Good luck in the game! I have to say that spruce grove team is the best high school football team I've ever seen, I think they would beat the golden bears (not that they are any good lol)

I personally wouldn't waste your time with Blue World. When I went there the lady working was fairly rude, and there was a dog running around the store floor. The selection isn't bad, but I think they could upgrade their tanks there for quality housing/water for the fish.

Default re: fish stores

I have had nothing but a GOOD experience at BLUE WORLD. Shannon there is great and knows her stuff.

I am surprised that no one has recommended Aquarium Illusions in the west end.

If you are in Spruce Grove, and are on your way to Calgary, then AI is in your path.

It's on 170 st and Mayfield Road, in a strip mall just north of the Mayfield Inn. Very good selection and knowledgeable staff.

Shannon no longer works at blue world, but it is a nice store. No one said anything about AI or Red Coral because she was looking for stores on the way out of town along Calgary trail. If you go down highway 16A which turns into stony plain rd from spruce grove, AI would be back tracking. Although it is a nice store with great selection as well as Red coral of course, I do most of my shopping at those 2 stores, unfortunately they aren't on the way out of town.
