Agreed.

Can you PM me the name of that store as well?? I would really love to know where I can start buying livestock with guaranteed warranty!

No one in the city that I know of offers warranty on livestock of any sort. Sure, there are some stores that if you develop a great relationship with will cut you some slack if something dies, but typically marine livestock does not come with warranty in this hobby. Local fish stores would likely go out of business if they did. Kinda like what happened to Petcetera which did provide guaranteed warranty on all fish including their marine fish. That's something newbies should be aware of.

I know of 2 stores in Calgary that offer a "limited warranty" If the fish dies within 15 days they will credit you 1/2 the value, which to me is better then nothing.

We at Blueworld have 72hour live guarantee. I know many others don't.

Sorry about your experience you the other store.

Not sure if one of those is the same store that I thought had a similar guarantee... but only for 5 days.... until I read the fine print. "This guarantee does not apply to marine livestock"


Please PM me the store names if you don't mind Thanks.

Upon further investigation, the "warranties" are only on Freshwater fish, not marine. Sorry, figured if they warrantyed one type of fish, why not others?

price. fresh water fish cost 0.05-1.00 at wholesale. I remember reading a list where i worked and couldn't believe it. Thats why they can afford replace so many fish.

wondering how much is the membership and then how long would the warranty period be?

Please PM me. Thanks.

As an out of towner I have gotten to know some of the owners & staff at a few store in both Calgary & Edmonton. I like to deal with these particular store's because they ALWAYS treat me right. I am pretty sure I know what shop you are talking about & I don't agree with the whole membership thing that you have to pay for. I have what they call a CLUB car for Big Al's, Petland & Petsmart, get discount & points you can redeem for items & it was free.
