Petcetera

I filled out the comment card.

IMO they charge too much for there fish, even though they're two for one who would pay $40 for a clownfish, do the math and any dummy can figure out that they aren't getting a deal at all. Thats why there fish don't sell, and eventually perish in their poor living conditions.

Petcetera 136 (SE, on 130ave) should never have set up saltwater tanks in that store.

Petcetera 103 (Macleod and 99th) has 2 managers personally trying to make a difference, but with lack of funding coming in for improvements, doesn't help. A new skimmer will be set up asap, and the UV sterilzers are supposed to be getting looked at.

As for the prices, some are not bad... and they have 3 for the price of 1 sales, and that is decent. If you catch a fish they day it arrives, they are healthy as can be.. If you buy a fish that has been ina petcetera for a couple weeks, its gotta be sturdy than a tank!

The hardest part is trying to find staff that will work for near mininum wage, and try to educate them on something that needs experience to understand. Hence Petland not carrying saltwater fish, imo.

As for the fish they get, when the order comes in, headoffice makes the final decisions, and will send what they want, not what the stores wants. So buying that tang could be a good idea, as it may not get replaced...

you must work for dan if you know them as 136 and 103.

I buy dog food there all the time, but would never concider buying even a snail from them.
