Comments: Though it's not as well-kept as Petco, most of their tanks are full of healthy-looking fish. I usually see almost no dead or sick-looking fish in their freshwater tanks. Their selection is pretty diverse, with fair prices, for their freshwater selection.
 
Their plant selection is a little better than what most places have, if not a bit disorganized. I definitely prefer them over Petco or Petsmart for fish and plants since they seem to know what they're doing, plus the owners are knowledgeable and friendly.
 
In addition, they also have a big saltwater selection. I'm not too knowledgeable in this area but all I can say is that things were pretty clean, with no dead or dying animals in their tanks.
 
They have a surprisingly decent selection of tanks from big 100g to nanos, along with all the other aquarium-related supplies you'd expect to find.
Decent pricing as well.
 
Finally, they even have a small section for snakes, lizards, turtles, and other weird things (stick insects, tarantulas, etc.).
