Good fish shops? - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

I had trouble registering at Aquabid.com. I emailed support about it but never heard back, which is wierd. Maybe my spam filter blocked it or somethign, oh well.

Just a little story about Elmers in Monroeville:

I had a female krib that had been in my tank a week and was constantly hiding from the male krib. She wasn't eating and was not looking good (laying on side panting) so I called Elmers and they said to bring her in, gave me a full credit and everything. I hope she made it in thier tanks. I don't know if she did, but she sure as heck has a better chance there than in my tank.

Hey guys,

Just a quick question that kind of relates to fish shops.. Have you guys seen any ghost shrimp lately? I know pet supplies plus up in cranberry has not been stocking them anymore. I tried a few other places and I cannot find any ghost shrimp.

Petsmart, petco, pet supplies plus, wet pets, and sea horse. Struck out everywhere.

P.S. - I got rid of my syno finally! My tetras can finally eat in peace!

Cranberry, my grandfather lives in Fombell. Check this site:
Fish Store Review dot com - Local Fish Stores and Aquarium Shops in Pennsylvania

Well that site didn't have any reviews for the places I frequent. The one place listed in Gibsonia not only didn't have any reviews, but doesn't exist anymore. The only other place close is Butler; no reviews, and is an hour drive, if its there.

Thanks for the reply roka.

I know for a fact that Elmers has them, I just picked some up Friday.

Well it looks like I will be going to Elmers this week. I wanted to get a few for my tank since my syno is now gone, and my friend needs some snacks for her cichlids. We are planning on buying 20 and split them up. Thanks for the reply!

I happened to notice some at the Cranberry Walmart, but that was a year or so ago. They still may carry them, though.

Well I actually went over to Elmers and got a 10, 5 for me and 5 for my friend. Last time I was up at the Cranberry Walmart I didn't see any, nor would I buy anything out of those tanks. Guppy tank had like 10 floaters in it and the other tanks were pitiful to say the least.

I noticed a few dead cories in Elmer's tanks last time I was there, though I highly doubt it is through any fault of thier own. It happens I suppose, especially when you consider the sheer quantity of fish moving through that place.
