Pros: \r
\r
A great big wonderland of fun for aquarists of all kinds.\r
\r
Really good selection of foods, substrates, tools, equipment, decorations, meds, chemicals, rock of all kinds, etc.\r
\r
The staff really DO know fish, and will answer all your questions.\r
\r
I have had very positive experiences with them accepting returns on inverts that perished and even replacing a heater when I shattered it. \r
\r
Cons:\r
\r
Some stuff IS definitely overpriced. \r
\r
Dispite being a big fancy place, the health of the fresh water fish is not what I expect from a high quality aquarium store. I'm not calling it Petsmart, but you WILL find dead fish and very sick fish in those tanks, so buy carefully. I get the impression they care more about their saltwater stock. They do tend to have a pretty good selection though, so it's always worth a visit.
