Great selection of aquariums, fish, plants, and cabinets…read more The manager there, wasnt exactly friendly. But there was one kid I remember, he was very sweet and loves aquariums that's why they get the 4 star instead of 3. He recognized me almost immediately after our first interaction and said hey, you're from Hawaii right? Awesome guy, lots of knowledge and most importantly, genuinely kind. You don't find genuine and kind now a days. I spend a good amount of money on Aquarium supplies from time to time, and while I don't normally go to the bigger stores because I rather support smaller business, these guys always have majority of what I need and it's hard not to shop there. I bought a 20 gallon visi Fluval tank and inquired on testing the tank for leaks because I wouldn't set up for a while. The manager just told me I had 14 days without hesitation, while I asked if we could just test it she made it sound like it would have been a hassle. So no problem, I pick up the tank and pray for the best since I know how to silicone my own tanks if anything goes wrong. While the tank did not leak, I didn't set up until almost 2 months later. Had it leaked, could have lead to a serious customer complaint especially after being told they are not liable once the tank leaves the store, they make you sign a paper saying you agree to that has well, I just wish she wasn't so brash about not wanting to fill the tank for testing and the 14 day warning.

This is such a sweet and friendly fish store! Very knowledgeable about their products and great…read morecustomer service. I love that they take (most) surrendered fish and give them a good home. The fish here look very healthy and happy and I always see multiple people cleaning and organizing the store. It's very kid friendly and, again, the staff are super sweet to kids taking a look at their tanks. Not sure about prices compared to other stores - but they definitely see fair and not overly costly. Betas go from 10-40 dollars from what we saw depending on the type and rarity.

She gives really great care advice that makes sense and makes me feel confident that I am not going to kill these beautiful animals. I can tell you now that I have some of the happiest Apistogramma Cacatuoides and Kribensis (Nigeria Red) living in full community tanks. I can also tell you that I paid 1/3 the price for each of those fish that I would have paid if I went anywhere else. One more plus is supporting a locally owned and owner operated business. I Highly recommend as probably the fish/aquarium store in the area for a "fish nerd" like me who wants something a little different and does not want to have to worry about its health or leaving the store without knowing what to expect from that fish and how to care for it.

So I just kept going on my Mobility Scooter until I got there. Just to find out if it is not ADA friendly at all. They have a big curb that goes up to the door and no other way to get around. So although I'd like to give them a five star and continue where we left off, but I have no accessibility to their store and therefore are unable to review.

We took our old dog there once or twice a week for 3+ years. It was a huge help with his arthritis…read more They would get in the pool with him and do stretches/massage to keep him limber. We used to just take him to the river, but he got cut really badly there, so the indoor pool was much safer and the heated water helped with keep him from getting stiff. As for the rules- anyone with common sense understands the reason for them. You wait with your dog outside until the appointment before you leaves because not all dogs get along. Some dogs are scared of others and will get aggressive. And most dog owners respect that fact and the rules. BTW to avoid confusion, I'm not the business owner, just a long time customer with the same first name:)
