Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I became first time aquarium owner in August '14. I got a starter kit 20 gallon tank from Petsmart. I have had relative success in the past 6 months from getting my fish and other necessesities from the same store. I was wondering what more experienced aquarium owners would say about the quality of fish from stores like petsmart (Petco, etc.) compared to other smaller stores that are only for fish. Is there a higher quality fish from smaller stores compared to large wholesale stores. I know there are other factors that come into play (quality of smaller store, location, etc.), but what is the general opinion of where is the best place to purchase your fish?
