Absolutely love this store. Matt has helped me both times that I’ve been in to get everything I need to set up my 30 Gallon freshwater tank. He helped me pick out my plants and when it was time, my fish. So far everything he suggested has been spot on and I’ve had zero issues. He really knows what he’s talking about!

First time going here and the worker was inattentive and when I did figure out what I want to purchase she (heavy set short haired Spanish woman) did not ensure that the correct number of fish was in my bag(didn't notice until I got home). Once the transaction was completed she didnt offer me the receipt instead it was balled up and tossed in the trash as if she did not want me to return.

I recently visited and was blown away by the excellent, knowledgeable staff. They were accommodating and patient in answering all my questions and guiding me towards the perfect products for my aquarium. The customer service was also top-notch, with friendly staff members making me feel welcome as soon as I walked in. Additionally, the store had an ample stock of rare freshwater marine fish and corals, which were all healthy and vibrant. Overall, I highly recommend this aquarium store to anyone searching for quality products and exceptional service.

Nice plants, kind of good service but kind of standoffish. I wish it was a little bit more friendly. It wasn't busy or anything, maybe it was just an off day but I will try again

Went in to buy three colored crawfish (red, white and a cool blue one) as well as some feeder shrimp for them. The employee told me she could not sell me any of the feeders (which were in the for sale aquarium) because they only had about 12 left and had to feed their own fish with those. Today would have only been a $70 purchase, but I am a regular customer who has to drive out of my way to go there. It was very disappointing- especially for the reason given.

Small mom and pop store, with good variety of saltwater fish. Not much selection with fresh water fish when I was there. But, the staff was friendly and knowlegeable. They informed to come back next week when a new shipment of fish is scheduled to come in. Will visit again.

I had a fantastic experience at The Aquarium & Fish Store! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through the process of setting up my first aquarium. They have a wide variety of beautiful fish and a great selection of aquarium supplies. The store is clean and well-maintained, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend The Aquarium & Fish Store for all your aquarium needs!

Always have a nice selection of fish, plants and corals ( I have both freshwater and saltwater). I love being able to talk to the employees about what they recommend. They always greet me when I walk in and always ask if I need help ( which a lot of other stores don’t bother to do)

They have everything that you need for your fresh water or salt water tank. They take good care of there personal tanks with a wide variety of fish and plants. I Love spending my money here it gives me peace of mind by knowing im getting quality stuff in a well managed store.I also love the Big fish when you enter and exit the store he is super friendly and sometimes on a good day he will follow you back and forth in his tank.Thank you for the fish 🐟

Disappointed. Just moved to area from Tampa where I had a great salt water store that had taken a lot of time for me to start my tank. I asked “ excuse me, can I please have some help “ and the employee who was doing stock work said “ I am busy right now so your going to have to wait”I was able to walk around the store again and found limited fish options and the worker didn’t come back. So I walked out the front door.

Nice Saltwater store. They have quit a bit of Merchandise, corals and fish. They had some larger colonys. The workers were very nice. I didn't buy anything because I am from Indiana .

Just wow! Recently moved here from Iowa and was blown away by this place. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. I walked in just to check this place out and left with a 90g setup! This will be my go to place for all my fishy needs!

I stood in line about five minutes behind a lady who’s getting checked out, trying to purchase some salt that was placed by the counter. Another employee walked up while I was waiting with a couple buying some fish as the guy checked out the lady in front of me. Then he walked off so the next employee could ring up the other customer and left me standing there and turned around midway and asked where does the line start as if he didn’t see me standing there for five minutes. Kind of went out of my way to stop by there to get salt but it’s fine. I’ll stay over my neck of the woods.

Horrible customer service. Two ladies are very rude and condescending! We will never come to this store. This place use to be fun to go to. New owners are very rude.

My “candy” store! I’ve drove by this place a thousand times, but never had time to stop; today was my first visit.Love this place! If you have a fish/aquarium hobby, hope you have self control, because my eyes felt like they were going to pop out from all the cool stuff to browse! Very nice selection, prices are fair, and staff are super friendly and helpful! Everything was well organized, also fish and plants were very healthy! Will definitely be back!

This place is a must for anyone who keeps fresh water or saltwater fish! My family absolutely loves coming here and the fish look great and the employees are very helpful and they always take the time to answer any questions. We love that tang in the coral tub. He is like a little puppy dog!

I have mixed feelings about this place. 2-3 months ago this would have been a 5 star review. I have been purchasing fish here for about 6 months now. 3 days ago I purchased some fish to add to the aquarium. The blue tang that came was very low-energy from the get go, didn't look good. Figured maybe just bored alone in the aquarium at the store and not active. I got her home, same thing in my tank. Very low energy, laying on her side. Next day, fish is swimming sideways and upside down, anyway but correct. Clear issues with the fish - morning of the 3rd day the fish is dead. Rest of the fish in the aquarium are doing just fine.Called the aquarium before heading in - they have changed their warranty policy as of December 05 2022. Saltwater fish HAVE NO WARRANTY. Prior reviews about the store giving store credit no longer apply. BE WARNED. Out $70 because of a sick fish.The staff is always very helpful and the store itself is gorgeous. They have a really big stock. I've asked the staff lots of questions to make sure I'm doing everything right, getting second opinions, but the warranty change was a shock and I wouldn't have taken the chance on the Tang had I known the policy had changed.
