There are several good LFS in the area, and it all depends how far you want to go. Some with a good selection are:
Tropical Fish World in Gaithersburg
House of Tropicals in Glen Burnie
Ricks in Frederick
Super Petz in Annandale
Congressional Aquarium in Rockville
Do a search on the forum. I'm pretty sure there was a thread not too long ago about all the local stores, right around the time that Scales closed.

For any type of piranha, your best best would be www.riverdalepets.com. Great selection of all types of Ps and other predators.

You won't find piranha in any VA store, they are illegal here. Not sure why, but they are so you won't find 'em in VA.

Both tropical fish world and congressional in rockville normally have a few baby red bellies. I have seen small aros in TFW but never congressional. I would call before you went there though. I have been to river dale pets before and it is a mess there. They have loads of piranhas but I was a little upset with the condition of the place and how many cloudy tanks I saw dead fish in. If you buy from there I would strongly suggest you use a quarantine tank. Good luck finding what your looking for.

Want Piranha?
Willing to take a Road Trip that would be well worth it?

They also ship.
ECC and NJAS joined in a Pet Shop Hop earlier this year and this is one of our stops.
Have you thought about a Manueli?

Pristine Aquarium is 5 miles from Wally's and Superpets is 3 miles from wally's. Both these stores have a good fish collection. I prefer Pristine Aquarium. There are plenty of fish stores close. I did not know about the closing of Wally's. That sucks they were a good source for tanks and equipement. Are they completely gone?

For piranhas, I'd say your best choice would be Riverdale Pets. They have a huge selection of sizes and different types. They also have arowanas, I believe.
