Say what you want about Petco but I’ve been to some awesome ones and some terrible ones! My Petco happens to be awesome and has a large saltwater section and large frag tank. Look what they have now for $70!

That’s so true!Petcos are no different than any local fish store. Some are great and some are awful. I've been to alot of shops and by far the worst were locally owned.
Although I'm probably maxed out for big fish, I'd really reconsider if I came across a sw betta.Oooo I’ve never seen these little guys before and for only $120 lol!
PetSmart as a whole does not sell or carry anything saltwater related.Yeah, my Petco is awesome!!! Clams, nems, corals (sometimes), and the other day I went in a they had a LIONFISH!!! My local PetSmart doesn't even have a saltwater section. . .

Honestly it’s hit or miss.I don't go to Petco any more, ever since finding out that their bosses /especially/ don't care about the livestock. I mean, chain pet stores are in it for the money, but Petco seems especially bad. I saw a tank of juvenile dart frogs, which are tiny, being kept with crickets over pinhead size. Not only were the frogs too small to eat the crickets, but the crickets were large enough to threaten them. When I mentioned this to an employee, she told me that corporate hadn't sent any appropriate food (fruit flies), even though Petco often stocks that appropriate food. They also hadn't provided any care information for the dart frogs, even for the employees to use. Petco corporate treats animals like inanimate objects, not like something that deserves the basic respect of being properly fed.
That said, the knowledge and commitment of individual employees can be a game-changer for individual stores, and they do sometimes have some good stuff in.
My local petco has tons of coral, nems, clams and had this Scoly and lionfish. I had to get them both. Scoly was 100 and as big as my fist, Chop, the lionfish was 40. I moved them to the DT a few months ago and they’ve been healthy and played nice with the other residents. I usually don’t buy from petco, but I was really impressed by this purchaseYeah, my Petco is awesome!!! Clams, nems, corals (sometimes), and the other day I went in a they had a LIONFISH!!!

That is not a Scolymia. There is a Trachyphyllia geoffroyi (the large green one), a plate coral (could be Fungia, Cycloseris, or Diaseris), either a Lobophyllia or Acanthestrea Pachysepta, and some zoanthids/palys.My local petco has tons of coral, nems, clams and had this Scoly and lionfish.

Thanks for the clarification. I can never tell the difference between trachs etcThat is not a Scolymia. There is a Trachyphyllia geoffroyi (the large green one), a plate coral (could be Fungia, Cycloseris, or Diaseris), either a Lobophyllia or Acanthestrea Pachysepta, and some zoanthids/palys.
Not true. I've been buying a bunch of my reefing salt from Petsmart for the last few years.PetSmart as a whole does not sell or carry anything saltwater related.
Salt but like that’s it not livestock and some products can be used in both!!Not true. I've been buying a bunch of my reefing salt from Petsmart for the last few years.
They carry Fritz, IO, and RC brand salts and have some pretty good sales. Like right now.
Right now you can get Fritz for under $40/bucket and IO for under $30/bucket.
(3) buckets of IO are $85 plus tax right now.
