Atlantis

Atlantis Aquatic Gardens is located in N. 13th street in Terre Haute.

I recently visited this shop and I noticed it was alot different than other pet shops. It sells fish, and other aquatic animals. There was even a parrot that could bark, meow, and hiss at the customers.

It has been around for awhile, but I noticed it wasn't as clean as it should have been. This pet shop is known for its history of having lions and cougars (not for sale, of course) but for viewing pleasure. I feel that the tanks were not very clean and the ponds could have alot more maintenance with them. It smelled like animals, which is expected of the "zoo" animals, but the look of the algae in the tanks were not very pleasurable. If this is an old exhibit in Terre Haute, they should be taking better care of it to please the customers and sell more. It was very enjoyable to look at, but I do not think I would purchase any fish from this store. It was much more different than the average pet store because of its massive ponds and ginormous fish. They even gave the customers an opportunity to feed the fish in the ponds. I feel this pet shop would be very enjoyable if it were more organized. The shop would definatley have more visitors and be more popular around Terre Haute. This is just another problem Terre Haute is facing with its bad reputation of being "dirty".
