I recently discovered Mike Aquatics and let me start off by saying thank God!!Staff is super friendly and VERY helpful. I had just purchased 6 Pea Puffers from Petco and when they arrived they were infested with parasites and sadly, died 2 days later. With a little searching, I found Mike's, and to my surprise, they also had Pea Puffers. I took the hour ride there, and I'm so glad I did. I ended up buying 6 puffers from them, and you could tell how healthy they were. They were all plump with rounded bellies. All puffers settled in nicely and are eating like champs. My only complaint is the little boogers only eat live foods, but that's no one's fault. Peas are known to be picky eaters, but that's OK, Mike's sells live foods too. Long story short, it's an amazing local shop that I've come to love, and I think you will too!

Full service aquatic and reptile shop with helpful friendly, and knowledgeable employees. Fish Mike has everything... every aquarium supply imaginable, pond supplies, aquarium plants, every underwater and above water creature you could ever want - both freshwater and saltwater, houseplants, pond plants, food (fresh, dried, and frozen), water treatment, plant fertilizer, and the list goes on. The quality is unbelievable. Every tank in the shop is immaculate and stocked with healthy animals. Just a great place to shop or just browse. Employees are friendly and very knowledgeable. And they even offer in-home/business aquarium/outdoor pond set up and maintenance. A local gem! It's all at 45 Blaine Street in Manchester; right off the highway near downtown.

Lovely little hidden gem tucked into an extremely unassuming side road. While not in the best part of town or in a nice building, Fish Mike Aquatics is very well kept inside and has a good variety of fish and reptiles. All the tanks are clean, the fish are healthy and active, and they have a humane betta fish section with tanks of filtered dripping water instead of those stale cups you find at pet stores. Sully was extremely knowledgeable about the care of the creatures and helped us with choosing some isopods for our terrarium. Great experience overall, I hope they can move to a better location someday.

Awesome local fish store. They have really great fish in stock. Always a good variety from common to more rare species. Healthy tanks and helpful employees!

I went into your store for the first time on Thursday, and we were so in love with it we went back Friday! Your store is amazing and so isn’t your customer service! The two young girls working were excellent! (I believe Heidi and I missed the other girls name, she was new) They were so patient and helpful with all of our questions! We look forward to doing all of our saltwater shopping with you!

Nice little store with a great selection of fish and all of them look healthy! I got 4 kulli loaches to add to my group and all were healthy and look great!

I used to come here a couple of years ago and forgot the exact name of the place so I looked it up. I haven't been able to get back down in the area but I'm extremely looking forward to it when I finally can again and am glad I figured out now what exactly this store was called. I moved and in the situation I couldn't take either of my tanks and I can't wait to get back into it. This place was truly awesome

I visited the store from my car during the pandemic because I am high risk and am socially distancing. I ordered 2 bettas, a bunch of corydoras, and some other random supplies. I was nervous about having someone else pick out my fish for me, but I could not be happier. My fish are all beautiful and healthy. Fish Mike’s will be my go to store going forward.

Fantastic owner, fantastic staff, fantastic shop. These folks give good, solid advice - even if it means they aren't going to make a sale. They speak to my kids like they assume they can understand a bit of complexity and generally make us feel welcome and appreciated. I'm happy to drive 30 minutes to Manchester to purchase here rather than drive 10 minutes to Petco or PetSmart any day.

Nice store with excellent selection of foods and chemicals/treatments. Livestock is really healthy looking and the options are very nice. The shrimp inventory and selection is a breath of fresh air. Most places simply do not seem to work super hard to keep shrimp in stock or offer variety. Fish Mike’s does both. Staff I worked with got the job done but could benefit from additional training. Owner is clearly invested in positive outcomes for the customer which puts this shop in a good position for a sustainable future.

The place is small and very filled with fish supplies for PET FISH. This is NOT a bait and tackle store as Google suggested to me. The place is nice though and they have lots of stuff for pets (fish, birds and reptiles).

