Polly's Pet Shop in New Braunfels

[jrnannery]

Can anyone share some recent experiences about this store? What do you think of their stuff? Do they have good prices? What else?

seems to me like saltwater is sort of an afterthought to them, however if you are educated on what you are looking at then its possible to stumble onto some good deals at shops like that

exactly, don't rely on them for good info, or to ensure the health of their stock, but if you know what your looking at, and know how to tell if it's healthy, you can find some good stuff there occasionally. this is just the kind of shop were i like to ask a few questions that i already know the answers to, and see what they say. this can really tell you alot about their knowledge and honesty, or show you if they're just trying to make a sale. example"sure, a naso tang would be an excellent first addition for your newly set up nanocube!"

They are overpriced on dry goods (MJ 900 is listed at $30).
EVery once in awhile, they have a good deal on SW fish - I've seen yellow clown gobies for $5.

Coral is an afterthought for them, they don't sell frags, just rocks with whatever on them. They have some good/unique pieces of LR every once in awhile.

I've made a couple purchases from them for my aquapod. It's like a garage sale....you need to rummage through the junk to find a gem.
