Sunset Pet & Supplies

Love this place. My friend told me to go check them out after my last beta died (2 ½ years from PetCo), so I stepped cautiously in the doorway and asked if they had snakes in there because I’m deathly afraid of snakes. The guy told me where I shouldn’t look and I was all set.
I have two fish from here and both are incredibly healthy. They got me set up with two tanks and a live plant for my beta (who is absolutely gorgeous and has been making a bubble nest since getting settled).
I had to stop in the other day because my beta wasn’t eating his food. The guy there is so nice and totally understanding of my snake fear. He asked if I was okay with worms and got me set up with a cup of blood worms for my beta. So happy to report my beta is happily eating!
Very much looking forward to getting a third fish!

Great fish store! Sunset pet store is located in Silver Lake in a small plaza. This store is a little dirty, but they have the BEST PRICE and it is very homely. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful. It is a fast in and out store.
I have been coming here for over a year now and I had no problems with my fish I brought here. Surprisingly, I got lucky and got even MORE! The two «balloon mollies» I brought started making a lot of babies. I asked Sunset pet store if I can sell baby fish to them. They said I can get store credit for the baby fish once they get to a certain size. Sadly, they all slowly died from my strong filter. Poor guys…
I stopped by this store a week ago to buy more fish (5 neon tetras, 2 cory cats, 1 dwarf blue red, and 3 dalmatian mollies) and all the fish are doing great! They love my tank.
Thank you Sunset Pet & Supplies!
Tip:
From my experience killing a lot of fish, I learned how to take better care of them. Whenever I buy new fish, I pour all of them in a big bowl and leave them for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I pour 1 cup of our fish tank water into the big bowl and take out 1 cup of water from the big bowl. Repeat that for 2 hours. Basically, I try to remove as much of the fish store water… and let the new fish get used to my aquarium water, so they don’t freak out and die in my tank. Works great!

Lady who owns this store takes every dime out of it and doesnt put anything into the store. Dirty, unkept. Ceiling falling down. Low inventory. I feel sorry for the guy who works there.

This place is pretty cool. It’s local and employees are helpful. I was able to get a tank and all of the supplies necessary for my water turtle. Employees are willing to guide you through what your pet needs; in my case my turtle. So glad I found this store!

Went here yesterday to buy some things because it was the closest pet shop around… I regret giving them my money. There was only one person. Working, he had his children in the store. I walked around and counted 9 dead fish floating in the tanks. I walked over to the gerbil section and saw over a dozen mice and hamsters dead in the cages with the living rodents. I am a reptile lover, & saw the snakes cramped in a small aquarium. It smelled like absolute garbage. They had a bird whose cage was covered in feces. I would never buy an animal from here ever. I wish I could give this place negative stars. I hope animal control busts this place for cruelty to animals. Disgusting.

I am a reptile keeper and breeder and I always judge a place by how well it houses its reptiles. I have come here several times and see that the reptiles are not well maintained.
With the amount of reptiles they have, it would take about 30 minutes a day to clean all the tanks. Do you really not have time for this between two employees?
The place overall looks incredibly run down and dirty. This is a place where you sell live animals. Do you not realize that appearance matters so much more than any other shop?
I hope that the employees will read all these bad reviews and get a clue. And actually why don’t they have inspections of places like this like they do with restaurants?

Hidden away in the corner, I would of never found this place on my own. A friend recommend that I get my crickets here, and I have been going there ever since. It only costs me 1 $ a week to feed my gecko. They have crickets in 3 sizes and they are alway alive and healthy unlike petco’s cricket most of the time half dead. I buy all my supplies here too, they have everything I need for my gecko and snake.
The staff is amazingly friendly, they always remember what I want. :) and very willing to spend time to talk to you if you have questions.

This is the worst pet shop ive ever been to. You get slapped in the face with stench. A pungent aroma of animal waste and death… most of the fish are sick or dead. The place is disgusting and so are the aquariums. I was there for 2 mins and i had to leave. This place is a great example of what animal cruelty is. How is this places still in business? Please dont come here. Don’t support the abuse of animals for profit… i wish i could give mehative stars…

This place is sad. It consistently smells of animal poop and the animal changes are always dirty. The fish tanks are un-​maintained. It makes me extremely sad for animals that are kept in these conditions.

Everytime I go to this place somebody helps me and gives me a little insight on what’s going on with my fish tank. As a first time successful fish tank owner I encounter a lot of challenges to keep my tank healthy. Anytime I need to know something or I’m starting a new adventure I come here and the staff are always friendly knowledgeable and quick to help me find what I need.
As far as the cleanliness of the place, I do have to say it appears, only appears to be a little messy. Upon closer inspection things are just kind of old which some people may think is dirty but its just not. Their tanks are clean and clear. They’re kept very minimal to reduce any bacteria. The fish are healthy. And any time I’ve purchased things from them I’ve never had a problem with the quality.
Also, just to add on the friendliness of the staff, anytime I need a water check to check my acidity levels etc they are happy to do it free of charge.
Overall, I love this place! I’ve never been happier and more successful in raising healthy fish in my entire life. Thank you so much guys! Just thought I’d give you a review, I’m on my way now to go talk to you about how to safely raise my new baby Angel Fish. Obviously, something is going right!

