I think red ears can be smaller as long as it is sold for educational purposes.....or something like that.

Re: pet city

taken from http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild...pecies/slider/ :

"Baby red-eared sliders were once very popular as children's pets until it was discovered that some of them carried the disease, salmonella. It is now illegal to sell sliders less than 4 inches in diameter. Most wild animals make very poor pets and are best observed in their native habitat."

The signs say "For educational purposes only". You'll notice that no price is listed (at most stores). They say this in case an inspector comes in and sees them.

Re: pet city

Well, I went to pet city today, the place isnt all that bad. Some tanks in the back were kinda cloudy but overall the fish were healthy. Some stuff is over priced but the guy who worked there was very nice and answered my questions to the best of his knowledge. I would rate this store 3.75 out of 5.00.

Re: pet city

asked about the petro today he said it was WC and was for sale for $175.00!!! They also had about 4 clown loaches anywhere from 4-6" long in the display tank for sale.
The petro was priced alittle high for me, Iam no expert on them though, esp without knowing for sure that it was a WC fish. It was pretty either which way, he was jet black with long trailers, mean little bugger it was trying to pick a fight with some bogwood but couldnt fit it in its mouth

I purchased the Maltese for $850 which is a bit pricey but it didn't matter as long as he had papers and could be registered. I'm very disappointed that I was lied to by the sales woman Samantha. I find out almost 2 weeks later that ACA registration does not mean you can also register with AKC. Now I am stuck with this puppy that I can do nothing with. I want some of my money returned or you can have the dog and refund all of my money. The fact I was deceived does not sit well with me. They don't want to answer the phone and when they do - they are not owning up to the lies that were told. People need to know about PET CITY and it's shady practices . BEWARE!

I have trained a few dogs that were aquired from pet ****ty. Most were terrible, one was blind by the time she was two. A $1500 surgery later and she can see. You get what you pay for.
