Unfortunately both of those guys don't know anything about saltwater. I try to teach them something everytime I go there. I want then to get rid of that anemone problem and get some more diversified livestock.
I guess it is hard to hire knowledgable people for minimum wage.

They Suck They Sold Me A Half Bleached coral when i didnt know anything about corals


Also they know nothing over there i look like a pro over there and im still learning

 

[vinny]

i had to bring this thread back because i just remembered something, one of the workers their i asked him a stupid question, i said would the sabae clown rub on that type of anemone? and the guy said yea but only clowns and triggers rub on anemones :splitspin

 

[Paul B]

I wonder what kind of trigger that is? :bablefish

I was at pets the other day. I bought 2 bartlets, 1 rose anemone(large) and a redferd goby. What a difference. They hired a guy from Fish Town(Jay) to run they fish dept. Honestly a month ago I went there and it was pure crap(ich, dirty, crappy selections, and the staff didn't know to much and still don't except for jay) It seems to somewhat better now. He seems to know his stuff. Just my 2cents.

Ever since the 2 knowlegeble workers high tailed it to Aquarium Adventures and they elimnated the 25% off discount, there has been no good reason to go back.

 

[figgy]

Pets had a 25% discount? or did Aquarium Adventure stop doing the 25% discount with membership?. Aquarium adventures pricing is so unreal even with the 25% discount. The only time I will shop at Aquarium adventure is in December when they have the 40% off. Nice stuff though and there staff really does know there stuff.

Glad you think so.:biglaugh: Or could it be that I keep going to Aquarium Adventures at the wrong time.:biglaugh: Anything is possible.
I haven't been to New Hyde Pets, think I'll stop by one of these days.

"Had" is the key word. But yes, they had for at least 2 consecutive years a sign posted for 25% discount on livestock.

I was there today for my monthly dog food run, the place does look a little better and had few nice fish, the muticolor angel and helfrichi fire fish were very tempting :Yikes:. They also have a lot of larger Hawaii butterflies.

Look for Jay and ask for the manhattan reef 10% discount.

How much were the helfrichi? Surprised they even have these.

 

[cali_reef]

$139 and the multi color is $149, I have never seen these fish in any LFS in NY.

 

[marrone]

I've haven't seen a helfrichi fire fish in a long long time. I have seen Multicolor angels in NYC, Petland to be exact.

Petland? How much were they? I told them the price of the muticolor is high, they are selling them for $89 on liveaquaria.

 

[marrone]

I think they were going for $129. They never seem to sell and eventually just die.

Cali need's bi-focals :lol2:

Actually they have 1 of each. Overpriced firefish is $129.99 and colorless pygmy is $139.99
