Lotus Aquarium — Attraction in Lawndale

This store sells fish with ich as long as the customers are distracted and not aware of it. The main problem with me was the owner's lack of understanding and the negative attitude displayed during our conversation.

They have good selections that will attract many customers in but their maintenance and care for these fishes are below subpar, they even have a message begging the customers to feed their fish because the owners are very very cheap. Cleanliness is non-existent at this store and cross contamination is evident by the ich infested tanks which can be seen across the store, they even place their quarantine tank right in the center of their display tanks with no sign of such.
