No, Total Pet is the highest in town!!! Pet City's fish are definately high priced, but their corals are often decently priced. I have found most of my hidden gems at Pet City.

Really? I don't even go in Total pet because their tanks look so bad. Pet City does have some nice stuff, I have a few nice finds as well, but they higher priced then Interior Reef and Reefkeepers, IMO.

JDigital - Pet City is only a few blocks away from where I live, so if your in the area...I'm curious to hear your feedback since you also have a 75.

75% of my nicest corals came from Pet City, and most of them were priced within 15% of what J&L would have had them priced at. Pet City is my favourite place to buy corals by far. In almost every order they get in there is one or two corals that are 'A' grade, and they aren't priced any higher than the others. Keep your eyes open and scoop up the good ones because the ones that aren't as nice as priced just the same!

I go to Total Pet if I want Nassarius snails as they used to be the only ones in town that carried them, but I think Interior Reef does now too.

I don't usually find that ReefKeepers has much for corals, but they tend to get nicely colored Euphyllias. Their coral prices are usually quite good.

Interior Reef gets lots of nice stuff for good prices as well. I haven't bought much livestock off him mainly due to my tank being full.

I live in Winfield and drive to Kelowna everday, its not that bad! :P

Complete Pet Mart.. Another place I didn't know about! I stopped in AJ's a couple weekends ago while I was driving through. I was very suprised with their selection of marine tanks (15 tanks), but how well kept the whole store was, along with a very good selection of reptile and other pet supplies. Also has the biggest selection of marine dry goods, unless complete pet mart has more :P

No...AJ's has more drygoods...they are planning an expansion into their basement which would allow them to take the store to about 20 - 22 SW tanks. Don't know when it will start though.
