Welp, be on the lookout in the divers den for mislabeled fish being sold for ten bucks.

What do you guys and gals think?

That sucks.... Hopefully their service stays good

I think this helps out Petco, one of there biggest issues is taking an order and filling it correctly. With the LA system in tact things will work now like they are suppose to? Plus it gives LA another wholesaler to get fish from.

Like I said on the other post I think this helps out Petco, one of there biggest issues is taking an order and filling it correctly. With the LA system in tact things will work now like they are suppose to? Plus it gives LA another wholesaler to get fish from. I have had better luck with LA than DD in the past personally. I have heard stories of individuals who say bought a Red Sea Regal Angelfish from DD that was suppose to be eating and then did not eat for the new owner.

Great points Alton. I'm really looking at it like petco knows what they are buying and won't want to mess it up. More of a merger, making there portfolio look stronger before they hit the market to go public.


For all we know F&S was in financial trouble and petco is helping them from having to make changes to what has made them an industry leader. Can't beat em. Join em. Wishful thinking lol.

I see this as a "Sears buys Lands End" scenario. In the end, it will only be good for the owners of Drs F & S.

I hope they keep the free shipping over $49 so I can keep getting salt to my door for free.
