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

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

No but i believe Frank is right about the fresh water stuff
Does petco allow you to reserve / make a down payment on an animal? Ex; a ferret is 180$, can I put down 100$ on Monday and then pick him up say Thursday and pay the rest?

It was an ok experience. We were down in the aquarium fish/fish department, and had to call for assistance 4 times. There only seemed to be one clerk working that department and there were several people waiting for help. We were there first, but ended up being waited on list because others jumped in front of us. Once we were waited on, the clerk was very pleasant and helpful. It wasn't the clerks fault, she handled things well. I think they were short of help. A lot of the shelves were empty, and the place was a bit messy..

Nice little store. Large selection of fish. Interesting selection of reptiles. Have rodents, ferrets, and hamsters. Currently no birds, probably due to the pandemic.

My favorite pet store to go too!!
Got my hamster there a year ago, and she's the greatest pet ever! They were so informative and kind, staff is always great at Petco. I love going to buy hamster and kitty treats here, the cat treat selection is great! My son loves looking at the fish and the reptiles and other rodents there.
