Sixth Avenue Aquarium

I have found the staff helpful and knowledgeable and are able to answer questions about equipment set-up. I have consistently found that this store has the best selection of goldfish in the San Francisco Bay area and have regular shipments to ensure new stock and variety. In comparing breed characteristics of the various goldfish types on the Internet, their goldfish have representatives from most types exhibiting desired breed characteristics - as compared to the chain pet stores that primarily stock culled non-show quality goldfish. As many of the goldfish are in small tanks, it appears that they have adequate filtration as I don't see the fish gasping for air or darting about. As best practices for aquarists includes quarantining new fish in a separate tank before putting in the aquarist' intended tank for antibiotic treatment and observation, it appears that fish bought this store - as any other - would also be recommended to help their transition and protect the established fish from any new diseases. This store has the best prices around for equipment and hard to find filters.
