Only writing this because I did not want to argue with the employee there. I always research the fish I see there before I buy it. Various Google information about the fish I wanted said it was a schooling fish, which I was advised about at big als. What I also read was get a minimum of 6 to lower in-fighting, or get 1. I only wanted 1 but he told me I had to get 3. 3 from my experience is not a good number to lower in-fighting. Fact is that fish would have been happier to come home with me.
Has that classic old aquarium store feel about it. Smells a little off. Tons of fish, and small pets, stacked high. Best part though was the excellent service and advice form all the employees we spoke to.
While there's a big selection and it's cool to see a large variety of fish and reptiles these animals don't seem to be treated the best.While there I saw fish swimming through nearly solid algae, lizards missing tails and all of them without drinking water, our beta which seemed to be one of the healthiest is sick, and when we informed the staff about one of the dieing betas a staff member with fully open gapping mouth tapped at and shook this little glass bowl watching the fish who couldn't lift his tail fins and then she left it without a word.Then they charged me twice for my sick beta. I'm only going back there for a refund then never again. I'm so disappointed.
Yes been years since I was in Big Al s. Still has has the same smell. Same set up as well. Caters to more smaller fish. Use to be able to get large fish at 1 time. Also added tons of reptiles of all kinds. Still have the great big tank in the middle filled with awesome fish.
I always enjoy going to this store. They've got a great selection of fish and reptiles. The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. If you need advice about starting a fish tank this is a great place to go.
