The entire staff is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, and don't mind if you hang around for a little bit and watch rays swim around.I was able to buy a good-sized plecco for my 35-gallon tank. They even told me some helpful things to put in the tank in case he ran out of algae to eat. So far, my tank is nice and clean!

I'm relatively new to the fish hobby and head over heels obsessed. I was so excited to find this store so close to home, because while box stores can be convenient for prices they aren't the greatest for information, learning and getting quality fish. We got 7 guppies and they are thriving! Can't wait to go stock our newest 29G tank in a few weeks!

Very organized and clean store. You can spend a good bit of time just looking at the fish and coral as well as the healthy established saltwater tanks on display. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great experience here and will be returning for all my fish tank needs

J.T. was so incredibly helpful. He knew fact after fact about every fish we asked about, and ones we didn't. He gave us tips to make our tank life thrive. The most informative person we have spoken with about our tank. He genuinely cares about his fish.

If any shop deserves 5 stars it is this one. Knowledgeable and kind workers who genuinely share your passion and fantastic selection for the building size. I've been to a lot of specialty aquarium shops and I have never been to one that had such healthy and thriving tanks. When I am not at aquatica I wish I was at aquatica!

I've had an aquarium for a decade, and a pond for more, so believe me when I say that this store is where you want to buy fish. Although I own two freshwater tanks and they sell mostly saltwater, I still rely on this place for finding new friends. They take care of their tanks, dont leave dead fish in the tanks like Petco, and advise you on multiple aspects of taking care of your fish. The place is so cool I go around and look at the fish like I'm in the Atlanta's aquarium. They also sell coral, and driftwood. Although they are quite expensive, its quality. I would highly recommend going here if you're looking to buy fish.

I’ve bought shrimp from them in the last and they’ve done nothing but thrive. This has easily become my “fish store” and I will continue to go to them for future visits.

The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable! They have been so helpful and supportive as we have delved into setting up our first saltwater tanks. Visiting the store to get supplies and ask questions has become the highlight of our week. Good vibes all around.

Bought my axolotl there on accident. I went in to buy cherry shrimp after another area fish store held shrimp for me and after I drove an hour they had sold them. I already had an axolotl and knew how they should be cared for. I was so surprised to see that they did not have them on substrate (which is correct) and we're keeping their tank cool like it should be. They have fluffy gills (which shows a lot about health sometimes). They also had them reasonably priced, Alot of stores will over price them due to how uncommon they are seen in fish stores (probably bc their care is a little difficult). I think my only complaint is that their were multiple axolotls in the tank which can cause issues bc they are solitary animals and can be cannibalistic. The one I bought had a gill that look like it was nipped at. He healed super quick. I was very impressed with their store layout, their friendly and knowledgeable staff and they level of care standards.

Super awesome staff here. Mainly deal with Ryan and Kate, but everyone is awesome and knowledgeable. Great stock on saltwater and a really nice variety on freshwater. They have almost anything you can find in the chain stores but still find the rarer species and supplies that you won’t normally see. Highly recommend stopping in and seeing what they have.

I need more reasons to come back here. Store itself is very clean, nicely laid out. Had everything I wanted, at HALF the price than what it would’ve been online, and the staff were really friendly!

The live freshwater plant variety isn't very large but they have several harder to find fish such as puffers and loaches.
