Petco To Stop Selling Saltwater Fish

I work at a petco in texas, and 155 petcos in texas have stopped selling saltwater fish.

not enough business, and too expensive to maintain, along with unqualified personnel

anyway, about time petco made this decision.

Where in texas do you work?

The petcos Ive seen around the DFW area usually have pretty decent SW tanks (surprizing considering they are a chain)

The new one in town sells SW. They have about 30 clowns in one 15-20G tank.

The Petco in College Station is the only petstore within an hour and a half drive that has saltwater that would be a stupid decision on thier part. Plus the guy that runs the one here is a great fish expert and does a superb job cleaning and maintaining the tanks.
