😠 I was there yesterday with a friend and our kids. I knew of their strict policy of no tapping the aquarium. I am fully aware of the negative effect it has on the fishes. I informed the kids but kids can be forgetful or “makulit” at times. A male staff grabs my sons shoulder and says “no tapping”.... People often mention kids,

    Pet City Hobbyist is where I get most of my Aquarium supplies. They also have tank services and a variety of aquatic plants that you might not be able to find elsewhere. You could even pass some time in this place given that it's hard to tear your eyes away from their display tanks.

    I was there yesterday with a friend and our kids. I knew of their strict policy of no tapping the aquarium. I am fully aware of the negative effect it has on the fishes. I informed the kids but kids can be forgetful or “makulit” at times. A male staff grabs my sons shoulder and says “no tapping”. I was shocked. You don’t touch other peoples kids or anyone’s kids for that matter. Staff could’ve been more assertive in handling the situation rather than physically handling my kid. Pet stores should be a fun and educational experience for both kids and adults. Not every visit customers will buy an animal or supplies. I bought a hamster for my son at pet city bgc and regularly buy wood shaving food there. His hamster has passed away and just recently he has been trying to convince us to buy him a fish for his birthday. I try to educate him how to properly care for a fish and what a big responsibility it is. I’m a possible REPEATER” customer. I am so dismayed. My son loves to dropby the store all the time but the staff is always frowning and im not exaggerating because i am from Serendra. Train your staff to be more professional, kind and accommodating. Most of the times it is the kids who take interest in the animals. In this branch they usually have fish, rats, and hamsters only.

    Pet City store has the most extensive product range for you to choose from. From Dogs, Cats and Fish food, acessories. Aquarium products. Tbeir product display is a total standout as you can only.see it from this store and not found with other stores in Cartimar. Product lrice range from the cheap ones up to most expensive ones. But of you have the money to spent then this place is good for you to buy things for your pets.

    This shop specializes more on aquatic pets and aquascaping. It's pricier here than other shops in Cartimar and other nearby shops, but I can say it's worth it. The staff are accommodating and are knowledgeable - they made sure the fishes we bought are safe by tying the corners of the bag with rubber bands (i.e. to prevent them from getting stuck), and also gave us tips on how to acclimatize the fishes. Lastly, they issue an official receipt, which is very reassuring of the quality of the pets we bought.

    Knowledgeable staffs. The one who assist us is very patient, kind and not pushy seller. My husband is new to acquascaping hobby and this is a 1 stop shop for acquascaping needs. Price is not cheap but on the fair side and we did canvas to other stores not only in cartimar. I can also recommend e primate and marine in marikina for acquatic/acquascaping needs.

👍 Parking can be a challenge. Parking is not free. We went here to buy a 20-gallon aquarium, some plants and fish. The sellers are found in different booths. Most of them are nice and accommodating. There are a few who could benefit from eating some sugar or maybe a spa. Too bad fish spa is not a thin...
