Monster Pets has everything you can imagine for pets. They have a wide range of fishes that other stores don't have and priced pretty decent (depending on what type of fish you want, that is). I usually tell myself when entering that I'm not getting any fish today but always end up leaving with something. The tanks are always stocked. Check it out. You might find something you like!!! I got this nice size flowerhorn from Chris.

Love this place!! Everything under one roof. Was there a few weeks ago and happy with everything. Was doing the mail order thing, but as long as I can get a ride (not far but too far to carry a 40 lb bag of food) I will be going back there. I can get all my boy's supplies there. Their selection is great, whereas that other place sold out of my boy's food really fast.

I used to shop here for the fish department. The staff at the register for check out are usually good. There is usually plenty of staff (2-3) in the fish department, but they are usually huddled together. The last 2 visits the fish selections were plentiful but several tanks had dead or sick fish in them. This was a definite turn off. I did not want to risk contamination to my tank. I will say that over the year the department has went from bad to great and back to less then good. Not sure why there is lack of consistency but I will continue to check in because I have seen this location on it's better days and it is possible they will be great again.
Last visited on Friday January 20th....I see that the store has replied and I can not find a way to respond back....so I made an edit to my original review! Qudos to management for responding and looking into this. That is one of the reasons I will continue to patronage this location on better days!
Went back to check out the fish department again. This time water was all over the floor and more dead fish. No improvements as of March 3rd. I wish them luck but I will not risk contaminating my tanks.
*****UPDATE****** as of April 5th 2023 I am please to report massive improvements to the fish department. The tanks look fabulous and are full of healthy fish. The selection was plentiful with several fish of the same species as well as a variety of species. I mean if you wanted an Oscar you could pick from 10 plus Oscars or you could pick from 10 plus families of fish. Great job on the turn around! Absolutely happy with the progress.

The place I've been searching for. The perfect place to feed my fish keeping addiction. Chris was extremely helpful. He made sure I got my Military Discount. He is extremely knowledgeable on fish. The place is very clean and very well stocked. Wish I didn't take so long to revisit. I was blow away with the remodeling they have done. One of the best aquariums around. You will not be disappointed. There display tanks are incredibly as well. I highly recommend this place. Do not drive past if you are a fish keeper. Chris plus his soul into that place and it shows.

Good selection of pet items. I would suggest taking the guinea pigs from the front of the store by the doors and putting them further back. They can become unwell from the cold. I raised and showed these animals from a small child. Also. Really sad to see the dead Betta fish. I don't know why you have so many if they are not being cared for properly.

Ran in here 5 mins before they closed for dog kibble because I happened to be nearby and I’m so glad I did! I hate to be the person that shows up right before close because I usually get shamed, but this whole team took their time and made it feel like there was no rush. The staff was so helpful and gave me a full dog kibble consultation (in a good way). They also gave my lil monster dog a bunch of treats until he found one that he approved of. They carried the bag to the counter for me, and then carried all of my stuff out to my car. It’s the little things. This is my new go-to.
