Have had nothing but bad experiences with saltwater fish from PETCO. The problem is unlike your local LFS which treat and take care of diseases like ich velvet and flukes PETCO stores do not. The dangers are very clear all their saltwater Fish are wild caught as well their tanks are contaminated...

Got a butterfly fish in quarantine for only 2 days and it died all that’s left now is coral beauty still alive with copper at 1.0. Seems like butterfly fish are very hard to keep alive when shipped. They just get to stressed can get hurt and obviously won’t eat. As well coming FROM PETCO and not...

Need some opinions/advice. My LFS that carry saltwater fish is Petco. Other nearest stores are minimum an hour away. I've had a nano AIO running for over a year now and the current fish in there came from my local Petco. I quarentined them first and they are still alive and well today. I set up...

So I purchased a fish tang from petco and stupidly put it in my display, within 3 or 4 hours I noticed it had ich and immediately removed him, but I cannot get any other fish out it’s just not possible, how likely is it that it’s now I’m my display tank? I got him out pretty fast

I went to buy the coral that I last posted about but they did not have it, they however had this one and it looked interesting and unique and I have never seen a soft coral that looks like this, I have no idea if it is full extended are not in these pictures but I can say he was way shriveled up...

This came off of two zoanthid colony’s I bought from petco, can anyone tell me what it might be?

One of the big concerns people seem to have with Quarantine Tanks is the additional cost. After dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars on a Display Tank, the last thing many might be inclined to do is buy another set of equipment that they will only use infrequently... After a trip to Petco...

Hi, I just bought a clownfish two hours ago from petco and recently put him in my tank. When I got him into the tank I noticed that his fins looked a little deteriorated. At petco he was in a larger tank with 2 other clownfish and a cleaner shrimp. I was wondering if someone knew what is wrong...

Just got this bta from Petco today for a total of 20 dollars what a steal in my opinion. 30 list price then 10 off 30 coupon

This poll had a mistake - there is a new one: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/where-is-this-tank-picture-taken-second-try.592542/

You may have heard by now but I have some of my own ideas why they are closing. Comment if you have some additional thoughts as to why they may be closing the doors at Drs. Foster & Smith. https://aquanerd.com/2019/01/petco-is-closing-dr-fosters-smith.html

Started using a 55 gallon tank in my basement to store some bleached coral and old live rock I've had curing in the garage. Upped the ante by adding lights, throwing in some snails and a fire fish goby. After a month the goby, snails, water, bunches of rock, old school lights, heater, and HOB...

Longtime lurker here, I'm setting up my newest nano reef tank, which I bought through petco because they were the cheapest re-seller. They ended up giving me 25$ in store credit, but in general I try to avoid purchasing any livestock from them as they don't take particularly good care of their...

Just found this post https://community.petco.com/t5/Aquarium/1-per-gallon-deal-April-2-2017/m-p/88421#M364 which confirms start date for this year's dollar per gallon sale is April 2nd. No end date mentioned.
