This place is good to stop by every once in a while, they always have cleaner shrimp for cheap and usually fireshrimp sea hares and stuff like that. They get their firsh in on sunday and usually by mid week they are gone. The coral selection used to be great for cheap prices because they didnt even know what they had but nowadays they dont get much coral anymore.

Half of my live rocks in my 180 came from that store when it used to be $4/LB, lol...I was there yesterday. They didn't have much. Last week I purchased a 6" long purple tang from them; he was in their display for about a year and a half.

They have the world's LARGEST aptasia farm!

Seriously I have never seen so large, and so numerous aptasia anywhere.

At one time Pets was a nice place to shop with moderately priced
fish and corals. There were some changes to the staff and the tank maintenance went downhill. Some of the staff were very condescending
and made you feel uncomfortable shopping there. I like to window shop but I will not go there anymore. The Aiptasia is rampant throughout their
tank systems.

Some of their staff now works at Aquarium Adventure.. :

I guess they make more money selling puppies and dog food, because their tanks looks like crap and the new staff knows nothing about Saltwater fish.
