Does anyone know of a store that sells aquarium supplies and fish downtown (or the nearby)? I know there was a little store on Cass but last time I went by they looked out of business. | ||

There's a nice place on Warren, but that's way in(or nearby) East English Village. I seem to remember a lot of fish tanks there. There's also a Pet Supplies Plus on Livernois, but I think that's past McNichols. Not really at all near downtown, but still in the city. | ||

Deteamster is speaking of M&M Pet shop. However, I'm sure that's probably beyond your prefered range. Now, the only one CLOSEST to downtown would be in downtown Windsor. Otherwise, your next alternatives are M&M's, 2 in Grosse Pointe, A Pets Supplies Plus (In Palmer Woods) and the Dearborn PetsMarts. http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=Pet+Shops&near=Detroit,+MI&fb=1&view=map&cd=1&hl=en (Message edited by detroitrise on January 31, 2008) | ||

The one to which you refer on Cass WAS Birdtown, but now it is an antiques store. a cool one at that, BTW. | ||

http://www.fishnflush.com/ Mine has neon tetras and a red siamese fighting fish. The oak carved-painted muskie toilet seat is the topper! But their website is down... http://www.oakandchisel.net/ | ||

Jvrass, that is great! If I owned my home I'd get that for sure... Thanks for all the suggestions, the only one I was aware of was the PetsMart on Ford Rd in Dearborn. Also, Andylinn, I remember the antique store being next to Birdtown, I know I went to both in the same day two summers ago. Did they expand? | ||

If you lack transportation, you could always take the Woodward bus and transfer to Crosstown to get to M&M, if you're really desperate. | ||

I've got wheels, I just don't like sending money outside the city if I don't have to. Otherwise, I'd move to the 'burbs and save on taxes. | ||

Enduro, they are two different stores the one on the corner in the former pet store is Mantra Chinatown, and specializes in modern antiques from the 50's-80's and the other is Showcase Collectables which is just a fun store, I bought a really great mannequin from there, they also have a collection of records and vintage porn. Happy shopping everyone. |
