Pam's Pets & Fish

-10/10 place. we went to start up an aquarium for our family. We were told that we could buy the tank & tank decor & after 24 hours we could go pick up tetras & a shark. the following day we pick up our fish, go home follow all of the steps. after doing so, our tank went to trash. cloudy, smelt bad, the fish were not happy. we back to pam’s with water for them to test & they said i added to many fish at the beginning & now they’re sick with ich & boarder line ammonia. bought what they recommended, salt, a sponge bubbler, more bacteria etc. finally got our tank situated/level with all of the things, & we were told we could add snails & a mini pleco, same steps as told prior. the whole tank same down with ich again. so i went back up there told them i already did the salt & it didn’t help

I wish I didn’t live so far from here (although my wallet is probably happier!). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they have a wide selection of freshwater and saltwater fish, even coral and small animals- ferrets, guinea pigs, various birds, axolotl (soo cool!!), hamsters etc. The store smelled very clean and every tank was clean so I know they are spending a lot of time cleaning up after the animals. I was too busy looking at the wide selection of food, supplies, and animals that I didn’t think to take pictures. Would recommend and will definitely be buying more supplies for our various pets at home next time I come to or near Abilene for another Dr appointment!

From what I read beta tropical fish weather male or female will fight and even fight to the death add an employee initially sold me 10 beta and I didn't know and I bought five more which cost me $150. From what I read it doesn't matter what size tank you use it doesn't matter how much more you feed them or how many artificial plants you put in the tank. I suggest play some notice but they should be kept in isolation. Maybe I read it wrong but this is what Google told me when I read it

This is a great little shop we go to all the time they can be a bit low on stock at times but normally its not a problem the people I have met working there are always so nice, its pretty cheap and this is where we get most of our more common pet items

Truly a most wonderful pet supply store. The folks are really nice and very attentive. My primary stop when I go into town.
