He brought his own water, which was a plus because a water supply was not easily accessible to where our tank was. John was super nice and understanding of our situation. Our turtle tank was horrific, but John looked at it and said, "This is nothing! I got this." The before and after speaks for itself. John made sure he took care of tank and canister filter well, ensuring the necessary things were replaced. We had a bunch of requests such as how to install our large turtle basking platform and John said, "No problem, you got it. " with a smile. We are so happy with the results and are looking at regularly getting services. Plus adding more services with John such as decorations and adding fish. John you are the man!

I am highly disappointed with our experience here and will not be returning…read more My 9-year-old daughter was originally so excited to visit this shop with her dad to buy her very first guppies. Unfortunately, they died within 24 hours, leaving her heartbroken. Since we live in the High Desert, we aren't local, but we decided to stop by again when we were back in the area. We spoke directly with Miguel and explained what happened. He assured my husband and me that if we took pictures of any future losses and kept our receipt, we could call him within 3 days and he "would work something out" with us. Based on that assurance, we bought 20 more fish. Sadly, the majority of them have already died. I followed instructions perfectly: I took photos of the dead fish and kept my receipt. However, when I called the shop, Miguel completely changed his terms, stating I now needed to bring the physical dead fish into the store and provide a water sample. I tested my water quality myself, and it is perfectly within range. In fact, I already have an existing tank of guppies that are actively thriving and reproducing--we only bought these new fish to add some color. Furthermore, the fish we purchased from Rainbow brought Ich into our established tank. Despite immediately treating the tank, the infection still killed the new fish and compromised my healthy ones. It is incredibly frustrating to be given a verbal guarantee only to have the store move the goalposts when a problem arises. Terrible customer service and unhealthy livestock. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Aquarium City is one of those places that reminds you why local fish stores matter…read more Every employee I've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about fishkeeping. I've asked plenty of questions over time and have always received thoughtful, accurate advice. In fact, some of the best advice I've gotten there has been when they talked me OUT of buying something that wasn't right for my tank. Their fish are healthy, their tanks are clean, and the overall level of care is obvious the moment you walk through the door. As someone who pays close attention to fish health and aquarium maintenance, that's something I notice immediately. I drive past other stores to shop here because I trust the staff, trust the quality of their livestock, and know they care about the animals they're selling. That's earned my business for the long term.

They survived 3 years of being out doors with predators, bad weather, foliage falling in the pond. The fishman came to my house prior to this last visit. The pond cleaning was adequate but this last time you can see that the pond was not cleaned. The next day all my fish were struggling. I called him to return as an emergency. He returned and that evening one by one all my fish died. My last fish died struggled for hours. First it looked like he was cleaning the pond very aggressively. A visitor told me that he did not look like he was allowing the fish time to adjust to the water and they could potentially die of shock. He did not scrub the algae. All the fish died. He promised to replace the fish and he did not. He promised $50 for reimbursement for the fish which was not actual value of the fish.

Warning: Do Not Take Your Dog Here…read more If you care about your pet's wellbeing, avoid this grooming salon. I brought my dog in for a grooming appointment on June 24th. Within a week, she developed a severe hot spot that quickly escalated. We ended up at the vet, where they confirmed the infection was due to negligence during her grooming. The vet examined my dog thoroughly and found the infection was so serve that they could literally pull back the skin. The situation was so painful and serious that they had to put her under anesthesia just to shave and treat the area without causing her even more distress. The wounds were so severe that they refused to treat her while she was awake. This infection affected about 40% of her body, including her ear. Part of her ear had to be removed because the infection had eaten away so much tissue. So far, I've spent around $1,300 in vet bills, not including the $75 I pay each time to have her bandages replaced and wounds cleaned properly. She's already had her bandages changed twice, adding another $150 to the total cost. I strongly urge you not to bring your dog here. I intend to report this business to the Better Business Bureau. What happened is unacceptable, and I feel it's my responsibility to warn other pet owners. As of July 29th, my dog is still undergoing treatment for this infection, which was caused by the groomers cutting her without informing me and using unclean tools. I will be uploading photos and receipts soon to further document my experience.
