    All the pet stores near me get their fish from Segrest and they are all in pretty lousy condition. I get a lot of fish shipped to me and although they can look a bit rough from their travel they never look as bad as the fish that Segrest delivers.

      Look how crowded and unkept these tanks and fish are....it doesn't suprise me at all!

    I work for a pet store that gets fish from these breaders and thay are so full of diseases that we usually can expect to lose almost half of the fish we get in I recommend anyone who has a choice to stay as far from them as possible

    I like seeing how that place operates I just wish they sourced their fish better. All of the fish that come to my local fish store are sourced from Segrest. I have bought many peacocks that have turned out to be females after coloring down. Outside of the peacocks the fish seem decent. It's not a place for the purist in the hobby but they provide a lot of ornamental fish for the big box consumers. Thanks for sharing!

    Unfortunately their quality has gone down over the years according to a lot of local fish stores ive talked with. All the stores in central fl that ive talked to go with more local breeders.
