can say more, but as far as fresh water goes....not too exciting in my humble opinion.

LFS ran by a little Asian? That's 9 out of 10 stores in Houston.

the store im thinking of was on south main....

[Nickintex]

the store im thinking of was on south main....

Was that the one that was near the Fiesta on South Main and South Post Oak? There used to be a K-Mart in the area.
Or South Main off of 610? That was Empire Tropical Fish.

That sounds like the pet store that used to be on Smith and Elgin downtown near Montrose.
