New LFS - Anyone Been?

[Wblaze]

Someone just told me of a new local fish store in Virginia. It is KG Tropicals. Anyone been? I found the website below

They are a sponsor on a Cichlid Website that I was reading thru.
Very unimpressed.
Lacking pictures.
Calling Mbuna "Mbunas" (The plural of Mbuna is Mbuna).
Naming a Otopharynx lithobates an "Aristo Yellow Blaze".

Hopefully, for the owners sake, it improves.

I haven't been, but I think the place is somewhat promising. It is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but I don't know that a fish-only store can survive in a high rent area.

It isn't to the level of Dave's Fish or The Fish Hut. However I think it is/can be the type of place that appeals to the intermediate hobbyist. I also am encouraged that the owner started off as a breeder. The website could use more images and proofreading, but it seems to have solid practical info.

I have to go across the bridge to check it out. It's 35 miles due south of me.

I have been a couple of times and really like the place. It just opened so gotta give them a chance to set up completely but very promising. They are breeders and will be selling wholesale to anywhere. Awesome 240 gal cichlid tank setup with some real beauties.

As far as technical names versus common and the plural of mbuna????? Are you kidding??? You guys need a hobby! LOL!
