Nice little fish store. Has a good variety of fish, both fresh and salt water. Also had a pretty big selection of nice coral, more than I've seen in a lot of other fish stores. Staff seemed very knowledgeable and helpful when I had specific questions about different types of fish. Prices are very reasonable and appreciated the stickers on the tanks being current with what's actuality in the tank and their prices. They had a fair warranty, if the fish died, bring it back in with a sample of your tanks water, and as long as it's not toxic, they'd swap it out for you, I can appreciate that. Would definitely swing by again next time I'm in the area!

Awesome location for fresh and saltwater alike. This was recommended to us, so we made a bit of a drive to this store and were very pleased we did.Freshwater tanks are clean, filled with happy fish and we purchased some plants that are doing great! Saltwater tanks are pristine and filled with happy corals. Very impressed with the dry supply of products also. From whole setups to chemicals and everything in between.Cannot wait to come back to this store!

I love this place! One of my go to aquarium stores when I need something for my tanks. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and they always have a good variety of livestock. Recently went for plants for two of my Betta tanks and they're beautiful!!My bettas love the plants!

I've been going here for years and every time I go in this store the staff is amazing!! They are knowledgeable and helpful. You will NEVER get service and expertise like this at the over produced PetSmart etc. The man that helped us today had so much to share about his own aquarium and his personal fishing stories. I live on the river and it was great to share experiences. Walked out with a smile 😊

Great first experience here! Kristen was very informative in helping us choose shrimp and a snail for our freshwater tank. I learned a lot from her! Thank you!

I’m not an aquarium person (I’d kind if like to be but I have too many time-consuming hobbies as it is) but this is the only place I can get the right size and quality of river stones for my bonsai pots and 100+ succulents (like I said above 😅). The staff are excellent: friendly, as far as I’m able to discern very knowledgeable, and just good people. Highly recommend.

Very good selection for a relatively small building. They have sections where you can buy tanks, specific types of rock, live plants, fake plants, saltwater fish, live coral, freshwater fish, betta fish, axolotls, tadpoles, dwarf frogs, and reptiles.I personally came home with some gold dust mollies and a pictus catfish which have successfully integrated with the rest of my tank. Overall a great variety of fish to choose from!

Called the day before, asked about availability of 2 sw critters. Drove there the next day and got there 20min after they open to be told "oh we don't have any of those, maybe wensday."

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! In an online world it’s nice to shop local with competitive pricing, and if they don’t have it they’ll order it for you. Awesome experience with Billy!

They are extremely knowledgeable about all of their fish species 🐟🐠 they will talk to you for however long you need and never seem to get impatient. There is one woman who I try to avoid because she makes me feel stupid whenever I ask questions. But I love this place and will NEVER stop going!

Like most retail there are some great people. I have only had one negative situation at the store. The prices appear on par for a lfs. The reason I continue to goto them is for advice and their experience. They have always been helpful as I started a saltwater tank which truly earned my return as a customer.

Didn't actually buy anything this time, but an associate was able to help me start planning for a new tank. He helped me specify an animal, tank size, filtration, population, and habitat material, as well as an estimate of the total cost. They seem to know their stuff and have a wide variety of plants, animals, and equipment on hand!

Beautiful set up and fish selection but when we went to have our water tested yesterday , one of the young employees was extremely rude to us. We could tell we were an inconvenience to her so not sure if we will be back.

I have been going to the aquarium world, as well as many of my family members, for many years. Nothing but top quality, knowledgeable and kind employees. That is until it got a new owner. Now you can guarantee rude and impatient employees. Aquatic animals are sick with parasites. On a positive note, the variety of fish is more unique than any other pet store around. The products they sell are the best choices for ponds, aquariums (salt and freshwater), and reptiles. The cost is pretty reasonable and the variety is decent as well. They also sell great aquariums and enclosures. The new owner has recently upgraded the reptile enclosure for the reptiles that are sold here.

Every employee in this place is very friendly and knowledgeable. The aquariums are clean and the fish are vibrant and healthy. I am heading back to buy a second Betta to keep in my office at work.

They have reasonably priced fish and a large assortment! Honestly, if an aquarium store has Axolotyls and they look healthy, I know they are a reputable store. I restocked one of my tanks with their fish and I am so happy with them. I would definitely recommend this store and will continue shopping.

Amazing! I brought home a betta fish today after not having owned one since childhood. They took time to answer all my questions regarding fish care and setting up the tank. Kirby and I appreciate y’all ☺️

I love this store ❤ Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Locally owned and operated. Don't shop the big box stores! Buy local! Update - I haven't been here in a couple of years due to heath reasons, as I sold all of my aquatics and fish. Now that I am ready to get back to raising some shrimp and created a community tank, I am in here almost daily. They have really done some amazing upgrades and the standard of quality has stayed the same. If you're new to the aquatic world or are a experienced aquarium aficionado, you belong here!

Good selection of reptile and fish accessories. Kits and various items are in very good condition with a very good price point. Staff knows about reptiles and can answer most questions.

A good selection. But the treatment of the Beta fish here is saddening. I’d thought since they are a speciality fish store they’d know how to properly care for beta unlike normal pet stores, but I was wrong. One little cup per fish isn’t enough. Half if not more looked sick and on their way to death.

Be careful when buying fish most of the time when I’ve got fish there they have been sick I have just lost my whole tank. I got neon Tetris had ich I expected to lose a few but it seems to be a problem when I get them at this store.

The owner is really nice and some of the staff really seems to know their facts and are super polite. But when you walk in and your told the store manager Cole doesn’t like you and starts rumors about a returning customer, how can you be expected to go back? Several times he’s been incredibly rude and demeaning when we go in and at one point when we walked in he stated “no no I don’t have time for you today”. We live an hour away. We like the selection and prices are nice. But will never return due to the store managers behavior. Yesterday was the final straw when we were informed that he started rumors and issues with several customers because he didn’t want to deal with them, only to hear it being confirmed from his own mouth. Completely unprofessional. And don’t bother placing any special orders because he removes them for whoever he doesn’t like.
