Favorite LFSs and Places to Avoid - Aquarium Advice

Menagerie · 06-24-2005, 03:13 PM

In the Spokane area, I have not found a great place for fish. I was spoiled in Calgary, where there are a ton of independantly owned LFSs and pet shops with "stay alive" guarantees. So far, I have visited PetCo, the Evergreen Pet Store and Northwest Seed and Pet. NW Seed has the best selection of pet supplies I have seen so far, but I was unimpressed with the fish.

The Evergreen store had no guarantee on [acronym:e64c25d9f2="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:e64c25d9f2] fish and where the puppies and kitten section stank.

In Lewiston, [acronym:e64c25d9f2="Identify"]ID[/acronym:e64c25d9f2] there is Bob's Ponds and Pets. There is a wonderful selection of fish and the burmese mountain dog, Secret, is super friendly. However, that is 2 hours away.

If in the Wenatchee area, Village Pets has a decent selection of fish. They are my fav lfs here in the area. Petco is ok, and Walmart was terrible, but getting a little better.
