I love this place. The staff is always down to talk tanks, fish, and plants and they have a great selection, especially of fish and plants. If you’re looking for gear or hardscape, this isn’t the right place. But if you want a crazy selection of fish and plants, definitely checkout Something Fishy. I focus on planted tanks and they have a huge selection. They even have some local varieties sometimes. If I wasn’t banned from buying more plants by my partner, I would be there right now. Hell, I might go anyway…

First visit and it was absolutely amazing. The guy working there (I forgot his name!) was so knowledgeable and pleasant. The fish are clearly cared for and healthy, and well worth the price compared to sickly $1.50 goldfish you’ll get at a chain pet store. I got my baby Oranda there and she’s the love of my life!!!! Can’t wait to go back!

The experience at the store is incredible. All of the employees that I have seen working there have been very knowledgeable and helpful and every fish and snail I have bought there have been and are still doing great! I highly recommend this place.

100% my go-to fish store. When I first started my rapidly growing fish hobby I stopped in here, since it was the closest one to my house. I came in here mostly to pick their brain and learn more one on one from people who know best, but not only was I greeted with great knowledge I was also greeted with great hospitality and excitement about the hobby. I started only going here for fish, not just because of the people that work there, but also because of their quality of fish. Everything is so healthy, and even if there is a single fish in their tank that is sick they take care of it right away. I highly recommend coming here, seriously. Stephen, one of the employees, is one of the coolest guys I’ve ever met and he is an all around great dude.If you are looking for fish or even interested in just taking a look at fish…come here, no exaggeration. 10/10

somethingFISHY is my favorite place for fish and plants. Owner and staff make my hour drive worth it every time. Not just the normal selections, but unique and interesting species, too. Employee loyalty and enthusiasm easily elevate this aquarium store above the chains. Not to mention clean tanks and healthy fish. Some staff members call themselves fish [and plant] geeks. 😊

Just had an amazing experience at somethingFISHY! This aquarium fish shop is an absolute gem. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, providing top-notch customer service. They have an impressive variety of fish species, and their tanks are clean and well-maintained. The entire shopping process was a breeze, and I left feeling confident in the health and quality of the fish I purchased. If you're a fish enthusiast like me, somethingFISHY is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Maybe I just visited at a bad time but I was not impressed. Variety was lacking, no one asked me if I needed help, and the prices are a bit high. The fish did look healthy, and tanks well maintained.

Nice fish! Very clean and well maintained tanks. Love the guppies and rainbow fish I purchased as well!Also, I’d like to mention the young lady helping me on Saturday Nov 18. I mentioned a struggle I had with my goldfish and after a lengthy conversation, I took her advice bought some items and upgraded to higher filtration. Magic! Within a couple of days I had zero issues with my water!It’s nice to find someone who takes the time to listen and help correct tank issues! Thank you.

Loved the store! The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful about the freshwater fish, snails, and plant we were buying, and even answered a couple of questions we had about how to maintain a saltwater tank. Will definitely come back next time.

Fantastic store with great quality fish and knowledgeable employees. Love this place (pics and videos are of fish I have in my tank from them, not of their tanks)

My daughter and I went there Saturday. Had another great experience. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten some fish for my community tank. Jacob’s knowledge was incredible and he helped us pick out some fish based on my tank size and wants. I’ve been in The hobby for a long time and he taught me a lot of new stuff. This place is clean, bigger than before, and a great local fish store experience!

Seriously, my fave aquarium store. The quality of their plants and fish are far above any other store in CFL I have walked into. I have a very happy crayfish named Chowder. The staff is always friendly and helpful but never pushy, which is appreciated.

Family owned "somethingFISHY" is sooooooo much better quality fish and plants compared to any of the chain pet stores.We were able to get some established filter media (the ceramic rocks)which are gonna have a lot of already established bacteria that will help us speed up our cycling process.

Came from Auburn, Al to visit and talked with Stephen extremely knowledgeable. Awesome place to just look around and enjoy the atmosphere. And a really awesome place to purchase or your hobby.

