This is a first class saltwater fish/reef store and it's on the Southwest side. They spared no expense on building this store and the animals are all first class. Prices are very good and the huge shark pond is good for keeping the kiddies occupied while you are looking at the fish and corals. Be sure to see Rob and tell him that Doug from hawkfish.org sent you.

I was told by the owner that this store used to be Splash of Life in Elgin. They had just opened when I visited there a couple years ago but they already had some nice corals and fish.

Palos Pet Shop (Web site not available) Family owned pet shop. Freshwater, saltwater fish, birds, reptiles and supplies. Small freshwater and saltwater fish selection. The store is not high tech but the quality of the fish are excellent. There are some rare finds, every so often and I have had very good luck with all of the fish that I have purchased from them. The have a small selection of corals and live rock. Prices on the fish are about average. The owner, Bill, is always helpful and friendly I purchased my nine year old (June 2007) Pinods Hawkfish from Bill way back then and still have him today.
