Default stores to visit in the area

Hi there,
I'm visiting Dallas for a few days.

One, greetings from a member of the Minnesota Aquarium Society.

Two, can you give me some suggestions as to stores to visit in the area? I'm particularly looking for plants. They're also a lot easier to carry back in my luggage.

Thanks!

Greetings! You picked a great time to visit DFW. I like Rift2Reef in Lewisville. There are no stores in Denton that are worth your time. I'll let others speak on stores in Dallas.

The Fish Gallery in Dallas had a good selection when I was there recently. That's probably 20 miles or so from Denton, but it is a pretty good store.

True Percula in Arlington is probably even farther, but it is a nice store, too.

Don't look for bargains in those two places, but the quality seems to be good.

There's a good, old store near White Rock Lake, but I can't remember the name of it right now. I think it may be one of the oldest same-owner stores in the Metroplex. Maybe someone remembers the name of it.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the one I was thinking of, thanks.

2nd the Fish place... 100% fish survive rate for me. Lots of tanks, nice down home hospitality.

However, depending on the tank, they seem to go through Malaysian Trumpet Snail outbreaks, so you might have a few MTS travelers.

They're also more of a fish only place, their plant selection is non existent.
