Anyone know if those ***** cards they give you can save money on fish?
And I was wondering if anyone here has a tornic heater. Do they work good?

Ive had goodluck with ***** on the freshwater fish but with saltwater the one where i live is constantly a mess they loose lots of hermit crabs and horseshoe crabs every day and i dont even try getting a fish there. You should try and stay away from pet stores stick to fish stores cause with pet stores usually they are more consirned with the dogs cats reptiles birds etc and they tend to neglect there fish but if the one buy your house is good go for it

I agree with the rest about the quality of *****'s fish. But for the price it is sometimes worth it to have a separate tank to use before introducing your fish to the main tank. I have a ten gallon set up for this purpose with excellent water quality, uv sterilizer, the works. But I would say this is only worked 80% of the time. I bought 10 fish/inverts from them 8 made it and are doing quite well. So if you have the patients this method will save you a few bucks, I recommend this method no matter where you buy your livestock you'll be happier in the long-run.

***** usually only has sales for their member card holders for the freshies only; occasionally they might have 1 or 2 salties on sale; sometimes a great deal even; like $30 for a purple tang...each ***** varies; VERY FEW are knowlagable, let alone give a darn about salties or freshies...least around here...but trooper is right, you should quarantine all new additions; we usually wait to pick out a cerain fish; if it's been there for 2-3 weeks, we figure it should be more than hardy to survive at home
you could try shopping online; you pay for the S&H, but usually there is a week's guarantee; if there are other hobbyist near you, you could split the S&H fees :cool:

The ***** in my area does a great job in maintaing their saltwater tanks. I was impressed. As with any big chain store they vary considerably from store to store. I have a couple of tronic heaters that I've been running for a long time, and have had no problems with them.

The ***** in Humble does a good job on their saltwater fish. They have a couple of people who are really sharp on the subject. Every once in a while they will have a tank that doesn't look so great and it's in quarantine. Never got a discount on fish with my card. Sometimes on supplies. I am looking for other places to purchase fish that doesn't need a bank loan to buy them. If ya'll know of anything in the Houston area, please let me know.

the ***** in my area is the greatest chain store on the west coast. I bought a bi-color angle from them it died in 2 days from pop-eye then 4 days later my flame angle died from the same disease. I wnt to the manager and told him the story so he replaced the bi-color and the flame.
I didnt even buy the flame from the store he worked at.

I purchased all my fish from ***** so far because the lfs is to damn high. There are 2 lfs besides *****, but both want way too much money. I have though about ordering online, but the shipping is a killer. The tanks at my ***** seem fine, and the lady there is very knowledable. I have seen them run specials on clowns before for like $6.99.

My ***** days are over. I am on my 2nd yellow tang in 3 weeks from there, and this fish isn't fairing well either. All of the fish that I have purchased from ***** seem to be very prone to infection. I am just glad that I quarantine everything. I have fish far more expensive and far less hardy than a yellow tang
