![]() I have wandered into a bunch of the stores in the past couple weeks.
Golds, smelt like smoke & whoever was working made it seem like I was imposing browsing the store. I did buy a couple coral frags the prices were right at $15-$19 & a jar of food I needed. big Als tanks were almost empty both on Fw & SW. I found a pretty Feather duster worthy of parting with $19.99. Pisces was full & so were their prices. If it hadn't been for a beautiful purple Veiltail Betta in a pathetic cup at the front My wallet would have stayed shut. But I parted with $5.99+GST Concepts I am wavering on. I had been in a few times b4 the join up with Wayne, and once since. That said I went into Riverfront once 6years ago looking at bettas & swore I would never go back. Not my place to judge but I can choose what businesses I want to personally support & what doesn't jive with me. That said their prices for frozen fish food can't be beat. Tried to find Ocean Creations again & even my newly updated GPS couldn't guide me there. Finally got P.O. After 1/2 hr of going in circles and crossed it off my list of places I might shop at. So I back tracked a bit & went back into Wai's for the 2nd time in a week. There were other people in the store but I got a smile. I wandered around drooling at the tanks brimming with beautiful corals. When he was done with the other customers we chatted. I can honestly say I can see both "sides" other posters are saying. I would have to say IMHO, this man is the most open & honest to goodness real human being I have met in a long time. We all have our good days & our bad, we all have different personalities that cause us to react to people differently. I appreciate this realness in my whole life not just in my fish keeping hobby. |

![]() Ocean creations is only 3 1/2 blocks west of Wai's on the opposite side of the street. If you are coming from the east on 16th Ave, go two blocks west of Center street and hang a left on 2nd Street. He is in the little strip mall. Can't miss it!

![]() weird I have been going to golds for 14 years and have never smelled smoking in there . On the other hand Wai and the oceans guy both smoke in store as it reeks in both stores . Does not really bother me that much its not like Im in the store for more than 20mins at a time .
To bad reef wonderland closed if only he wasn't charging such high prices he would still be here as he had really nice coral. But once again greed kills a store . As for writing a store off because your gps is ass seems pretty silly oceans is a great shop for fish corals are more common stuff and easy to find ![]()

![]() Its in the strip mall between the state farm building and the tnt market (1st and 2nd sr NW). The building has state farm written on the top so should be easy to spot.
