Comments: Ed's Pet World has been around for more than 25 years and is owned by Ed, but I don't know if Ed is actually running the store right now like he used to.
 
February, 2005 I took a look at the fish and was pretty grossed out. At least 2 of the tanks were full of fish with white, cotton-looking patches on their mouths. Approximately 30% of the tanks had dead fish in them, mostly bloated. They appeared and smelled like they had been dead for longer than 24 hours.
 
Two people were working. One was running the store and the other was scooping fish out for people. Scooper said he didn't know anything about fish and the guy in charge was busy enough that I left after about 40 minutes without being able to ask any questions.
