joff_nz Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I noticed yesterday there is a new Pet Centre opening in upper hutt, between where the mall is and smiths city. Had a peek inside, it says opening early June but there's not much inside yet. Huge premises though, will be great to see a new pet shop in upper hutt, current one is a bit lacking. Anybody know anything about it or involved with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Interesting. I wouldn't have thought there would be the population to support it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsarmina Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 it is the same people who own The Pet Centre in lower hutt (formally Hutt Pet Centre) it's bound to be of the same high standard as their other 2 stores (lower hutt and porirua) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Very cool, went there today, quite big not much fish stock at the moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joff_nz Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 No was a little disappointed in the fish stock, lots of mollies, guppies, plus red tailed sharks, electric yellows, plenty of goldfish. Great large store though with room to move and a lot of options, friendly staff, hope they get some more interesting fish in once they are more established Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The level of stock was a bit disappointing. I was wanting an internal filter and the only brands they had was Fluval and Tank Mate. I heard someone asking for an Aqua One internal who was probably disappointed. Although the fish weren't in the sale, the stock they had on hand was a bit disappointing. I think if you're going to have an opening sale - do it with a bang and stock it well. On a side note: this seems to be the only website that is loading for me tonight - dunno what is going on.

joff_nz Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Stopped in today as I needed a net. Definitely improving stocks, saw today An arowana at $129. Tried to take a pic on my phone but no dice Gold? And dark Oscars ( I've never seen these as juveniles, they look funny when small.) Severums. As well as ciclids, guppies, mollys, axolotls, goldfish. Sales guy said their breeder is big into bettas so they expect to have plenty in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
