petco sucks

[usmcr0811]

That sucks, that is why I am not a fan of the larger chains, you have to jump through so many more hoops to get something accomplished....it is hard because the larger chains have better prices a lot of times like wal-mart...not a fan but I still shop there all the time because there prices are good and its convenient.

Just a tip on Petco. The one location I have had absolutely no luck whatsoever with is the one in Windsor Heights. Buffalo Rd and 74th St I believe. Not only has every fish I've ever bought there died within days, but they usually have horrific ich. Most recently, I bought a PBT there for $58. It looked great in the store tank. In the 20 minutes it took me to drive from that store to my place, the fish was absolutely covered in white, fuzzy spots. The stress of the trip clearly brought out the very bad infection it was already harboring. It died within 3 days. Meanwhile, I've yet to lose anything I bought at the Jordan Creek location, despite their extreme case of hair algae and cyano.

in california every fish i bought was fine and is steal alive. cherub angel, all my croms, my clowns i lost my cardinals but i lost them from, other placese too. I dont know whats up with those fish after getting 10 of them from different placese one finaly stayed alive and is growing well

I don't think we have that much hair algae! Cyano yes, mostly because one of our return pumps wasn't functioning up to its potential. Did you guys know that we actually use Iwaki pumps? Now I just gotta convince them to carry those pumps on the shelves!
Oh and if anybody needs something from there let me know (discount)

you will lose your job for giving someone besides a family member residing in your house your discount I should know I was aquatic CAS at the buffalo store for a few months untill I got tired of watching Karen order all these "pretty" fish that just kept dying because they will not let us feed them properly I mean they order anthias in all the time and barely feed them twice a day wahts with that.. Hey josh whats up?? its Adam... The rpoblem with the buffalo store now is that Tina is the CAS and she doesnt know anything about SW the only person working at that store that knows anything about SW is the old guy Tom and his knowledge is still lacking and for the Jordan creek store you guys wil always have problems getting anything done around there with those managers trying to control everything IE Andy came in and completely tryed to change everyones ways which he knows alot about SW tanks but not as much as he thinks.. also at the Jordan Creek store Daniel is a great person to help you out but he is still learning the whole reef thing but his little 40 breeder is coming along nicely

so I guess the point I was trying to get across that didnt get out there is that while there are a few good SW reefers at petco most quit because the policies and the managers being total hypocrits
