Reviewed By: Kevin Jones Date Of Review: August/2006 Overall: Fair Times Visited: Five to Ten Times Freshwater Selection: Good Saltwater Selection: Good Stock Selection: Good Staff: Poor Prices: Poor Comments: They have a good selection of products and a beautiful display tank but service is kind of spotty and fish not always well taken care of. I have called several times asking if they had something specific in stock only to be told it was sold out once I get there a half hour later.
Their care of fish is not so hot either. They sell what is called Painted Glass Fish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis) which is basically a transparent fish that is injected with colored dye. It is a cruel thing to do to the fish, and makes them very prone to disease. They seldom survive more than a few months in an aquarium.
They also sell wild caught seahorses which are now endangered and probably illegal. They usually don’t even know the breed, don’t know how to take care of them. They don’t even bother to keep them in a species only tank as they will starve to death since they are very slow eaters.
