where to buy goldfish

[tcnolan]

Hi...

I'm looking for a good pet store in Connecticut to buy a goldfish and
supplies for my son. Most of the stores near me I can't even walk
into let alone buy something.

Thanks,

Terry

For us, we got our goldfish at PetSmart, and got the supplies at Wal-Mart.

PetSmart seems to treat their fish nicer, and they seemed more knowledgeable.
Wal-Mart offered cheap prices, but shown by all the dead fish, they don't care
much for the fish...

Dear Terry & list:

I have gotten good fish from Wal-Mart - you have to look in **all**
the tanks for dead ones, 'cause they have a single water-circulation
system for all tanks in a store. A lot depends on the character of a
particular store's pet section manager.

I like to buy from a human being - like a local aquarium or pet store.
When I lived down on Navajo I used to go in to see a pet lady in
Gallup - where I am now there's no shop I would buy fish from. If I
need more I'll drive the 700 miles.

Look around, check out every pet shop in your home territory. If you
find a good shop with good fish, buy there. If you can't find one,
widen you search. Or post to the list: "Anyone know a good shop in
the XXX area?"

good luck
