TheGr8Blade Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I live just up the street from them. I have never bought anything there. I should stop by and take a look. When does that sale end. anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'm pretty sure their fish are always on sale 30% or 2 for 1. At least, I've never been in that store and not seen those "sales". I know that doesn't really sound like a sale :shifty: , but I guess it's like buying gas in this city, there seems to always be the stated price plus an extra $0.035 off.

WRXchic Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I find they aren't as good deal as Gold. Their equipments and @$$. stuf are more expensive than Golds and Pieces. I found their A F cichlids is general twice $$ than GOLD. I go there only because they carry more kind of pleco than other stores. This is just my 10 cents.

DAlberta Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I have priced out Pisces, Gold, Riverfront, Francos and others and have found Francos to be in the middle Some stuff is higher priced and a few a bit lower. Fish are about "average" also. His selection of fish kick serious a** over Golds (like most stores) It is a well run family buisiness, one which deserves the support of the community Dave :beer: I find they aren't as good deal as Gold.

webmoose Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I have a happy healthy at least year and a half old clown pleco from Francos. I try to stop in there everytime I am near it. Picked up some really good albino cories the last time I was looking for them from there.... My two fish/cents worth... Moose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishManTy Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I don't mind them. They have a few good deals here and there... The one thing that made me mad was when i first started out she told me that I couldn't find a fluval 404 for cheaper, and that she was giving it to me at cost plus shipping. Long story short, I paid over $200, and later that day found out I can get them for <$150... After that, I refused to buy anything from her unless i could not get it elsewhere. Otherwise, she was very approachable, and her display tanks looked really nice. (I never saw the male owner, just the female, hence the use of her) As for marine, when I stopped by the other day when I was on 32nd going to buy lights, I took a look at the marine. Rather small selection. Hell, before I stopped by I had no clue they even sold saltwaterfish. Hopefully they expand their selection, and perhaps get some beginner corals. In short, they are a lot better than some stores, and care about the health of their fish. IMO, the fish is the best reason to go there, as the goods are the same as other places.
