The condition of the turtle tank and a couple of others was enough for me to not want to come back here. I feel so bad for these turtles. Overstocked, disgusting water. The dry dock part was big enough for maybe one of them to get up there but it was so crowded none of them seemed to be able to. Store is dirty anyway. Owner isn’t super friendly.

I’d give zero stars if I could mix this guy has an attitude problem, and is never punctual. Don’t do business with this child.

Very nice guy that is very knowledgeable about everything related to fish. If your looking for a professional go here not pet smart!!!! He shared very interesting information about everything I needed to know to properly take care of the fish and what they like. If I could give 100 stars I would because this is the best fish place to go to! Thank you for being so helpful!

Today was my first time visiting this location and I must say I was very surprised by the variety of fish that he had. It had a very homey feel to it which is lacking in most big chain pet stores. The owner was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable! I would definitely go back.

What a cool little shop. So nice to not have to drive 10 miles out of the neighborhood for the little odds and ends that always seem to come up for my turtle tank.Nice inventory of new and gently used items. And it’s been a big help to have somewhere to take a fish or two that didn’t want to play nice with everyone else.

Found him on social media, tried to ask questions and he completely disregarded me. Thought that maybe it was because a lot of ppl message him with ridiculous requests so I let it go. Tried to go to the store to see his fish tanks. Called to see if he was open on a Thursday at 3:30, told me he was “running out and won’t be back till 5. to bad try again.” Horrible business mindset, was going to try and buy a 75 gallon tank. Will be going to someone else that cares about there customers.

I was kicked out for asking about gold fish. I had never been to the store before. He made me feel low and horrible. He told me to my face that I would never be one of his customers. Worst part about it is I really liked his tank and was interested in learning. I grew with fish my father loved them and I had fish tanks all my life with all type of fish NOT just goldfish. I will never recommend him to anyone

Sold him a 37 gal and a 90 gal plus filters, lights stands, decorations, heaters for 150$ and he told me that the 37 gal wouldn't hold water because of a broken center brace and then claims the 90 gal didn't hold water and I have never had any leaks. He gave me a 1 star review on letgo before even talking to me and then blocked me when all I said was why would u leave a bad review before speaking to me. He got a crazy good deal and is selling for double and still left me a bad review. Don't give this guy any business.

So far my interaction with him has been fantastic. I'm looking for an upgrade for my bearded dragon and called to see if he had what I needed. When I told him what I had already he immediately realized I'd need at least a 75 gallon for a permanent upgrade. I hope he can find one form me!

Looking for a great deal but also knowledge that goes with it. This place right here is great. Buying a fish or a fish tank or a turtle tank for that matter this is where you want to be, the guy is very knowledgeable and give you great service, he's honest and polite, you won't go wrong coming here in buying a fish or a tank with a hole set up.

He tried to intimidate me with a gun in his waist..Told me not to come back because he doesn't like dealing with black people because we complain too much.. I would not recommend this store to any one.......

I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with him about fish and tanks. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. A very nice and personable guy. If he doesn't have what you are looking for, he will recommend where you may find it. I am a grateful customer.

The Fish Tank Guy is a very untrustworthy character. On ebay he will win the bid of your item and find some obscure reason to bully you into a partial refund. Acts like such a nice guy in person but then will try to scam you. I recommend avoiding this business.

The tanks are leaky and very amateur repair. these are tanks FROM SOMEONE's TRASH. i tried to sell some real tanks unrepaired good factory tanks to this place and it was rejected. the only tanks in there are a disaster waiting to happen. i bought a filter from there and it worked for 3 days.your sorting through someone elses trash. buy NEW it last longer especially if you have a salt water setup. im guessing a salt water hobbiest would not purchase there anyway.

Don’t try to communicate he disregards you very quickly and can be quite rude. I’m guessing just go into the store and hope that he’s there.

Horrible person to do business with. Stay far away! Does not respect your time and will try to rip you off. Buyer Beware!

Pretty rude. Tried to sell my 60 gallon tank with the stand and lights and he only offered 100 bucks....I guess customer service isn't important
