Who knew the hub for all things saltwater and Aquatic for home aquariums would be not only on display here but the center of beginner and very serious salt water aficionados. The knowledge stored in this shop between Tiffany and Kevin is unfathomable, no pun intended. If salt water aquariums are a curiosity or a passion, you owe it to yourself to visit.

Excellent customer service they had a lot of saltwater fish. All fish looked healthy, and overall, a great place to buy saltwater animals

Went by yesterday with my wife and we loved it! Owner is very nice and knowledgeable, he also had some great corals for a great price! And there’s a cute dog inside here as well !

Very selective selection because they take GREAT care of their fish. I bought my Electric Jack Dempsey here and they would tell you if they’re not well or if you’re tank is not ready for them. Very friendly and extremely patient, and I personally like that. They also custom build tanks and help move tanks. Did I mention they have awesome costumer service? I’ve had to deal with impatient fish store owners when I started my aquarium hobby so these guys are refreshing. Great store clean all around.

My husband and I love this store. We have been going here for more than 15 years. The quality of the fish cannot be beat. We’ve never gotten a sick fish and all of our fish are still alive and well. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and has helped us pick out several new additions to our aquarium.

I helped to friends get into the saltwater hobby and honestly I find this place shameful they pretend that they know what they're doing and they will show you anything to make the sale even it's not compatible with your particular tank after using the tank cleaning service had multiple problems and deaths in the tankp we got a large tank and I noticed that the chiller was missing luckily it was not my own personal tank but I feel really bad seeing my friend being completely taken advantage of they're just out for the sale nothing more their prices are way too expensive and not that knowledgeable to novice may have that appearance but someone that's been in the hobby for years and years and years and knows BS when he hears it I'm sorry I can't recommend this store my friend. My friend was totally taking advantage of of my recommendation is to stay away from the store take your business elsewhere

Definitely recommend paying this hidden gem a visit. Definitely no corners cut on quality or safety at this place so if you’re looking for cheap marine life , this business isn’t for you! But if you’re looking for quality, this is definitely a “GO TO” spot! I’m bummed I didn’t come sooner, but I’ll be heading back today for more coral !!! Sincerely, a satisfied customer !

Very bad customer service. I had to say hello how are you just to get the lady to talk to me. She just look at me with a disgusting look on her face. Wasn’t interested in helping me or offering help either. Odd smell and could be clearer but has some pretty fish inside.

I guess asking a question about the fish was rude. Me and my bf were just there to get more anemones and super surprised to learn none of it was for sale? Why are there prices then? The dog was super friendly and sweet as if they were trying to make up for how rude the lady was.

The owners are so incredibly nice and well informed on everything about setting up a marine tank, which is what we went in for. Totally worth the drive from the other side of Houston where we live. Will be back for sure. Thank you so much for taking the time to go through everything we needed and all our questions. God bless y’all❤️

As others have said it is only a salt water store.It is very nicely maintained with a nice selection of fish and corals. I didn't see anything that looked unhealthy.I'm new to the hobby and asked the owner a few questions. I got very little in response beyond "what is your budget?" When I told him I was trying to get some basic information he told me he'd need to know my budget. It felt as if he wanted to know the amount I was willing to spend before answering anything. I told him I had a 50 gal tank already and he still just wanted to sell me a tank, and didn't want to help with someone new to saltwater.I won't be going back.

Like others have said they deal with saltwater,I went into the store seeking knowledge and live rock and I found both. The store is setup very well you can find a lot of fish, coral etc.I've seen several comments that they are rude but when I went to the store I didn't have any problems with Kevin or his wife they are both very knowledgeable and have helped me out a lot with me starting up my first saltwater tank.Not once have they been rude and if you get offended about someone answering and phone that's ridiculous have some patients and they will help you. I highly recommend this place!

Great customers serviceKevin would customize your aquarium needs. It's only a place in town offers customized fish tanks to go with whatever you have in your home or office.House call service is extremely fast and reliable. Highly recommended.

