It puts my fish stores to shame!!! It looks like it has more stock room and aquarium space than the Petsmart here, but it's got much better looking tanks, plants, and fish! I'm not even gonna compare it to my sorry LFS! I won't support him any more than necessary! I hope the service and prices are good, although I'd pay a SLIGHT bit more than normal rates if he keeps up the other factors.

the 7th pic from the bottom looks like a petsmart with the driftwood on the bottom shelf and the blue and white floors

http://baconbitbandit.com/edd/eddies%20013.jpg is definitely PetSmart. This "store" looks more like 3 seperate ones to me! Not that I really care about proving you wrong but I have SuperPet, PetSmart, Aquarium Services, Little Critters, etc... all in my city (oh and Walmart if that should count) and it looks like these pictures are some from each. The blue tanks looks like the new PetSmarts... none the less.....

Yea that store did look really nice and well stocked but I would also agree that those pics didn't look like they were from one store.

Your own tank seems nice, far as I can tell... I really can't get the "feel" for your fish tank with the distraction of the window reflections. Try taking more pics at night.

Not to take sides or anything, but many Petsmarts have done away with those tanks pictured on that bottom row. Some store revamping or something, happened a coupla years back for the ones I worked at. They sold them off pretty cheaply too!
Hmmmm...then again...that pic really doesn't fit in very well with the rest...unless the store has a serious hodgepodge of styles..not that it couldn't, but....

Nice tank dude. How big are the balas? I have 2 myself.
The one pic is petsmart, but the others don't look like any petsmart I've been to. And I travel the country for my job. Always like browsing pet stores. That's a great store. Wish I had something like that around here. I'm attaching a couple of pics of my tank. 150 gallon, 2 balas, 4 oscars, 1 arowana, 2 huge plecos, and about 48 goldfish, lol. Big Dog (big pleco) is 16 inches long. First pic is before the 2 albino oscars went in. Cheers!

just to let you guys know how small the pet stores around here are.....there are about 2-2.5 times (at least) as many tanks pictured here ( http://baconbitbandit.com/edd/eddies%20022.jpg )of FW things than the pet depot has FW tanks in the whole store! Not to mention the pic that had some lady standing there that appears to be the other side of the tanks in the pic im talkin about.
Haven't been in the petsmart yet to see how many they have, but someone told me the fish were lookin pretty scraggly! They had "not for sale" signs on all the tanks.
not that anyone cares, hell i dont even care....im gonna go do something else now.....
oh yea the pic with the rainbows is pet smart too

Nice tank, but the thickness of your gravel scares me.
made some changes, the big bala must have gotten stuck in the rocks or somthing, hes missing alot of scales on one side, and it looks like he bumped his head?? poor thing :confused: new arrangment (http://baconbitbandit.com/fish.htm)

That store is lookin good. That's a lot of tanks :), I'm sure you'll be busy picking out what to put into another aquarium.
And your lucky 'cause you can get Java Fern (I think I saw it in one shot). I've never seen it around here.
I like your tank, too. Nice rockwork.
