Worst customer service ive had in years but great selection. Had a fish die and it took a lot of brain damage to have the manager tell me I couldn't be helped without receipt after spending a hundred bucks cash on fish the other day. Keep your receipts. Your word is no good. I could care less about the $20 fish but the fact I've shopped there for years and drove across the city. Won't be going back here.

I go to all sorts of pet stores, but when I really want good advice about something to do with my dog, fish or crab, I go to Pisces.
First of all, it's huge. Second of all I've never gotten bad advice from the staff there. They really know what they're talking about, and if they don't know they'll ask another staff member.
They have specialty pets, products and a humongous saltwater sealife area...and lots of parking!
I find that the brand of dog food that I buy is usually cheaper at one of the chain pet stores, though. -

This store needs an overhaul from a Master Organizer! In the quest for a Biorb, a fashionably round tank that most fish geeks would clamour for, I visited Pisces and though they had many an aquarium, they are quite unorganized and their aquariums were squashed together. Though I was impressed they carried Biorb (which is harder to find in Canada), looking for their Biorb accessory prices was a hair-puller as there were missing price tags. Unfortunately, the actual Biorb floor demo was a graveyard of gunky water.
That being said, they do have a monkey exhibit (only for peeky, no buy-ey) and they have lovely koi for those serious about the hobby. The Koi rep singlehandedly redeemed the store by being a mogul of knowledge and even tho we weren't looking to buy these gorgeous Japanese fish *laughs*. Nonetheless, impressive and I may be able to play the Jeopardy koi category a little better! -

I was in need of a few doggie supplies and I happened to be in the neighborhood of Pisces Pets. This place is huge and disorganized, so that made it hard to track down the things I was looking for. After weaving through the aisles I was able to find some great toys for my pup. I was looking for a martingale collar, they had a few, but not many sizes or choices. I was able to track down a guy working there, but he didn't really know what I was talking about and just pointed out the area I had already found. Thanks for nothing! So I just grabbed a collar hoping it would fit. They had some cool toys and pet gadgets, the prices were standard it seemed. They didn't have much for pets, a few kittens and puppies. They do let you go in a private room if you are interested in looking at a pet. There is a massive fish area that I didn't even dare to go in.
Once I got home, the collar didn't fit. So I returned a few days later and had no issue exchanging the collar for a bigger one. I wasn't allowed a refund, which I would have preferred due to their lack of collar options. The collar I ended up with was a bit more expensive and doesn't hold its size, thus it was a waste of money.
I wasn't wowed by my experience with Pisces Pets. In the future it won't be my first choice for my pet needs. -

Pisces is pretty good, it's cheap compared to a lot of the other stores in the city.
The only problem I have is that they really don't know how to care for reptiles... AT ALL. Their cages don't have the proper heating for snakes and none of their cages have any hiding spots or proper substrate.
I looked at some of their cornsnake babies this year and they were all rather weak and not in the greatest of health.
