RE: what to look for in a pet shop (?)

I know everyone will say its the staff that makes a pet shop.  But I'm
always looking for:

1) Vibrantly healthy fish and plants.
2) At least a few species above the usual now and then.
3) A nice saltwater reef and a plant tank with CO2 with the filter systems
visible and explained.
4) Some of the nicest shops are those that specialize, i.e. cichlids, salt
