In Response To: Re: Disappointed in PA (Nancy)

Nancy, STILL unpacking?? Isn't moving Great!! I think I am basically all unpacked, I should be, it will be 1 year in Aug:) Which one closed, Pet-a-pet?? If he gave it up there is nothing left in the area! The Aquarium Zoo is the next highly recommended store, but since it is in Philly I never got there. Just east of Rt 100 on Rt 113 there is a small feed store, Nate, their fish guy seems genuinely concerned and helpful. Last time I was there they were remodeling, you should check them out, they're only 20 minutes away.

Remember That Fish Place is the best on dry goods, while their fish room is huge, the quality is well not the best. Varity, they have, the turn around is phenomenal, and the setup is something to see. But price is normal and quality is, well did I mention the turn around is high:)

Keeping within the thread of this conversation, there is a Petco down the road from you on old 422 in Collegeville, and there is another one on Rt 30 that I have told you about. Both of these stores and 5 or 6 others in the area were formally called PAWS, a small local chain. When Petco bought them a couple years ago they kept most of the employees. Now the fish room has not been managed the best in Collegeville, but if the same guy is still there on Rt 30, he ran a good store. With the switch to the Petco chain suppliers, his fish choices were limited, but he did care for what he got, and better yet he knew what he was ordering even if that is not what they sent him:)

I'd love to say that if you ever come visit us in Walnutport we'd take you to some great stores, but unfortunately that's just not gona happen. There is a couple fish clubs down your way you may have to look into joining once you are settled. You may be better able to satisfy your fishy needs that way.

Good luck. JD
