Store Review: That Fish Place, That Pet Place(updated title)
Posted: Mon May 14, 2018 8:42 pm
Xenocrab and myself went to Lancaster, PA this weekend for a concert. Before the show we decided to go to That Fish Place, That Pet Place. We had been there before but wanted to go again.
This place is HUGE! I would compare it to approximately 4-6 Petcos or Petsmarts under one roof! It's that big! That doesn't include their reptile/amphibian or fresh/saltwater/ pond sections either! They cover all the bases with just about anything with fur, feather, fins, scales, and claws, everything! They even have a waist high 2000 gallon stingray tank where you can pet them! If you are a rewards member you even receive a discount on all items, excluding pets, I think. Its a bit overwhelming at first with their tanks and all accessories!
If any pet store takes care of their hermit crabs it is this place. They have maybe 2 inches of substrate, several hides, walls for them to climb, and a fogger to keep the humidity high. While there a lady was purchasing 2 small crabs for a small girl. She didn't know the first thing about them, an associate was helping her. The lady had a screen cage but the associate actually referred her to a 5 or 10gallon, sand, substrate, etc. That lady was in line ahead of me during checkout and spent over $100 on crab items!
We ended up purchasing a 30 gallon tank, and glass lid spur of the moment, along with more substrate, 2 pieces of aquarium wood, and a mouse wheel. We spent about 2 hours there and could have easily spent another hour there easily.
Yesterday we spent the entire afternoon switching tanks around. Our 6 P's went from the 20 tall into the 30 gallon. Our two E's moved from a 10 gallon into the 20. Once the P's were relocated they went nuts climbing and exploring everywhere. For some reason they all decided to hang out together in or on the one hide. They spent several hours checking everything out.
