I do live in Alabama now. I hope the store in Huntsville is decent because that will be the closest to me.Yes I do believe your from Alabama or somewhere close? Same for me. So I drive to Birmingham, Huntsville or Atlanta
That's what I figured.. I joe it's it the employees.. as they all seem to know and if they don't they ask or look up.. it's def overhead big guysI've met some amazing people who work at Petco stores. They are eager to learn, ask lots of questions, do reading online, etc. The problem is they are being handcuffed by corporate policies that doom most of their SW fish. If the store managers had more leeway, many fish could be saved just by employing some common sense fixes which are alien to corporate stooge types.
I was just there yesterday.. a little expensive but very very nice set up.. and clean.. very nice owner.. he said they were moving soon down the road and it's going to be a lot bigger.. but said they will carry more freshwater along with saltwater and birds and reptiles.. I honestly wish he would stick to saltwater and some fresh like it is now.I do live in Alabama now. I hope the store in Huntsville is decent because that will be the closest to me.
I meant everybody Because most of them haven't learned yet. I figure as a business, they'll either do better, or stop doing it.I do not buy from them.. I learned my lesson a long time ago..
agreed. Take it to reputable review sites. facebook sadly now is actually one of them. If your store is bad tell the manage ment. If the dont fix it yelp. It does get thier attention. I would treat and business that way.One can open up a can a worms by acquiring and the posting of images on social media without the consent of the business. One of the reasons why some forums do not even allow Petco themed threads.
I highly doubt anyone from Petco is going to be upset about pictures from their store being posted without consent. If it helps these fish then so be it.. but first of all.. I didn't take a Petco picture and use it from their site. This is my picture I took with my phone and I have never read a sign that states customers are not allowed to take pictures of our fish.. sooooooo let them do what they need to do.. if my post is offensive please remove it.. I had no idea I would be ruffling feathers from Petco employees or from someone whom has invested in the stock trade of Petco and isn't happy with my post.. a couple of people have helped me many times with my sick fish from Petco. And I found it disturbing to see this kind of situation for the fish.. so I wanted to share it.. that is all..
If this the case save the gas and order off line lots of great sponsors on here like @CherryCorals and many others!Haven't started buying fish yet but Petco is the only seller within a 40 minute drive of me. They don't look that bad but they sure don't look good. I plan on taking the drive when it is time.
Is this from the bag water or did you take a separate sample?My local Petco''s are pretty good and attentive to the marine livestock. Today, I went to a different LFS and bought a medium size yellow tang. Tangs has always been my favorite. Anyways, he looks very healthy and has no parasites or injuries that can be noticed. After I get him home, I test the LFS water and SG''s were at 1.023 which isn't that bad. I usually run at 1.024 or1.025. Next, I checked ammonia, none in my tank but LFS had a .50 reading which isn't good. My nitrates were around 20ppm which is OK for.a FOWL tank but the LFS nitrates were over 180ppm. It was the brightest red I've ever seen using API test kits. The real shocker to me is pH is at 8.4 which is about perfect for a marine tank but the LFS had a pH reading of 7.6ppm . I didn't even know a marine fish could live with 7.6ppm. He seems lively and is exploring everything. Hope he makes it.
