Default Riverfront Aquariums

Visited Riverfront today at their new location. Much better setup than the old store and a pretty good selection of livestock. One problem. The same old dude that works in the fish department. If you've been to the store you know who I'm talking about. The guy is definatly not a people person and he has quite an attitude to go along with it. Maybe he's not a bad guy once you get to know him but working in a retail store you'd think he'd be nicer to his customers. No problems with anyone else--Wayne's a nice guy and the ladies in the front also and came away with 3 Mexican turbo snails for $10.99.

I like the new set up as well but I must say that there price's are a little high for SW. There FW price's are reasonable.

Got the motor bike out for the second time today and this was one of my many stops. Agreed the only difference is the location. yes the turbos were cheap, but did you see the prices on some of the fish !
