How big is the salt water section compared to their old one? Also, is the store 100% up and running again or did you guys get a sneak peak?

Is it safe to buy livestock from them yet or should I wait a while?

Did anyone else feel like they were in a prison yard with the video cameras every 2 feet from each other all around the store?
There saltwater section still sucks and is sad i think....They still put them in those tiny tanks
U would think with a new store they would have upgraded the tank sizes but i guess not....

The tanks are tiny, the tanks are filthy, the tanks are full of dead livestock... Same ol pisces, just in a nicer wrapper.

Tiny tanks are never good, especially in a store that sells puppies. I would think any reefer with a conscience would boycott a store selling puppies. Not that this thread is about that, but it should be a consideration when dealing with any pet store. Poor puppies.....

So you are saying i lack a conscience then, because i strongly support some stores that sell puppies. Thanks guy. Can you feel in the ill-informed judgemental love?

I was at Pisces on the Thursday that it had opened. Didn't see any dead fish at least in the SW tanks I was looking at. Honestly I thought the store looked great and had no problem with the tank sizes. They had a combination of larger and smaller tanks. The tanks didn't look any smaller than the ones I see at Golds....

But if theres a trendy name & price >400$ - then nope... Sorry...

Not all of you fish guys have knowledge about the statistics on the dogs that end up in shelters, I understand that.

Even just watch Animal Planet, please....

I used the term BYB, but these are just mini-puppy mills, supplying pet stores.

When you buy a "'friend" for the 10-15 years you hope for, do you not want some kind of good breeding behind that? That eliminates the health, temperament issues ?

Obviously, with floor mops, not so much....maybe that is the difference.

*** Rescue before you buy at a pet store, yes.
