dwarf - I remember the Lynnwood Jones and Co.

I also seem to remember them having an Everett Mall location. Does anyone else remember that, or am I just making that up?

The Lynnwood Jones was one of the first pets stores i ever went to as a kid. At least its the first one i remember going too. I also got my first 29 gallon tank/stand as a christmas gift from the Everett mall Jones. I got so many reptiles from the Everett mall Jones growing up. I was sad when that one closed down.

I can't believe that they are just closing it down without even trying to sell the company or even hand it down.

When I was there they were saying the landlord was basically pushing them out (shrinking the location and raising rent)... Maybe they could be convinced to move?

I used to go there as a kid and look at fish, or try to find crickets which had gotten loose and were inside the store making noise- a lot of times we found them in the bulk 'small furry animal' or bird feed containers. I don't remember too much besides that and seeing the little neon tetras and thinking those were the best fish ever. Back then I knew a kid who had a ton of tanks and reptiles/amphibians, and my mom had a 20? gallon tank, so we went there pretty often.

edit; Vicmacki, did they have any mts or other digging/burrowing snails left?

They had a few nerites, otherwise all their tanks have about 100 little snails in them.

Went this morning, a lady bought all the rainbows, a gentlemen bought all the cichlids. And i bought everything else. Got one Striata Botia, Synodontis Pleurops, Orange Bumblebee Catfish, 7 green swordtail fry, 1 Lemon Tetra fry, Female Apisto of some sort,and two bristlenose. He was nice enough to dig through everything to find all these stray fish. Only feeder goldfish left and one salt water fish.
