Okay Folks-
I'm new here (semi-new to Houston compared to some on this board- been here only 7 years)- and after reading this forum for the past few days I see a few people have had in mind this same idea...
My thought is Saturday March 17th we do a small Fish Store tour of Houston- more specifically North/Northwest Houston and end it at the new Village Tropical store: Fish Gallery!
Yes I know that HLA's auction is on Sunday the 18th- which is part of my reason. This allows us to visit all of these stores, see where they are located and what's there, and NOT spend ourselves into massive debt because we all plan to do that the next day!
Plus on my self-serving side, my wife will be in London on a business trip and this will be the one weekend I can do this easily! :P

Now my thought of a Route --based of this forum's Fish Store Map:
Start-
1. Sunny's Fish and Pets - whenever they open
2. B B Tropical Fish Pet
3. Aquatic World
4. Leo`s Tropical Fish
5. Aquarium World
6. Fish Gallery
End-
Of course this list is up for debate- since some know whether it's worth visiting some of these stores or not-
Also I was thinking of taking pictures at some of these stores (or at least out front if they won't allow pictures inside) to post here, with a basic review of what each store offers and their hours- but as mentioned in another thread before- not an opinionated store review-
I don't tread on fish store judgement (quality, ethics, etc)- I just want to know the facts and leave the rest to each person to decide.
Plus I think this trip would allow some of us to meet each other before the HAS auction so we have some people we feel can talk to and hang out with there, especially for the really shy folks on the board. (Reality is I'm not one of shy types- I'm the guy who normally has to make the ice breaker at the functions)
Anyone interested in this???
(basically I'm doing this Saturday and just thought could make it a group event)
