  Such a decline from years ago. I recently moved back to the Mooresville area after being away over 10 years. In the past, I had bought nearly all my aquarium fish at Sea Shell. They cost a bit more than the chains, but I was willing to pay that premium to get healthier stock and support local small business. Now that I have settled again, I am planning tanks. I went into Sea Shell to browse and discuss plans/ideas. I was so disappointed. While the employee on duty was very nice and willing to be accommodating and order whatever I wished, the store itself was in shambles compared to what I remember. The smells from the small animal cages was overpowering. Most of the fish tanks were empty. I can understand it doesn't make financial sense to stock fish if you can't sell them, but the tanks themselves were in a deplorable state. Dirt, algae, general disarray- I question the health of the few fish left. I'm sad to see that this place has declined so much, and while I really do wish I could support them and order my stock through them, I simple can't trust that the fish would be kept in healthy conditions until I picked them up.
