Good news today for all us hungry for more in this hobby.Rumors confirmed Petsmart is coming to our fine city of St.John's Newfoundland. We are very excited about this and apparently the store will be huge. We're crossing our fingers for saltwater. We only have one local store here and he's a pretty good guy-the others are out of business for understandable reasons. The more the merrier I say. Does anyone know if they carry saltwater in Canada? We're hoping and crossing fingers. Thanks
 
I don't think PetSmart has a saltwater fish section. Checked the website and the Petsmart near our house. They do sell some saltwater stuff. My PetSmart sells salt and a 29 gallon nano cube. Will vary for different shops.
 
Actually now that I think about it again that is petco I saw salt water fish in not petsmart sorry.
 
PetSmart tested marine fish in some of their Arizona markets early in 2010 and did not see much success out of it. The serious hobbyists willing to properly make an investment mostly go to their independently-run LFS, not the big box places...

Most of them carry 4-8 feet of marine hardgoods, and they are always running sales on their salt it seems... so not a total loss!
 
There a LFS in Paradise that claims he cant keep much in stock because it sells so fast, and i'm going to assume the one your talking about is across from Stavanger Dr.
 
excited about a big box petstore coming? really?
your expectations are ridiculous, lol.

Unlike yourself who lives in an area abundant in marine resources, we aren't so fortunate. With a small population and such limited demand for supplies/livestock in the marine hobby why shouldn't someone get excited about a company which MAY add some diversity to such a small market? St. John's, NL is the largest City on the island and it roughly 20hours drive (including ferry) from the next city (Halifax, NS) for those who might ask "œWhy not just drive to the next city to get supplies/livestock".

Not entirely a bad thing to the alternative. A super Wal-mart every 5 miles. Thank God they never attempted to sell SW fish. I feel bad for the FW fish they do have.
 
I too have never seen saltwater livestock at a petsmart (and I have been to patsmarts in many states). They often have great sales and additional online coupons on dog food though. Many times I get it through them cheaper than I can through school! :)
