    Called this store and Juan was fantastic in regard to helping me put together a turtle electric gravel cleaner that I bought on Amazon. Cost $20, worth every penny!!!! When I arrived to T.I., Joseph assisted me in one-stop shopping for my turtles, from answering my questions and explaining what I need for them, to helping me with what's practical for the red ear sliders, and even offering to help me carry everything to my vehicle. Juan helped with check out with impeccable customer service, and my experience at Tropical Imports was easy breezy and I really overall appreciated them. Highly recommend this store, from fish to reptiles, turtles and all your supplies needed for an amazing-looking aquarium. C'mon, they are aquarium specialists!!!!!! My aquarium is incredible, the red ear slider turtles are so so so happy!!!!!!! :)

    This is a local store for me and I have always felt welcome. People should expect a more chill atmosphere. 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. He does his best to make sure people don't wait too long if he's the only one in the store. I super appreciate his help.

    Purchased 65 gallon terrarium & table holder @ TropicalImports! Ed, my bearded dragon, loves it!!!

    It smells. The tanks are filthy. Parking isn't their fault but it's horrible at best.

Two days before my dog Cosmo passed, we visited Pet Food Express to give him a bath. While there, we got him supplies for a "birthday." We don't know when his actual birthday is but we never gave him one and wanted him to have the experience. Even if he couldn't understand birthdays, we wanted him to know he was appreciated. We were working on limited time. A few days prior, he was officially diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. When we were checking out, Aolani asked us if Cosmo had a birthday coming up, and I told her about our plans and Cosmo's diagnosis. She then proceeded to love on Cosmo, giving us a bunch of treats and well wishes. It was the absolute kindest and sweetest customer service I can remember. Before we left, she told us that if Cosmo ever needed love, we knew where to come back and find it. I can't express to her how much that meant kindness meant to me. All three of our dogs spent the next couple of days snacking on those treats. We'd scheduled Cosmo's birthday for Saturday but moved it up to Friday when we came to the realization that would need to be his final day. We finally finished the treats in the moments after Cosmo passed. He never suffered. He never knew pain. To her, this may have been nothing more than a small gesture of warmth to two strangers, but to me, it's something I'll hold dear for the rest of my life -- especially when thinking of Cosmo. Cosmo loved to smile and Aolani helped him keep smiling right to the very end. He loved those treats.
