Oceans and Seas - Roseville

[four_by_ken]

Store is 50-50 saltwater to freshwater.  Just a small handful of Africans. 

Nice place to stop in at when in the area.

I've always found rediculous pricing on big New World's.

Sorry to say, this was a good place to buy fish, unfortunately they have gotten greedy and are only worried about making a buck now.  Small fish high prices.   Every time I go in there I see ICK in there tanks...BBW

Recently, saw Rainbows for $8.99.  The same size were 5.99 at Kees.

Someone I know very well just had a bad experience here.  Such a shame to hear.

Two separate customers... 4 workers... all kinds of attitude when one of the customers asked for help.  Oh, and it was the manager that gave the attitude.

They blew an $80 sale and a long time customer... plus, I will not be rushing to go back there... thats for sure.


What a shame.

I was in there about two weeks ago......the person who was there (not the manager) was very helpful.  I ended up leaving with a bucket of bulk flake. 

I have been able to negotiate price there as long as you are willing to spend cash. 

The manager, who I would describe as a younger male with black hair, somewhat smaller in stature, has been helpful in the past. 

I can't say I have had any bad experiences.  I hope they were isolated incidents.

I would say that they are decent, I enjoy there different type fish collections as in corey cats and some kinds of fish you dont see everywhere.

Everything else is normal to above average on price, but if you ask questions they seem to be fair and try to help you out, until one of there Regular's come in and they disappear like the wind. Has happened a few times, but I wont rule them out.

Just got back from there.  Not a great store at the moment.  Limited plant selection. Dirty water and tanks.  Lots of ich and clamped fins.  I would not buy fish from there right now.

[fishaholic]

never had an issue here.I am actually surprised by some of the things I have read..
prices are fair plant selection is good and hey,matt works there now!
sure do miss pet vendor.just sayin!

The only time I've ever seen an issue with the health of their fish was when their uv sterilizer went on the fritz.

If I recall correctly, each rack is on a central filtration system.  So if the uv is not working, it can be an issue.  In my experience, this is an aberration, not the norm.

[Regalblue]

I was there yesterday.....  Cichlid selection was very slim species wise IMO & there was ick present in the majority of their tanks.
There prices weren't too bad on the species I thought about picking up tho. I ended up grabbing $25 worth of holy rock.

FYI - I had mostly good experiences there, they have a lot of large South Americans there.  If you join their fish club you gey like 10% off, and they have some buy one get one free deals.
I think they also own Lou's Pet Shop in grosse pointe.

[four_by_ken]

The now own SeaWorld. 

But I thought Lou's was privately owned by the same people for 40 years or something.

[gshark7]

Joe was the owner, he took over from his dad many years ago.  Joe sold it to O & S., they just moved to a bigger building

[Marty]

Yes, Brian has owned all three (Sea World, Oceans & Seas, and Lou's) for awhile now. 

It's crazy how many collectibles Sea World has just in storage.  Brian took me on a tour of the outbuildings and they were stuffed.  He has a huge set of wind chimes that back there that are worth around $5000.00
