    Aster is on the turtle blossom is on the top

    for a year or so my daughter has been begging for a pet she really wanted a betta fish so we went to the store to check it out, we met a VERY helpful employee who gave us soooo much information about keeping fish. Thanks to Joe, my daughter now has two fish a betta (blossom) and an Otto cat (aster)! every now and then when I go to bensons my daughter asks if I saw Joe the Betta man!

    Leo and Lilly run for Benson's doors!

    Not to be confused with The Pep Zone, which is the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City pay, I…read moremean play. I found this place heartbreaking and not just because there are so many dogs begging for homes and not just because the concept itself is very sad - but also because the conditions weren't very good, and they often aren't in shelters either but those are no profit places, and this is a profit making store, so I don't get it. I mean I get it but I don't want to get it. I've seen worse but it's still heartbreaking and I highly encourage you to adopt a dog from a no-kill shelter rather than places like this, so that a place like this doesn't have the money to keep doing what it's doing.

The workers stated to me, we are not allowed to wash them. I kept my puppy which was way over priced for her own safety. It's been a year and half. My puppy has had many vet visits. Her neck is deformed, which causes many expensive bills. She is the most loveable fur baby ever, yet she was not full breed, she is not a healthy pup as they state. Her pedigree papers according to vet can not be accurate. She is not a mini poodle only. Definitely a mixed breeding. If you can not properly care for the animals by cleaning them you should not be allowed to cage nor sell them period.

I was there today and it wasn't busy, but the shipment was being unloaded. I pulled my ticket but no one was calling out numbers. I finally asked a woman for help but she said "I don't work here but I'll let them know". At that point I just left. I've been ignored there for 25 years going back to the old Latham location. One positive experience I had was a few years ago. They had species plant I wanted but there was only a couple left. The salesman informed me that they had some that were yet to be unpacked in the back room. Long story short he was reprimanded for selling plants that weren't yet in the display case (in front of me while I was checking out). That ruined the experience and made me feel I did something wrong. So I guess I never had a positive experience, I just witnessed someone going above and beyond being treated like trash. It's sad to say, but I'm actually happier walking in and not seeing anything I want to buy. The stressful part is seeing something I want and having to jump through hoops to get someone's attention and get service. To sum things up it's not really worth the stress for me and I will go elsewhere from

    My name is Jessica and I live in Boston, Massachusetts. As a marine biologist, during a recent…read morevisit my husband and I were disappointed to see Eddie's Aquarium Centre housing incompatible species together -- for example, Flagtail Porthole Catfish (Dianema urostriatum), Kribensis Cichlids (Pelvicachromis pulcher), Butterfly Plecos (Dekeyseria sp.), and Congo Tetras (Phenacogrammus interruptus) in the same tank. These fish require different water parameters and have very different temperaments, which creates stress and weakens their immune systems. Stressed fish are far more likely to develop ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, or "white spot disease"), and once one fish is infected, the entire tank is at risk. Unfortunately, stores that mix species like this often deny responsibility and may mislead customers to avoid refunds or replacements. For anyone buying fish from any store that displays mixed species, I strongly recommend quarantining and proactively treating for potential bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections before adding them to your main aquarium. This precaution protects both your tank and your fish.
