I’ve been out of the fish keeping hobby for about 5 years now so today was my first trip there in a long time. They’ve changed the place up and I love it so far. It’s definitely on the list of one of the cleanest shops I’ve ever been to. Pretty knowledgeable staff. I would like to see a bigger selection of tanks for purchase but I do understand the constraints of available space. Fish always appear healthy and when in doubt they quarantine the tanks properly. Very nice local shop. Prices vary as do most other shops that deal with livestock.

Some of the staff there seems a bit racist. The overweight lady that works the front of the store always has a nasty rude attitude every single time i come in there. She never helps and always has something bad to say. Questioning me as if i don’t know how to take care of my pets. You are an employee nobody who i need to explain anything to. Maybe if you take the energy and focus on the gym you wouldn’t have such a bad attitude. Was a loyal customer there probably won’t be going back because of that KAREN. You hate your job get a new one lady!

Was washing next door, but stopped here with my Great Niece. Pretty impressive pet store- it's huge inside. They decorated for October 31st. This place is home for many birds, fish, reptiles and rodents (that's the best I could come up with). Their shelves were stocked. They have two doors that will lead you inside as well. The staff are attentive.

Fish look healthy in very clean water tanks. Great assistance if you need help with something. A large selection of fish, birds and amphibians a must check out place.

Found this GEM while searching for live mice for my python, it's probably the nicest store I've visited. Too bad it was a really quick stop, planning on coming back with there whole family.

My husband and i came to animal crackers to check out there fish selections I was so amazed the people are very friendly and always say hi to you when you come in. We met the owner and he is a very nice man and I definitely will recommend to all my friends and family and they also have great prices

Let me talk about the pros first. Probably the cleanest pet shop ive been to. I’m a fish guy, so i will talk about that. All their tanks are super clean and most of them are planted as well. A HUGE variety of fish and plants. Especially the different types of plants surprised me. No dead fish, everyone looks healthy.

Now the cons. 1) Overpriced, but that is somewhat fine especially since the livestock and plants looked healthy and of good quality. 2) I expect the people working at the fish section to have a minimum knowledge about fish, but i do understand not everyone knows about everything. So that is okay as well. But please do-not pass on wrong information to hobbyists. 3) The person working had no idea where the fish where. Since they have so many tanks, I couldn’t remember where i saw them. He kept on saying saying things like “we may not have them”, “they just came in, so Im not sure which section they are”, etc. So i finally took the time to find it myself and then tell him where they were.

I hope these things change, so i can update this to a 5star rating. Definitely going back!
