Popped in to check out the store when visiting Rochester. I was blown away. Some of the best selections of marine creatures I've ever seen. So many beautiful corals in all shapes, sizes and colors. The owner was super helpful and made the experience even better. The tanks were so clean and beautiful. I only with I lived closer.

I purchased a small reef-in-a-jar and I am very pleased with it! This is a cool product. The customer service was excellent, and the store was clean.

I absolutely love the smell of this place. I know that's weird to say :) but it's so clean and organized (unlike some fish places, the floor is wet, you can't find anyone to help, etc). I went in yesterday for some springtails for my geicko enclosure, and I got immediate help, suggestions, and great conversation about animals and what would be good to use for my little friends. Would definitely recommend a look!

Very nice marine fish store. Wife and I stopped in on our way back home to Ohio. Definitely a good selection and clean store. Hydros units in stock along with hydros accessories. All the fish looked super healthy and a decently large selection of inverts and corals. We will definitely stop again next time we are in the area.

Caribbean Forest has been my go to LFS for over two years. They provide excellent care to their animals and set the standard in the area for what a LFS should be. They stock a variety of additives, equipment and other items such as rock and substrate you’d need to maintain a healthy reef tank. The staff have always been kind and courteous!

This is the best all around saltwater aquarium shop that I have been to. They really do have everything. The tanks are really clean and they have a huge selection of corals in all different price ranges which I appreciated. They have a ton of beginner corals which many shops seem to skip out on to some degree. They also have a great selection of higher end stuff. I thought the prices were fair overall, and better than some other shops in the area. The owner was really helpful as well. I will definitely be returning. They even have reptiles upstairs!

Great fish store, huge selection of fish and coral and even better dry goods. Love this store and love the female owner. She always goes out of her way to inform me and teach me about new things about the hobby. She’s is always so nice and a prime example of a hard working business owner. Jason is a lot of help too and has a endless amount of knowledge about the hobby.

This place is fantastic, definitely the best aquarium store I have ever visited. All the tanks were gorgeous and so well kept. The reptile room is also awesome, some really beautiful animals and setups. Friendly and helpful staff too. Will be going back for sure!

I have been to every reef shop there is in upstate New York from Rochester to buffalo and Jason and his team at Caribbean forest by far have the cleanest and organized reef shop, I drive an hour out of the way and have for the last 3 years. They have the upmost professionalism when it comes to customer service! If you have any questions about the hobby or need help in any way they will be more than willing to guide you onto the right path. Overall an outstanding shop!

Went here for the first time today with my husband who has been a couple times. Millie was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. She is also very knowledgeable about everything in their store. We will continue to give them our business!

Jason and Millie are fantastic. I have always wanted a saltwater tank but was afraid that I wouldn't be able to manage one. About one year ago this month they hooked me up with an evo 13.5 gallon tank and walked me through everything from live rock selection, cycling, when to add fish and which fish would be happy in my tank. They helped me pick and purchase additional accessories and maintenance supplies. My tank is flourishing with awesome corals and all my original fish! Thank you guys so much for helping me succeed with saltwater!!!

Amazing experience. Just starting out reefing though its a Nano (13.5) have been great in helping me understand the chemistry. Have yet to buy any corals from them but already have some ideas..looking forward to giving them my buisness. The owners are great and don't talk down to customers as I have experienced at other shops (freshwater). Overall the past 2 visit have been great. Already excited for our next visit as we won't be leaving without a coral.

Great shop for saltwater fish and corals. Helpful staff when needed. They let you browse around at your pace and are ready to help when asked. Stock a bunch of fish and corals, various supplies and test kits. Will do custom orders if needed. My go-to show in Rochester.

Caribbean forest has been in business for 20+ years. They have the best selection of fish and hard goods in the Rochester area. I purchased my first tank set up from them 14 years ago when I got into the hobby. The staff is friendly and full of knowledge. You can't go wrong checking them out.

This is the best saltwater shop in Monroe County. The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly and will take the time to answer your questions. They have a diverse supply of fish, corals, and inverts and if they don't have it, they can probably order it for you. They sell equipment, tanks, live rock, and RODI water. Can't recommend them enough.

As far as saltwater coral and fish stores go this place is top notch. We traveled over a hour away to try this place out and I'll tell you something, we will be back for sure. Clean tanks beautiful fish and corals just a treat. Take a drive and visit a place worth your money and time.
