I ordered my Jawfish online with Petco and came in fine. not sure if its true or not but the person at the store said they treat all their fish prior to shipping to the store since they can't treat in store with all the inverts in the tanks.
I've heard the same.
My petco is aces.
All my fish/rocks/free coral are from there.

Oh I know. I've got a good relationship with the manager at two of the closest Petcos. Both have placed orders for me but neither was able to get what I asked for. 😂
Same.

Wow they even gave you free coral?
Lots.
They don't get in much, nor do they really have anyone to take care of it so I've gotten a lot for free.
Apparently they get sent some whether they order it or not.
