damo83 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've been in there quite a few times... when I was living up the Coast i'd always drop in if i was in Brissy. Always had great quality cichlids and friendly staff who know what they're talking about. Will have to drop in again soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetpetz Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I think its longer than 25 years. I'm a bit depressed to admit that I bought my first 2' tank from Atlas about 35 or 40 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunamad Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I am now not depressed knowing i am not the only old fart on this forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I think I brought (or my mum did) my first fish tank from Atlas when it was at the Grange. (probably 35 years ago). As far as I can remember (I am probably wrong) there were no other LFS on the northside at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 One of the shops I'd visit on my weekend bike rides Wavell heights...to Stafford....to Atlas/Grange....to top of the Hill at Everton Park....to Gaythorn....then into the Valley in James Street....then home with a couple of bags of fish on my pushbike....I was pretty fit in those days! Can anyone remember those shops??? None are there now! Atlas is the only Name left! Their current shop was a News agent when I was a kid :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
