    This store was filthy. The aquariums were dirty inside and out. Very unorganized and used dirty equipment and used tanks everywhere. Selection was not good. They also do trade ins on fish and equipment. Fish were for sale from yesterday's trade in on live fish. They do not quarantine or medicate to prevent the spread of disease. They have a couch that is torn. Looks like someone died on it. Ceiling tiles falling off so keep your head up and pay attention. Would not be suprised if the City condemned the building. I felt really bad for the fish.

    I love going to American Aquatics! They are so helpful!! I love that they are locally owned and see them need to invest in future generations. They are been so helpful with my classroom aquarium. If they do not know the answer they are alway willing to find out and help the best way possible. Just like any business there are good & bad days, slow & busy days, and helpful & not helpful employees. (We are all human, not robots) but it's like weather and climate, when critiquing a business you should think about the over all "climate" not just one day at one time. The "climate" for this store is helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable!

    I took my dog to the grooming salon in December with his vaccinations that were done only three…read moredays prior in Dec 2024. He was groomed and the gal did a great job. Since it went so well I made another appointment. When I got there they said they didn't have his vaccinations on file. I explained that he was here four months ago and I left the paperwork. They apologized and I had my daughter run to the house and send me a pic of them. They then said they don't take handwritten vet notes. They didn't say that in December. She looked again and said she didn't notice which vet it was and that she does take handwritten notes from my vet only. Once that was settled she looked at my paperwork again and said since there wasn't an expiration date on the vaccines she couldn't groom my dog. She said that she had no way of knowing whether the rabies shot was a one year or three year shot. I tried to explain to her that it should really matter since these were way under one year old. She refused to budge on the matter. She called a manager and the only one available was one from the warehouse who had no idea about grooming and vaccinations. He refused to allow her to let my dog get groomed. So, after about 30 minutes, I left with my shaggy dog. Such a sad experience when a little common sense could have helped. In my opinion she didn't want to groom another dog. Mine is a small Yorkie who just needed a haircut.

    Took my dog in for a grooming and was told they only have two people that are able to use scissors,…read moreI've recently moved here from Colorado and never heard such a thing. Why are you in business if your groomers can't perform the job your hiring them for!! Just sell high priced stuff then and get out of the business of grooming. What a joke this place is! I now appreciate the people we had in Colorado, everyone there had and can use all the tools of the trade. YOUR A JOKE, please close your grooming area and make it a petting section! Total let down!!!
