We made the mistake of not quarantining the new fish before we put them in our tank. A few days later all of our existing fish started disappearing and those who didn't die are now covered in either ick or velvet and will die soon. DO NOT SHOP HERE. We will have to restart our whole tank and we are heartbroken.

I first visited about 1.5 weeks ago and purchased a fish that died within 24hrs. I took it back to the store and was offered a slight discount toward a replacement fish. The new fish has also now died (~1week later). I have a well-established tank (10+years) with three other adult fish who haven't had any issues, and we closely monitor our water conditions especially after that first fish. I can only conclude that this place is selling sick/poor quality fish. Not worth the risk when the store refuses to take accountability for the quality of their product.

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.

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!

Juan is absolutely the best employee, he always takes time to explain what's best for the fish/shrimp I'm researching. Thanks to him I have two small tanks that are thriving. The best part is he is a knowledgeable employee and fish keepers will appreciate he will gently remind or tell you if your tank might not be the appropriate size for what you have in mind. Some employees especially at the big box stores might give you the wrong information (not always on purpose) but Juan double checks info online to make sure. Legit. I've seen him interact with lots of customers and he's always polite and professional. He is really sweet to elderly clients, it's so nice to see that. Lots of fish stores sell fish and don't sweat what conditions they may encounter in their new home, but Juan actually cares and is great.

Its shell was also pyramiding, which is a sure sign of malnutrition. They had betta fish in tiny cups (which is an unfortunately common but inhumane way of displaying them) and were advertising minuscule tanks for them. The current standard of care is much higher and bettas need 5 gallon minimum tanks. No living creature should live in a 1 gal water dispenser, which was advertised at a discount in the very front. It was obvious that this shop only cared about profit and not animal welfare and I could not stomach giving this place my money.
