Fish Doctors in Ypsilanti

[dexternovice]

This is the closest LOS that I have found.  Has anybody dealt with them? Prices on some things seem great but others, not so much. Any warnings or should I feel good about doing business with them?

A+++ store I never had any problems With them but they do feed there fish feeders which is not heathly for fish like Oscar and other cichlids

I've been stopping in there for years.  If they have something I want & it's within my budget,  then I don't hesitate buying it.

I also have a few used tanks that I've bought from there & Tom (the owner) was very helpful when I was deciding which tanks to buy.

Thank you both.  Good to hear that it is a good place to do business. If you'll forgive my ignorance,  what's wrong with using feeders for oscars?

[Regalblue]

Feeders are generally packed with disease & hold little to no nutritional value.

Hikari frozen krill and some quality veggie pellets are a much better choice for those cosidering feeding feeders to their fish.

I stopped by the store today. I told them I am a newby and "shopping" and "learning". The person spent a lot of time answering my questions and guiding me around the store without high pressure sales techniques.

I will definitely be back and buy from them.

What type of fish did they have bbq?

[thebbqguy]

They have miscellaneous cichlids. I am so new to cichlids I can't remember specific names. Sorry.

I haven't been there in probably 1.5 years, but in the past they've had figure 8 puffers, various brackish gobies, all your more common American cichlids (e.g. convicts, green terrors, blue and gold rams, angelfish, etc), and then a large selection of saltwater fish and corals.  African cichlids too but I've never been into those much so didn't pay much attention.

As far as supplies, they had some cool smaller tanks for sale at reasonable prices; not sure about pricing on larger tanks but I'm sure their stock of used tanks fluctuates week to week.

I guess my point is if you're within 30-45 minutes it's probably worth the drive at least once to check them out.