Other than buying Saltwater already mix and RO water to top off,that’s everything this store can offer. If you planning on buying fish and corals your best bet is going to a different store unless you got Cash on you and don’t mind paying 20-30% more than other store pricesCheck out FJW off 290 and Mangum my friend Dennis will hook you up.!

A special kind of jerk. All about money, not the hobby, if you aren't dropping some serious cheese on merchandise then forget it. Only go here if you want to buy fish and coral and already know what you're doing. I have been in the hobby for over a decade now and have NEVER gotten such a cold shoulder from a 'mom and pop' establishment, which i (try) to support over the big chains. The only reason this man got two stars from me is that the quality of fish and coral are acceptable enough. I guess my pockets didn't look deep enough for his time. I love nothing more than sharing knowledge with people and them sharing back, that's what it's supposed to be about in this hobby. But nah, not here; most likely you're not worth their time. Also supplies are pricy and very limited. So much for the customer experience.

Awesome experience in this store. Kevin and Tiffany were great . They answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. I decided to get a salt water aquarium due to the fact of them helping me in every step of the way with my tank. Thank you Kevin and Tiffany .

After experiencing bad luck with buying a fish tank stand online I was in need of a stand quick not only did they have a nice stand the quality of stand was just as good as the quality of customer service that he and his wife gave me not only did they sell me a solid wood not particleboard stand he went above and beyond and stained it the color I was looking for I had no idea that when I came to pickup the stand that he would be staining it and that to me was the Tre meaning of customer service!!!!!! Thanks again all about fish .

Incredibly rude staff. We were the only ones in the store and they refused to acknowledge us. Most of the tanks were empty and what they did have didn’t look very good. So disappointing. You’re better off driving to AquaZoo in Webster, where the employee are friendly and the fish are always healthy.

Good customer service. Knowledgeable staff. Selection limited by current difficulties importing from other countries. They carry mostly saltwater but also freshwater, especially cichlids.

Excellent selection of saltwater fish,inverts and corals. Clean and neat store! Downfall is very pricy if you dont look like you have money to the owner he will not ask for assistance you have to talk to him and still his responses are limited unless your going to buy alot. City pets on beechnut is resonable prices compared here and better customer service. Rating two stars due to the awful customer service and outrageous prices.

Customer service is lacking. The worker just kept following us around like a car salesman. there were little to no fish in the store, they seem to deal mainly with coral and hardly any accessories. I've seen cleaner stores and I've seen dirtier stores. Probably wont be going back.

Everytime i pass through Houston, i always stop by All about fish just to look. Kevin and Tiffany are very nice people. And kevin knows everything about these exotic fishes! He even built his own tank and water filtration system!!!!

Today I went by to see about buying a tank..unfortunately...I felt there was no spirit in selling me the tank..because, all this lady told me was that "I have a business to run" and even though she was slightly helpful. Her knowledge on fishes was terrible...for example your telling me the only starter fish is "Nemos (clownfish)" and yellow tangs??? There has to be more to that??? Not to mention she showed me a light and said "that's way to experience for you" your telling me that, why??? you can't even tell me more then two starter fish....I pray that when I return...that they be way more equipped with knowledge then tell me "we have a business to run"

Was in there for thirty minutes and had to disturb the cashier to get service, no prices are marked and I had to ask for a price on everything. I felt like I was annoying them. Great location, it could be so much better.

Customer service is non-existent. The guy seemed mad I was asking questions and then literally walked away and sat down at the register and acted like I wasn't there. The message was loud and clear that he was done answering questions and wanted me to leave, so I did.

Pretty disappointing.Theres hardly anything inside this store.Just two decent sized display tanks and a bunch of tanks with rather tiny fish.Coral selection is xenia and leather....saw one hammer and brain. Nothing especial.

It needs to be noted that this is a saltwater only store. I just needed to pick up some solution to dechlorinate the water and misc items and they didn't even have that. Also, the worker was on the phone with a personal call and didn't bother to help or stop her call to help.
