They only acknowledged their regulars. By the time the lady FINALLY asked us what we needed, she couldn't even answer our questions because she kept stopping to talk to her regulars. Really made us feel unwelcome and like we were interrupting her social time. Additionally, we pointed out one tank where one of the fish was being incessantly bullied and another tank with a dead fish, and all she goes is "hmm yep looks like it" and then walks back to the front and continues talking to her regulars. Absolutely no help and her lack of concern for the fish conditions makes me wary about purchasing anything from there. Ended up going to another store that had incredible service and I now have a wonderful set up. Would NOT recommend this place and certainly wouldn't ever spend a dime here out of principle.

We currently have 13 planted freshwater tanks in our house ranging from nano to 75 gallons, so my husband and I are always looking for something. For those complaining about customer service... this depends on how busy they are. Some of y'all forget these are human beings just like you. If someone calls off, or their internet shuts down, or they just have an overall bad day, of course that's going to affect their service. Calm down, you're buying fish, not survival supplies. And you are buying from people like me who probably prefer animals to other humans....... for clear reasons. And if you buy plants and get snails... lol, welcome to planted tanks. Don't overfeed, and they'll control their own numbers. Get some assassin snails, they're fun to watch hunt. As for dirty tanks or sick fish, that happens-- but I see it minimally here vs other fish stores. Overall, most of the fish I've bought here have been healthy, and most issues I have had were usually my fault. Majority of my interactions with the employees have been pleasant, but I recognize most of them as fellow introverts. They are also very responsive on Facebook, and tbh they're the only reason I really use FB anymore since they use their store page for stock updates.

Sue spent more than half an hour just talking to us, letting us handle the snakes and answering the myriad of questions we threw at her. She put us at ease and we walked away confident that we can have a happy pet snake. They stock mice as well, so we picked up a few for feed. I'm definitely coming back for any reptile pet needs or questions.

Our recent experience purchasing two guppies from this wonderful family-owned pet store was nothing…read moreshort of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this shop is built on genuine care for animals, deep knowledge, and truly outstanding customer service. Patricia and her team's commitment to the wellbeing of the animals was the absolute highlight of our visit. Her knowledge of the animals and aquatic care is remarkable. It was immediately obvious that each and every animal's welfare is their top priority. She took the time to thoroughly explain the differences between the fish, turtles, dragons (and too many others to name!), their temperaments, tank compatibility, feeding needs, and long-term care -- without rushing us or trying to upsell anything unnecessary. Every answer was thoughtful, honest, and rooted in what was best for the animal. As first-time buyers from this store, we felt completely supported and reassured. Patricia asked great questions about our existing tank setup to ensure the guppies would thrive, not just survive. That level of personalized care is rare and deeply appreciated. You can tell she truly loves what she does and treats every animal as if it were her very own. The store itself reflects that same commitment to quality and compassion. The tank aquariums and habitats were clean, the fish were healthy and active, and the overall environment was calm and well-maintained. This is clearly a business that prioritizes ethical practices over volume sales, which is something you don't see often enough. For any other reviews that have mentioned seeing waste or poop, etc. in an animal's tank, I'd challenge them to please show me an animal's home that doesn't have any! I'd be very concerned that that's an unhealthy animal that needs an examination right away! Since bringing our two guppies home, they have been healthy, vibrant, and full of personality -- a testament to the excellent care they received before we ever walked through the door. We also bought two aquatic plants for our little ones to enjoy and they're thriving just as lovely as the animals! If you are looking for a pet store that combines expert knowledge, exceptional animal welfare standards, and truly personalized customer service, we cannot recommend this family-owned business highly enough. Patricia and her team set the gold standard for what pet care professionals should be. Thank you, Patricia, for such a positive, educational, and memorable experience. We are incredibly grateful and will absolutely be returning -- and recommending this store to everyone we know!
