I had an incredible experience here. It was a wee bit busy with happy customers being helped and I was greeted by lovely shop pup, Radio. The owner made sure I knew he’d be able to help me when I was ready. All my questions were answered clearly and I got alot of awesome extra information. I can’t wait to come back, thank you so so much!

Will be back, made about a forty min drive out here and was not disappointed. Everything from beginner fish to rare exotic aquatics. Good prices on fish, good variety or livestock and supplies. All the fish were healthy and curious and tanks were clean. Lots of knowledge if you have questions but the owner is nice helpful not pushy or rude. They have everything you need to get started in the hobbie or pick up supplies to feed your tank and add new livestock for your current tank. Would recommend for sure. Left with some Cory cats and a couple tetras which already are schooling up together and livening up my tank! Very happy with the quality and size of fish I got today. Worth a trip out to visit even if you’re far away. Everything from beta and tetras to cichlids and XL more aggressive fish available. Really cool display tank and lots of larger size fish which isn’t always common in many stores. And best of all they all look well care for and healthy and happy! No over crowding or illness seen like you might see in some commercial stores. Owner knows his fish and is helpful if you have questions or want advice. Right off the highway and good parking available. Thanks again!

friendly and nice however the tanks were very dirty and fish were not healthy. There were 2 dead bettas on the floor and many tanks with dead and moldy fish! Very upsetting

It's alright, none of the items besides livestock had the price marked which is never a good sign, and none of the workers had approached nor greeted me so that also turned me off. The selection wasn't as big as I had hoped either, there weren't any invertebrates or live plants. Maybe I came on a bad day, wish the workers were more approachable.

We went to this location twice both when they were suppose to be open and door is locked. One time was two hrs before closed. Very inconsistent and inconvenient.

Really well kept store with a wide variety of fish! I wish I wasn’t so far from home or I would have loved to get some fish! I got 4 snails and they’re doing great!

This is the most amazing fish store I’ve ever been too as a betta keeper, the owner is an extremely sweet man and thanks to him and all he does I was able to give my betta a second chance at life as she’s been sick for the last 2 months. I plan to go here from here on out for any of my fish related needs, I would recommend anyone else do the the same as they have a wide inventory of fish and fish care products

Dan is great! So helpful and knowledgeable!If you need something that he doesn't have in store right then, he'll try to get it in for youin a timely manner or let you know where you can find it! It's so nice to finally have a small business like his so close to home!

Its great to finally have a local fish store and it's family owned, which as local small business owner I appreciate. The owner was super helpful and friendly. The tanks are all very clean and the fish all looked healthy and well cared for.

Store was closed during posted operating hours with no indication online*edit I feel I was to harsh with the review as things happen. However, I peeked through the window while I was there and the shop seemed nice, clean, and organized. I unfortunately won’t be able to return as I was passing through on business but it definitely seems like a very nice shop regardless

Went to The Fish World today because someone on Facebook said that I could get duckweed there. What I didn’t expect to find was a great family owned, new business with excellent customer service. I left with the duckweed and a new fishy friend! 10/10 service and the store is BEAUTIFUL. Check it out yourself!

Store seems nice from everything I see online, live almost two hours away but was somewhat close and went out of my way but they were closed during posted hours. I checked the Facebook and nothing showing they’d be closed
