    Native Houstonian

    Hi all, this board is fantastic first of all! I am a fish keeper originally from Houston, but now i live in cincinnati, ohio bc of work. I havent lived here for 20 yrs, but im in town to visit family. Im going to have some free time and would love some sugesstions on any local fish shops or aquariums that would be cool to visit. Im located in spring (77379) and would prob be willing to drive an hour in any direction. Thanks in advance and happy fish keeping!

                    Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
                    Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
                    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
                    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
