LOL, he's joking.....

I'm talking about the puppies.......I don't support stores who support irresponsible breeding.

But this thread isn't about that. Okay ?

The seahorse thing made me laugh. The koi pond certainly does look like it will be impressive.

Ok. But I wouldn't support them either, if this thread was about that. Which it's not.

How big is the salt water section compared to their old one? Also, is the store 100% up and running again or did you guys get a sneak peak?

Is it safe to buy livestock from them yet or should I wait a while?

Did anyone else feel like they were in a prison yard with the video cameras every 2 feet from each other all around the store?
There saltwater section still sucks and is sad i think....They still put them in those tiny tanks
U would think with a new store they would have upgraded the tank sizes but i guess not....

The tanks are tiny, the tanks are filthy, the tanks are full of dead livestock... Same ol pisces, just in a nicer wrapper.
