Our favorite store.. everyone working here are very friendly and very helpful. Prices are very good and have a great selection of fish and corals. Anything you need they have or will be more than glad to get them in for you. The owner spent time with me when I had a problem with my tank. He didn’t try to rush me so he could get to his very busy schedule he was on. I was very impressed and his answers were very honest. Keep up the great work guys. Thanks Mike and Heather…

Today I had a great experience at Nemo's reef In Indian trail North Carolina The staff there was very patient with all my questions and gave me great information. Truly appreciate when someone takes the time to answer the questions that I have especially because I am new to this hobby. I need as much info as possible. Max is the person that helped me today he was of great help and extremely knowledgeable he suggested that I get two clowns to start with for my first editions in my 180 gallon salt water tank.I highly recommend people stop by and check out what they have to offer.The store is set up nicely and they also have a wide variety of fish and corals and a multitude of aquarium products check them out. I will be a return customer in the future.

This is the best store that I have found in the state of North Carolina. We drive 2 1/2 hours to get to this location because of the quality of the fish and the coral as well as the staff that is so cordial and helpful anyone looking for quality, marine fish and vertebrates or coral are missing out. If you do not come to this location, Nemos is the number one aquatic store in my opinion.

Came to Nemo Fish in Indian Trail for fish for our kids & Max could not have helped us more! Super thorough & patient as we were looking for clown fish for our kids.

So I was a first timer to the store looking to continue my salt water journey. All of the staff was friendly and knowledgeable especially NOAH.There were even times where I watched the staff go to customers left and right to see if they needed anything opposed to waiting g to be called on.They will certainly continue to earn my business.Edit: So after my first interaction in the store there was a mix up (no fault to anyone). But what I was more impressed with is the fact outside of Chris doing his diligence as a manager, how quickly and rapidly they were able to rectify the situation. Not once did they want to point blame. Another surprising fact is that all of the employee staff that was present was there attempting to remedy the situation.All I can say is thank you to Chris, Eric, Noah, and Charles. You guys are all the reasons why someone would want to continue to allow you to earn their business You have certainly earned mine as a lifer. Thank you again.

I recommend not ordering online. They don't respond to emails so I had to call them during their business hours. They told me the shipping cost is actually 3x the price listed on their website and couldn't give me a clear answer when I asked why the listed price on their website did not reflect this. I told them to cancel my order.

The owners do a great job with this place. Fresh livestock, fish, inverts, and corals are always available. I shopped there on 2/2 and got great deals on 3 corals. Even bought some mini-colonies, which I've never seen for sale before. Highly recommended as a place to shop, or even just consult for advice on your tank.

I've been here a few times now and they never disappoint. As soon as I'm inside there's always at least one employee ready to offer assistance or advice. I've bought fish, inverts, corals, and salt water. Everything has been healthy and this is now one of my go-to places for anything I need for my reef tank.

My husband Victor has been going to them for years for both our aquariums and they’re awesome! They always have such a wide variety of fish and everyone is so helpful!! If you’re looking for anything for your tank I recommend you go see them!

Incredibly friendly staff, and everyone works to keep the ship sailing smooth. Reasonably priced coral frags, fish and equipment. I have not lost one fish or coral yet that was purchased from here. The sales teams have been instrumental in helping me build an amazing reef tank. I Absolutely recommend Nemo's Reef.

A Spectacular Experience with Nemo’s Reef: More Than Just a Fish Store!From the moment we decided to dive into the captivating world of aquariums, Nemo’s Reef has been an invaluable companion. As a family-owned business, they’ve truly gone above and beyond to make us feel like part of their family. For anyone stepping into the realm of aquatic, the wealth of knowledge and support Nemo’s Reef offers is unparalleled.Our journey began with a vision for a fish tank for a space in our home. Not only did Nemo’s Reef provide a thorough quote, but their attention to detail and commitment to satisfaction shone through when they rectified a minor oversight by adding extra, high-quality items to our build at no additional cost. This gesture was more than just an apology; it was a testament to their integrity and customer-first approach.The personal touch doesn’t stop there. From day one, the team made an effort to understand our unique preferences and needs, offering their personal contact numbers for any questions or emergencies. Each visit to their store feels like a warm reunion – even including the pleasure of meeting the owners’ parents, further solidifying that feeling of family.One instance truly highlighted their exceptional service: as newcomers to fishkeeping, we encountered an emergency due to a mistake we made. Without hesitation, Nemo’s Reef sent someone to our rescue on the same day. This swift and effective response was not just a huge relief but also underscored the genuine care and support they extend to their aquarium family.Beyond the exceptional service and genuine care, what drives us to embark on a 45-minute journey to their store is the undeniable quality, knowledge, and professionalism Nemo’s Reef brings to the Charlotte area. Their dedication to supporting customers, combined with a commitment to excellence, makes every mile traveled well worth it.For those looking to support local and family-owned businesses, Nemo’s Reef is a shining example. Their ability to blend professional expertise with a personal touch has not only made our fishkeeping journey a joy but has also enriched our lives with a vibrant aquatic world. If you’re in or around Charlotte and dreaming of your own underwater oasis, look no further than Nemo’s Reef.

Oh goodness where to begin I live far away from any local fish store. Everything is two hours in every direction but these guys as far away as they were there for me they answered every question. The installation was amazing. They were efficient the product they delivered was beyond expectation. It’s only been a week and I’m already planning a second tank everything about this company is amazing I was never treated rudely in the 57 times I called initially (ha ha) asking questions. These folks are the real deal I just want to thank again Kevin, Chris, Matt, Ben, Max and the others. Thank you so much I love my tank.

Nemo’s Reef is simply an awesome aquarium shop! Staff are knowledgeable, helpful and super prompt! I’ve been a customer since they were at Sardis Rd North and Monroe rd in Charlotte. Had an aquarium drilled so I could use my existing sump when my 150 gallon sprung a catastrophic leak. They had it done in no time knowing my African Cichlids were treading water. Painted the back black for me too. So happy with the service and fair pricing. Shout out to Chris. Merry Christmas new friend! I didn’t lose a single fish in the swap out 👍👍😉

I've been keeping my aquarium for 4 years thanks to the quality of this place. Great service, clean and organized, always with a variety of fish, food and everything you need to set up your aquarium. At first I didn't know how to care, and I received all the guidance to keep my fish in a clean and healthy environment. I recommend it to everyone!

Great staff, awesome coral and fish at very competitive prices! Great variety of high end coral but also great selection of small frags to make the dollar stretch a bit further.

Great customer service! Randy took the time to explain the necessary process, types of fish that can go/commune together in the tank, how to care for my new tank, and was very patient with me asking all of my “newbie@ questions.Very pleased!

We got a wrong filter size that was sold to us. But thanks to the diligent employees listening to our explanation of what happened we did receive a refund. And we’re explained the differences and the best choices for a filter and differences in filters . Thank you Nemo’s Reef.