I have been going to Fish Mike Aquatics for several years. Staff is always knowledgeable and the store is Grade A+Stock here is superior quality to the box stores and there are some real deals! I have recommended Fish Mike to anyone I can the whole time I have been going there. Awesome aqua-scape material in stock, healthy critters, full rack of plants, and a large selection of just about whatever you may need for reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and insects at this store. Those 'in the know,' shop at Fish Mike 😉 from my experience. You shop with a different class of clientele here.Mike has rare isopods and pink springtails in stock. I have gotten a couple great deals on tanks when they are on sale. I feel everyone there is considerate about the critters' well beings and are particularly skilled at caring for them. It takes both 🙏I definitely recommend stopping in and perusing Fish Mike Aquatics, even if it is just to get a feel for the shop. I shop here pretty much exclusive AND all the time. I know a thing or two about fish at this point and I have only heard sound advice given from everyone here to their customers.Staff has of course always been helpful to me whenever I had any questions (which I have). With the Internet, you can find half-a-dozen contradictory answers to a fish/reptile/amphibian related question and I have found it a real benefit to be able to ask for advice from real people here.Pet stores are usually such a drag. It is a superb treat to have such an amazingly high-quality boutique store that you can feel positive about patronizing. Check it out for real 💯

Wow what a breathe of fresh air in the pet store world. Every single animal in there was happy with life. My fiance and I have been around to every single exotic fish and reptile store in the area and there is only a few I can say I have ever felt comfortable enough giving my money to. I say this because of the quality of care for their animals. But fish mikes... wow. All the tanks were clean, they all had food and water and they were genuinely cared for by knowledable staff that actually cared! They were even dusting around the store as we were there. Truly amazing. Now to the staff themselves, the one gentleman we worked with was a whole dictionary of information and it was amazing. I learned so many new things and he helped us pick out the perfect items for their pea puffers that I couldn't say no to! Biggest round of applause to these guys for their amazing store and staff. I will not be going anywhere else, thank you guys so much for being great people who really love what they do. It truly made the experience unforgettable.

Great experience at Fish Mikes aquatics shop. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand ready to answer any questions you may have! Bought a few salt water fish here and very happy with what we got and the service provided. Although one of our fish did die the next day, Owner made it right immediately with a more than fair deal (even though he didn’t have to) refunding me to get another salt water fish. Great customer service and will definitely be a returning customer in the future thank you Fish Mikes!

The workers at this place are amazing they're very knowledgeable not only in the fish but the aquarium plants. I had decided to make an aquascape and my husband wanted to add fish so they were very patient with us and understanding that we ask a lot of questions LOL. (The purple plant is the only thing that's fake in my aquarium)

There is a reason this place has 5-star ratings. They are the best in the state as far as I am concerned. I will gladly drive the 1.5 hours to go here. Not only can you find some of the more rare species here, but Its also refreshing to go to a place where the staff are friendly and know their stuff. They also have a beautiful Conure that is their instore bird that always cracks me up.

The service is awesome and their knowledge of the water world is so vast. I only go to Mike's fish to supply and maintain my tanks. Top notch!!

Absolutely awesome store/business. Staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. There was a wide array of products including of course fish and fish related but also amphibians and reptiles. But I think the biggest surprise for me was their indoor plant selection! Definitely was not expecting that- place is a hidden gem for sure and I will definitely be frequenting it often. 10/10!

I just needed a few tetras for my nano tank but I was impressed at how well things were taken care of. My fish are doing great so far and a coworker also told me they’ve been going there and love it. I’ll definitely be going back when I make my next jump up in tank size. Good job folks!

Every fish I buy from here dies. Then get told bring them back with a water sample. Well tank was cleaned 1 week ago and every other fish is totally fine. Wasted hundreds of dollars on salt water fish just for them to diem I'm not rude so I won't give you a 1* because as a small business owner I understand there are things that happen and can't be prevented. Wish they would just give a credit or new fish without the hassle.
