Anyone here like PetSmart here in Canada, or go to one?
(Speciffically in Ontario if there is anyone)

Cause thats were I've gotten all my fish so far

Well i've gone to pet smart and from what i heard it really depends from store to store. So you should look around at the different tank and see if any fish looks sick or in bad shape. That should give you an answer....hopefully.

I buy fish from everywhere....I know my tanks are well taken care of, and I can help other fish recover from things...the most important thing is a QT tank for all new fish in case they are sick, and dont put fish in tanks that they dont belong..whether it be size of fish for size of tank , or an aggressive fish with submissive babies....education and research no matter where you buy fish, is the utmost importance ......

I too have fish from all over, I have quite a few from Wal-Mart, Petsmart, LFS, other members on this site & even a few rescues. Really depends on the store & your own tanks.

have you ever goteen fish from 'sketchy' places and been surprised about how well they did?

I got all my pictus catfish from Walmart and they do splendid. Also I rescued a few fiddlers from there. 8 fiddlers doing great 6 have molted.

Most of my problems came from petco. I bought 5 black neon teras when I fist started fish keeping. Shame they had neon tetra disease. The fallout from that was massive. Since my landlords disapproved on any more tanks I was forced to not have a quarantine. In the end all 5 tetras bit the dust, 2 albino zebra danios, and my first red tail shark.

Weird how a place known for crappy fish keeping hasn't steered me wrong while a national chain on fish selling has dontcha think?

If I was you I get a plastic container about 3 to 5 gals and put a sponge filter no gravel or nothing fancy and put it next to your bed and QT the fish there. Don't ask don't tell. It works.
