Need some opinions/advice. My LFS that carry saltwater fish is Petco. Other nearest stores are minimum an hour away. I've had a nano AIO running for over a year now and the current fish in there came from my local Petco. I quarentined them first and they are still alive and well today. I set up...
Is this on par with other petco stores? I’ve emailed petco corporate about the poor quality of their tanks and literally not received an email back or an acknowledgement.
Unfortunately, they are the only place close to buy clean up crew in a pinch but I hate supporting them.
Twice now I’ve...
So I purchased a fish tang from petco and stupidly put it in my display, within 3 or 4 hours I noticed it had ich and immediately removed him, but I cannot get any other fish out it’s just not possible, how likely is it that it’s now I’m my display tank? I got him out pretty fast
I went to buy the coral that I last posted about but they did not have it, they however had this one and it looked interesting and unique and I have never seen a soft coral that looks like this, I have no idea if it is full extended are not in these pictures but I can say he was way shriveled up...
Backstory
So I’m working on a youtube documentary on why you shouldn’t support Petco. When I was visiting stores to record videos, I found a severely hurt Hippo tang that was on the edge of death. It was pretty obvious the 2 large Clarkis were beating her up even took a chunk of her tail off...
One of the big concerns people seem to have with Quarantine Tanks is the additional cost. After dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars on a Display Tank, the last thing many might be inclined to do is buy another set of equipment that they will only use infrequently...
After a trip to Petco...
Hi, I just bought a clownfish two hours ago from petco and recently put him in my tank. When I got him into the tank I noticed that his fins looked a little deteriorated. At petco he was in a larger tank with 2 other clownfish and a cleaner shrimp. I was wondering if someone knew what is wrong...
You may have heard by now but I have some of my own ideas why they are closing. Comment if you have some additional thoughts as to why they may be closing the doors at Drs. Foster & Smith.

Started using a 55 gallon tank in my basement to store some bleached coral and old live rock I've had curing in the garage.
Upped the ante by adding lights, throwing in some snails and a fire fish goby.
After a month the goby, snails, water, bunches of rock, old school lights, heater, and HOB...
Longtime lurker here, I'm setting up my newest nano reef tank, which I bought through petco because they were the cheapest re-seller. They ended up giving me 25$ in store credit, but in general I try to avoid purchasing any livestock from them as they don't take particularly good care of their...
Just found this post https://community.petco.com/t5/Aquarium/1-per-gallon-deal-April-2-2017/m-p/88421#M364 which confirms start date for this year's dollar per gallon sale is April 2nd. No end date mentioned.
