Cons:

"Only thing you have to watch is the attitude from some of the workers, and they're not very polite about it!!!π"
"One of the younger ladies has kind of an attitude for no reason."
"The worker that helped me with him was also VERY rough with getting him in the net so that didn't impress me."
"Iβve been her twice for fish and both times the gentlemen that helped me terrorized the fish during catching them, not even kind of gentle."
"Iβve gotten severe attitude multiple times here, all times coming from the young girls that work here."

Store and Selection
Pros:
"They also sell a lot of small fish tanks, things like half-gallons and even smaller cubes."
"The atmosphere is great and I will 100% go back again."
"Love this place. They always have what I need and everyone knows their stuff when it comes to proper care."
"Great store with a large selection. They are very reasonable and they are worth the local business support 10/10 times."
"Fantastic selection, great customer service, feels like family!"
"They have a great selection of species, and their fish are well-cared for --- something hard to find these days!"
"Prices are very competitive, there's a good variety of species."
Cons:
"This place should be shut down permanently !! They donβt even deserve the one star I was forced to give them !π‘"
"The other gouramis that died were all dwarf and it could be dwarf gourami disease... but still.. the dying trend is suspicious of something from their setup."
"Many showed signs of illness and stress. Several tanks had one or more dead fish in them."
"Unfortunately the staff doesn't know as much about fish as I would expect from a mom and pop shop."
"I really liked this place for supplies but donβt think Iβll buy their fish anymore. I bought $40 worth of fish and they were all dead within 3 days."
"Before I purchased fish from here I had the healthiest tank ever. Brought 2 Oscars and feeder fish from here, 20 minutes later everything in my tank is dying."
"A nice variety of fish, but the proportion of tanks that had multiple dead fish was off-putting."
Prices and Value
Pros:
"The prices are comparable to online prices and are often cheaper than other pet stores."
"Great store. Good prices and the animals are worth every penny."

"Good prices and they have a lot compared to the size of the store."
"This is a store full of solutions to all your petβs needs, at a very reasonable price."
"Way more variety of fish than the big chains and they actually take care of the fish."
Cons:
"Expect to pay 30 dollars for dubia roaches."
"The prices are too high for Half dead fish."
"He did have a hemorrhage on his fin that I unfortunately only noticed after getting him home."
"I like this store and it close by me but the reason I gave the 4 stars is cause if they sell you a sick fish by mistake or one just die over night, you dont give a refund and these lil fish are pricey."
"Aquarium guy told me my plant for my aquarium was 5 bucks, then turns around and writes 5.99 and I didn't notice until after I checked out."
"Prices seem to be much higher in stores then stated on the website."
"Iβm very upset with the fish and how every time I buy fish they die and you can not return anything."
