  I was checking out Tropical Gardens as I was told they have a wide selection of fish. And they do. However, even with an employee present(and currently selling to a customer), there were dead fish in multiple tanks. One tank had a fish holding a skeleton as others chased it to try and pick off and eat more of the rotting fish. These were not "fresh" dead fish from a recent shipment, most appeared to be in there for at least a few days if not weeks/months. Tanks were filthy, with algae beginning to coat the glass. I imagine they hadn't had water changes in weeks, and none of them seemed to have a pleco, loach, snail, or any type of bottom feeder to help clean the tank. I can't imagine the fish were fed properly with the conditions they were in. Dead fish, filthy tanks, and lack of animal care should deter all business from this store. I will not be returning or suggesting to anyone that they support a store with blatant animal abuse.
