Petco Score

This is why I swing by Petco after work on Wednesdays, they get their delivery in the afternoon and I can grab anything special while still in the distributors bag....
Told me it was 12.99, rang up at 7.99....orange and blue/purple Yuma...and if you look close there are two babies on the right side of the rock.

Honestly if you get to one of the nicer stores right when they get their shipments in...Ive never had a bug or disease issue with anything from there including a purple firefish for 15 and a splendid dottyback for 5. Deals can be had, as much as I support my LFS's, cant pass up deals like this, especially if you follow proper quarantine.

Looks good, and they use a lot of the same distributors as other LFS. It's just stuff that sits in their tanks that can get questionable. Just depends
 
Which Petcos out here still do salt? I don't think any of the ones in the NW side of town still do..

Nice score and I have been looking for a pink yuma too.
 
The petco that I have been to with the best salt selection has been the I17 and Happy valley store, it is where I got all of the items I listed above.

The 59th ave and 101 store has 1 less rack of aquariums so 1/3rd less stock but they get some nice stuff in too, saw spotted mandarins there once for $12 and stuff like that.

101 and northern has a decent setup also, not as clean or nicely run as the other two though. Part of it is if you have one local to you, get to know the aquatics manager and staff, they will special order anything they can for you and they have hooked me up with nice deals in the past. Obviously for coral 99% of the time their coral selection is not good(overpriced zoo rocks, leathers and dusters mostly), but fish deals come around more often.....I think they had maroon clowns on sale for $9 yesterday.
 
correct me if I'm wrong, but the petco is on 59th and I dont think that one does it anymore, does the one at happy valley?

Yeah it is 61st ave and 101/behrend. It had saltwater a week ago so I think it still does. The one on Happy Valley and I17 does and the one on Northern and 91st ave does as well.
