Pet World

Nice little store. VERY helpful staff who looked up information in reference material to verify recommendations for a tank problem.
Not the biggest selection around, but a decent range. Fish section will be expanding in the future. They had just had a worker return from back surgery so they'd been short staffed and their tanks weren't in perfect shape, but the stock appeared quite healthy.
No guarantee on Saltwater, so helper recommended I wait until new stock comes to buy my sand sifting star as the only one there didn't seem to be acting normally. Also suggested I hold off on the banded shrimp purchase until they could get more coral-friendly varieties in to suit my needs. Honest folks. Who don't chase you out of the store like Neptune does.

VERY helpful staff, checking the references to ensure their recommendations for specific problems are spot-on. Agree that the tanks could use more cleaning, but they had a helper gone (back surgery) so they'd been short staffed.
Small selection (I arrived at the end of a 2 week period without stocking), but looked generally quite healthy. Understand the Fish section will be expanding shortly.
Look forward to doing business with them in the future.

Fairly good selection, and generally reasonable quarantine practices. These folks tell me that they quarantine most new stock at least a week before display; more if the stock comes in with problems, less if purchased locally from known sources.

I set up my 30 gallon mostly with stock from this store, and other than losing one tetra (out of a dozen purchased) about a week after purchase, all have been basically healthy. Lately I've seen more sick and dead fish in their tanks than I'd like, though.
