Local Pet Stores?

Subject: Local Pet Stores? 10/12/2009, 12:25 pm

I've been to most/all of the lps's around the Arlington/Grand Prairie/Mansfield area. What do you guys think of them? I like going to Pet-O-Rama but the aquarium "specialist" had a grudge on me since High School so I don't visit there often. I've been to the TranquilScape aquarium? off of cooper because I knew the owner but unfortunantely, he had to close his shop down. I've been to Petland right by the new stadium and a freaking parrot bit my finger, so I don't go there anymore, and last but not least, I have NOT visited AquaticWonderland off of Division. Has anyone from the general Tarrant County area been there? They have some decent prices on some blood parrot cichlids.

Does anyone know of anymore lps, or a CHEAP place to get some cichlids? I saw some parrot cichlids at Wal-Mart for $8 and they looked healthier compared to the other dead/iched fishes. I don't like PetCo/PetSmart because prices are waaaay too high except for sales, and it is normally the cheap guppies or tetras. Other than those sales, there was one for plecos ($5 for 5).

Again, I procrastinate, but any place to get cheap cichlids?

I'd say for the most part they are all over priced. I sall Demasoni at Pet-O-rama yesterday for $30.00 about 2.5". lol!

The best actual store to go to would be Pet Land off of 30 and Collins. The owner loves Cichlids so most of there tanks are that. Prices are not bad for LFS price. My house is going to be the hot spot again once I get my stock back up from moving.

The green parrot at PetLand bit me and ever since I went back he keeps screaming at me. But yeah they do have some great cichlids.

WOULD THEY HAVE A STRAWBERRY PEACOCK?

I live in Palmer and the closest LPS to me is Pet-A-Rama in Waxahachie.
They sell "assorted" cichlids for 20 bucks.
Sometimes they'll have a few others like tropheus,
but always want way too much for them.

I usually only go there to look when I have my 11yr old with me.

I bet Pet Village in Duncanville would have some.

I go there sometimes and trade stuff with the owner.
He's got some good fish at a decent price.

I just got two Red Peacocks from him and they look great.
