WOW, I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one out there that has gotten ripped off by these people! In addition to buying homely fishes that died, I had purchased two 70 gallon fish tanks from him and 4 months later one of them cracked and flooded my whole apartment! It was a nightmare. Not only did the owner care less when I called crying about the disaster, but he told me it was my fault because I bought a cheap tank with no warranty and that my floor was "uneven". Huh? Does he know what my floors look like? And if I had known before hand how ridiculously cheap it would be and how much money I would lose, I never would have bought it! To top it off the 2nd one cracked and shattered a month and a half later!! Twice I had to frantically rescue over 30 fishes and exotic plants AND I lost important books&documents and also damaged instruments, carpet, and couch in which I had to throw away because it was too soiled with fish water. It was obvious that he would care less about it as he stated that they were cheap and not under warranty but he would not even consider taking back any of my perfectly good equipment (filters, lights, hoods, etc.) that IS under warranty. What am I going to do with all this expensive equipment with no fish tanks? It has been a complete nightmare! I lost thousands of dollars from buying these cheap tanks and he continues to rip people off everyday! Anyone have any suggestion how we can get these guys back for fish cruelty, unsafe environment, and unfair business practice??
Cons: Bad service, cheap tanks that are guaranteed to flood your place, dead fishes, and an owner who gets off on ripping people off

I am only a semi-experienced aquarist, but I actively discuss aquarium matters on online forums with other aquarists and study how to best provide a good environment for my fish. When I visited this store, I could not help but notice just how many exotic fish they had, but most of them pretty much crammed into tiny tiny compartments. Most of us aquarists are aware that in order to maintain a healthy fish, you need to keep within the boundaries of the stocking ratio... and there is no way that those poor fish are healthy stuck in compartments so small they can barely swim around. many fish looked very stressed and depressed... they had sea horses that hardly moved, I thought they were dead. They seem to offer their fish for a pretty affordable price, but with so many rare fish, and it's low price, it makes me wonder how they stock these fish... are they humane or did someone just capture them from the sea and sell it to them??? I cannot help being suspicious about this store.
Pros: Many varieties of fish, many rare.
Cons: Fish crammed in tiny compartments, don't look healthy, wonder where they came from
