Not really sure if thats normally how it is. I bought 2 cherry shrimps and it ran me $6. Thats about the same price as 1 from empire fish on Northern Blvd. I asked the lady for 2 female shrimps and she picked them out for me. Unlike Empire, when I asked for a female shrimp the guy there said there's no way to tell. BS

Now if you are still on the fence about coming here due to some people questioning the durability of MA's fish with them getting sick" within a day or two after bringing home" or that "Selling sick fish is unacceptable". Let me ease your mind. Yes, fish do get sick sometimes. That is always unfortunate. It is also sometimes out of a LFS's control at times. Pathogens, parasites and protozoa are always present in aquaculture. Symptoms may remain dormant or negligible and cannot be detected from a glance. Hence it is why we in the hobby quarantine new fish, not just for diseases we can see but also those we cannot. However sickness can sometimes not be preventable. Something you CAN prevent is a massacre of your whole tank by simply QUARANTINING YOUR FISH. If you allow time to do its thing you will most definitely know whether or not any action needs to be taken. Simply dumping new fish into established tanks just means " I dont care about my fish", " If they die its not my fault since I didnt know they were sick". Now alot of people in this hobby are beginners and thats great! Just learn to ask for help. If help is coming from a person who "pretended he didn't understand what I was saying", GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. There's this pretty neat place call the internet. Oh? you're on it now? WOW! SEE look at that! Not so Hard right? BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! :) All in all, sorry for the rant. It is just frustrating to see such a good and hard working establishment come under fire from people who dont do their research and go "oh no, the consequences of my actions" when they screw up. K Bye ;)

The person, Richard who came to clean my tank was huffing and puffing when he came to clean my tank, come on this is your job. Then they didn't even know what type of fishes I have had. Once he was done, the water was still brown. My husband and I have been doing it for the past 2 years and they have been fine, once these people came out and serviced my tank they died in 2 days.

Which I felt like that at south shore tropicals when I spoke on the phone with them. Another thing I think is good is that this place is strictly dedicated towards saltwater tanks whereas others are more divided in their interests and this guy is very knowledgeable. So that's that. P.s. my friend told me not to buy fish there because he saw that some of them had ick. This friend I'm speaking of is more advanced in the hobby of reef tank keeping than I am so I took his advice.

What a cool store! An interesting place to check out exotic animals and birds…read more This is certainly not a pet shop chain store, where the employees probably know little to nothing about pets. The owner, Marc Marrone opened this pet store for almost 40 years. And surprisingly he was also host of a pet tv show produced by Martha Stewart's media company. He's also the author of several books on different types of animals, so he's quite knowledgable. This place is quite exotic. I was fascinated by all the beautiful animals and birds that I've only ever seen in photos. There were ferrets, chinchilla, and many types of parrots (some huge) and parakeets, a toucan!, love birds, and finches of many colors. They even had tiny baby parakeets. So utterly precious! Not even yet standing, just rolling around a bit, like a lot of babies of all types do. In another review, Marc, the owner was clipping a bird's nails. He was what may have looked like rough handling of the pet, but I don't think it was. With any animal/bird, you have to keep it under control (which is not harmful), to keep the animal/bird from hurting itself while you trim its nails/ claws /feathers. In the back, they also have a large area full of fish tanks with some nice looking fish. But the best part of this store is the birds and exotic animals. There is also lots of different accessories/ supplies for different types of animals/ birds. Final note: I've never seen such beautiful exotic birds, up close before. It was a wonderful visit. Definitely worth a trip out here. I may go back and take one or two of those beautiful birds home with me.

Really cool pet store. Lots of other animals besides birds to purchase. Staff is knowledgeable.read more
