I got around 80% of my CA/SA cichlids from somethingfishy. Super clean tanks and shop. Plus rare cichlids like my Golden Jag. Thanks Steve for coming to the Land!

Thanks for sharing Steve. Loved seeing the breeding setup and the collection of metaframe stuff too!

I have been in the hobby including the business over 38 years. also been to SA collecting, Africa diving Malawi and Australia great Barrier reef and rainforest. Been fortunate to do what I have loved most of my life. Support your LFS we are a rare & dying breed. :)

Something Fishy Inc. Wow a metal frame tank. Brings back memories. My 1st tank was given to me as a hand me down and it was a 10 gal metal frame with a corner bubbler.

I also started out with the old metal framed and slate bottomed tanks! Kind of dates us, doesn't it? LOL I loved those tanks. Heavy as all heck though. And yup, the little corner boxed filters. I was so dumb back then. Always threw away the filter floss when cleaning them, and the charcoal. Must have been crashing my cycle every time. Ugh. The hobby has certainly come a long way, hasn't it?!

Something Fishy Inc._ Dang bro you got the best shop ever, even most people in the hobby with tanks at home don't keep them this nice

I've been getting fish from Dave almost the whole time he's had the store and I've also been downstairs it's mind blowing if you love chiclids. Dave and staff have always been friendly and there all very knowledgeable. If you love chiclids this is the place for you. I will always patronize his esablisment.

Thanks for sharing Steve. I got a basement tour from Dave a few years ago when I visited, he's got a real impressive setup and a great store. It's always worth a visit to the store if you are in the area.

I have met Dave Hale and he takes care of his fish. I would definitely buy from him

I gotta say, this fish room is just beautiful

Awesome place and owner is very involved. Would love to visit the store and buy some of the fish.

I love to see people still so passionate about doing things RIGHT. the care can be seen and that's what matters. Great Job and all the best

The pvc that floats is called cellular core and if ya plumbing with it you have to glue the ends because it wont hold a air test lol

There are very many tanks here. - Chuan
