Segrest Farms

I got to go on a tour with my class! It was very fun, if a bit hot. (There was very little AC.) The guide was friendly and answered all of our questions, even if that meant asking other people when she didn't know the answer. We got to see all kinds of fish: both freshwater and marine. We got to see corals and other invertebrates, too. If you get the chance to go, do!

When Segrest was owned by Elwin Segrest, it was a great business, but since Central Pets took over, they have closed their saltwater Tampa facility and the quality of fish coming out of Atlanta is poor at best. I ordered 10 Yellow Coris Wrasses, and 6 were DOA, with three more dying in the next two days. I will be forced to buy from other vendors.

Where do I start? This place is very unprofessional. The staff is lazy and they all have very poor communication. They drug their fish and is very unsanitary. I wouldn't recommend you buy fish from this place and if you're thinking about working there then Good Luck.

After 1 order that mostly died in quarantine in the first 48 hours, I gave then a pass, but the next 2 orders had the same result so I call to ask questions . I was told they keep all their community fish in cold water (71) to avoid bacteria growth. That should tell you enough. No other supplier does this, no retail stores would do this, and no educated hobbyists would do this. I was told I would get a call back from customer service and from their “lab tech” and never received the call. Buy from them at your own risk. No longer will segrest farm fish be sold in my store.

I purchase fish at stores in the local area, and have been in the hobby for years now, so I knew of this place beforehand. It is awesome that the company and staff conduct tours of their facility and operations. It is very interesting to see the processes and how they fulfill orders. It was a great visit and experience!

Great company. Very focused not only on providing the very best live stock, but also a huge supporter of the aquarium hobby. The passion that EVERY employee shows in their daily routines make it apparent why this is a five star company. Great fish...even better people. Love'em!

A high quality supplier Segrest Farms and their staff have been invaluable in helping Stocking Savvy source fish, invertebrates, and plants for habitat restoration and research into ichthyology and ecology. Anyone purchasing from them will be swimming in good fish purchases!

My wife and I showed up unannounced late one afternoon and we're very graciously given a tour that lasted about 1 and 1/2 hours. We expected to see breeding programs and grow out of the livestock. That was not the case. They appeared to be buyers / importers of tropical fish and livestock worldwide. The livestock is shipped in and then shipped out as quickly as possible. Understanding their operation and all of the distribution problems they deal with make you appreciate the price that you pay for your tropical fish.

We ordered Bettas from here, I can not begin to describe how unimpressed I was. They put each beta in a tiny bag, smaller then my fist. My hands are pretty small. If I were to guess, there was 1-2 tablespoons of water in each, and some were extremely dirty. When we got them into bigger spaces, they were swimming around looking really happy. This makes me wonder what conditions they're kept in in the farm itself.

Also owned by Central Pet & garden, This was once a great distributor until it was bought by central and they installed an evil regime to run it. if you want to know more about the quality just look up SunPet (their) sister store)ltd and check out the reviews. Now segrest is just as bad. The guy who is over it all is Steve Hughes who is solely responsible for all the sick animals from sunpet as well as the videos of the lady bashing the guinea pig to death b/c it was returned from a store. If you complain or return animals then they blacklist you and cancel your accounts at both places. This is Central Pets dirty little secret. If it werent for the big money of Central neither of these places would still exist. Ask anyone who owns a shop!!! Steve Hughes would be better perhaps running a carwash instead of overseeing livestock. He could care or less!!!!

Only thing this place is good for is learning about new parasites. The fish we have ordered repeatedly come in diseased and with lesions, leading one to wonder what kind of conditions these animals are kept in at the farm.

Our elementary students took a tour at Segrest! The guide was very knowledgeable and patient. Definitely recommend a visit here for students of all ages.

Wouldn't count on them If the world was ending and the last resource was farm raised fish from these people. Half your orders won't come in alive. Or they will be missing critical parts of the order. Then if you try to beat the system and order half boxes of the stuff you actually need the sales people will make it literal hell to order.

I have used this company for a few years for my pet store. Very good quality and price.

If you like sick unhealthy fish then this is the spot to buy from. You can learn a lot about fish diseases just by ordering every week. Not even worth a star!

A wonderful place to visit. Even if you are not a tropical fish hobbyist, the tour will amaze you. Bring your friends, they will thank you.

Segrest Farms is a really cool place to take a tour, in the tour you will learn a lot about how fish get to the pet stores where you buy them .

If you need a fish for your tank and can't find one you looking for, see these folks. Need a reptile or food for it. Empire of Fish
