Question on Google
Does this store carry saltwater fish, coral and anemones?

As someone already mentioned, the So.Burl petco does not carry saltwater stock, nor Petsmart in williston. See Gabe, the owner at Pet Advantage, hes a good dude and they have lots to choose from. Also look into Green Mountain Coral in waterbury VT for the rest of your needs

Community answer · Noah Dion · 2018-09-21

Pet Advantage in South Burlington, Vermont has a nice saltwater collection. They usually have coral and sometimes have anemones.

Community answer · Aimee Viens · 2018-09-21

No but i believe Frank is right about the fresh water stuff

Community answer · Taylor Reno · 2018-09-21

Fresh water fish.

Don't believe so

The staff were great, as always, and the deal on the aquarium that I bought was excellent. The only minus was there were no hoods in stock for that size tank. No big thing. I can go back when they come in.

Asked the cashier for help with fish. I was told to go back to the fish section and someone would help me shortly. Waited for 7 or 8 minutes, no one showed up. While I waited, I looked in the other tanks and saw several dead fish. They had definitely been dead for a few days since they were already decomposing. Forget this place- just go to Pet Advantage down the road on Dorset. Their folks help right away and their fish have always been healthy. I stopped by Petco to see if they had some other fish species...won't make that mistake again lol.

We bought a Reddy harness here about 30 days ago and our strong furbaby Homer ended up snapping one of the clips on it ... Called Petco and they said they do full refunds/ exchanges within 60 days. Awesome! We didn't have the receipt but pulled it up with our petco rewards. We brought our dog over near closing time and the staff was super friendly and allowed us to exchange our harness for a larger one , no rush, super helpful and kind.
