    Great selection of corals and fish. Definitely recommend this place for reef aquariums owners.

    I've been coming to this pet store for a couple years now and it's honestly one of my favorite. The…read morestaff is all super friendly and knowledgeable. They have such a large variety of aquatic animals and reptiles! It really feels like a mini zoo when you come in here. There's a very small parking lot located out front but there's lots of street parking. Also lots of small businesses in the area to check out and support!

    This is the neighborhood "mom and pop" type pet store. It is quite unkempt on the interior, but…read morethey have a good selection of live animals, feed, and supplies. FYI I come here for aquarium needs. Pros: - accommodating staff. Requested a plant that didn't have a label and the employee asked her boss and they were able to sell it to be for a great price - great selection of reptiles (snakes, lizards, etc.) - one of the few places that consistently has springtails or isopods - I don't talk to people but every time I've shopped at the store there always seems to be a good conversation happening - prices seem standard, though I've compared and they often have slightly lower live aquatic animal/plant prices. Support local! Cons: -not the friendliest staff, I often don't get a "hello" at the register, let alone be told the total amount -There's been an unused, dirty fish tank wall as long as I can remember and it's just in the way and ugly (but i understand the struggles with hoarding) - they don't have a lot of aquarium plants and most plants do not have prices. -understaffed it seems, so be patient with them (waited about 30 mins to be helped cause there was only one person working the aquarium area) - bird cages look unhealthy The place needs to be cleaned up. The staff needs to have better work ethic. That being said. Scales N Tails has been my go to pet store since living in Burbank. I have conures, but I refuse to buy anything for my birds here. BUT I do also have paludariums and a pond and this shop has provided me with most of my live animals and plants. I have not had any issues with disease or mortality. Not the best, not the worst, but definitely one of my favorite places to shop!

    This place is phenomenal…read more All I can say is this has everything you need to have a high quality tank with a quality scape Also I met zan herself Who is like the nicest person ever. Anyways you're missing out if you're not going here

    A boutique aquatic shop with charm…read more Pros: - large selection of hardscapes (stones, gravel, rock fragments, wood) - there is a sandbox available to use to help visualize hardscape design - small selection of tanks and tank supplies - beautiful display tanks and demo hardscape arrangements - great selection of healthy looking plants -prices are pretty decent - very friendly owner Pro/con: - you WILL have a conversation with the owner. Cons: - not a lot of price transparency (prices are looked up on the phone for most products). I think only the stones were priced but no scale for weight - their tissue culture plants don't look healthy and most have sat their over the course of a month. - vibe depends on owner's mood (?) as she is primarily the only staff member Personal note: -Visited three times. First visit was an incredible experience. Owner was nice and helpful and bubbly. Second time, significantly less friendly. Third time, the vibe was way off. That third visit, I got scolded for opening a tissue culture plant container. The lid wasn't secured with a label or seal. I couldn't see the plant and since most of the others looked dead, so I wanted to check. My ignorant @$$ opened the container to peek. The owner got pretty upset and said I wasn't supposed to open it. In an annoyed tone, she said "now I have to figure out something to do with it". My fault, for sure, but her reaction made me uncomfortable. After learning the price, I also put back a couple other plants, but felt uneasy as she asked me "what are you doing?!" when i put them back and i said "it's out of my price point" Don't think place is for me, BUT I think it's a GREAT shop for their selection of hardscapes. The owner is amazing but the vibe varies. You most likely won't be leaving empty handed though!
