This place should be renamed "World of Cichlids, Dust, Algae and 20 Year Old Carpet" because that…read moreis exactly what you will find here. BF took the fam on a mystery trip tonight and we pulled around back into the questionable parking lot. Questionable to the point that I wondered why in the world would he be taking us to a seedy adult book store almost an hour away from home? But, alas, the sign on the door said "Cichlid World". Relief! Fish porn is always a more acceptable prospect. A former addict, the BF has fallen off the fish wagon over the last couple of months after a long spell and perhaps a 10 step program along the way. The nudge may have been my fault by mentioning that it might be nice to get a 10 gallon tank for The Kid. Today there are EIGHT tanks of varying sizes going with plans for a HUGE 9th (the frame is in progress as we speak). It's something I can live with because I suppose my problems could be worse. I could be contending with endless trips to the bar and/or a bevy of loose women in Man World. Back to the joint at hand...before we walk in the BF goes, "The last time I was here was probably about 20 years ago." Now, I don't know exactly how long CW has been around, but based on immediate appearance, it doesn't look like much has changed. Even though it was quite dark when you walked in, once your eyes adjusted, it was quite obviously dirty and not kept up in many moons. The bunched, taped down carpet was probably vacuumed about 2 months ago minimum. The dust was CRAZY and supply storage and display was completely haphazard up high, down low and behind the counter. I have been to pet stores and fish specialty stops, but none were 'kept up' quite like this. About the 150 or so tanks that I counted (was bored while other customers were being attended to) those comprised about 90% that were lit up, filled and working. The algae in the tanks was prevalent and the sponge filters needed a-changing. The fish didn't look 'unhappy', and there weren't any dead ones floating around, but the people here have to realize that when complacency and happiness meet, the results are not always harmonious. Especially from a customer's point of view. I mean, c'mon, how hard is it to remove the rubber bands and pieces of broken plastic from the tank below the counter with the big fish swimming in it? The tank that EVERYONE can't miss if they tried (see my pics). LAZY! Cichlid World embodies the 'Broken Window Effect' to be sure. The long-haired guy behind the counter (owner?) seems well-versed in the world of cichlids, if not the universe, and exhibited an affable demeanor. CW's website comes off cheeky and informative. The knowledge and selection seems to be there in terms of the actual fish. However, the incongruent execution of it all is quite puzzling to me. They did make an effort to put up some Christmas garland, Elf on a Shelf guy and a full nativity scene in a tank. Why not dust the dust? I don't know, but somehow this place must be doing something right considering it is still in operation. Though one can only wonder if they could be doing a whole lot better with some cleaning tools, products and a little elbow grease. Perhaps Cichlid World has just 'got it like that', but I would bet that they could probably sell a MILLION cichlids a year if they simply upped their cleaning game a bit. (Apologies for the twisted pics. I 'righted' them on my end, still uploaded with weirdness.)

He gave us a lot of advice and answered all our questions, didn't brush off any questions and made sure to explain things in detail. We'll definitely come back here to purchase some fish later.

No excuse whatsoever. They got into the business because they thought they were going to make a lot of money but if you're not cut out for that type of work, then it's time to leave there's more to a job than just money.
