Awesome, well-kept store :) This is seriously the best fish store. You'll never see a dead fish in any tank. He also has a really unique variety of fish that are so pretty. It's not often you find healthy, unique, freshwater fish. He also has sooo many rare plecos that I've never seen before!

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place until now. If you want healthy incredible fish along with the best advice around, you come here. No one that I've met come close in knowledge to the other of this shop. He'll make sure to guide you through anything you need! Photo is of a Red Shoulder I got from here, one of many but love this guy

recently purchased 6 cardinal tetras, two bandit cory catfish, 5 blue shrimp and 5 red shrimp from here and this store is a hidden gem. the staff here treats all the fish very well, and genuinely cares about their treatment after being sold. the fish i brought home were clearly happy and well kept at the store, no disease being transferred to the neon tetras already in my tank. they adjusted to their new home very quickly and with no issues. any freshwater aquarium keeper in the area should give this little shop a look!

This is my go-to fish shop and I have tried many places. Dale is knowledgeable and has offered valuable advice when I needed help perking my black moor up. Always a great selection and the kids love visiting to see what he will have in stock each time.

The guy never welcomed us or asked if we needed any help mind you we were the only people in the store the whole time. We seen a couple dead fish especially a big fish that was laying in the tank taking it's lasts air gasps. My wife called him to see what kind of cichlids he had and what the price was for them and he said oh that would mean I have to go to the other side of the store what a great customer service. We love mom and pop stores but when you don't show you care don't be in the business. Also the store is not clean at all...

I came here since a kid. I bought baby piranhas from here and raised them to 10 inches. I was gonna put them in Newburgh lake when I had to move but the owner insisted to give them to him. He ended up breeding them. They have good fish sense-stock of inventory that's cool to look at or more.

My daughter and I LOVE going to Fantastic Fins. The guys here know their stuff and have a huge variety of fresh water fish. Dave is always so good to us when. We swing by on Sundays just to browse. We avoid the commercial places and support these places that truly care about the animals in their care.

Will never go anywhere else for our aquarium needs. Every time we go we spend an hour or more because every single person there loves to teach and share knowledge about fish. So many beautiful fish. They tell us what we can put together and what we can’t and help us troubleshoot when we have problems. They want everyone to succeed and they put in the labor to make it happen. Cannot possibly say enough good things - and their fish are also very good!

Large selection of fresh-water fish, love it! I spoke to a gentleman there for almost an hour. He helped me understand which fish to put with other fish in a single tank.I just bought a new home and want to add a tank. I'll be going back soon.

My families go-to destination for fish and aquatic life - thats all they do! The owner is incredibly passionate about every living creature in his shop and treats them more like his own pets rather than inventory on a shelf.

The only place to shop if you are a freshwater freak. Best pleco selection in the state that i have seen. Have been a customer for years. Dale is the man. Cares about you, your fish, and never oversells you on fish, medicine, or chemicals. If you haven't been here give it a try and I'm sure you will be back.

Dale is the nicest :) always willing to listen and help out, has amazing freshwater stock, and got me deep into my love of fishkeeping by his advice. I make dedicated trips out to see him and have friends who drive from Flint just to shop there. I've made a day of going to different fish stores and most of them aren't even close to comparable in both quality and price, not to mention how hardy the fish are. My go to place for real. And, he is able to get a wide variety of stock in!

Dale is a very knowledgeable person. I wouldn't shop for my freshwater fish or supplies anywhere else. He is always willing to help. He kept my angel fish 🐟 for over 2 weeks when my tank was down. They were in good hands. Thanks to everyone at Fantastic Fins for taking good care of us!!!

Best specialty fish store in Michigan, awesome selection of freshwater plecos as well as a variety of fish. Owner is extremely knowledgeable and passionate regarding the care and wellbeing of the fish he sells to customers. This store also has flake and pellet food for the fish which is a homemade recipe that is only sold in store, best food to feed any fish 100%!!!! Highly recommended checking it out! Reasonable and fair prices also!!

I went there recently and the staff were super nice. They had a lot of fish to choose from and were super knowledgeable about all of them. I will definitely go back when I get a chance.

Would rate 0 if i could. We just left. Terrible customer service, walked in was not greeted at all. Walked throughout the DIRTY store and wa sever asked oh looking for anything specific oh let me know if you guys need help with anything. Not to mention there was a big fish dying and most of the tanks in there were with yellow tinge. Worst service and not so good looking place

This is by far the best fish store I've ever been to. With every visit, this place continues to exceed my expectations. Great service and prices, a VAST, healthy, always changing freshwater selection, and staff that are always very knowledgeable and informative. The owners, Dale and Chris, are seasoned hobbyists that really are stand up guys that genuinely care to make sure you're satisfied and equipped with what you need to successfully keep whatever fish you're getting from them. There really is nothing but good things to say about this establishment and how they run their business. If you're in to fish, this place with out a doubt is worth checking out.

Dale is super experienced and very knowledgeable when it comes to his fish. He is more interested in helping you to make sure the fish wont die in the tank, and wants to help solve any problems with your tank! I love this place. Definitely number one fish store!

Best selection of common freshwater fish, rare species, and varieties. You'll always see something you've never seen before. Great selection of plants and saltwater. Most importantly, fish are always healthy and I've never had a bad purchase from this store. SUPER helpful staff, they've never steered me wrong. Highly recommended! Best place for fish hobbyists in SE Michigan.

One of my favorite local spots, always a great selection. Always new and interesting things to see, and if you can't find something particular, odds are they can get it. The owner Dale is one of the best out there for knowledge and a true passion for the aquarium hobby.

This store is FANTASTIC!!! All the tanks are clean and very well maintained. Best selection of fresh water fish I've found. The owner/operator is a great guy. He will help you find exactly what you're looking for and will order it if he doesn't already have it! Looking forward to my next trip soon.

I’ve kept fish for a long time but have been getting back into the hobby after a couple year hiatus. The staff and owner all seem very knowledgeable and helpful! Great stock of freshwater fish and natural decor. Fish have all been very healthy! I’ve walked through a couple other places but this is the store for me! Highly recommend checking them out!

Very nice staff and owner. Good selection of plecos and cichlids. Has some rare shrimp and unique tetras. Some driftwood. Has some of the essentials but not the best stock of chemicals or food. Freshwater only.

Well I'm not sure what to say other than I went there twice in the last two days and they weren't open. First on Sunday just after 12:00. Not open. Sign on the door indicates they should have been open. Gave em a second try Monday around 4:15, again sign says they're supposed to be open but weren't. No sign saying sorry closed for vacation or anything. Call the store and got nothing not even an answering machine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Awesome selection of freshwater fish and knowledgeable, approachable staff. My daughter lost her first fish (an eel from another store) after it escaped from her tank and she was so dejected that she didn't want a fish tank anymore. 😔 I dragged her to FF and the dude there answered all of our questions and helped her choose another eel and two Polypertus's as replacements. She loves her new fish and is 100% back into her fish tank again thanks to Fantastic Fins! We'll be back there soon.

First time visit to this store. The owner was kind and personable. I went in looking for some fun schooling fish. He said he was getting a shipment in later today... I could have come back but the Emerald Eye Rasboras caught me eye (pun intended). I will be coming back for more to add to my 30 gallon.
