John…read moreand all of the crew greet me with warmth and casual professionalism everytime I walk through their doors. Now if you are still on the fence about coming here due to some people questioning the durability of MA's fish with them getting sick" within a day or two after bringing home" or that "Selling sick fish is unacceptable". Let me ease your mind. Yes, fish do get sick sometimes. That is always unfortunate. It is also sometimes out of a LFS's control at times. Pathogens, parasites and protozoa are always present in aquaculture. Symptoms may remain dormant or negligible and cannot be detected from a glance. Hence it is why we in the hobby quarantine new fish, not just for diseases we can see but also those we cannot. However sickness can sometimes not be preventable. Something you CAN prevent is a massacre of your whole tank by simply QUARANTINING YOUR FISH. If you allow time to do its thing you will most definitely know whether or not any action needs to be taken. Simply dumping new fish into established tanks just means " I dont care about my fish", " If they die its not my fault since I didnt know they were sick". Now alot of people in this hobby are beginners and thats great! Just learn to ask for help. If help is coming from a person who "pretended he didn't understand what I was saying", GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. There's this pretty neat place call the internet. Oh? you're on it now? WOW! SEE look at that! Not so Hard right? BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! :) All in all, sorry for the rant. It is just frustrating to see such a good and hard working establishment come under fire from people who dont do their research and go "oh no, the consequences of my actions" when they screw up. K Bye ;)

Very disappointed. I've been buying fish from this store for years, but the prices have become…read moreridiculously high, and the livestock quality has clearly gone downhill. Last week I bought several fish here, and they turned out to have ich. Within just a few days, every one of them died, and worse, the disease spread to other fish in my tank. This ended up costing me far more than just the fish I bought from the store. Selling sick fish is unacceptable, especially from a store that specializes in aquarium livestock. Longtime customers should not have to worry about bringing disease home from a fish store. After this experience, I seriously question their fish health standards and whether they are properly monitoring the condition of the fish they sell.

Despite its prime location along Queens Blvd, it's a little too easy to miss Wespaw Pets. It's by…read moreno means a large pet store, but I'm fairly confident it's the best one in all of Sunnyside. I've always been super impressed with their helpful customer service, super niche inventory, and how organized everything is in the store. It's certainly not like the chain'y mega stores but it is quaint and clean. They have a good number of things: pet food, pet toys and everything in between it all. Most of the stuff is geared toward cats and dogs, but they surely have the supplies for folks bringing up a ::insert animal:: into their home. Another bonus? It actually smells good in here. (#1) As is the deal with most stores with premium goods, their stuff can get expensive. While most everything can probably found online for cheaper, it's the best option for being able to get something in person without the wait for shipping. For those not able to make to the store, they also deliver for a fee. Lastly, keep an eye out for their monthly sales -- that's the best time to come. ____________ (#1) You know that odor when entering some pet stores? Not here.

3.5 stars To me,…read morethis Petco location is pretty good! I can bring my little guy (toy poodle pup) and he can sniff and prance and look around. They have a nice selection of toys, treats as well as food, some clothing options / clothes line (a little pricey!) and grooming and vet services. So, it's a one-stop shop for sure. I had my dog microchipped here and I've brought him to get his first grooming experience. I had Penelope and she did an OK job. It wasn't the most amazing ever (I wanted him a bit more fluffy, but she did say - and I know this - he hates the blow dryer). But she checked in with me on the size of the cut and how short she should cut. I'll probably bring him again to her. The only downside is that if you try to call the store, you probably won't get an answer. The store seems to be a bit short-staffed and it does get fairly busy so the check out line can get a bit long (with usually just 2 cashiers on). Other than that, it's a good option and I'll continue to frequent it for my pooch's needs.

It's a work of art, and now the most beautiful piece of furniture in my home! My cichlids were previously in a 20 gal and obviously deserved an upgrade to a 55gal tank. Chris consulted with me to build a custom table that houses the new 55 gal on top, with the 20 gal tank and a storage cabinet on the bottom. He even went so far as to take note of the other furniture in my room, and incorporate similar elements to match it perfectly, all the way down to the stain. My fish are SO happy in their new home that they immediately bred and I now have 8 fry living their best life too!
