Where to Buy Discount Fish Tank Supplies

Video Transcript

"My name is Ryan Wells and I'm a local owner of a fish store located in Lindon, Utah. There are lots of different places you can go to receive fish supplies. Some of your discount items or places where you may be able to find things that are cheaper than your standard sales prices would be your classifieds. There are lots of different classifieds in different locations. Some of your more popular ones are Thrifty Nickel. There is also a lot of E-bays or other auction sites like that. You are able to pick up different discounts there. I recommend that you go to your local fish store. They may be able to help you find a place with lower priced items or discount items. They can also let you know whether that item you may have found for a great price is actually worth the money that you paid for it or not. If you are looking to purchase previously used items or especially livestock, say somebody has a fish they are no longer wanting to keep and you are interested in purchasing that from an individual. Some of the key signs you may want to look for is to make sure that that fish is eating very well. You also want to make sure that the stomach is not pinched in or that it doesn't have any different types of bones or ribs that are showing through its scales. Some of the other things you may want to look for is any abnormality in its swimming and its behavior towards other fish. You also want to look for some common diseases such as ic or other general parasites. Make sure that you are buying a relatively hardy specimen and that you are not buying something that is sick and will not last very long."
