Wow 15 days alive guarantee?? Do they have that at the retail stores?

 

[Awibrandy]

So do you request blue mushrooms, and the guy sends you what?

I asked at my neighborhood petco where they kept their water pumps, and I was taken to the hangon filters section. The guy insisted that the filters where pumps.

Now wait, when I get my bag with 25 cleaner shrimp in it, can I just dump them into the tank like they do, or do I have to acclimate them first?

:sigh: :sad2:

maybe these fish will be better off never setting a fin near one of the
petco store tanks. I have to believe they will be shipped from the suppliers
or one location.

I'm sure they're going to have one one central shipping location, like the other places do. They'll probably also have better people working for them, specially with the 15 day guarantee that they're offering. They may even outsource the fish/coral business or even do what some of the other places do, just order directly from the wholesales and have them ship for them.

 

[prattreef]

I am sure that is exactly what they will be doing, but but their retail locations don't exactly inspire confidence do they?

This is insane. People that shops at Petco should be shot.

While I do feel that our hobby isn't as bad on the environment as many like to blame us for, especially when compared to industrial issues, I have to say that I see this as a really bad thing. Reefs at these type of chain stores will only make these animals even more readily available and cheaper for people who really shouldn't be keeping them. Demand will overstress the reefs to a point of no return. What's next? Frags at Walmart? This is very sad to see. I knew it was only a matter of time once I saw "That Fish Place" selling SW livestock.
