The best and the worst in Portland.
BEST- Cayes Aquarium
13730 S.E. Division
Cayes Exotic Pets (http://cayesexoticpets.citysearch.com)
At least one of the owners is usually in the store and the staff is extremely knowledgable and helpful. They know their customers and the fish they keep. On more than one occasion they have saved me much grief by dissuading me from buying fish they knew could be a problem in my tank.
Mostly freshwater, but a large selection of saltwater as well. Good quality fish, excellent variety, good return policy.
WORST- CB's Tropical
181'st and East Burnside
Beautiful display tanks in their lobby. It's too bad the fish for sale aren't nearly as nice. Staff is less than helpful, even when you are the only person in the store. Small selection of fish and many times they look sick or are in dirty tanks. Prices aren't bad though.
