  Some really cool selections of animals and marine aquarium invertebrates. Unfortunately, the store is not kept up well. Very dark, a lot of old stock, drafty and cold when we were there. Sad to see some really high priced parrots and birds in such poor conditions (no lighting for them, cold drafts). Tanks in some poor condition, algae ridden, dark, too low in height to comfortably observe. I have worked in a large store which was mainly freshwater and marine aquariums and we maintained pristine tanks to do right by our customers and our tank inhabitants, so maybe my standards are higher than normal. The setup, presentation, cleanliness here has a lot to be improved upon, however. Hopefully this place can improve. Nice to see a local fish store, not many around today... but you have to be a step above to standout and stay afloat above the big box stores.
