I took a long drive for another visit to this shop looking for some plecos and a few other aquarium items. The first time I stopped here I was pleasantly surprised with the health of the fish and the store in general. They were in the midst of expanding their shop two doors down, so things were understandably a little chaotic. Unfortunately this time I was kind of shocked by the conditions the fish were in. Lacking color, signs of bacterial/fungal issues—which shied me away from making any fish purchases. I saw some bettas that were in a cup on the counter and took a peek— ugh. Looking terrible and sad— one was kept in a small bowl, no heater or filtration. Very disappointing.Then I ventured to the new ‘reptile store’ they have opened. Lots of good supplies but sorry looking animals for sale. Staff wasn’t the friendliest, at least the guy behind the counter. He seemed miffed to stop what he was working on to help.Sorry, but I won’t be returning.

They are amazing! I’ve bought so many fish from this small business, and I must say they are all about quality! They keep just about every tank spotless fish seem very happy and pretty much no floaters! I’ve recently bought a flounder from them and I love it, it’s happy and healthy. The owner and his mother-in-law are always short to crack you up with a joke and the other employees are always happy to help with questions or requests. Overall very pleasant experience even just to go check out what they have is like visiting an aquarium as they are never short of something cool and different! Absolute 10/10

The customer service is OUTSTANDING!The associate instantly welcomed my 3 kids and I with a tour of the whole shop and fed the fish for us to watch! Super cool and over the top kind of them. Store is clean and reptiles/fish are happy and healthy.The owner personally answered my questions and invited the kids to hold his rare reptiles! He even showed them his “dinosaur eggs.” They are very passionate, knowledgeable, patient and beyond friendly.They have every fish type and supplies you could hope for in your aquarium and they offer an experience you can't find in your chain-type pet stores. 10/10 THANK YOU

I went there after spending over an hour waiting for help at Petco and googled this aquarium place and off I went. My granddaughter got a fish tank for Christmas and I don't know the first things about what to do. Walked into his store and was greeted immediately and explained what I needed and he was more than happy to help. ( Even when I changed my mind numerous times) I will definitely be going back and sending my friends there. Thank you for all your help.

They were awesome! The owner is cool and he actually owns the reptile store next door also. I needed a replacement bulb for my turtle tank that nobody carries and when ordered online it comes broken. They had ton of them on hand and it's local business. Def go here

Owner was nice, got 3 types of fish unfortunately the tetras all passed away the next day in tested water. So looks like 1 batch out of the 3 weren't good.

Nice little fish store with good service and reasonable prices. I’ve bought a quite a few fish and corals from them now and all have been pest free, healthy and thriving. As a matter of fact I’ve been there 3 times, looked in every tank, and haven’t seen a dead fish yet, the place is a little small, and it seems like they’re still getting settled in there but every time I go there they have added more stuff and they have a good enough selection for now. I’m looking forward to seeing them grow and get even better especially in the reef and planted tank selection. Definitely my new LFS!

Very friendly and knowledgeable owners over 30 yrs experience. Good variety of freshwater and salt water fish with some unique twists. Convenient and no hassles. Used to purchase from Absolutely Fish which is generally crowded, over priced and 20 min away but no more! Only critiques would be limited plant selection and location is a tight fit with all the equipment and supplies however I was told they will be moving to a larger location soon just down the street so can't wait to see the changes they have in mind!

i Drive 30 minutes out of my way past other fish stores because if the exceptional selection and knowledgeable service. i get fish there nobody else has, they are always healthy and J.J. and Eric always are happy to spend the time with me to go over how to best care for all of the different types of fish i take home. This is the place you want to go.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Although I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for due to Covid messing up shipments, I was shown a comparable fish which turned out to be even cooler. They were even pleasant and answered questions that I had when I called later on.

Amazing selection of very well cared for fish and reptiles. Reasonably priced and highly knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be back for more supplies (and probably a few new pets).

I Bought a top for fish tank was billed 118 $ Twice I called to complain . the sales person Eric acted like an emotional female who whined to the owner jj I called to many times he sided with Eric and barred me from the store. All I did was go in and spend money. They charged me twice and Eric got upset and thought I called him a thief The quality of the Water maybe average. Stock is low in my opinion quality of livestock poor at best most merchandise Is out dated marine live stock looks like it’s on its last leg The Store is dirty dingy and disgusting think twice before you ad his live stock to your tank

Back in August 2019 I purchased some zebra Danios. Unlike other pet stores the fish made it home alive and thrived despite my lack of experience. Anytime I have bought fish elsewhere Petco, Petsmart, there is always a certain amount that do not make it into the tank (belly up in the bag on the way home!). Aquariums by JJ is just as far from me or further than these other stores. I also purchased plants which are still doing well from this store. Though I knew little about the Nitrogen cycle back when I first bought the fish, the owner prevented me from making a huge mistake of purchasing greater quantities of fish thus my first fish were able to weather the cycle and live. Thank you!

Bought a very nice Flowerhorn here. The prices are very reasonable. The tanks are pristine and fish look very healthy. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great little find!

Went to this store for the first time today. JJ was super nice and super helpful. Prices were very reasonable and I will be going back for sure. Highly recommended. I don’t normally do reviews but I had such a good experience I decided this warranted a review.

Everyone at the store is very knowledgeable about fish and reptiles. They have a great selection and are easy to get to! Jay helped get my Ball Pythons eating again after 6 months.

I just called this store to ask about my puffer fish... and this guy gave me SO much attitude and wasn't even nice he was so rude i had to get off of the phone right away. All i did was ask if they kept their puffer fish in freshwater or brackish water! He said I was ¨not listening¨ when he wasn't even answering my question! I´ve called this store twice and the first time the lady was so nice and helpful but this time he was mean and rude..... and i still don´t have my question answered! (im still going to buy my fish from here because the reviews were good and it is close... but the person on the phone was so nasty and arrogant)

Supposed to open at 10AM this morning. Got there from lower Wayne at 11:05. Hand printed sign on door stated weekend hours 12 noon - 6PM. Really aggravated me that they didn't fix hours on their internet site.From now on it's Absolutely Fish on 46 in Clifton.

Very clean tanks, good selection for a smaller store. Very good prices on fish and merchandise. Workers are very friendly. I used to shop and absolutely fish and fish hut. Absolutely fish is over priced and fish hut is full of very sick fish. Will be returning to JJ.
