Dropped by while waiting for my windshield to get replaced. This place was very cool and looking at all the fish was awesome.The staff were very kind and answered our questions, even though we didn't plan on buying anything.I don't know much about fish or aquariums, but these guys seem really cool :)

Great spot to get fish, I haven’t gotten any coral yet but It looks good. The store is smaller but they pack tons into it and I find something new every time I visit. Definitely worth checking out, be sure to take a peek at their awesome inverts!! Update, corals are hardy and they will even frag on the spot if you ask! Got an awesome chalice for a great price.

This store is hands down the most communal and welcoming reef shop I’ve been to. The team of Terry, Tewsley, and Bret are always there to give the best advice for each of my setups, what fish will work, what won't, and what I can do to give the fish/corals the best chance of doing well. Terry’s vast knowledge of corals has helped me turn my corals around when they feel like turning into brown goo. Tewsley always encourages me to get the fish that will do well in my system and gives me her professional advice on what to do when introducing them to the tank, or when they inevitably have problems. Bret is a friendly down-to-earth knowledgeable man who is always open to chatting about new ideas of what I could do with my tanks, and what will probably end in catastrophe. They aim to make sure you don’t come back with a broken heart and an itch for new critters. Every time I’ve wanted to run out the door with a new fish they give me a great breakdown of what I can do to give it the best time in my aquarium. In no other fish shop have I felt more welcome than here.

Honestly, this store is a great little store, with a huge passion for corals and fish.I recently bought an established 40 gallon AOI cube reef tank from a coworker, and it needed some TLC. I knew that he had bought a hot pink bubble tip anemone from Woody's after he bought the tank, some 3 years ago, so I got curious and decided to check them out. I'm really glad I did! Since then I have picked up some of my favorite tank members from them, and I'm working on putting together a custom 35 gallon AOI cube reef tank that I plan on stocking with fish and coral from Woody's Seahorse Aquarium & Supply. From unique invertebrates to fish with big personality, they've got what you need. Just check out my tank!Here's my list of stock from Woody's Seahorse Aquarium, and when I set up my 35 gallon symbiote cube, it will grow even more!7 Sexy shrimp2 Bubble tip Anemones4 Rock Flower Anemones1 Cleaner Shrimp1 Marble Star -Jawdropping color, and this guy scavenges all around my glass and rock, carefully lifting up his legs to avoid trampling corals in his path1 Porcelain Anemone Crab2 Trochus Snails2 Astrea Turbo Snails2 Cerith Snails1 Scarlet Hermit Crab3 Common Hermit Crabs (can't remember name exaclty haha)1 small Bird's Nest SPS Coral frag1 Fungia Plate LPS Coral -in my top five favorites for sure!2 Ricordea Yuma Mushroom Corals -One of which has doubled in size since I bought it about a month ago2 Ricordea Florida Mushroom Corals1 Colony of Sunny D Zoas -Began with 7 polyps a month ago and is growing 3 more1 Colony of Rainbow Hornet Zoas-Began with 11, now 12 after a few weeks1 Colony of Pikachu Zoas-picked up today, 5 polyps1 Colony of Utter chaos Zoas-picked up today, 3 large polyps

Healthy looking livestock. The yellow clown gobie was eating right away and corals opened up within an hour of being placed in my tank

Tery and Tusely are fantastic and very friendly and knowledgeable! they've got great selection of corals, fish and equipment, and if they don't have it they're generally able to order it for you.They really took the time to answer all of my questions when I got my first reef tank. They do get busy sometimes and if you're needing some explanation or more in depth info, they may have to pause the conversation to help another customer real quick, but always come back to make sure you're questions are indeed answered!

We started our first nano saltwater aquarium and the people here are so friendly and helpful. Even though the building looks a little rough the quality of fish and coral is amazing.

Really lovely, very knowledgeable owners in an intimate (garage) setting, some beautiful fish and more seahorses than you'll ever see in one place. Prices are very reasonable.

Amazing place! We were staying at an Airbnb across the street and wandered into it on our walk on our first day. The woman who owned it (Tulley?) gave us amazing recommendations for the city and everything she recommended was perfect. Must visit if you’re in the area!

I hate to give this place 3 stars. It's an awesome store with a great selection of corals and fish. They probably have the best selection of equipment and dry goods in Portland, which is crazy considering how small the place is.Despite all the great stuff they have, one of the owners is not very friendly. After one bad experience a couple of years ago, I was determined to try again, thinking it was possibly a bad day. I've gone 3 or 4 times since then and every time has been mostly the same. The woman is amazing... She will remember your name after like 2 visits which is a really friendly gesture. You can tell she truly cares about the customers and the fish she takes care of. The man on the other hand seems annoyed at every question you ask or comment you make. Every time I've gone here, the guy has made me feel like I shouldn't ask questions or try to have a conversation about aquariums/corals/whatever. making me feel fairly unwelcome. The reefkeeping hobby is HARD. The last thing someone wants, especially someone new to the hobby, is to feel afraid to ask questions.I never visited when Woody owned the place, but from all I've heard, he was passionate and friendly about reefing which I tend to believe, from reviews and the fact that his daughter (the woman above) is also that way. Its unfortunate that only half the shop still feels/acts that way. So yeah, that's why I can't give them 5 stars. I hope the guy can figure his stuff out... I'd really love to keep giving these guys my business but I can't justify it anymore. If you want a friendly environment with really well taken care of corals, cuttlefish is the best alternative in Portland.

