my family purchased some birds from this store when i was a kid, but i hadn't been in there for years until yesterday... their fish room is HUGE!!! the tanks were well-kept, clean, spacious, not crowded, and precisely labeled, including the pH and temperatures required by the fish in each individual tank. the fish were happy, healthy, active, and beautiful. there were no dead fish to be seen in "for sale" tanks, and many tanks were marked "not for sale until xx/xx", suggesting that they actually quarantine their fish and don't sell them till they're okayed!
sick tanks were kept in the back of the room, in a roped-off area, as well. the selection is huge, both for SW & FW, and the guy in the fish room was very attentive and helpful (even after i told him i wasn't buying.)
if they actually had any of the fish i wanted for this tank, i'd be there in a heartbeat ^_^

finkids make me happy :-)
wow, this thread is so long it's become a directory!
best place i know of, although they are a smaller store and have limited stock, dry goods wise, is Aquarium Enthusiasts in Edmonton, Alberta. Wagner Road and 75th Street. (780) 469-FISH. best part is my daytime workjob is just around the corner! nice selection of saltwater and most of the freshwater is community types. every living creature in my tanks is from there, except for the snails. great staff, and the manager will tell you what you can and can't put in your tank, even if it means losing a sale.

I went to Pet Shanty today, specifically looking for a dwarf puffer and some corys. One of their three dwarf puffers was already dead (and for awhile too as it has been picked apart pretty good), and the other two had considerable damage to their fins... they looked like they were in bad shape. I was really surprised at the small selection of corys as well. After reading about their large selection of fish, and the things said in this thread, I was really disappointed. The tanks were clean and they had a lot of fish.. however I would never buy any. So many fish had so much damage to their fins. There were a few I wish I could have "rescued."
I don't know anything about saltwater tanks, but those fish all looked alright and had plenty of room.
Any other recommendations for New Jersey, preferably South Jersey??? I live outside Atlantic City and there is only one shop there.
having been there now, i can say that the other all-pet discount, in Red Mill Commons off of Nimmo Parkway, is just as awesome.All-Pet Discounters
