Yep, not in my area either. It's probably best that they don't, considering the extra level of care that SW requires.

I've heard rumors that they might experiment with saltwater fish at a couple stores (I work at one that's just as good, if not better than our corporate store). I'm calling it right now: it will be a disaster. People are idiots when it comes to freshwater fish. They do zero research. When people come in to ask about saltwater fish, I always groan. "What kind of table salt should I add to make the water salty?" Stuff like that. If I have to explain live rock one more time, I'm going to punch someone. Other than the lack of knowledge, I can see massive fish loss in stores due to employee laziness. Petsmart's saltwater dry good section is so tiny anyway, full of inferior equipment such as the Seaclone.
Anyway, back to the 10 for 10 deal. Not a bad deal, but the quality of the fish for sale is questionable because they are delivered by the hundreds (last week we got 300+ neons, the week before 100+ fantails, and 100+ CAEs). Sadly, a fraction of these die due to the crowded conditions and care mentioned above. I just don't see how you can charge $1 for a fish that is not worth half...but then that brings the whole argument of placing monetary value on life.
Sorry for the rant. I couldn't miss the chance to bring down the tone of this thread

My local Pet Smart sell's marine fish. (Or am I confusion them with Pet Co or Pets Choice or something ) Whoever they are (they're one of the big chains) I haven't visited them in time so I've no idea what they're like now. When I did go in, their number of SW tank was about 1/4 the number of FW tanks and their stocklist was the predicatable "staple fish". They looked healthy enough, although I may have been blinded somewhat by the flourescent day-glow gravel they insist on using.

I work at Petsmart we have the 10 for 10 deal going on, we don't touch salt water fish because they would more than likely all die and if your in the area I'll get you a discount

RockingCricket, I think you're thinking of Petco. They do sell saltwater fish, just the really basic ones. No guarantees, which is the only way they can make any money off it. If SW fish were guaranteed from chain stores, they'd have to take back 2/3 of them as bodies from ignorant consumers. Actually, around here no one (even the LFS's) guarantees SW fish at all.
