I just want to add that this is more of a comparison. Niether place is perfect, fish die, period, fish get sick, period, there is nothing we, they, or anyone can do about it. Its how the owners handle it to keep, you, the customer happy. Both place had deaths, but at Alamo, the tanks are open, fish jump out, crap falls in, I had to say something to many a customers to keep their hands out of the tanks. I know I am coming off as a CB Pets lover, but I am just being honest. I will admit that I have not yet been to Fintique or Arwanna Pets, but I have been to Darby's, Forever Pets, Petland, Petco, and a few places in Houston. I would love to check them out when I have the time.
