Sixth Ave Aquarium

May I suggest a coffee shop and a florist since fish are deader than the dead flowers? more

WOW, I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one out there that has gotten ripped off by these people! In addition to buying homely fishes that died, I had purchased two 70 gallon fish tanks from him and 4 months later one of them cracked and flooded my whole apartment! It was a nightmare. Not only did the owner care less when I called crying about the disaster, but he told me it was my fault because I bought a cheap tank with no warranty and that my floor was "uneven". Huh? Does he know what my floors look like? And if I had known before hand how ridiculously cheap it would be and how much money I would lose, I never would have bought it! Cons: Bad service, cheap tanks that are guaranteed to flood your place, dead fishes, and an owner who gets off on ripping people off more

I am only a semi-experienced aquarist, but I actively discuss aquarium matters on online forums with other aquarists and study how to best provide a good environment for my fish. Pros: Many varieties of fish, many rare. Cons: Fish crammed in tiny compartments, don't look healthy, wonder where they came from more

This place was so cool. Where do you see a flower shop and aquarium combined?! They have a wide variety of exotic fishes and beautiful flowers! The people there are so nice and very helpful. I go there once a week just to see what kind of new aquatic animals they have and stop by the flower shop on the way out for some flowers. Overall, a great place to stop at and check out. Pros: Unique Cons: Parking more

The selection of fish and other aquarium animals is amazing, but the quality is not very good. When I shop there and look at the fish, I just get the feeling that they are not cared for very well. I have made a few purchases here and have a 50% success rate of my fish surviving - not very good. However, the main reason I would not recommend this place is the poor customer service they never fail to deliver every single time I shop there. Just straight up rude and unfriendly. It is as if they really don't want you to be there. There are many other really great shops for fish lovers in this city, skip 6th Ave Aquarium. Pros: Location is great if you want some really good Chinese food in the area. Cons: The people who work there. more

I just bought four freshwater fish here. One I had to return because I was told that it wouldn't grow too big for my tank and that it would get along fine with little fish. When I got it home and researched it on the internet, I discovered the fish I was sold would actually get 7-10 inches long and *was* a threat to my smaller fish. They did trade in the fish for another one, but didn't offer to make up the cost difference. The other three fish I bought died within the week. Overall, not such a great experience. Cons: Crowded, Dead fish in tanks more

When I have purchased fish here they are usually all dead within a day. The tanks are overstocked and if it was any other animals they would be cited. I really feel sorry for the fish there ... jammed in tanks swimming around with dead fish in the tank. The staff is not helpful at all and will hand you a net to get your own fish. They have no advice to give and are more concerned about socializing than helping customers. Prices on tanks and supplies are reasonable, but because they take such poor care of their fish I will not shop there. Pros: cheap supplies Cons: no customer service, sick fish, loud rap music more

The aquarium part of this store is not what I would recommand. The staffs there is not informative, no advise what so ever!! You better be a pro before you shop there. And dead fish in the tanks?? Hum....what's that about? Over all this store is like a costco--help yourself, no question ask. Pros: Lot of selection, Inexpensive Cons: Not informative more
