I am going to travel to the U.S in a few weeks. I will be in Rhode Island for about two weeks, and I wanted to check out a couple of LFS in the area. Anyone know few LFS worth paying a visit in R.I. ?

| Rhode Island as quite a few excellent stores -- I know because I wholesale fish to many of them. Some really good ones are: Rumford Pet and Aquarium -- East Providence Critter Hut (2 stores) -- Narragansett and North Kingstown Creatures Creatures Creatures -- Slatersville If you want to see marines, there is a great all-marine store in Seekonk, Ma -- right over the RI border -- called Coral Reef

| Thanks David, I never heard of an all marine store. I will definitely have to pay a visit to that one.

That's awsome your're visiting USA! My family several generations ago lived in Ontario, Canada. Good luck on finding a good store.

| I just got back from my trip a few day's ago. I was only able to visit one of the stores mentioned above. Rumford Pet and Aquarium out in East Providence. Great store. Thanks for recommending it David. I also visited another LFS over the bridge out in Fall river MA. Both places have fantastic tanks with many of them planted with live plants. Something that I rarely see here. Rumford had a stunning Discus tank that was fully planted and looked fantastic. Most of all the staff were really nice and seemed really knowledgable. Any Fish store that can keep a planted Discus tank up and running long term must have staff that knows what there are doing IMO. I also loved the town of Providence. A lot to do and see. A small town with a big city feel to it. I will definitely go back. I don't travel to the US much but I am certainly going to make an effort to do so going forward.

Glad you had a good trip here, and especially that you enjoyed Rumford. Maurino Viveiros, who is assistant manager of the store and manager of the fishroom, is a serious fishhead, and his fishroom is great. I see him every week, and I will pass on your comments to him.
