Petco for fish

[Quicksilver]

Hey everyone, I know I know that majority of Petco's are horrible and the fish are not healthy. My son was recently gifted a large gift card for Petco and the only thing I need are fish. I have been to a few to window shop and the one in Bloomingdale looked like the saltwater fish were taken care of. Anyone have any recommendations if I decide to purchase fish for Petco locations that are good? Thanks in advance

I've gotten two fish from pet I when I was starting out and both are still with me today. The Bloomingdale store is where I got my first fish and yes they do a really nice job over there of keeping the tanks clean. Some petcos do a terrible job others are great. Gotta see and judge for yourself. Personal experience has been good to date.

Thanks for the confirmation, I was there this past weekend I was surprised at the condition of the tanks compared to most big box pet stores. I may give that one a try and quarantine it for a few weeks just to make sure, I think they still have a good return policy in case the fish doesn't make it.
