As typical, I cannot seem to keep any saltwater fish that I buy from here alive longer than 2 days. Yesterday I payed an overpriced amount of $100 on a Midas Blenny for my tank which is matured with 5 other fish and lots of coral. As per usual with any fish I by from Gerbers, the Midas Blenny never acted right and has since died in my tank. I have NEVER had this issue with any other fish from any other LFS. Gerbers is the only store I seem to have problems with when it comes to their fish, and after seeing some of the conditions the other fish are in in several of their tanks, it seems their fish are kept in unhealthy conditions. I would not recommend purchasing fish from Gerbers.

They tell you straight up as well as they have signs showing that they are understaffed and the majority of their employees are new, meaning they have no experience with aquariums or with fish in general. My family and I have had an established tank for 20 years and we go to this place and buy three fish and the young lady tells us to put bacteria in our water to combat algae and it killed every one of the fish in my tank, including the ones we've had for years. Not to mention, we'd bought fish from there the same time and they died that same day. We noticed many tanks had dead fish and didn't look maintained, but we had bought from them years ago and didn't have the same experience then. You'll literally walk through the live tank aisles and see not only dead fish in their tanks, but multiple fish on the floor in open totes deemed ill or infected. To make things worse, they dodged me for days and once I finally got a hold of the owner, he was extremely rude, sounds slightly uneducated (ya know...Murica!), but more importantly he laughed at the fact I told him how hurt we were that ALL OF OUR FISH DIED and that we've invested thousands of dollars over the years keeping our fish and maintaining them and our tank! He said I sounded like a problem customer and that he did not want me back in his store. This place may have been around for a while but it's because they rely on the assumption that aquarium owners come to them for fish & advice so when things go wrong they can simply put it back on you instead of being accountable for the fact that they have employees there that have no business trying to give advice on aquarium maintenance! On a side note, the owner told me to let every other customer know that he doesn't give a crap if we have problems and good luck ever trying to find out what his name is if we want to pursue concerns further. What a disgrace to be a business owner and act this way and more importantly to be in the business of mistreating other living creatures....DISGUSTING!

I will NEVER return to this store. I stopped by Aquatics Galore this past Sunday 1/30/2022 with…read moreboth my sons and as I entered their reptile room, I was quickly horrified at the conditions their animals were being kept in. The first thing I noticed is the overwhelming odor of rodent urine. The reptiles are kept in the same room as the breeding feeder rodents, and it's quite apparent the enclosures for the rodents are filthy and saturated with feces and urine. All their rodents are kept in glass tanks which does not allow for proper ventilation for any mammal and there are between 6-12+ animals in each tank. There is visible feces in each tank and they're just filthy. They have a large variety of reptiles kept in awful conditions. Multiple animals per enclosure on dirty paper towels with rotting food and dirty water dishes, not one animal in the entire room had a proper UVB fixture if they even had one at all (T5HO fixtures are the standard for any and all animals that require UVB as coil bulbs and T8 fixtures have been tested and proven inadequate), they had cards with (improper) husbandry requirements written on them that were clearly not being adhered to. Dirty, bare, inappropriate housing far too small for the majority of the animals they're "caring for". Multiple of the animals are dehydrated, emaciated, and lethargic likely due to improper diet, lack of clean water, lack of biologically appropriate heat and lighting, and filthy living conditions. What really sealed it for me was this Spiny Chameleon that is quite literally dying. So horribly emaciated and dehydrated that it can't even grip using all of its toes. I can't even confidently say this animal would survive transport to a home setting. Chameleons require specialized and specific care and husbandry, and are incredibly fragile animals. One misstep in husbandry can quickly result in a dead chameleon. Chameleons physically will not drink from a water dish, they hydrate both my drinking water droplets from leaves and also by absorbing humidity from the air during necessary nighttime spikes in humidity. All of the chameleons at Aquatics Galore were housed with fake plants (impaction risk and encourage bacteria growth), water droppers with tubes leading down to water bowls at the bottom of the enclosures (useless as Chams will not drink from bowls) and little to no foliage cover for security. Stress will absolutely kill a chameleon and being constantly exposed will lead to major stress. There is also a large glass dome front enclosure housing multiple species of tree frogs (varying species of tree frogs shouldn't be housed together as they can and will eat each other). This tank had red eyed tree frogs and whites tree frogs together in a wet, bacteria filled, filthy environment. Whites Tree Frogs are not a rainforest dwelling species and their adult daytime humidity requirements are no more than 40%, yet this whites tree frog was sitting at the bottom of this tank with about an inch of standing water and rotten moss(impaction risk), mold, and maggots crawling everywhere. Not to mention their prices for these sick and dying animals are far more than is reasonable for healthy individuals, let alone ones being kept in such despicable conditions. I reached out to the guy that appeared to be taking care of this room and explained all the major problems I saw. He seemed receptive which is good. I told him I would take the dying chameleon and try to save it, but I ethically could not pay money for it. He went to speak to someone, I'm assuming either owners or management, and they refused to let me take the animal or even offer a discount on it. I left without the chameleon, heartbroken at the conditions all these poor animals were being kept in. These people would really rather let this animal suffer and ultimately die for a chance to make a few dollars off of it then give it a sliver of a chance at recovery and life. I took photos and included them. These animals are being kept in conditions that I can only describe as criminal neglect. Absolute disgusting. How folks can own and run an exotic animal store and fail to treat these animals with even the most basic of respect is beyond me, but whoever owns and runs this place should be deeply ashamed and truly look within and ask themselves why they're in the exotics business. I will never return to this store. I urge all of you to take your business elsewhere when it comes to feeders and exotic animals. It's really embarrassing when the Petsmart up the road has (slightly) better husbandry and care for their animals, as any exotic animal enthusiast knows corporate pet stores truly don't have any idea how to care for the animals they sell. I don't even know what else to say about this, but I'm disgusted and appalled. Shit like this is exactly why people advocate against the keeping of exotic animals. Southern Ohio really doesn't have one good quality exotic store and it's sad for the hobby
