Living Sea Aquarium in Park Ridge (www.livingseaaquarium.com) is a
really nice store, but overpriced IMO. I like to window shop there,
but I've never bought stock from them.

In the southwest suburbs, there is a hole-in-the-wall PetLand on 59
just south of Naperville with a surprisingly good stock of both fresh
and saltwater. The store looks like an explosion in a loading dock
(all PetLands do), but their fish department is far nicer than any
other in the area. And they don't carry just the 'standard' species.
They've had rainbow gudgeons, unusual plecos, a nice selection of
cichlids and rainbows, and apparently they're associated with a betta
breeder, since they have a nice assortment of fancy bettas.
