Business ProfileforSouthern Aquatics Local Fish Store

This place used to be great, and give us kind service but our visit today was so bad that we will not be returning. Firstly their prices were VERY overpriced. I was charged $13 each for peppermint shrimp that other stores sell for $4... Our cart ended up being $200 for just a few shrimp, some freshwater plants and a testament for pests... We saw Aquariums marked up to $15,000 which from being in the hobby for over 20 years we know is ridiculous. Secondly the staff did not appear to listen to myself or my husband. When we told them we wanted a certain quantity of something they would give us extra even when we said no basically forcing us to buy more than we wanted. When we walked in they were doing water changes, and they were removing asterina stars so I asked if they would be willing to give us some with our other purchases. The last time we visited this store they gave us some complimentary but this time they overcharged us $15 for 25 PEST star fish that most people have to remove and get rid of. I only asked for 20 and again they gave me more than I asked for and charged me a ridiculous price. We were served by a girl with pink hair and a girl with green hair. Both did not seem like they wanted to be there and were not very talkative when asked about products in the store. To say we were shocked and appalled at his experience compared to the last time we had visited would be an understatement. We used to make it a point to drive to this location over other stores. We will not be wasting our gas to give this store anymore business. It really seems like you don't respect your customers when you are trying to rip them off... Terrible business conduct This business has now messaged me on Instagram claiming I am being untruthful, damaging their business etc for leaving an honest review. Very shady business practices you can find the full details on my Instagram @brianna_a5
