Yup. I just don't have a choice. It's either that or petsmart/petco.

BTW, what does RMS stand for?
I'm not sure what it stands for..? good question. I could find out for you. I love the one in middleburg!! They have one of the best selections of freshwater! Only thing aquarium adventure has on them freshwater wise is in the african cichlid department. I still haven't bought a single fish from aquarium adventure and I have been there plenty of times. Only time I ever will is when they have 50% off fish and even then some species are pricey. LOL I'm waiting for the summer because thats normally when the crazy bichirs seem to roll through.

Don't you guys find aquarium adventure pricey?! I like RMS because of price and they arn't arrogant.


their stuff is pricey, however i joined their "fish club" when they had it on special for $4. it really makes their fish prices especially alot more reasonable.

i get 25% off all livestock/plants, and 10% off everything else minus live food and tanks. not too bad with that discount then, with few exceptions (meds being their biggest price hike it seems)


got one of my retics from there for $60 with the discount, a silver aro for $15, 3" chocolate cichlid for $3......cant argue with that.

What's the name of the place? I used to live in Greensboro and go back in the summer. I buy my fish from breeders and my supplies I buy on line.


Aquamains Fish Supply. Its on West Market Street in Greensboro.
 
I like privately owned shops a lot better, but once in a while I go to a chain store, as they are much closer for me. We have a Petco and a Petsmart, the Petsmart seems a lot better, but I know that can vary from town to town.

You can't beat the internet for some equipment, but I do most of my shopping in person. Trying to find 6' VHO's locally is impossible around here...
 
all i got is one mom and pop store sooo. you fill in the blank of where i go
 
I remember living in Salinas, CA and there was a Petsmart and Petland (I don't know if it was a chain), but I always went to Petland to look if they ever got anything new. I was only up there for 3 months, but I did buy a RTCxTSN from them. I remember that the Petsmart up there had Koi in their feeder tanks. So if anyone is looking for some koi...
 
I shop at both, but I don't shop at the chain store here in my town.

Having the cops called on me for no reason and them trying to steal around $150 of my money didn't real make me wanna go back...

I heard they're under new management because a ton of people complained about poor treatment, but I'm still not gonna support them in the least.
