Ok, while not exactly local, I found myself in Rolla today. Mark and I found a store called Golden Fish Aquarium last summer. Hadn't been real impressed with the owner, but saw a lot of potential in the store. We returned today and found that it has been sold. The new owner, while enthusiastic, admitted that he really doesn't know that much about fish. But he is learning. And wow, what a great teacher he has found! He has a young man, Brandon, that is helping him in the shop. He knows more about the hobby than anyone his age I have met. The store looks so much better than it did last summer when I was there, and I was told that business is really starting to pick up.
Anyway, I have invited Brandon to join us here, so everyone behave!

I can stop buying fish anytime I want. Seriously.
