Petco

[vinny]

I went in last night to buy some salt (for my 10gl) and you have to walk by the tanks they looked empty,hard to tell with the caked on green and slime alge on the glass so one of the workers started to clean the glass i think just because i stoped to look in and questioned the alge (light brown stringy with bubbles).Their answer it's fine, but the way he was cleaning the glass with a paper towel so i reached over grabed a scrub brush off the rack and told him this might work a little better.When he cleaned out one of the tanks i saw 3 2-3 inch derasa clams,but i had to walk away they make it easy to fight off temptation.

Because the closest mom and pop to me dosn't carry my salt and any salt that they do carry is double is price and when you walk in they just staire at you and at that time thay were already closed.Petco is my last resort believe me i would love to live closer to NH.

BINGO! McDonalds is aweful for you and your kids but you still go because it is convinient. Same with Petco...They always have the food I need for my dog. They suck at fish, but they feed my dog...

I admit, every fish in my tank is from Petco..

I bought a bunch of mixed damsels to cycle with and never went much further with fish, 2 ocellaris, a neon dotty, and a fire fish, all happy healthy.

Mostly I'm cheap, and ther eis a guy at my local petco that is real nice.

i don't eat at mcdonalds and i don't buy fish from petco. both are risky business ventures and i would not want to support either. i am not bashing those who do, just a personal preference. i have also only been to one petco, the one in cambridge. they do have decent prices on cat toys, but the cat food and cat litter are a little pricey.

Anything alive in a Petco tank that's been there more than a few weeks can survive anything.....

Yeah, my GB female maroon clown is actually from petco. That was 2+ years ago. It's an a** kicking fish!
