Default New Petco.....

Our new Petco was a bit of a dissapointment. The aquarium supplies were
excellent but the number of tanks was not large and the selection of fish
small. I did get 5 really nice black neons, that was all.

Our local one is about the same, definitely less than PetsMart has for
all fish and supplies.

=========================
In my area PetsMart still has the biggest and best selection of fish
followed by PetSupermarket. The Petco in Nashville has a much larger fish
dept. but it's a long drive and the PH is drastically different than I have
here. Acclimation to my water takes too long and the losses are always high
so I don't go there anymore.

Much as I hate to sound preachy...
Support your local fish shop instead. Can usually find better stuff,
similarly priced, and will be supporting a local business in doing so.

======================
These are all local stores. My country is bursting with new shopping plazas
and Malls. We have a new Petco, and a new PetsMart is opening around the
holidays. We already have a PetSupermarket and an older PetsMart I shop all
the time. :-)

As for mom and pop shops, we only have one good one and it's quite a drive.
They're more expensive on everything and don't guarantee the fish so I
seldom buy more than aquarium plants there.
