Canadiancray Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I will be arriving in Calgary on July 5 for a 10 day stay during the stampede. I need your opinions on which Aquarium Stores need to be checked out while I am there. I have my own transportation while I am there so getting around is not an issue. Names & addresses would be VERY helpful so I can plan things out ahead of time. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JORG Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 You have to check out Gold Aquariums-----4710-17ave-S.E------Top quality fish and some of the best prices around. A little bit cramped so best not to go during the busy times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toirtis Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I still find Pisces to be worth a visit when doing the rounds...and only about 8 minutes directly north of Riverfront: Pisces Pet Emporium 10-5220 4 St NE, Calgary, AB T2K 5X4 Phone: (403) 274-3314 http://www.piscespets.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertan Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Riverfront hands down, although Gold's is a good bet also. Christian just sent me home with an L018 Gold Nugget Pleco and an L091 Three Beacon Pleco they had named something else. I shoulda picked up an L007 Vampire Pleco, but $300+ for three little plecos is pretty hard to justify to the wife. One other spot I would visit actually are the Petlands in the area. Sunridge, a little north of Gold's seems to get a lot of the interesting stuff. You're gonna have enough fun to justify the rounds with the first two on the list though.

Geez, I wish that I had been thinking when you were in...I still had a left-over 50% off coupon (the one from finestvalues.com) in my clip-boatd that was good until close today. Well, there is always our 2for1 day on the 14th, and you did ask about shipping (plus twice monthly, I pass through Entwhistle, which is a bit closer to you).

Albertan Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 No problem. I meant to ask you who Christian was when you were getting my fish for me but then I forgot trying to take a final look at the different plecos. I didn't remember until I was at the front and another fellow pointed you out, but you were busy so I figured I would introduce myself another time. Gotta like any fishkeeper that rounds up your plecos with his bare hands. hehe. Thanks again Christian. I am just floating them in the bags atm and trying to figure out who gets to share space with who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
