Swimboy123 June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 For the most part, Petco doesn't have a good selection. However, there are a few stores that have upgraded saltwater facilities. The one in Woodbridge at Cheshire Station is one. You can find LPS and a stony coral every now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onux20 June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 Their selection online is pretty good. Ordered a pbt from them and was very happy with it, price, size, and overall health. Coral selection is standard and overpriced. Shipping costs are on par with other etailers. But the shipping method was a little hinky. Sent me a UPS tracking number but arrived at Fedex location?! How does that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moga June 27, 2012 Author Share June 27, 2012 Got Petco gift card .. i dont want to return to giver that he will feel bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 (edited) I have never ordered from them online, but if I had a $100 gift card, I'd probably give it a shot. You need to hit $175 for free shipping. Here are their current online fish specials. Here is the rest of their fish and coral. I would definitely QT the heck out of any livestock though.

Coral Hind June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 I would use the gift card to buy frozen food, additives, or medications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 I would use the gift card to buy frozen food, additives, or medications. And salt. You can always use salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLazar June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 (edited) We're down in Fredericksburg. The Petco off I-95 at exit 143 has no salt water fish tanks set up right now. The Petco off I-95 exit 130 had multiple tanks, I bought a small yellow tang from them. They fed the tank so I could see that it was eating. The clerk also said you can put in orders and pick up at the store. Orders should be placed Thursday evenings. If you don't like it when it comes in you don't have to take it. I saw an abundance of ORA clown fish, some coral beauties, and some others I can't remember. The tech has his own salt water set up at home and seem knowledgeable. We were there for the $1 tank sale, not for fish to be honest. Maureen Edited June 27, 2012 by MLazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen The Petco in Burke (Rolling Road) has a saltwater section that sometimes has decent buys on "basic" fish (damsels, blennies, clowns) and some inverts (snails, feather dusters, and such), although corals tend to be overpriced IMO. I have a pair of green chromis and an engineer goby in my main tank I got there, and they've done just fine (although I did start with three chromis). QT is always recommended, but that's not unique to Petco purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLazar June 28, 2012 Share June 28, 2012 Agree about QT. Petco is never our first choice for livestock, we much prefer to shop BRK, Fins and Feathers, and Petland (which are closest to us - I'm sure there are others too). We used to love Sean's store Aquaco also. I wonder if we'll ever see him again? Good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
