I have mixed feelings about that. At least the fish won't be stuck in thier horrid, hair algae filled tanks for weeks....

But, if they go online, does that mean they will start selling alot more livestock?

wow cool now i wish they had them in the LFS

Unfortunately it sounds like another way for Petco to kill huge amounts of livestock

this is scary on so many levels.....

dunno if I would go there after seeing their tanks a few days ago.

I wonder who their supplier/vendor is and if they're being shipped directly from there... I can't imagine corals in the local PETCO shops b/c the staff just isn't trained - or may not care about corals.

My Petco is prob the same as you guys,,,lousy on the SW area,,,,,
tanks were ok looking , but it had that "nobody knows what they are doing" look, along with average type stuff, and not looking that good to boot.
Hopefully the online deal will not go that well, and they stop it, 'specially if they run it like most stores i 've seen ,,,,
