Petsmart is getting better, but no major leaps yet. I am slowly seeing smarter employees, better service, and higher quality fish.

Sorry to be a downer but a petsmart near i was thinking of striped rafeals for my aunts tank and the guy comes up and says "you know all catfish are algae eaters."

Hopefully the tide has turned.

My best experience with petco was buying 2 aqua clear 500 filters worth at least $80 each for only $24 each (when I realized the mistake I had to go and buy the second one lol) do to some discount error they had in the register... So sometimes I am thankfull for their ignorance lol but actually, the one near me went from being horrible (all the fish had ick) to great the last time I went the employee gave helpful advise and all the fish looked healthy I was amazed!! Mabye they have been checking out MFK forums =)

The petsmart by me has good healthy looking fish. Some of the employees are ok and some just plain dont know though. The petco is a diff story here though......there is one kid who keeps SA cichlids that doesn know his stuff though. Hit or miss kinda deal I think...

petco near me is getting alot better. they are actually have a batfish available that has been alive for a good amount of time. but the petsmart near me is horrible, they'll sell you a pacu for a 30 gal tank (says it right on their card).

thanks for sharing this uplifting story! I wonder if we will get a newbie posting a pissed off message about how the guy at the store refused to sell them a fish hahaha!

Just like everyone on here has said. It is 90% employees/managers of the particular store in question. I have five petsmarts within a 30 minute drive for me. Three suck, would never buy anything from them and 2 are awesome. On the flip side to that I also have five mom and pops and 3 of them suck with 2 good ones. Petsmart is just an easy target for people to blame and ripoff.

But to be honest I should say I do have a vested interest in petsmart.