This place is absolutely filthy. The tanks are dirty inside AND outside. The back half of the store, where the aquariums are, is kept very dim so you don’t notice the piles of discarded equipment, trash, and broken tanks.
The worst part: the place I normally get frozen mice for my snake was temporarily sold out, so I called this place and asked if they had frozen mice for sale. The man said no, but he could kill some mice and pop them in the freezer for me. I verified he would kill the mice humanely (popping the neck is an instant, supposedly painless kill), and he said of course. So when I picked up the mice, I found four mice that had been tossed live into a box and then frozen. They were huddled in the corner of the box together and frozen in one big lump. Absolutely horrifying.

I’ve been going to this fish store for a number of years since it was recommended to me by a relative who also shops there. It’s appearance is pretty dingy; it’s on a less glamorous stretch of Sunset Blvd., the store’s pretty cramped, and most of the fish tanks are either poorly lit or a bit dirty, but if you’re okay with settling for less than pristine, then it won’t bother you. They sell some reptiles, rodents, and birds on rare occasion, but that’s really not what you should be going to this store for unless you’re picking up supplies. Fish is really what they specialize in.
Their fish selection is pretty good if you’re looking for something other than the standard stock. They’ve got a fairly good selection of cichlids, and I’ve seen some unusual large carnivorous fish in addition to arowanas such as needle-​nose gar and «freshwater barracuda.» They also have softshell turtles of varying sizes from time to time. They do have good stuff for beginners as well, but it’s fairly hit-​and-​miss regarding what they stock; I wouldn’t say that they regularly stock much other than their feeder fish and guppies. Their supplies are pretty standard as far as things like substrate, food, medications, supplements, etc. goes. They always have a good selection of woods and stones to decorate your tank. They also have one tank of plants, but its’ very hit-​and-​miss regarding which plants and what quality they’re in. The guys who run the store are nice and helpful, and they regularly give discounts when you’re a regular; when I was setting up a large communal tank, I bought everything from the tank up from them, and they cut me what amounted to around a 15% discount on the total.

This place rules.

I found snails in my tank from some driftwood I purchased from Petco. I called Sunset Pet & Supplies to help me out. I had read that loaches eat snails, and the associate showed me different loaches & I LOVE the guy he recommended: a skunk loach! He has become like a little puppy to my 14″ Pleco and hides underneath him, cleans his gills & scales. The fish and tanks are very clean and well cared for EVERY TIME I go. I just wanted these snails eaten (which was fun to watch) and this little skunk loach makes me laugh.

No saltwater livestock. They sell saltwater 0.65 cents a gallon. Some nice freshwater fish, but not many varieties

I drive by the area often and I’ve always wanted a hamster. =]
I decided to check it out and all I can say is WOW! the employees are awesome. Edson and Jessie are helpful and knowledgeable.
The prices for their little animal sections are pretty good and the quality is great. I had a $ 30 budget for a hamster (s) and supplies– i walked away within the budget range. I am very pleased.
The aquatic area is pretty good too. They carry exotic fish that costs up to mid $ 130’s and I assessed the fins of their fish, I have to say how impressed I was to zero-​to-​very minimal fin rots. Their Arowanas are in great shape, their angel fish look proportional and their bettas are gorgeous. .
It always feels good to support local businesses esp, when you get excellent service along with affordable prices… =]

The people who work here are very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They have food/​supplies for reptiles, fish, and small animals. I went to buy some turtle food, a bigger aquarium, floating dock, and filter. The tropical fish they have swimming around in the back are eerie and beautiful. Double check the merchandise you buy to make sure it’s not damaged or missing pieces. The friendly guy behind the counter told me that people steal suction cups out of packages.

I returned here yesterday to get compensated for my dead fishes.
As expected, they would not compensate for the Hi Fin Sharks (they’re not cheap) but did give me 3 new panda goldfishes.
Guess what? 2 of them already dead and the 3^rd on its way out.
That’s it. NEVER EVER AGAIN!

Every fish I bought from them died in 2 weeks.
The advice they gave me and products they sold to me have all failed to do the job. Also, every fish tank there had dead fish rotting away and fishes sharing the same tank with others that had ick. I don’t recommend the store for anyone who takes pride in their fish tank

I have a 30 gallon tenecor acrylic tank, currently i have a Paku, two white African cichlids and a yellow African cichlid.
I can’t recall which lake species they are.
Anyway I like this store, they have a decent selection of fish, most of which look pretty healthy and happy.
They have a nice selection of tanks and equipment, and they are pretty helpful. They remembered me after one visit and asked me where I’d been for a couple weeks.
This store, like most independent pet stores is cluttered, but you can find what you need easily enough.
They also have most pet needs, like crickets and feeder goldfish.
Nice store all in all.
