Comments: The staff at the store is very hesitant to special order ANYTHING (fish or supplies), but they take good care of the fish--all of them look healthy. Pricing on many of the fish is lower than even the chain stores, but you can usually do better on supplies at a place like PetSmart. Overall, they're friendly, and highly recommended if they carry what you need.

I've been in a few times. They usually have better bettas than the chain stores and the genuinelly seem to care about keeping their fish healthy. Prices are good for live rock and inverts if you are into marine. They don't sell a wide variety of supplies, but the overall health of the fish makes up for that.

Not bad at all in the 4-5 times I've visited. Decent selection of FW fish. All the basics with some of the more interesting stuff here and there.
Nice selection of SW fish and nice FW plants as well although a little overpriced on the plants.
Decent selection of tanks and aquariums as well as general pet supplies.
Friendly staff. I had no problem exchanging a fish with deformity I only noticed when I got it home. They were very helpful, answered any and all questions I had on each visit and understanding of quality.

Visited once, wouldn't bother to go back. I'm into fresh. They have lots of marine. FW fish selection not too impressive, tanks need cleaning. Not horrible, just lots better stores closer to me.
