Just like the title says....anyone know of any good fish stores in the Fontana/IE area? My guy I go to is all the way in Brea. It'll be nice to be able to go to a place nearby sometimes at the spur of the moment.
Thanks for your insight.

I recommend Mystic... I have know Jeremy and his brother for a long long time. They always hook it up when I go there and they have a decent selection. If you want a crazy selection of corals, go to Coral Gazers in Tustin

Petworld in san bernardino recently got corals and they have always had saltwater fish but I don't like there fish cause they have a bad survival rate

Thanks everyone! I'll give Mystic a shot. Seems like only downside right now is their hours. 1400-1900 hours during the weekdays? Hopefully I can make it in there tomorrow.

Global Aquatics and Fontana Pets prices are extremely high for livestock.
Pet World has lots of fish but they continually overstock their tanks which is why their survival rate is so poor.

Jan's Tropical has a 10% coupon on their website.

Year after year I always mention that Global Aquatics has the best chance and potential of becoming and excellent all around LFS because of their warehouse setting environment however their prices are crazy high. $50 for a Yellow Tang. I can get one from Liveaquaria.com shipped cheaper.

There's a new store opening up in Rancho Cucamonga near Victoria Gardens. If you are familiar with the area its in the same plaza as Chronic Tacos, right next to the hotel there. Store should be open by the 1st of August.

Yeah, Jason is a great guy. I have bought a few frags from him at his new store.

I have also been to and have had good results at Shillingtons Aquariums in Calimesa. They have both fresh and salt water. They owner has always been cool with me. You can call ahead and see what he has beforehand. He is very knowledgeable to. I have only been there for fish. I would only make the drive after giving him a call. Not a large shop, but has clean tanks.

Hmmm, Rancho's only 30 minutes from me, I thought it was further. I might have to make a trip out there just to check things out. What are you hours on Sundays? Are you going to CFM or staying at the shop?
