Aquarium & Reptile Depot

Very clean tanks, lively fish too with a large selection. They have many aquatic plants and corals. Although the plants didn't look very healthy. They also had many supplies and tanks. A pretty small selection of reptiles but then again this is probably one of the only place in Sacramento that sells them. My only reason for 4 stars is because of the plants. Although besides that, it's a great place to visit and the staff are pretty nice.

Drove almost 2 hours just to check out this place and was blown away by their selection, cleanliness, and competitive prices. Their staff were pretty good too! I would rate their customer service at a 7-8 and I say that not because they were bad, but because I was standing around waiting and needing help but they were too busy trying to vacuum some water on the floor rather than to assist me. I believe one of the 3 guys was even one of the owners. I was kinda upset at that especially since I also drove that far and not even one recognized I needed help. Anyway after looking for someone else and getting the assistance I needed, that other guy was really professional and helpful. The other owner at the counter too was really good with his customer service so that made me feel welcomed and appreciated.nI don’t mind driving here again, they have a great-huge selection and the place is pretty awesome. They have a great selection of water plants, and their selection of fishes are amazing especially for saltwater fishes. I wish they had more selections of fresh water Angel fishes but aside from that tho, this is the biggest aquarium/reptile store I’ve been too. Overall my almost 2 hour drive was worth it, Thanks to the guy I had to run down for help and the co-owner at the counter their customer service is good. The other owner on the floor needs to pay more attention to customers around needing help, and maybe have his employees take care of the wet floor or just recognize the customers as more important than that wet floor. But anyway aside from that, go check out this place. It’s awesome and although you may need to keep looking for someone for help, when you do get the assistance their very knowledgeable and courteous.

My first visit, and I can't believe I'd never been here before. I stocked up on shrimp food that I can't get in Reno. Great selection of wood and live plants here. Lots of filters, pumps and accessories. I was hoping they'd have some large aquariums for sale but there really isn't room for large ones on the fish side of the shop. I didn't check out the reptile side. I was waited on quickly. It was fun exploring. Will definitely be back.

Great store. Every time I go I get a friendly greeting from staff. Everybody there is very knowledgeable and friendly. Jeff and jason are great people and I always enjoy going to the depot I recommend this place to everybody who has reptiles, fish, corals, or just wants to go check the place out. Thanks for the great service guys, this place deserves the 5 star review.

Excellent variety and prices. Wait times for help a tad long sometimes due to being crowded. They manage it fairly by having a que. The staff is knowledgeable. I went in there looking for a specific item thinking it was what I needed and was guided to a much less expensive item that met my needs more fully. They keep the place warm and dark so it can be a little uncomfortable but the reptiles are kept more comfortable. For a dollar you can feed a very friendly a voracious eating tortoise some celery through a tube. As soon as he sees the celery he gets so excited. It is fun, safe and exciting for kids to visit as long as they are respectful and are kept under supervision at all times.
