Best selection and prices
by secretshopper442 at Citysearch
I just left The Greentree Pet Center and had such a delightful experience:) They had such a fantastic selection of salt water fish and the tall guy who helped me was very insightful and let me know which fish would not be a good fit for my tank. I will tell all my "fish friends" to check them out! I am new to the hobbie and left there knowing much more than I did prior to my visit.
- Pros: Selection, special orders and great prices
- Cons: Too much Livestock to choose from

Prices can not be beat,no body else comes close!
As for fish fresh & salt, if you take time to look at them
alot of them are sickly, some have deadly illness ,
mostly in saltwater.SO LOOK at stock will,not just one tank
but most of them ,because they are on same system.
If saltwater manager would be more helpful instead
of being a azzhole and heip customers letting people buy
sick fish the owner may get some customers back !
I,myself know alot of people that stopped shopping
there.
- Pros: Prices,stock.
- Cons: saltwater manager is a azzhole! Sick fish! fresh & salt

Would not recommend buying any animals here

I really wish I could write a good review for this store. The big seller at the store seems to be their fish department, as over half the store is devoted to fish and fish supplies. They have a very nice fish selection, with everything from guppies to some less seen fish such as arowana and mudskippers. They have fresh, salt, and brackish water fish. Unfortunately, their fresh and brackish water fish tanks are very overstocked, with what seem to be sometimes nearly 100 fish in a 10 gallon aquarium (that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much). It is obvious they have troubles with their water quality as they had ammonia remover blocks in several of the aquariums. A couple tanks were being treated for ich using a salt treatment. Though I hate to see them having sick fish, I am happy that they were honest about it and were treating the fish properly for the illness. The saltwater tanks seem to be better taken care of, probably because they cost more. Their bettas are kept in small bowls and the water is dirty.
I have bought ten fish from them--one saltwater, three brackish, and six freshwater. Only three made it past a week. We also bought one newt from them. It died within a few days as well. They have virtually no guarantee on their fish (24 for freshwater, none for anything else, fish wise). The three that have made it were mudskippers--I imagine this is because these fish spend most of their time out of water and aren't as affected by water quality as other fish; they were, however, very skinny when I got them and I worried about them for several weeks until the finally fattened up a bit and settled in.
As far as their other animals go, the cages are overcrowded and dirty. Of course, it's very difficult to see the other animals as the cages are all kept in a room about 10 or 12 feet long and about six feet across. There is a small, narrow aisle in the room, probably about two feet across. As the store is oftentimes crowded, this room is usually very difficult to simply get into, let alone see the animals.
Overall, the store might be okay to buy supplies from, maybe even live rock and coral (we did buy some of live rock and a coral or two and they have been fine). However, I would caution against buying any animals here (other than corals)--unless you are willing to pay for it and lose it.
- Pros: Lots of fish, including some rarer ones, good prices
- Cons: Fish tanks are overstocked, fish in poor health, dirty cages
