mcrudd Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Its been there for two months but I only found it today, I love them because their stuff is so nicely priced. They have 50% off all filters at the moment and the cutest little puppy at the back :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrudd Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 http://www.petstopshop.co.nz/m.aspx?m=Aquatic the-obstacle I am aware of the Animates but if I require a heater which is super over priced at Animates I need to drive all the way to Hollywoods, but now I can go to Petstop their prices are affordable Zev that Puppy is soooo cute, but you are right I am going to have several grumpy fish if I get a puppy :slfg: However I can make up for it with all the nice stuff they sell there for fish. Josh I read it Petshop the first time I went to them in Dominion road too :rotf: I am so glad they are here, now I don't have to drive so far just for my hikare algae wafers. Animates used to sell them, but they no longer do. All in all, I just wanted to let you all know :happy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually buy Aquaone heaters off trade me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculator Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 So where in botany is it? I am going to have to go and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It's just down the road from Animates. Near the China Town bit. I saw it the other day. Do they have any cool fish? The Mt Eden one does occasionally but I haven't checked this one out! Get a puppy and keep fish! It works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurff Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 i have been into the petstop a couple of times now, i prefer animates and hollywood may have to stop in there and look at the puppies now though! its at 254 Ti-Rakau drive http://maps.google.com/maps?q=East+Tamaki,+Auckland,+New+Zealand&hl=en&ll=-36.925709,174.891379&spn=0.002444,0.004823&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.592876,79.013672&vpsrc=6&geocode=FZRKzP0dbapsCg&t=h&z=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I love them because their stuff is so nicely priced. Really?? I find the opposite to be true. Everytime I go into a Petstop, it's only to kill time lol, I always leave empty-handed. If you compare the prices of say, fish food between Petstop and HFF, the difference is about $10-20. Their puppies are cute, but I won't buy fish from them. Their tanks are always covered in algae, have dead fish in them and generally don't show that they care for their fish as much as their furry animals. The two branches on Dominion Road and in Newmarket also have a couple of marine tanks which never have any fish inside but are constantly overrun with brown algae. I hope that the branch in Botany is better managed, but if you're passing by the Dominion Road/ Newmarket branches, don't bother stopping by - you're better off driving a little bit more to get to HFF Mt Roskill.

smurff Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 have to agree with ally about the care for the fish, was in the botany fishstop and there were a quite few upside down floaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing dead fish can be a real pain when serving customers, although there should be none in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Removing dead fish can be a real pain when serving customers, although there should be none in the first place That would be a good excuse if they served customers. I went in there and didn't even get a hello :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I went there today and met the cute dog! My dog who's only a little (but has a lot of muscle) weighs almost 7kgs, the man says the poodle weighs 4 and it looks big compared to mine! It was amusing me that it's only a tiny dog under that big afro! He told me it's the "teddy bear cut". Both the puppies there today were super cute too! There was a couple of nice looking goldfish but I went to look at the platies and even though I love red wag ones and there was some nice healthy looking ones I didn't buy any because the water was cloudy and greyish and some of the others looked a bit unhealthy. A couple of the angelfish looked a bit the same. Some of the tanks seemed very tiny too. But I was pleased that two people asked if I needed help and didn't hang around for a sale when I said no like some of the other sales people do at other stores.

I agree! Their service is almost TOO good haha. When you enter, someone will approach you and ask if you need help. You say no, they move on. Someone ELSE will walk out of the storeroom or another part of the store, see you and approach you and ask if you need help. Haha, too much of a good thing can be bad (or maybe there's no pleasing some people :roll:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
