If you're at least my age (40) you remember the days when your parents took you to a pet store where you pick out your first pet that you begged for all year long. You know the one that you promise to take care of, clean its cage, and feed it regularly? This is it throwback to the old school, owner on site, real expert pet store that caters exclusively to folks who keep fish. The owner of this particular store was the manager of the pet store that I went to throughout my childhood. I was thrilled as an adult to learn that he went off on his own and started Jurassic Aquatics. I can't say enough nice things about Fred and his business practices. Don't take it from me, visit the store sometime and see almost every customer who walks in treats him like they're old friends if not family. Do a little business at that store and you'll feel the same way. Anyone who has ever had this experience should at least check out Jurassic and see what you've been missing... You walk into a big box retail pet store and the idiot child who is just old enough to drive him or herself to work asks if they can help you. You asked for anything that is not directly in front of them and they immediately start drooling and call a manager. What should be a two-minute interaction with a sales person in a store turns into a 20 minutes or longer Fiasco to just explain what you're looking for... Because there isn't a chance in hell they've even heard of it. That will never happen at Jurassic, if it involves fish either saltwater or fresh, Fred is your man. By the way, they also offer full-service aquarium maintenance for those of us that are just a little too busy or appreciate the service of an expert to do it themselves. How many big-box retailers offer house calls?
