  • This is one of two aquarium stores that I frequent, and to be honest, I frequent it more because it's close, than because it's good. (I have salt water fish, so my experience, and thus my review, are based solely on their salt water selection, not their fresh water) On the plus side, they always have an above average selection of fish. Many of the smaller stores will fall back on stocking ONLY small, less-expensive fish, that are either safe choices because they will definitely sell, or safe choices because they are hardy enough to last until they do. Trop actually goes out on a limb, and regularly stocks some really amazing specimens, which is somewhat rare in the industry, because it's a gamble for a store to buy livestock in the $100+ range, and run the risk of having the fish die before they sell it. It shows that they have a confidence in their aquatic system, and the knowledge to be able to responsibly sustain life. On the downside, there are only a couple of people that work there that have ACTUAL knowledge. So when you ask a question, sometimes you will get an honest answer from a knowledgeable, responsible adult. Other times, you will get a younger person, who instead of admitting that they don't know, they will make something up. I hate that, and I have tested that theory many times in this store, as I myself have a pretty good knowledge of the hobby, so I'll often throw out test questions to gauge their integrity. Also, they'll sell you anything you want to buy, without asking compatibility questions, and without telling you (or possibly without knowing) that something is wrong with a fish. You can ask, "Is this fish eating?", and the answer will always be yes, but I have found that it is smarter to ask if they'll toss some food in, so that I can gauge for myself. The only other drawback, is that this store is very expensive, where the same products and livestock at the other store I frequent (review to come) are MUCH more reasonable, but I weigh that against the 25min drive, and this store usually wins out as a matter of convenience. So in short, this can be a great place to buy salt water fish, but do your own homework, and observe and assess the fish yourself (perhaps over a week or 10 days) rather than taking their word for it.
