Exotic specialists and unique atmosphere

by CSMobileUser3

This pet store is really cool. The fish varieties are spectacular. On more than one occassion, I've found fish that no other pet store ever carry. Medusa has excellent and healthy seahorses, coral, weird little anglers, and hundreds of other unique saltwater aquarium fish. My favorite section is actually the reptiles. They have a lot of Uromastyx, Argentinian tegus, chameleons, kingsnakes, milksnakes, basilisks, and some gecko variety. There is a giant mural on the storefront with Obama holding his lizard. Check it out for yourself. The negative people that write reviews must be those typical Petco type people. Friendly detail oriented small business is the vibe I get from Medusa.

Great Store for the Avid Hobbyist

by lakerfaniam

This store probably has the best selection of rare, exotic reptiles and reef fish, invertebrates and coral in Los Angeles... This store is definitely for the serious hobbyist and not the amateur. If you want a $19 lizard or $10 fish, then go to PetCo, but if you are a true enthusiast and appreciate a quality selection and knowledgeable staff, this is your store....

• Pros: Great Selection and Knowledge
• Cons: A little Pricey

Great Staff, Great Selection, Hard Parking

by PoopSmith

This place was nice. A really nice selection of saltwater fish and reptiles. The staff was really nice and knowledgeable. They helped me figure out exactly what sort of reptile that I was looking for and weren't pushy about selling me something.

My only problem was the parking situation. It's around Pico and Bundy, so there isn't really a parking lot. You have to find a metered space, or hope you don't get a ticket in the permit only parking.

• Pros: Great selection, great customer service
• Cons: bad parking
