As fantastic as some PetSmarts can be, they still have the same stock as the bad ones. Soooooooooo they all equally suck IMO lol

IMO you take risk when you buy fish from Petco, pet smart, and even LFS a lot of factors come into play as far how much stress the fish went through shipping the fish from from point A to point B , WC fish are less hardy than CB , and fish farms mass produce therefore keeping fish in crowded , and unnatural conditions. So when you buy a fish even though it looks fine may possibly harboring parasites, ich etc.

I live in Westminster, when is the dollar a gallon sale, as I said, I have a 60 dollar gift card there and I haven't used it yet

You live in Westminster? There's plenty of lfs's up in that area. I have to drive like 30-45 min to get to the stores up there. There's only like 2 in my area and their selections aren't very good at all

Interesting that that PetSmart has saltwater fish as none of the ones I've been to in this city ever have.

Sometimes you just have to take a ride for quality and selection. I too live far from any decent store. It takes me 45 min.+ to get to the good ones.

More importantly than any of this talk about lfs', you should be quarantining ANY new fish from ANY where in a hospital tank BEFORE they go into your main tank for at least 2 weeks.

Petco near me has always done fine by me. Tanks are always clean. Even if I encounter a dirty tank it os clean by the next day. Never bought a sick fish from them. They always have what I want in stock. Sorry you had a bad experience. I agree not all petcos are that bad

KRich I think that's cause he's talking about petco. I've seen salt there but never petsmart. I agree that different locations of chain stores have varying quality. The petsmart near me is terrible the one in the next area is great. So I'll take an extra few minutes to go. But also like someone said the chains all carry the same stock mostly. Good luck being surprised.

Okay,I typed the wrong store name.That was probably because they are both pretty much the same here....no saltwater.

My the closest petco is fairly decent, i dont see any dead fish, seen some sick ones, but the staff try their best to get them back to health. Again one store cant speak for all. I got 8 saltwater fish from Petco and they were all lively until i lost them on my move.
