It's a shop that inspires strong opinions — fiercely loyal regulars sing the praises of its helpful staff, while others raise serious concerns about animal care conditions. The store carries both freshwater and saltwater fish, along with a range of reptiles, small mammals, and birds. Reviewers note the selection of aquarium fish as a draw, though the live plant selection is described as limited and somewhat pricey. You'll also find cages, décor, food, and general pet supplies packed into the relatively tight retail space. Feeders — both mice and rats — are a regular purchase for many long-time customers. Staff members like Yalissa have earned specific praise for their aquarium knowledge, taking the time to explain tank care and offer detailed advice. Multiple reviewers describe workers as patient, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the hobby. The consultation-style service appears to be a real strength, with employees walking customers through setup questions and product choices. However, the store's reviews are notably polarized. A significant number of customers report concerning conditions: overcrowded enclosures, lack of air conditioning during summer months, dirty tanks, and animals that appear unhealthy upon purchase. Several buyers have reported betta fish dying within hours or days, and small mammals arriving with health issues including ringworm. The store's cramped footprint means animals, supplies, and customers share a tight space that some find overwhelming. For Pennsauken-area fish keepers looking for a local source of aquarium fish and supplies with hands-on staff guidance, Value Pet Center offers convenience and variety. The pricing on fish and accessories is generally considered fair, though some items run higher than competitors. Those shopping here would be wise to carefully inspect any livestock before purchasing and quarantine new additions at home. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater, Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Bettas, Live Plants, Dry Goods, Fish Food - **Services**: Consultation - **Known For**: Reptiles & Amphibians, Premium Equipment ## Highlights - Over 5,000 gallons of aquariums, terrariums, and enclosures on display - Carries both freshwater and saltwater fish along with reptiles and small pets - Staff member Yalissa praised for detailed aquarium care advice - Long-time feeder supplier with consistent stock - Compact store packed with supplies, food, décor, and cages ## Customer Reviews **"Daqueen Kee"** - 5/5 - 2 weeks ago > Good customer service ,clean organize store **"Dave Pettine"** - 3/5 - 2 weeks ago > could be cleaner / healthier. **"Daniel Morale"** - 1/5 - Edited 3 weeks ago > i brought a betta fish and it died in less then 24hours don’t go now 2 of them died because of poor care the red fish had a black stop on its back and died in less then 7 hours don’t go!!! i would like a new fish ASAP.. or a different animal **"Jeff Krummert"** - 5/5 - a month ago > Good selection.
