I dropped in today for the first time...
First impression was the place was
small. , but looks can be deceiving.
Low ceiling and wood paneling makes it feel like I'm in someone's basement, a labyrinth of tanks.
After looking through their tropical selections, and getting startled by a barking dog at a baby gate, I headed to the back where the cichlid tanks were. They had a variety, a lot of mixed African tanks, large single oscars, jaguars, dempseys all in the bottom rows. The tanks were clean, but some of the fish looked strangely 'tired'.
They have a decent selection, but the prices were far out.
Eg. male 7"+ venustus was $69.99! [ya that's what I thought too
]
One of the staff (who mentioned his dad opened the place ages ago) was very nice. I didn't venture to the other side of the store where the bird and other pet cages were. Parking can be challenging, there is a large parking lot across the street I didn't go in as I think it belongs to another building/business.
I didn't walk out with anything this time, but I'm glad I finally popped in.
I like to support 'mom & pop' shops like this and I'll definitely go back, I just hope their prices come back down to earth.
