Aquahut Experience, please comment...

[Pleco420]

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever brought fish to Aquahut. I live kind of far and I know that they are not too good with the phones so I thought I would pick your brains.

I have a yellow head moray eel which I cannot take care of anymore.

I kind of knew I should not have bought the awesome beast at the time, but common sense went out the window.

I bought the fish from them so just wanted to know if they accept livestock. Do not want to make the trip if I don't have to.

Thanks...

im sure they would take him, but i think he would be better off given to someone local. if you give him to a store, someone with less experience and a smaller tank will most likely buy him and put him in a tank that could be possibly smaller than yours.

I bought 2 damsels that were terrorizing my tank there last week and he let me trade them for 2 other fish without any questions. He's got the tanks to hold it, so I don't see why he wouldn't. He may even give you store credit. Very nice and helpful everytime I am there. You are not the first to complain about the lack of phoneage.

Same here - Don has helped me out that way in the past.

Don is a great guy. Their official store policy is that they dont take trades, but he has helped me out in the past. I had to give up a Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang and a Striped Burrfish that had all outgrown my tank. He gave me store credit for them since he knew that I would just be spending more money there anyway.

Great store I think they will take care of ya.

It is a 45 minute drive and they are the fish store I will do business pretty much.

I like Pets Warehouse in Copiague but the service at AquaHut cannot be matched.

They never seem inconvenienced or impatient with your conversation like some places

<cough> country <cough> critters....

When I spend my hard earned money I don't usually like to think someone else is doing me a favor by getting a fish out for me.

Sorry for the last two cents but customer treatment like that is helping internet sales out a lot....

Just want to make it clear that is not how I feel about Pets Warehouse. They are good people too, just haven't purchased any livestock from them lately...

Where is Aquahut located?

Middle Country road Coram just on the corner of 112 and Middle

Don will take anything back from what I have seen.

If your eel requires a covered tank, this may be an issue....

I do agree with teen if there is someone local wanting and able to take care of the eel first.
