I love how well-stocked and diverse Ocean Gallery is. They have an excellent selection of…read morefreshwater fish, including African cichlids, South American cichlids, catfish, silver dollars, knife fish, guppies, and even koi. Their saltwater fish collection is just as impressive, featuring clownfish, tangs, pufferfish, and gobies. Beyond fish, they offer a variety of other animals, such as different types of snakes, bearded dragons, rabbits, and aquatic snails--an excellent clean-up crew for my fish tank. Their fish food selection, including frozen, pellet, and flake options, is reasonably priced. Additionally, the equipment for maintaining both fish and reptile tanks is affordable and high quality. Overall, Ocean Gallery is a fantastic store that I've been visiting for years, and I highly recommend it!

My fish have very specific requirements…read morefor ph/tds/kh/gh and temp, he does an excellent job monitoring the water levels and keeping the tanks clean. One of my tanks started to produce excess slime and had a much higher tds than normal due to a mistake on our part. Paul caught the problem immediately and let me know so we could take care of it. I have a 250 gallon show tank Paul and his business partner Bill will be setting up with an apex and continuous water change system. Pricing is very fair, I highly recommend.

I spent nearly $200 on tank products only. An employee advised me to buy from them the used sponges…read moreinstead brand new because they contained beneficial bacteria. Later, on night I saw what appeared to be a large number of parasites (see attached pictures). I obviously didn't want that in my home, so I discarded the sponges. When I returned to the store, he looked at me as if I was ignorant for throwing both sponges away, and the only explanation he gave me was, "Those are worms we feed to the fish here, and they hide in the sponges." They didn't even apologize for not mentioning the worms, nothing at all beyond what I described above. It was so upsetting. I ended up cleaning and throwing everything out that same night, driving myself crazy over it... horrible experience with them. Edited: It's crazy how other customers in their reviews (old post on Google ) are also talking about parasites and worms from this store. Thank God I didn't buy any fish. I only bought things to get the tank ready - plants (which went straight into the garbage), air system; air pump, tubing, sponges, a heater, and other accessories, but no fish. This place is disgusting. I wish I could post the video.

NEVER SPECIAL ORDER FROM HERE! So about a month ago I went in looking for a gerbil. Now, I know…read morethis place is mainly for aquatic pets, so I knew it was a long shot. I was pleasantly surprised when they said that ordering me one from their supplier would be no problem, and that I should check back on Friday, the next Tuesday at the latest. So began a month long saga of me calling them, being told it would be on such and such a day (usually one within a week) and to call back then, only to be told the same bloody thing when I did. In all honesty I lost count how many times I did this. It was at least four. When I finally started to complain about being lead on the people I spoke to claimed zero responsibility for the issue. They claimed it was a miscommunication both between staff and their supplier (and this miscommunication was somehow not the store's problem). They also seemed not to understand why I was pissed that what I ordered was not in when they said, and that there was no indication it ever would be. In fact they ranted to me as much as I ranted to them (which in all honesty I bet a lot of other retail people wish they could do). I also know for a fact that this is not the first time something like this has happened with them. My mom ordered rabbit bedding from them and was continually lead on in exactly the same fashion. So yeah, if you're looking for rodent materials, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. And if you are looking for something aquatic they don't have in stock, DON'T SPECIAL ORDER. At the very least don't put any money down, because odds are they are never going to deliver.
