The first time you walk into this place, you will be astonished by the beauty and cleanliness of the tanks. DJL does not skimp on its display tanks. Many are very large (several 125 gallons, lots of 90s and 75s, and three walls of one room are full of 30s), and unlike the stark tanks of many other stores, the aquariums are fully decorated. More importantly, they are CLEAN, with healthy fish. The staff is very coscientious. They don't want a customer to walk out with a fish that they do not have the knowledge or means to properly keep. They are also very honest. They'd rather you not spend money than get a fish or item that isn't appropriate for your setup! DJL has both freshwater and saltwater livestock, including corals. They have crickets available for purchase even though they do not sell animals that require them; this is a great community resource. If you purchase feeders or crickets, they tend to give you much more than you ask for, but charge you a lot less than other stores.
Pros: Ambience, Service, Quality
Cons: Parking is street only
