    Best saltwater/reef shop in Illinois! Best prices on fish and corals, prices are unmatched anywhere in the state!!

    Well this aquarium store is more towards saltwater but they have a pretty decent selection. Another aquarium place recommended coming over here just to do as a bucket list and my only disappointment is there's no fresh water and that's more of my interest but they do have good salt water selections a little pricey but I guess they're stock is pretty decent the fish don't look sick or the inverts next to a frag tank. From what I learned Rob had split from Mario from aquatica and did not know about this place so do give a check out this is an alternative if you're down in Tinley Park beyond aquatica. But do not go here for freshwater fish if you're getting into the aquarium hobby and you just want to do freshwater that's where you go to animal Island in Midlothian

    I'm assuming this place is new because there is no lighted sign like the rest of the plaza (It's located in the Jewel-Osco strip next to Cosmo-Prof). I shop at Cosmo-prof and I heard about this place from a friend. Regardless, I felt like when I walked in I wasn't welcome and wondered if they were open to the public. I was not greeted and as I looked around it seemed as if there was 3 employees on staff at the time. I have a very sick fish and needed some advice. There are a lot of cool fish to look at so I started roaming around. After about 10 minutes FINALLY someone asked if I had a question. I told him my dilemma and he just stood there and nodded. He basically said there is nothing else I can do and keep doing what I was already doing. Unsatisfied, I bought some water conditioner and the owner cashed me out. He didn't say hello, goodbye, have a nice day, nada... he only averted from his conversation with his friends to tell me my total and take my money. I expect this from a McDonald's but not a specialty store. I try to shop local but in this instance I will probably just stick with Petco.

    Hands down the best place to come to if you are looking for salt water fish. Rob is so nice and he is always wanting the best for customers. I live in Bourbonnias and travel 36 minutes to come here for all my fish and food and what ever I need. Yes there is two Aquatics stores near me like 10 mins but nobody is like Robs Aquatics. You can't find Genuine people like Rob and Justin, they will never just sell to sell. Rob's Aquatics always has what you need for your fish and tank.

    I always shop Petsmart for all my dogs needs and things she doesn't need but gets because she is…read moreawesome. Over the years of patronizing this store I've never had a bad experience with anyone working there or the products they sell. Everybody is all smiles (who couldn't when dogs walk in to shop all day), and very knowledgeable of the products they sell. The prices don't seem to outrages to me but I don't have a lot of other pets stores to compare too. Petsmart is all I've known since I was a whipper snapper. Recently I went to have my doggos insanely crazy raptor nails trimmed up. Backstory: I adopted her in 2013 and was advertised as a puppy. She looks like one, but she sure wasn't a pup. No matter, this doggo was in rough shape. She needed me (in the end I needed her more). The fur around her neck was sparse and her skin was kinda nasty from what I was told is mange. She was found in a forest I'm told and had gotten into what not but thats all I know. Over the year I was able to fix everything myself: Her neck has a thick coat of fur, her once rough nasty ears with crusty edges now are fully recovered and feel like silk. Her nails however, were still super long, sharp, and considered weapons. She would scratch people on accident just trying to give them love. Her favorite game is to pull your mouth open with her paws and try to french kiss. Obviously no thanks doggo-- and secondly I'd go to work daily looking like I was attacked by a woman's nails up and down my face. I'd get her nails trimmed and they were still long. My luck however came today when my normal raptor blade sharpener place decided to not update their hours online. Annoyed, I decided to give Petsmart a try. Its about $10 for a clipping, but it was worth every penny. My doggo is REALLY sensitive to any sort of discomfort or slight pain; especially touching her nails. Heather was absolutely amazing with my doggo and used a dremel tool to get the job done. As expected, Doggo wasn't enjoying it and Heather allowed her to take a break and walk around a bit to calm down so part two of the operation was a lot easier. Her nails have never been that short ever before. She hasn't scratched me yet, and shes silent walking on the floor. I wish I would have tried a different groomer before. I was told her quick was unusually long. Heather got those raptor claws looking like doggo nails again. Doggo seems much happier and less sensitive around her nails now. I am just happy because my doggo is more comfortable and less dangerous to her loved ones and fan base. Thank you AGAIN Heather and Petsmart. You have earned all the money I spend on my pets material, living, and grooming needs.

    Came to this location with intentions to adopt a cat. When I ask the woman playing with the fish to…read moresee the cats she came back with ...."well the thing is there's only two of us here me and a cashier and we do adoptions at 1 o'clock. ". (It was 12:50) . I'm thinking a better response would've been. I'll be with you in a minute , but someone came up to her and they were talking so I waited around .....four minutes to 1 and still no acknowledgment and still talking. apparently too busy to help the animals get adopted but not to busy to talk. South suburban put the animals there to get them exposure , they are wasting their time . I won't be buying any of my animal needs here. being that petty to make someone wait .?? Besides myself I saw no other customers in the store.

    This company is horrible at responding to concerns and frequently charged my company for services…read morethey did not provide. Ive emailed numerous times in the last few weeks to service our tank after their billing dept. made mistakes in communicating billing with me. They frequently email me a bill with an invoice date 2 weeks after invoice date and expect me to pay on time when it takes minimum 4 weeks to cut a check from our corporate office. Tried to reconcile. But want to let people be aware to stay away from this company as they don't care if your fish die or not. Update 2/12/2018: Talked to Manager about discrepancies with the invoice after weeks of no response - said he would send fish food but has been two weeks since the conversation and still no food. Wanted to have the invoice changed to reflect them not providing the food but they are so stubborn they did not want to correct. Still waiting. Update 2/12/2018: Jonathon. I've been nothing but helpful in trying to help you get paid on this last invoice but you've had horrible service for the last few years - we've moved on to a better company and they are okay with the time it takes my company to pay invoices. Secondly, yes I worked on Christmas Eve as my company is open 24/7 365 days a year since we work with people. Sorry if you feel that is "sad" that I worked that day and was trying to reconcile your account as you are terrible in getting in contact with. In response to you bashing my credibility on yelp because I had two bad yelp reviews - one being yours - Where are all your positive reviews ???? I'm a person - you are a business. There's 2. Your review shows the type of company you are. Sorry if I've only written two reviews in 3-4 years on yelp and both are negative !!! One was resolved due to a glitch in their computer system. Update 2/27/2018: Jonathon, I've been purchasing the fish food myself ever since I've worked there and it was that way for months before the former director left. That is why when we are being charged for it - it was apparent they were billing incorrectly because my email I sent you shows my admin checked and said no food was provided. None of the other invoices have food on them as a charge also. Here's some attached pictures of the wonderfully expired rusted can of fish food that finally arrived at our building. I called and emailed about this to Norm about the rust on the can and the date of 2.2.2013 on the fish food they send to reconcile the issue - got no answer. I sent a check request indicating not to pay the $9.99 with my supporting documentation. If you have an issue with this, please call me.
