Quality of Fish at PetSmart and PetCo?
Mar 8, 2014 · My Petsmart is hit and miss and it depends wholeheartedly on the type of fish you're buying from them. Case in Point: I have 10 Columbian Tetra 's all bought from Petsmart.

Is buying fish from Petsmart a good idea or not?
Nov 26, 2018 · Personally, I buy from Petco because its my "LFS" (only a mile and a half from my house and a mile close to me than Petsmart, lol) and their prices are cheaper and their selection is better.

Are Fish in Petco or Petsmart Good Quality
Mar 6, 2021 · Honestly as much as I grumbled in my first post, my whole tank is happy and healthy and with only a couple exceptions it is stocked from Petsmart.

PetSmart: Behind the Fish Wall! - FishLore Aquarium Forum
Jan 1, 2017 · Now, you as a customer only see the fish wall, what’s in front, and the water there. Behind the wall is a rather extensive system with a sump, two large filter pads, another large carbon filter, 12 UV sterilizers, and other crazy things that I don’t even know what they are.

Messages. 105. Nov 22, 2017. #1. I just went to my local PetSmart and they didn't let me buy fish there because I'm 14 and apparently you have to be 18.

Any reason to avoid Petsmart's Top Fin glass aquariums?
Messages. 3,531. Aug 9, 2022. #2. It does not say whether the glass is tempered.
