I just wanted to see if any one had any hidden gem places to buy fish in Colorado Springs. I have had a hit and miss time with petco and petsmart. I have had several fish die, and almost infected my tank with ick. Also wanted to see if anyone had any good Endler or fancy guppies they wanted to sell. Thanks!

I have piles of Endler/Guppy hybrids.

Here's what they look like

There aren't any great stores in the Springs. I've heard nothing but good things about the Petsmart (Petco?) near Powers. The person who runs their fish dept. is a fish person, and apparently does a great job there.

The store I've had OK luck with is Seascape. The fish at least are typically healthy, tanks have their own filtration etc.

All the other fish stores I've been to in the springs were straight up bad. Sick fish, neglected tanks. I've walked out of every other store without buying anything, since they all looked sickly and poorly cared for.

Ok thanks! I will keep you in mind for the guppies as soon as I get my tank sorted out. Thanks for the tips!

Seascape is pretty good and the owners are nice and very helpful.
