Clean store, healthy fish, and a great selection to choose from. What really stood out was how…read moreknowledgeable and honest the owner was. We came in looking for a betta fish for our daughter and asked what tank mates could live with it. He gave us a few options, but once he found out our setup was only a 3-gallon tank, he immediately changed his recommendation and suggested either one of two smaller options or simply letting the betta be the king of its castle. I also asked about getting a nerite snail, and instead of selling me one on the spot, he told me to come back in a few weeks because a new tank wouldn't have enough algae or biofilm for it to eat yet. That kind of honesty is rare. It's clear he genuinely cares about the fish and wants his customers to be successful, not just make a sale. Definitely recommend supporting this shop!

This is a review for the store owner's way of conducting business, nothing to do with the very nice…read morehelpful workers/teenagers. They were great and very patient as I walked around the store asking questions. 2 stars instead of 1 because at least after 30 days the fish are still alive, were not sick, etc. NEW FISH OWNERS BEWARE: Do NOT go here if you want any type of advice at all regarding fish. I came in for a single male betta, some aquatic plants, seachem stability and micropellets, and media / filter to get a 5G tank cycling started before actually buying the betta. He instead sold us 3 betta females encouraging us to start a sorority tank inside a 5G, that it didn't need cycling, and that I was going a bit far to buy so many things for "just one fish." Listen, I get you have to upsell and it was easy to tell I was new to the hobby. But I take things seriously, and once I got home and looked everything up -- I discovered the horrendous reality that the 3 female bettas were most likely going to attack each other and die within 7-10 days. Within 24 hours I had to separate them into tiny glass vases because they started chasing each-other relentlessly, bullying the smallest one, and it was extremely stressful. Maybe it's my fault for being talked into it because I had only done research regarding a single betta. This guy pretty much set me up for failure from the get go. Fast forward one month, I now have a 20G tank (recommended 5G per a single fish), it finally finished its FIRST full ammonia/nitrite/nitrate cycle, and I have a community tank of 8 harlequin rasboras, the 3 female bettas that I still have to monitor, a nitrite snail, and plenty of plants. Funny how if he really did give good advice, I would've come back tenfold for the good price and general cleanliness. But nope! I'm new to the hobby but have already experienced at least three stores other than Bob's that treated me better, had a better understanding of guidance about fish, etc. Extremely appalled by the type of guidance I got here. All about money this guy.

If there is something you want, they can order it for you: I wanted an albino bristlenose plecostomus, and they ordered it special and is arrived within a couple of weeks. Fish are slightly more expensive than the big-box stores, but of much better quality and in much better health. I've been coming here for about 3 years and am a completely satisfied customer. I recommend this store in the highest possible terms for anyone who owns or is interested in owning an aquarium!

I was searching for a litter box, so I went to Target thinking I'll find one there. When I didn't find one there, I Yelped the closest pet store and this one came up. I called and the man was very friendly. I asked him if they carry litter boxes and if so for how much. He said they offer two one was $3.50 the other $15. I went with the cheaper option due to my budget. Man didn't charge me tax which was awesome. A flat $3.50 for a litter box was a great deal.

This place is where I discovered my love for aquariums! I'm not sure how I stumbled upon it or why…read moreI decided to go in, but it was during the COVID pandemic that I walked into Sunset Pets and was instantly captivated. I had never had any interest in the aquarium hobby, fish, or aquatic plants before. I had a 1-gallon cube with a sump, but without any knowledge of the nitrogen cycle (don't do this!), I impulsively purchased six bright endler live bearers, two of each color, and a very unfortunate female who had been accidentally shipped with the males. At the time, it was nearly impossible to find female endlers because endler breeders didn't want us to know how incredibly easy it is to breed these fish. A few months later, I had expanded my collection to nine aquariums, each dedicated to raising all the babies my fish had produced. They taught me the basics of cycling and how plants help eliminate ammonia, and I gradually began adding plants to my tanks. Once I had a few cycled tanks, I started keeping new species of fish. This shop also sells birds, reptiles, and rodents, but I can't provide my opinion on those because I've only purchased fish, aquatic plants, and fish supplies. They have an incredible variety of plants, tropical fish and cichlids, and even some saltwater fish. I absolutely love this place!
