First look inside Aquatic Pets: quite possibly Wichita's largest fish store | Wichita By E.B. - Wichita By E.B.

Aquatic Pets

Three years ago, I started my journey as a fish owner through Exotic Pets, so I was beyond excited when they opened their new store, Aquatic Pets.

The new fish store, which could be the largest store in town dedicated to all things fish, can be found at 601 N. West Street in the former space that used to be Pet World. It's also the southwest corner of Central and West Street, across the street from the Dillons grocery store.

This place has everything, including supplies, food, tanks, plants, lighting, and more fish than I've ever seen in one area.

The grand opening day for Aquatic Pets was Monday, June 10 and there was a little line already for people waiting to check the place out.

Walking inside was like seeing the city's closest thing to a full-blown Aquarium.

This isn't your typical fish store either. While they sell some basic fish staples like guppies, mollies, and betas, they also carry various species that I couldn't even name. Some I have never seen before.

Seeing is truly believing once you step inside. It's a great place for first time fish owners or long-time owners who are looking to diversify what they have at home.

I tried to count how many types of fish they had on hand, but getting past the number twenty was getting tough. So I spent the rest of my time browsing around, which was fun in itself.

I bet I'll be at this store probably once a month.

Aquatic Pets is located at 601 N. West Street Suite 130 and can be reached at 316-440-4040. Their store hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., every day of the week.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
