Stadium Mall, 4510 Salt Lake Blvd (488-8843)

Small shop, tightly packed in the corner across Pizza Hut. Sells a decent assortment of accessories. Looks to specialize in freshwater fish stock and supplies. A large variety of fish can be found here from Cichlids, Tetra, Goldfish, Discus, Fighting Fish, among many others, with a good selection of aquariums to display them with if your in the market for that as well. I ended up picking up a Betta Sphere for the office as it was on sale (at the best price I found so far), but then I splurged on the Betta. I bought the full moon tail type…. I like the sound of that for some reason.

The shop also carried a couple of guinea pigs, mice, a couple of cockatiels, canaries, and Jackson chameleons. There was one star that really shined out from the rest, even though there was no lights in the aquarium it swam in. Thats the cichlid in the middle of the banner picture up top. I have never seen a cichlid with such vivid colors, not for sale by the way – this fish would be the pride of any aquarium. I’ll have to do more research on it and add it to my petpedia.

Overall nice shop, tightly cramped though with a great selection of freshwater fish.

City Square Shopping Center (841-5234)
Business Hours: Mon-Fri from 9-7pm and Sat & Sun from 9-5pm.

Nice shop located at 1199 Dillingham Blvd, carries a nice assortment of pet accessories. Looks to cater to the freshwater aquarium enthusiast with a wide selection of aquariums, accessories, and a variety of fresh water fish.

There were some puppies when I visited though they looked older than what I would prefer. I also saw Chinchillas and a selection of birds, of which they had a beautiful selection of finches. Along side the register counter they had a few turtles, a couple of frogs, and a Jackson Chameleon or two.

Windward Mall (235-6477)

Great shop located within Windward Mall. Sells a variety of pets and supplies, even showcases exotic pets as well, although they may or may not be for sale. At the time I visited they were attempting to breed the hairless guinea pigs in the above picture and therefore were not for sale. Although they were selling miniature Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs for $699.95. The sign on display states they grow from 35 to 65 pounds (First time I ever saw anything like that for sale at a pet store.).

I have visited the shop on various occasions and they always seem to have a couple of puppy breeds on sale. Usually I see mix-terrier types. Last time I visited they had Golden Retrievers which were already sold by the time I saw them. I have seen kittens once in a while, usually the common breed. Bunnies, dwarf bunnies, and guinea pigs can also be found here. As well as a good assortment of freshwater fish- tetra, goldfish, some cichlids, clown knife and a small selections of saltwater fish, including baby eels. Next to their fish you can find a small selection of turtles and jackson chameleons. They have a good assortment of birds as well, including a variety of parrots.

Overall though this is a nice size shop with a good selection. Everytime I come to Windward mall I find myself walking through to see whats new.
