Great first to review ! Here we go…read more.. I didnt take pictures but im for sure going back! Dont get fishy with me read on..... So new store new look walk up and the two workers were friendly and cool starting off , walked in and its baaaad aaaass... big tanks everywhere ! Big fish everywhere ! They let us roam around just me and my brother n law and my 4 yr old nephew with out watching and hassling us . They had many type of FRESHWATER fish , all fresh so dont go trippin for salt. I like how Donnie & his partner are a helping people who cant house their fish anymore and hold down a rescue inside the store so they have massive fish to take home with the owners making sure your pond / tank is big enough for the fish. Which i thought is pretty bad ass . I had many questions about a few fish as im a fishy guy and always have questions for things i need to know nothing about lol and these guys answered all and were not frustrated with me window shopping . I told them id be back to buy next visit . Only reason im doing a review is cause the shop was cool , fish were big not pricey & workers deserve some credit ! So lets go fishin!

If you've ever seen the Disney Channel show Fish Hooks, this is what I imagine the pet store to be…read morelike. What my metaphor hopes to convey is that this is the most enriching fish store I have ever experienced. Every species was kept in an appropriately sized and clean tank. Something I didn't see that I reliably see at big chains: dead fish! An additional simple metric of how I rate a pet store is based on how they keep betta fish, if at all. The one betta I could locate was kept alone, in a planted tank that I would say is at least 5 gallons. Shark Reef has plenty of supplies, food options, and medication. I went to get some Seachem Kanaplex and might have just found my new favorite fish store.

Amazing people! I LOVE going in to get high quality, fresh feed for my snake…read more Only thing that I will say is that the A/C is either broken or it's run very, very low. It makes me worry for the animals, but I can tell that they do their best they can to take care of the animals while living in one of the hottest cities in the U.S. Overall, AMAZING people! Very kind, considerate, and AWESOME to have a conversation with! Very kind, and will take their time to answer your questions when it comes to animal care! I always buy my snake's feed there, I also always buy my rabbit treats from there every now in then- but if they carried my rabbit's food, then I would definitely buy it from here instead of Petco!

I have dreamed of own an Ecosphere for about 5 plus years. FINALLY, my betrothed purchased me one…read morelast February (yes, it shipped from AZ to MI in the dead of winter with no fatalities). I was beyond overjoyed. I wanted one soooo bad, that I would watch youtube videos that owners made. It is not very riveting to watch online, but it is VERY facinating live and in person. Professor, what is an Ecosphere? Well, let me break it down. It is a beautifully blown glass sphere, pod or water drop shaped vessel that contains shrimp (the number of shrimp varies per size s-xl), shells, a magnet for cleaning, algae ,sea water, a branch, bacteria and micro organisms. It is self-sustaining ecosystem, you never have to feed the shrimpies. Simply provide your EcoSphere with a source of indirect natural or artificial light and enjoy this aesthetic blend of art and science, beauty and balance. Super cool, I know. It's like an aquarium but not having to clean fish poop out of smelly gravel. I recently moved to Tucson and my shrimp pals are still swimmingly perfect. Some owners have 10-15 year old shrimp still well and kicking. Some claim to have reproduced, however it is extremely rare....I'm still pulling that I will be one out of a million that has shrimp babies. If your shrimp die within a year, they will replace them. They also do custom orders. After years of staring at these babies online, I jumped for joy when I learned they are made in Tucson!!!!! I emailed the company and they said I could pick one up there....as I am in the market for a show stopping xl! They do not have a traditional storefront, but they have no qualms about me stopping by. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are in Tucson, they also sell them at the biosphere 2 gift shop.

When I first got my ecosphere I called the customer service line since I was worried about the little guys not having any light during the weekend. I was reassured that they would be fine for up to 4 days. The light and sun "charges" the sphere with enough energy which in turn produces oxygen and food for about 4-5 days with no issues. Yeah I know I can be a little obsessive but the person on the line was very friendly, helpful and didnt make me feel like I was crazy! Quick and responsive with a friendly and happy attitude. Love it.

I have to agree with Viviana G. The animals here are poorly…read morekept. Puppies in a small crate (last i saw they were all tight together in one small cage!) with pee and poop on them. Puppies have no warm bedding on the cement cold floor when I last saw them. No water to drink near by. Kitties are the same way, very dirty cages. Owners young daughter shouldn't handle the puppies infront of costumers. The puppy was teething and it nibbled on her ear and she hit the puppies face hard. Puppy cried. Huge turn off for me when there is animal cruelty. The owner (Ulises R.) doesn't know well of the fish he sells (makes me laugh because I am a fish owner). Filters are not running well. Guppies are too much over breed that they have deformities. Owners fish are always dying. The owner is also selling beauty products, what animal store sells human perfume? It looks unprofessional. It is a huge sign that this place is only in for the money and not the joy of selling fish and live animals. So this place no longer has my business. And I do not recommend either.