My wife and I have a fresh water aquarium and we frequently come to SomethingFISHY for fish plants or advice. We had a Cyanobacteria bloom happening and the owner of something fishy knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it.Their fish always look happy and healthy and the plants always thrive in our aquarium. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We live in Umatilla but choose to make the drive . Well worth it!

One of the best fish stores in the Orlando area (if not the best). Just a few things that caught my attention, first of all, their fishes are very healthy and you can tell that their tanks are in great condition. On the same day I went to their store, I also bought fish from two other stores, during quarantine time none of their fish died, while I had a few losses from the fish from the other stores. A huge factor in this is that when Steve was picking up the fish, not only was he very careful and patient (which is already great not to hurt the fish), but also he was selecting the best-looking and healthiest fish. I saw when he caught one that was not the best option, he released it and went for a better one.I'm definitely going back.

Really nice store. Great selection of freshwater fish and plants, and all the tanks look very well kept. I’ll be back for sure

Probably the best fish store I've been in, they are incredibly informative and know what they're doing; don't go to your local petsmart, go here and get healthy fish!

Love the variety of corals for saltwater tanks and plants for freshwater tanks. Prices are very reasonable . Will definitely make the 2hr. ride again to get things. The owner was very friendly .

I had a similar experience to Antonio. I walked in and the employee was helping the customer. That’s fine, but we were not greeted or asked if we need help in the 10 mins we were there, so we left. I understand making your sale is important but it would also be helpful to learn how to multitask. Also one of the tanks had a huge dead fish floating at the top. Nasty

What a nice local fish store! Went for the first time last week to pick up a few small schooling fish for our ten gallon. My six year old came with me and was in awe at the store. We spent about thirty minutes just looking at everything and never felt rushed or pressured to make a purchase. The young man assisting in the store was really sweet my my kid, explaining what he was doing and why. All the fish appeared healthy and energetic. There was a good variety for both fresh and saltwater, including some really novel species I'd not seen before. We ended up leaving with 4 lemon tetra ($3/each) and some free duckweed, and we didn't lose a single fish after introducing them to our tank at home (big box purchases have always had at least one loss overnight). I look forward to coming back in the future for all our fishy needs.

Great place for fish and also great selection of plants for freshwater Aquariums. I was amazed with how healthy the fish look here. Been here twice this week and will definitely come back even if I have to drive over 30 mins to get there.

They are super friendly and helpful! We live 30 minutes away but regularly come because for the quality of fish and all of the cool fish they have! They offer great deals and care for their fish really well! 5/5 any day of the week.

These guys are excellent! I come in here all the time. They're friendly and knowledgeable about fresh and saltwater. My favorite LFS in Orlando!

Haven’t been to this location for a few months until today. Went in for a very simple purchase of more seachem Prime and frozen foods but when I entered the only employee was busy helping a customer. Totally fine and I kept myself busy looking at the various displays before standing by the counter. I was not spoken to once or told that I would be helped shortly.The employee continued talking to the customer for OVER 15 minutes, showing photos from their phone etc. while I stood by the front. The employee looked at me standing by the front multiple times without acknowledging me. Another employee who was sweeping saw me on more than one occasion standing by the front desk and also did nothing. After waiting over 20 minutes for a very simple purchase I decided to leave. Disappointing to see such poor service at an otherwise awesome and friendly location.

I’m from New Jersey & every time I come to Florida I stop in to pick out fish. Something Fishy has a great staff and knowledgeable and always has a great selection of good quality fish & a very clean store. .I wish I could bring back a lot more on the plane ride then I can hold. It’s Definitely one of my favorite stores. I wish I could stop in every Saturday, but I guess I can though the website. So I rate this store ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The staff helped my son get set up with his first betta fish. Will definitely return to this store when we need anything.

So far this is one of my favorite aquarium shops in all of Central Florida. The shop is gorgeous and I would say they probably have the biggest selection of freshwater fish around. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They are also extremely honest, which I appreciate. I was going to buy a batch of one species and the guy said that batch wasn't doing well and wouldn't sell it to me. I wound up still getting the same amount of fish just different species. I am new to the hobby and I have been visiting a lot of aquarium shops. I have one other favorite but they are more for supplies than fish. These guys have tons of fish to choose from.