It's a garage that has been turned into a saltwater fish store. It's one of the coolest set ups I have ever seen. It's pretty small but somehow still has the best selection of fish and coral in the Portland area. And the customer service is unmatched. They are super knowledgeable and friendly and I feel like they genuinely want to help. Definitely my favorite saltwater place to go to. I live about 45 minutes away but it's worth the drive.

Absolutely superb knowledge and loyalty. We appreciate those who treat the customer with the utmost respect and show appreciation towards our purchase and support.. however it's not often we see the store or owners any respect or concerns towards their live animals or wellbeing. This business and the two helping me whom I think are owners absolutely do. They explained the importance of giving the right environment for their fish and when doing aquarium of this type requires patience and persistence as well as consistent accuracy. Thank you for being trustworthy and I will definitely be coming back as a loyal customer

It’s not often that you feel compelled to leaving a 5 star review for a place you haven’t actually been to... Woody’s Seahorse is one of the many aquarium stores I contacted to source an unusually large aquarium for a peculiar project. Terry helped me find a few options outside the box of custom made 4 and 5 digit $$$ acrylic tanks. He didn’t even try to sell me anything, he simply listened, understood and we brainstormed options. After some digging around, he was able to suggest a couple relevant options that fit our project quite well. He was also available for follow up questions all because he’s just interested, passionate about the topic and is simply a helpful soul.Just based on the level of customer service I received for this project, I have no reservations recommending this store for all your aquarium needs!

Woody's is great! Terry and Tewsley are friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Their prices are fair, their corals are gorgeous, and their fish are well cared for. We feel so fortunate to have them as a go-to resource for our saltwater tank needs. It's a small shop (covid precautions allow 4 people at a time) so expect a wait if they are busy.

I have not been to Woody's since about 2013 or so. Visited the shop over the weekend that Woody's daughter and Terry are still running and I love it! Very nice fish, corals, attitudes and prices! Chromis are half the cost of everywhere else in town, cheaper test kits than anywhere else...and super selection..glad to see Woody's legacy being kept up so well. I'll be back!

Awesome shop tucked away in North Portland. You couldn't possibly ask for better customer service. I am just setting up my first reef tank and was overwhelmed by all the conflicting info online. I spent about 2 hours talking with these guys about everything I needed to get started from equipment, lighting and water requirements, the benefits of large vs small tanks, types of symbiotic relationships between certain species, you name it! They were extremely knowledgeable and very patient with me, and at the end of the day I walked out of there with all the equipment and knowledge I needed to get started setting things up. I will be sourcing from this shop as much as possible moving forward and I highly recommend you do the same.

Wonderful shop with exceptional customer service!!! The staff here (husband and wife) really do care about each customer individually and genuinely care how your reef is doing + how they can help. :)

I love this shop! I’ve gotten outstanding advice and Terry and his wife never tire of sharing their knowledge with me. Having just gone through ick in my reef tank taking their advice on fallowing my tank and treating my fish has given me a fresh start with a healthy tank. From here on out I will only shop for livestock at Woody’s!

The owners are a wealth of knowledge. I’m setting up my first tank and they have patiently answered my questions and offered advice from supplies to fish to get started off on the right foot. Glad to have such a great local spot to shop and support.

Just stopped in to browse, I wasn't even looking to buy, but the owners were so friendly! Very clean shop, and super welcoming. I had fun looking at all the beautiful tanks and wished I had an aquarium fan to recommend this place to.

We've been Seahorse customers for over 10 years and plan to continue to be for many more! Some of the first saltwater fish I purchased a decade ago are still alive and doing well. I'm always impressed by the selection of corals they have and the unique fish they stock. More importantly, their service is top notch and they really make you feel welcome in their store. Recently we experienced a disaster with our house due to a major water leak that required us to completely take down our 90 gallon tank. Without bating an eye, Terry and his wife took in our fish and coral temporarily while repairs were being made on our house. We now have our tank back up and running and just got our fish and coral back yesterday. They took care of our fish and coral like they were their own. We are so grateful and can't wait until our tank is mature enough to add in more coral and fish.

Love Woody's Seahorse. My wife and I enjoy the great selection of fish and coral at great prices. Terry is very knowledgeable and helps us out so much. He does not try to get us to spend money on things we don't need.
