They definitely know their fish - from breeds to care to what and how much to get to decorate your tank. Expert advice on what type of fish may suit your needs and will actually go out of their way to explain why. They actually care that you will take good care of these little guys. For a reasonable fee, you can have them come to your home to set your entire tank up. This was the TOPPER that made me give them their well deserved 5 stars. The owner actually babysat my little fish. Yes he did. Three years ago we bought our first house in Levittown and I didn't know what to do with my 20 gallon tank and five little fish who at that point had lived past a year. He said he would actually keep our fish in a separate tank until we set up the tank in our house. When we went back to pick them up a few days later, there they were, swimming around happily. And - NO CHARGE for the babysitting. Well, unfortunately, our tank is now empty but one day we will set it up again and I will be back to Total Aquariums. Oh, if you do go there, check out the live Alligators in the front of the store. Great for the kids!!

The good about this place is the awesome variety of coral to select from. The bad: they're more…read morepricey with the fish I've seen there compared to other nearby stores. Still I asked if he would match the price and he said yeah so that's good. Also they sell RO/DI water which is good for me. The owner, John, is also very willing to give me advice about everything when I asked like I could just go there and hang out instead of rush or make me feel like I'm being annoying. 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. But he did say it was okay to buy hardy fish there like clown fish.

They have fish in bins and they're easy to see. The bins start at $100; then there's $200; $300 all the way through $800 and then they "price upon request" here's the deal it's like a lot. At about $400 you can sell the fishes Sex and the fish in the 400 500 and $600 bins are just absolutely freaking gorgeous the most amazing beautiful Japanese pure bread Koi that you've ever seen. I know this stuff. You will walk out of that with an absolute gem for your POND and it's a fun experience. I sent my sister with her kids.. it strange, because they have a huge aquatic waterfall feature in the corner and it's still something that I would pass by because the bushes are shrubs don't exactly spell out "KOI". This place is a very serious good quality place with the quality water and amazing staff. You don't have to spend a lot of money there's a lot of fish in the $100 bins that are just fine, in fact gorgeous. If you wanted to spend money. There is a way to do it here. The fish in the "price upon request" Ben were second and none. This place is number one in Long Island and I'm not spellcheck this I hope it says what it supposed to.

I was greatly disappointed bringing my dog here for grooming. The groomer called and told me there…read morewas a small mishap, but it really was nothing. The problem was the grooming manager expected the employee to come discussed the mishap with me. The manager should have came out to discuss the mishap with me with the employee to speak. Maybe teaching the employee hot to converse with the customer. Instead she sent a young inexperienced employee to talk to me. I am pretty sure this would be within the scope of the managers duties. Like I said, it was really not a problem but the task of speaking to the client should have not been a problem either. The manager should have taken the opportunity to teach the employee a mature way to interact with a customer and handle what could have been a heated situation. When I did ask to speak to the manager, I loudly heard her say, "lovely, here we go" and I waited about 15 mins. It was disappointing. Like I said, it really wasnt a problem, but to send a young newer employee to discuss it was a problem; super unprofessional. I wish I remembered the managers name. She was clearly not management material. She treated her employees and customers the same, and it was not positive. I work in senior management and would love to know if my employees where doing an exceptional job or the opposite. I hearts to have to leave a negative review. It was heart breaking to see the management at the new Petco in Plainview. Management has a responsibility to teach and support employees to help them move on to bigger and better; not putting them in hard situations and lower their confidence and self esteem. I liked Petco and I liked a few groomers that worked there. Unfortunately, that Petco has done a disservice to the corporation hiring unsuccessful managers or promoting the wrong because of social relationships made. Petco should be paying more attention to what is happening in its stores. Yhe employees are usually more helpful then any manager. It is also very easy to see which employees the management favors which is grounds for dismissal at my firms. Rewarding hard working employees is different that showing favoritism. I wish I was able to add names, people should be held accountable. I doubt this review will do anything because the employees im question are not mentioned. They should be held accountable. I did not want to go back there but maybe going to get some names wouldn't be a bad idea. There is absolutely nothing wrong with management and employees taking courses on everything from treating customers, coworkers, employees. As well being organized by cleaning between clients in a timely manner. Even the way you present yourself to customers. A smile goes a long way. I am sorry this was long but from someone who is a senior management, starting from well the bottom (which i dislike saying) many little easy tricks are picked up along the way.
