Petsmart, I won't go to Petco ever since they basically told me I was an idiot for believing that bettas don't live in mud puddles.

hey alisoncristine do yall sell phoenix worms? if so how much are they?

Semantic Drift

Definitely PetSmart. If we're going by sheer number of dead fish in the tanks, PetSmart hands-down. Also, I like that PetSmart has filtered water for the betta cups. Also - I noticed that one of their otos had an injured nose, and they took it in the back and put it in its own separate 5 gallon quarantine tank with some Melafix (or maybe Pimafix). Anyway, the care shown to that cute little $1.39 fish really sold me on PetSmart.

Pheonix worms? Hmm... I don't know, what form are they sold in, and do they have a more common name?

plecolover

they are sold live. let me redo the question diffrently what live worms do petsmarts usaully sell?

yea, i've actually seen them treat bettas there. and after being in several of each, every deathco had dirty tanks with dead fish while petsmart's tanks looked much cleaner and had far less resemblance to a sushi bar. and it's just more fun shopping at petsmart, probably because the aquatic section is so much nicer to look at.

AlisonChristine

We sell night crawlers, wax worms, meal worms, super worms, and I think red wigglers.. but it also might be based on location.



By the way, Petsmart tanks are cleaned using good old-fashioned elbow grease of the little peons that work there, myself included. The tanks at mine were some of the best in the company, cleanliness-wise, and not just due to my work. A few of my coworkers are rather dedicated to actually taking care of the animals, rather than making a profit, and that makes all the difference.

yea, i picked up on that at the stores i've been in.. it just seems like the corporate philosophy passed on to employees is better at petsmart and attracts the better workers.. some of whom may have worked at deathco and been frustrated like crazy there.
