I think the Petco in Coon Rapids carry better selection. It's off Main and HWY 10.

Before they display them? No offense to the SWE but the last time I was there I saw a few dead fish and some other sickly looking ones

This is NOT the norm for SWE.

I know of two petcos in my area, but I don't feel comfortable buying fish from them because the saltwater tanks usually have loads of ich.

Yea you gotta be careful where ever you buy fish or livestock. Ive been to a couple of recommended fish stores and see dead fish in their tanks at times. I think cause sometimes they are behind schedule and never got around to scooping it out.

That's part of the reason I liked DA so much, I never saw dead fish in there and the only casualties I had from there were two turbo snails, and a cleaner shrimp which died either because I was overdosing with purpleup, my Nitrates were to high, or some pepperment shrimp I added brought a killer shrimp virus. I haven't been to another pet store where I haven't seen sick or dead fish floating in the tank O.o

That's good to know!!!

I didn't think it was. In there defense it was just as they opened and they might not had the chance to sweep the tanks.

I have only been their a few times and I've never seen an issue before.

Good QT is 4 weeks. We encourage everyone at home.

That being said we are proud of the level of quality we provide as an LFS.
