Does anyone know of any fish stores in DC? I have been to Riverdale Pets but am looking for others. I imagine there has to be at least one somewhere. I though Chinatown maybe, but can't find one.
Only one of which I am aware is Petco in Cleveland Park. Tropical Lagoon in Silver Spring isn't that far from DC, but it's definitely not in DC.Does anyone know of any fish stores in DC?

Andrew, over 20 years ago there was an Aquarium store in the heart of Chinatown, but it no longer exists.
Jumbie, I believe the store you speak of on Wisconsin has been closed for a while.
Phil, the store in Va is pretty good,but it's sad that there's really not Aquarium stores in DC. I don't know why?
Maybe we should start a business there. LOL!

DC has Petco, after all, not much of a fish store, but certainly one that would be affected by a ban.I WAS THINKING THAT IT MUST BE A RESTRICTION THING TOO. IT JUST SEEMS RATHER ODD THAT THERE ARE NO FISH STORES IN D.C. I FIGURE THEY MUST HAVE HAD A BAN OR SOMETHING. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE.
There is also the not so small issue of transporting that sort of stuff in the District - most places you can't even load/unload infront of a store. Can you imagine hucking a tank to you car parked in the garage 10 blocks away?
Animal Hut was the only fish store I had have ever seen in DC.When they closed it was because they lost their lease and had to move up the street from were they had been for years,unfortunately this happened at a time when there was a big upscale growth spurt and rent for that area went sky high leading to their closing.I'm surprised that there aren't any fish stores in DC,maybe there are other restrictions that aren't so obvious(tax,banned species,etc) that would keep anyone from opening up a store.
Used to be a place on U st, NW but I think it's closed.
