Todd's Tropical Fish
- Thread starter Tadersalid
- Start date
I left the other day from Todd's ****ed. Won't give them my business again. They had a good selection of livestock and some anenome crabs I wanted to buy. However, the staff was too busy cleaning the store (though they didn't close for two more hours)...and weren't interested in answering any questions. The icing on the cake was I had to hit the restroom something fierce. I asked an employee if they had a restroom and she said they did, but Sam had the key and she didn't know where he was. A couple minutes later I saw a man ringing some people out and asked the girl again if that was Sam and she said it was. I went up, starting to do the peepee dance....and asked if they had a restroom. He said, "No we don't." I just stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Really?" He said, "nope". I was NOT in the mood that day to confront the issue and probably would've caused a scene. I just walked out knowing I would never be back and would spread my experience on.
Elite is a significant drive from Todd's. However Todd's isn't known for their customer service like Elite is. I'm sure they cater to "their people" and ignore the rest since they probably get a bunch of browsers. There is another store just up the street called Fish Place off Havana and Yale. They might be more service oriented however I wasn't as impressed with their stock. They did have a good supply of dry rock if you are looking for one or two pieces to finish off your tank.
Oh, I do...on a regular basis!! 
They are probably the closest next to Liquid Kingdom. I'm on the north side.
I hit them up too since I was just down there to check out a few new LFS's. LONG drive for me. We weren't too impressed with anything there. They had some used equipment, but nothing I could've used unfortunately. I might have missed the dry rock too...I didn't see anything. Aqua Imports in Boulder had some awesome dry rock that I would love to snag...just WAY to expensive. We're talking almost $50 for one piece of DRY rock. I dunno...just seemed too pricey to me.

If my Saturday opens up...I might just have to try them. Crappy that it's only open one day a week....what gives??
I went by Great Barrier a couple months ago when I was first getting started. Seen, done and learned so much since then I don't remember a whole lot. They all start running together honestly. I will say, except for Elite Reef...they stand out!! I remember the guy I spoke with at GBR was great to talk to and took the time to BS about stuff. I was impressed with that. OH...they had an AWESOME corner tank (over 200g I think). They wanted $1500 for it and my budget was about $1k, so it was a no go for me...but it was a cool tank. I had visions of a deep reef with nice swimming space in front.

Re: Todd's Tropical Fish
After a lengthy absence from going to Todd's due to their pricing and RO water quality we decided to drop in today. We left ****ed off. I will not go back. We have spent several hundred dollars there last year and were regular customers. Today we were treated as if we had the plague and could not even get any kind of response when we spoke to staff there. They could not even return our hello when we said it while making eye contact with them. We were the only customers in the store when we got there. We were there to make a purchase, we will not go back again, I have learned my lesson.
We have decided to only patronize the vendors that have made the decision to sponsor this community forum.

x2...I had one, and only one visit there. Totally treated like crap...when my better half asked if they had a restroom they flat told us no. She drove over to the 711. I then saw two people use their restroom ("friends of management i'm sure), which I investigated to learn was in fact a restroom. The treatment continued as bad as you experienced. It took everything I had to keep my patience and walk out without freaking out on someone there. Never again.
