i was at wet pets yesterday for the first time. there fish selection for salt and fresh water was very impressive. for corals i didn't see any sps but the lps was the best I've seen near pittsburgh. the most impressive thing i seen there was probably that huge clam it has to be over 3 feet long and the long tank with the big lion fish and other very big aggressive fish.

Yeah their display tank with the clam is very nice. I don't know why they don't try to get into sps at all. They do have some nice lps but the prices are steep. They just expanded and that section with the empty new tanks is all new.

They had SPS when I was down there last for some salt. That had to have been around mid-may. It was in one random stand alone corner tank, and seemed to be mostly mini-colonies for $100-$175. Might've been an experiment that didn't go too well. Their prices are high, but you get what you pay for. I have a puffer for sale that's been with me for 4-5 years now and an Eel that is probably 26".
+1 I think I had one fish die shortly after I got it in my tank in all the years I have purchased from them and they gave me credit no questions asked. All but one of the fish in my tank are from Wet Pets.
Roland, those prices don't seem that bad. They were higher than that last time I looked at the coral. It has been a while though, since I usually just look at the fish when I go in.

They're nice fish...but don't we all have too much on our plates to begin with? If we don't, then I'm sure we all have aspirations of getting a larger reef that would be too much on our hands:nerd:

i didn't check the prices on the discus but 800 i don't think thats right. the most i seen them at elmers was 130 for one. the most i ever spent on a fish was 80 for my emperor no way i could spend 400 on one fish.

If I had the space for one in a large reef tank, I could see getting a crosshatch trigger. That'd be the only way I'd spend that much on a fish.

yeah, but they aren't very reef safe. Awesome fish though.

They recently got rid of their SPS tank because they said they didn't sell any of it. I think their customer base is geared toward fish. They have a decent selection of basic corals, but many they have had for months. They actually had some nice SPS there, but their prices were really high.
