6th Avenue always gets a bad rap, and it's true that they treat their livestock terribly. However, the cramped quarters (those aquariums upstairs are going to go flyin' in the next earthquake), the brusqueness of the staff, the smell of incense, and the moldy food on the buddhist altar don't help; and I've seen equally despicable livestock conditions (tiny holding boxes, dying fish, unethical livestock choices etc.) in other Bay Area LFSs (aquarium concepts, for example), albeit in more presentable environments. That being said, I've made some incredible zoanthid purchases at 6th (including some beautiful teal blue colonies for $20), and the equipment is cheap. I refuse to buy fish there because of the stocking conditions... Lucky Ocean gets my business for fish...
