Tropical Fish & Pet Depot

Anyone been there before? Good or bad experiences??

I went yesterday just to check it out b/c I was on that side of town and a member on this site had mentioned it. Its a pretty big store with lots of freshwater. They had some pretty decent live rock at $5.99/lb. Also had lots of SW fish although they didn't look extremely healthy. They had a few coral tanks with pretty decent prices...no frags really I ended up picked up some turbo snails just because I wanted a few more for my tanks. Bottom line is pretty big store, not too many corals and not-so-friendly service/help.

Anyways I'll add it to the LFS list.

I'll second the not so-great service. Been there a few times. Nice selection of fish, but some are not so healty looking.

Yeah, ditto on the frags. Not much to chose from ..

I go to this store when I'm on that side of town. I've yet to buy anything from them. Although their prices are much better than Neptunes. Every time I'm in there the coral selection is very low, and not real healthy looking. The fish selection is much better than Neptunes, and I often see things there that I haven't seen in other stores, but my timing seems to be such that they don't have what I'm looking for. I finally did realize that a lot of the fish that I didn't recognize are brackish fish that they've acclimated over to a higher SG.
