I drove to 5 other fish stores hunting down a Fancy Betta and Exotic Aquatic by FAR had the best selection! Extremely helpful! Great little set up! If you’re looking for the exotic multi color Bettas look no further!!

What a waste of time … we went to the shop today to pick up 5 or 6 items and some fish. When we got there there was only one employee on the floor and a few customers waiting. I actually felt sorry for the guy because one particular customer he was attending to was really needy to say the least.We waited there for half an hour, as we were waiting more customers arrived, finally another employee shows up … he didn’t even bother asking “who’s next”, he just pick someone (who was one of the last people to come in the store), and started helping them leaving the rest of us slack jawed.I drove from Weston to the store because they had everything i needed, and the fish I wanted … yeah won’t be making that mistake again!!

This is one of a few of my local pet shops that I love to visit. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and they definitely know their stuff. I often come in with the intention of just buying a few things and always leave with more than what I came for.😂😂. Nice place to just browse around with the kiddos a bit also. I also had a few issues with several of my fish and after talking with the guys, I left with some great medicine that treated my water and medicated my fish. After several days my fish were fine. Thanks Exotic Aquatics fit the insight and patience to deal with fish lovers who have 💯 questions!!These guys love Exotic Aquatic as well 🐠 🐟

Love this place, very helpful. My wife and I walked into an opportunity to have a Salt water tank and want reliable advise and direction to get our new hobby rolling. The people here are very pleasant and attentive, We couldn’t ask for a better learning experience! Highly recommend

I almost gave it 3 stars because they had a fish other stores didn't have. I waited 10 mins for the guy to acknowledge me because he was changing water so I was trying to let him finish. He acted annoyed, put the fish in the bag, ignored my excitement completely and checked me out. I thought it was a one off but after several more visits realized the trend was the same. Nobody said hi, nobody asked how we can be helped, nobody knew anything and gave wrong answers. The worst thing is realizing I overpaid for something by 6x the amount recently. My fault for not doing the research. I'm all for supporting small owned stores and will pay a little extra to do so but 6 times normal value everywhere else is insane. Never again.

I’ve been to at least a half dozen LFS in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area within the last 10 or so months. After giving the other places an honest try, I find myself coming back here as the quality of livestock and corals is reliably high. I’ve yet to have an issue with anything I’ve bought here which is both shocking and impressive. Shoutout to Albert for being a powerhouse of great info, keeping the shop in good shape, and getting his hands on solid fish/corals.

I’ve been buying fish here for nearly a decade; they moved locations a few years ago and their new store is absolutely beautiful, clean, and inviting. They have a decent saltwater stock, but the fish are usually on the smaller side and they rarely get larger fish in stock, but I can guarantee that any fish you buy there will be healthy.

I searched for a while for some rare African cichlids from lake tanganyika and came across Exotic Aquatic online and gave them a call . While not in stock Rob was able to place an order on the weekend and my fish were here in 2 days . They arrived healthy and beautiful and I was happily greeted and any questions I had were answered with expert advice . I definitely will be back for another order . Very nice clean store , a must see in South Florida !

Nice fresh and saltwater selection. This includes some less common species. The mudskippers were cool to see up close. The mini freshwater Indian puffers were interesting. Fish and livestock appeared healthy. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would like to see more of a freshwater plant selection, as the better looking plants seemed to be in the display tanks.

Great store and even better customer service. Everyone has an abundance of knowledge. Highly recommend Rob and his team. Also they always have a great selection of fish and supplies. Beats big box stores all day long.

I purchased a fish from this store, acclimated it to my tank and all seemed to be fine. 1 day later, I notice white spots on the fish and now it has spread to my other fish. I’m not sure what’s going on in this store or if they even quarantine the fish before they sell them because 1 fish from this store infected my whole tank. I’m truly devastated. They have a nice selection but if you get a fish from here beware.

They get some decent fish that seem to be healthy never had a fish die from here. But their corals on other hand i would stay away from. They have a serious bryopsis issue that came in on a frag that spread to my display tank and basically beeen fighting this for a long time and lost over $4000 of corals due to it

It's hard for me to justify going anywhere else for my aquarium supplies because of how awesome this place is. Rob, Albert and all of the staff are very helpful, patient, and they definitely go above and beyond expectations. They have a great variety of coral, live rocks, fish, equipment, tanks, etc. Best part is if they don't have it in stock they'll likely find it for you or at the minimum point you in the right direction. They have quickly become my family's go to aquarium supply store and I appreciate their professionalism. Definitely recommend them and would argue that they are the best aquarium supply store in Broward County hands down.

I stopped in on a Sunday looking for a specific type of corydoras, which they didn't have but offered to add to their next order for me. By Wednesday, they had gotten them in! Everyone there is really friendly and helpful (including the cat!), and all their tanks look great with a nice variety of healthy fish. I'm new to the area and really excited to have a place like this nearby--will definitely be back again as I slowly stock my tank.

Small place. Thought there would be more fish options and supplies. Tanks were cloudy and seen bunch of dead fish. I ended up not buying from this place. Maybe will try again in future.

Exotic Aquatics was amazing! So many fish options and a friendly staff. The young man that helped me was very informative and nice and definitely made me want to go back. My new starfish and puffer are happy and healthy.

Great place. Knowledgeable staff. Great selection of aquatic plants. Has freshwater fish I can’t find anywhere else in south Florida, and a wide selection. Saltwater selection is awesome as well, and has absolutely beautiful anemones. +100 points for the awesome freshwater aquascape’s throughout the store.

Place was awesome, staff is very helpful and informative. They really know their stuff. They had a new guy on his first day and he did great. Will definitely make this my new home for my salt water tank needs. Very decently priced compared to all other stores I have been.

These guys are great! As a purveyor of freshwater fish, I love a trip to this wonderland. The people who work there are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, as well. They will give you the solution, or combination of solutions, you need to make your tank really thrive. Heck, they'll even sell you the right kind of water. This is more important for saltwater tanks, however, they also have fresh water.As a store that focuses only on aquariums, you get the personalized, specialized attention that you need. The big box chains cannot provide that.I love these guys, and I highly recommend Exotic Aquatic for anyone with fishy friends.
