Aquatics Department at PetSmart not What I Expected

Posted by L. Marie Dubuque Nov 23, 2008

I was awaiting the arrival of the brand new PetSmart in our area as much as a child anticipating Christmas day. I guess that says a lot about my exciting life.

As soon as I entered the store and made that left turn into the aquatics department, I was shocked. There were fewer fish tanks than in the old store. (PetSmart closed one store and moved about a mile down the road to a brand new location.)

I was still happy with the prices though. I got a tiny goldfish for 12 cents. But I guess I expected some sort of fish bonanza with huge tanks of colorful fish lining the walls. What I saw instead were small tanks and fewer fish. Maybe that will change.

I'm not saying I won't be a loyal customer anymore. But I feel the store's allegiance is now with dog lovers...The new pet hotel is supposed to be fabulous. So where do all of us fish lovers go now?
