Stay away from that place. I used to volunteer there before I knew much, after the owner changed(about 2-3yrs ago)... but after I started to learn more.... I figured out that the way they keep their animals is horrible. I plead you not to support that place. Last I was in there, they had one SW fish, a clownfish, whom has never been for sale. The name has changed from Koi Pet Shop to "Evolution of Pets" because of the new owner, but from what I've seen(the staff numbers have dwindled, less customers, it seems to be going out of business slowly) they have not been able to change their sign...

I volunteered there for close to a year.... Evertime after that, that I've stepped in to there, it only gets worse. The owner also thinks she knows everything, and they've given out alot of incorrect information.

Sorry for the long rant, but just my 2 cents...

I'd reccomend something like Petcetera or PJ's over them any day.... But as we all know the best places in town are BA's and AI.

thanks Chris for the advice.

You're absolutely right, there's no place like BA or AI. I would consider places like AqFant and "Kois" 2nd rate, if not 3rd... (due to how they may treat their fishes.)

I guess theres no cheating reality. "You get what you pay for"!

Dad's fish room started bringing in some SW fish a little while back. Don't know if they still have any, but its worth a shot. There are on roughly 99St and 81Ave-ish.

I picked up a 2.5" Red Sea Sailfin Tang @ Dad's a few weeks ago. They definately are still doing saltwater. Apparently they are expanding and moving early in the New Year.
