A really great place and I got some really cool coral from here. Reasonable prices and beautiful fish etc. Thanks for all the help!Update 2 months later and my corals are doing great! My zoas are multiplying and I came back to get more from here. The people were just as nice and knowledgeable as before. Thanks so much!

Not sure how to feel about this place. I called in to see availability on a blue hippo tang and after being told they had one. Arrived at the store and fish seemed to be fine until it was put in the bag . Hopefully it doesn’t die as it was a $150 fish .

The service here is unmatched. I am a local and let me tell you, the service they provide goes above and beyond. They have taken care of me in many ways I never thought my LFS could do for me! If you care about respect and service then this is the place for you!

Staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Like the selection of corals and prices seem competitive. Also seem to have pretty good selection of used equipment, which I really appreciate.

What an amazing store & amazing experience! This owner is incredible. Not only did we determine what we wanted to purchase, but the owner took the time to give the kids all kinds of fun education. Recommend this place, hands down!!

Betta seems to be in good shape. Please don't restrict these little guys in anything less than 5 gallon tank. Don't be afraid to buy the little less attractive ones, with the proper set up and diet they thrive and their color drastically improves as did mine.

This is one of the coolest stores in Oconee. Jimmy is knowledgeable and so kind. My kids love seeing him and hearing about the beautiful fish. They have great affordable fish and set-ups as well as the the rare fish and exotic set-ups. Great service!

This really is a Classic place for aquariums. Everything appears to set up with an environment that is definitely fish friendly. The young man who assisted us was very knowledgeable and answered our all of our questions. Easy to get to and find what you need. No comparison to Big Box stores.

Amazing service by Cale, he spent a lot of time with us answering all of our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable for a young man in the hobby. This store is very lucky to have such a dedicated employee who really cares about the customer experience.

Stopped by today and Jimmy hooked me up with some nice coral and some great deals, even gave me a Father's Day deal that he did not have to.Walked out with a few fish, freshwater and saltwater and corals. This is my third time in the store, will be back in the future.I have been impressed with the coral frag selection each time. Lots of items i do not have yet! Colors from oranges, too reds, too purples and blues.Check them out... Do it.

My husband and I love this store! The employees and owners are so welcoming and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of salt water fish and corals. We live about 45 mins away and enjoy taking the trip because we know we’ll get a beautiful fish for a great price. We signed up for their weekly newsletter so that we can stay up to date with new inventory.

We visited for the first time on 5/26/2019–Sunday. The store is gorgeous. The tanks are remarkably clean and pest free. The frags are generous and reasonably priced. We found some real gems! The gentleman who helped us was knowledgeable, friendly and spent a large amount of time with us. I could not have been more impressed. They work really hard and it shows. We will be back and soon!!

The store was very clean and neat. The tanks were all clean and the fish were healthy looking. The prices were not bad at all. The best part was the owner. He was friendly and honest. He was such a big help and had lots of knowledge on the hobby. We will definitely be going back there for the supplies we need to start up a salt water tank.

Great spot for aquarium items with an emphasis on saltwater. I drive here a few times a year from Atlanta for the deals. There are a handful of really good spots closer but this store has a great selection of corals. That's what makes it worth the trip in my opinion - excellent price and even better selection of different Coral species. They also appear to have a good selection of fish and inverts but I'm there for the corals and don't pay too much attention.

Mainly deals with Salt Water, but has some fresh water, great selection of Bettas from a Local Breeder I am told. Employees very knowledgeable and extremely nice. Answered most of my questions and was helpful. Enjoyed the layout, cleanliness, and fresh "salt water" smell. Had a great selection of Corals and some fish I hadn't seen in other nearby aquarium stores. This store takes pride in what they do, you can clearly tell by the care they have of the store, the fish, and of their customers. Will be back for sure!

i bought a snail and hermit crabs from this establishment and it killed all my fish in the tank i put them in. i loved my clownfishes and purple reef lobster. me and the owner talked on the phone and he told me to come to the store and show him the videos of my tank. i got there and showed the videos and brought a water sample as requested. With the water test coming back good he still denied that his animals brought calamity to my aquarium and pretty much made me waste my gas coming down here.dont shop they will not help you plus there is disease in their tanks.

As soon as you walk in you're blown away. It doesn't look like your typical nasty, warehouse looking fish store. I usually spend a lot of time there just because the place is awesome and Jimmie and Robert are pleasant. They have amazon fish and coral. I mean every week there are so many different new fish that I've never seen before. It's just incredible.

Walked in ready to spend some money. I just got a huge tank and needed some fish and other items. Right away not a single acknowledgment or hello and was talking to someone about a app. I understood they might be busy gave them a minute or two waiting in line and still nothing. Finally just walked out feeling as if they couldn’t even care we were in there.

Just added a 2nd tank to our home and thought we would give it a shot.... (not to many salt water stores around) Robert was amazing... his customer service impressed me... helped load our water even though he had a store full of customers... his knowledge was exceptional and prices are very fair and competitive! We will be back and will do more business here!

Jimmy and Robert helped me with my first tank. I had wanted fish since I was a kid! They made it easy and fun. They’re prices are also the best in town, and they have by far the best selection of fish, especially salt water. These guys are my go to LFS!!

Love this place! I have a 38 gallon Cichlid tank and this is the perfect place to get Cichlids. All the fish are taken great care of and are as healthy as they could be. The owner and his employees are really helpful and knowledgeable. The tanks have nice effects and are so clear. The fish are obviously happy and they will answer you questions about anything fish related. At other places their employes will say “I don’t know” or “I can call someone over if you would like?” but here all the employes are good with what they do and will give it to you straight. I would definitely recommend this place to beginners or pros in the fishkeeping hobby!
