Great store. Great Staff. Expect the unexpected. They had newly born baby fish the last time I visited. Mike and Kathy are awesome. So knowledgeable and helpful. First place to visit for pet supplies and freshwater fish.

The attendant is very knowledgeable about the right things you would need to start a fish tank for the very first time. It's been a month now and my fish are doing just fine. Thanks to Mr. Critters

I don’t know very much about fish and me and my boyfriend decided to set up a tank and get some. I assumed going to the pet store and asking some questions would help me figure out which fish I wanted and how to care for them. I really like the male guppy’s so I got 2 of those & a red male betta and asked the lady if they would all be okay together. She told me it’d be fine (yes, I should’ve done a google search) so I bought them all and took them home. Immediately I noticed the guppies were scared to swim on the bottom, the more I watched I noticed the beta quickly swimming towards one every few minutes and scaring the little guppy’s because they’d quickly swim away and hide in a corner. I googled if male beta fish and male guppies aren’t getting along what would best resolve the issues. Google immediately told me male betas and male guppies don’t belong together. The beta would kill my guppies. I’m very disappointed in this pet store, I figured it’d probably be a little cheaper and easier than running around petco searching for an employee but I’m almost sure petco would’ve honestly told me those fish don’t belong together rather than wanting to sell a fish (that I honestly felt bad for, poor beta had straggly thin fins and was barely moving when I picked him out) . I have given the beta away and honestly just want back the $5 I spent on a beta (especially when i’m sure petcos betas are actually cheaper and MUCH better condition) the lady there knew would the beta kill/injure my other fish (and if she didn’t she shouldn’t have been there alone running the store). I wouldn’t recommend going here unless you’re sure what you need & maybe check prices somewhere else. In the last picture you can see the beta ready to scare one of the guppies.

Here, you can receive reliable information from an experienced couple who own the store together. They certainly care for the animals and provide many unique choices. They have a high regard for animal lives and wish to bring the very best pet from them to you.

Very caring older couple run this personally tailored pet shop. They are sadly retiring soon and seeking the place but it's been a great addition to those people who love their pets.

I believe that the lady that helped me is one of the owners of this store. She made sure I was getting the right fish for my new tank, and recommended that I wait to establish my tank until I get the rest of the fish I want. She really cared about making sure I had fish that were going to survive. I will buy the rest of my fish from this store, for sure
