    First impression the staff is not just trying to make a sale. They actually want you to have the right start. Very knowledgeable. Will be back.

    To be honest went there twice in the last two months becauseits labeled as a fish store. When I was looking at the fish the majority of them had ick and there was a few with fin rot too. I also saw deads in the tank that look like they've been in there for a few days. They have a huge selection of other animals as well that are not getting properly taken care of, rodents crammed into small tanks a nice size bearded dragon in a tank where he could barely turn around. They don't have any frozen foods either for fish or reptiles only "live" that are crammed into aquariums that can barely support the amount of rodents that are in them. Definitely need more training and better treatment of the animals.

    Mike has been great over the years I have not even on fish let alone any other animal die from him he even took the time tonight to try to bring back a snake someone else's mis handling caused injury with no requests for anything just bring it on over and Care..I would stand next to Mike in court in front of judge dnr officer and say the same.. this man has been here before most people coming in to buy animals were in diapers and I'm not Mike but I'm not a spring chicken.so rethink what your accusing and if you want any more explanation. Read on how non birds of prey digest how lizards grow snakes don't look at Google no offense mike was doing this before Google I trust Mike. I have bought fish snakes lizards quite a few things over years and never had any problems as I have had with other stores. So I will continue to buy animals from Mike get care advise.and people who don't think so well get some new crayons maybe some new lights upstairs in the attic. Couple more latches up top of cage. And give the hamster some more food. Mike you have been great to us if you wanted my family to stand with on anything on animals anytime anywhere just so. Anyone who believes otherwise your is malnutritioned feed it get it a new cage it's sick. If agree then go to aqualand and listen to Mike. So Mrs Dona I would suggest to you at your age while doing your petition to take into account age has no bearing on experience also you can have computer or book know how but not physically have experience what your age does count for is how much experience in areas of animals you have had in your adult life and times to deal with those situations or animal care and knowledge so before you go starting petitions understand you can do a lot I'm life but it takes time for hands on experience degrees situations and in any account by age and experience mikes got you on that so do something worthwhile like maybe start a petition for donations for cages or offer free community help if you think Mike needs it but stop your keyboard Google Job and let Mike do his. Again thank you for all you do Mike for animals and people. As for going there a buying I do All the time I also sell my animals I breed there so I go there a lot and I believe a lot of ya key boarders need to use time and years for real life experience those of who might have real life experience and or think you do should be ashamed of yourself. Thank you Mike a staff at aqualand you have always been great. Also whoever mis Jewel .450 for a cockatiel isn't a bad price I've raised birds and my father has for most of his life and for a good bloodline and young one is actually a good price unless you're getting a bad bloodline or something is wrong.
