They are now out of buisness, thank God. I went in when they didn't have fish but just water in the tanks. The women said that was fine because the tanks were aging. She had nothing in the tanks to start the cycle. She had no idea about fishless cycling.

First glance was typical of a independant pet store- fish tanks against the wall, animals in an enclosed room, basic supplies. Closer examination finds fish with fungus, ick, and popeye. Tanks are on a sump so most tanks were infected. One large tiger oscar with popeye, approx. 7 in. in a 15 gal. tank. Two 4 in. turtles also in a 15 gal. with no room to swim. Turtle landing takes up half the tank. In the enclosed animal room the animal cages were unsanitary, I could smell the ammonia standing outside the room, although they didn't have many animals. 12-15 bettas on a counter, although three were dead. Clerk was standing at the counter at the time I asked for bettas and the walked away as I approached. (I do not smell!) No one greeted me and until I approached the bettas had no contact with any workers. As I was leaving someone (I couldn't tell who) yelled, "You want fish?!" - No, thanks.
