gotta love this petco, got some awesome ora zoos from there 80 polyps 25 bucks, springeri dottyback 15 bucks usually alot more online or other lfs, they sold me an anenome today they said was sebae anenome but looks like a ritteri anenome for 16 bucks now thats awesome, i'll post a pick tomorrow to see what you guys think. gold deresa clam also got for 36 bucks.
 
everything is doing great only thing new is the anenome, the manager is on rc slash site and he makes sure to take care of coral there pretty good except when another manager orders stuff they cannot care for.
 
have to wait until later or tomorrow, getting ready to watch national treasure 2, i'm off work tomorrow so i get some pics after i clean coralline of glass first. Pics look like crap with purple bloches everywhere.
 
I bought a flame angel, orchid dottyback and a neon dottyback and put them in the tank at my moms house that will soon be my qt tank. they looked pristine when I bought them. They all died and wiped out the two clowns that had lived in the tank for over a year. I doubt I will buy fish from them again.

I also was in there last weekend and they had a blue jaw trigger in a tank with some ocellaris clowns. It killed two of them before I could tell the lady to move the trigger.
 
blue jaw is the most reef safe trigger of all trigger fish, but need to be kept in large tank for swimming room. got mine there and my fish are all still alive.
 
Main problem was I could not diagnois what they had, I wasnt sure if it was fungal or bacterial. So I did not know how to treat it. It moved fast thought, no time to think. I may consider buying live stock there again, once I have my qt properly setup, hypo may have did the trick.

That blue jaw was completely different than any I had ever saw, it was completely viscous. It made me wish I had a predator tank. It was sad to see it anilating them clowns.
 
So whats the deal with PetCo?

The one on 14xxx manchester almost never has corals or decent salt warter stuff. The one at Gravois Bluffs does on occasion. Are they operated differently or am I just missing the shipments.

the manager at petco in edwardsville is indemark on here in rc he has way more sales than other stores in area since they started keeping corals the only problem is the coral tanks only have 2 HO t5 bulbs over there tanks and indemark said they can't buy anymore to put on them. He has a daylight bulb and actinic when he gets new bulbs he ought to try 2 12k bulbs on each coral tank, they get bad corals to that just didn't ship well but i got some nice zoos from there and some nice purple rhodactis shrooms, green toadstool and some nice fish and anenomes.
Its probally really up to the store on what they order and some stores just don't know how to take care of them fortunately our store does and everyone always knows when shipments come in cause all good stuff is gone quick. One kid in store bought some tiedyed looking zoos crazy looking and awesome gone before they hit the tank.
