Supply side...

Been keeping fish for over a decade now. Big Al's is my "go to" shop. Certainly the best place on the South, East...and perhaps North side of town! They stock all things fish and reptile. If they don't have it...ask. They will likely order it. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great selection of fresh water, salt water fish. Tropical, Cichlids, goldfish. They also carry snakes, frogs and I do believe the odd spider. Great place to find that perfect tank for your home decor.

This place needs to be stopped with all their kittens. I'm about to leave the store with ten…read morekittens every time I come in here. I can hear the meowing in my dreams and want to stop by everyday to enjoy kitten time. This is an unassuming little place in St. Albert, but I like it! It's one of those pet stores that feels as though it's from the past because they still feel alive with pets. We don't get to St. A very often at all, but they have bomb prices in comparison to other places, so it's worth a stop in when we are in town. Case in point: the cat hammock in Petland was $54 and the cat hammock here was $23 (?!?!?!). That's an insane savings. We also got tongs for $11, and they're usually like $25 at Petland. Same brand of Exoterra Tongs too. Crazy. I also got four frozen rats for like $5 each or something? I was impressed by that price for petite rats. We're not feeding our new rescue snake live anymore and she is taking to frozen quite well, so I'm down for the savings and not having to feed live (my heart couldn't handle it). Staff is just OK. It tends to be young kids that don't really know what is going on, prices of things or information on products. They're not too interested in answering your questions so it's kind of like a fend for yourself situation. I know what I'm looking for though so it's all good. I'll be back for the prices and variety of items.

This is the best place to get meal worms. You can buy regular sized or super worms that are very…read moregross and fat. They come in a clear plastic container filled with fresh dirt and a bunch of pinkish meal worms that are happily squirming around, doing the things that meal worms do. The prices of their worms are very reasonable, and there's many different sizes as well. I still find them disgusting though, and I often feel like they are going to someone get out of the container and start crawling all over me. I haven't been to Paradise Pet Centre for much else other than the worms, but this is a really nice store that is kept very clean and organized. The staff is really helpful and nice too. I used to have a fish, so sometimes I'd browse the fish merchandise, but it's pretty expensive. I found PJ's Pets and Petcetera to be cheaper.
