Nice store. They have both fresh and salt water selections. They do need to pick up their Discus game. Maybe a local breeder will help. But all in all, a good store.

I like this fish shop. They have salt and freshwater fish. Always have some unique fish to choose from. Prices are fair and staff is helpful. Come check them out!

A whole isle of fresh water fish to choose from, prices are great but most items and fish were not priced. Salt water fish were very well kept! There were used tanks and stand for sell, as well as new tanks and items you need to upkeep your established tank. There's a section that has driftwood and rocks and other accessories for fresh and salt water aquariums. My only concern is the live rock had no water in the tub so the live rock wasn't.... Live. Most of the rock was dead and there were some beautiful pieces but, again, wasn't in water to keep bacteria from dying. You can also buy frozen fish food. A little high on that portion. I'd go to Petco for that. It's cheaper there.

Very helpful, good collection, decent pricesl needed a Seahare to help my tank get rid of hair algae. They sold me this great algae eater. Within 3 days, i could barely see any hair algae left. Thank you "The Fish Tank".Once he is done & hungry with his specialty gone, I might have to take him back to survive? Let me know please.

So not only do they have freshwater and saltwater they just got in Leopard Geckos, pacman frogs and sulcatas. Ask for Anthony he is super nice and knows a lot about what they have and the care needed for what your purchasing.

Stopped by today to look at fish, as I do occasionally. In the corner, I found a disappointing sight. In one aquarium, an adult (three toed?) box turtle, a tortoise, several baby red eared sliders and several of another species I am unfamiliar with crammed into an aquatic turtle setup that wasn't even very good for aquatic turtles. I confronted an employee who said he 'gets in trouble for trying to help animals,' but only after he argued that in the wild there is water and land and it was fine??? There was nowhere for them to dry off and one appeared sick. If you can't properly care for the animals you are selling, don't sell them at all. Very sad.

They have a good selection of salt and fresh water fish, and salt and fresh water plants. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They offered to test our tank water for us free of charge if we bring some the next time.We got a variety of baby aggressive fish, and rosy reds. The rosy reds are feeder fish, 20 for $1.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great Salt Water selection and great pricing!!! The new renovations are looking really good and the store is always clean. I've bought SOOOO MANY fish from this place and they have all been super healthy and easy to keep. Here is a pic of the queen angel in my tank I bought from them 6 months ago...alive and well today and super beautiful!

Not very impressed with this place. I had a sick 3 year old Koi and the guy Anthony offered NO HELP. I went back home changed out 75% of the water then began my own research. My Koi is a Butterfly Koi. She has super long fins and it gold black silver and white. Never seen one likeher. She is 26 inches long and acts like a little puppy swimming around really fast when I am around her. .

Nice little fish shop. Has some pretty awesome fish. We left with some starfish, snails, a puffer fish & a black ghost knife fish. Pretty good prices! Got a picture of this majestic big head!

Sat out front until 11:05am (says open at 10:30am) on a Thursday and lights never came on, door locked.I'd love to return when they're open and revise this review.Please revise your open hours if you won't be open. If this was an isolated event due to something unforseen, my apologies.Saw two other customers come and go during this time.

Usually pretty nice store but the last few times I've gone some of the tanks look like they've been forgotten and every time I get shrimp they just up and die on me no matter how slow an acclimation process.I know they can do better so hopefully they get things figured out soon in the new location.

Good quality fish for a fair price. They've been a trusted business for 43 years! Expert advice and great service

We were hopeful after seeing reviews that we would see a great selection of fish and inverts. Couldn't be farther off the mark. The shop was cramped with poor housekeeping. Marine tanks looked very poorly maintained as evidenced by multiple tanks with dead Livestock and nonfunctional lighting. I think they may have been acceptable at some time in the past, but are not being maintained properly now.

Overall good service, but the place itself was a mess. When I went, there was very little stock to choose from (might have just been the day I went) and it was filthy. I would be extra wary of buying fish here, I saw a flowerhorn that had nasty white stuff around the eye of it (thankfully I wasn't in the market for flowerhorns). The guy was nice and he checked our tank water for us, but I would be extra wary of his advice if you are a beginner and haven't done any research.The living conditions of the fish were not ideal either (especially for the poor arowanas, gars, catfish and other fish that were crammed into the large tank in the front.)

This place is awesome. Huge selection of beautiful coral. The prices can’t be beat. Only shopping at this store from now on.

It doesn't look like much on the outside but looks can be deceiving!! They have a fantastic selection of fish and corals, including a lot of rare stuff if you come on the right days. They sell saltwater and freshwater as well as supplies for both.

They had some awesome fish and animals but the store is filthy, the tanks are dirty and had lots of dead fish. The set up is terrible and the smell when you walk in is overwhelming. The conditions are deplorable 😢😬 the ceiling was falling in, the tanks are filthy, the animals don’t look well, the flooring is disgusting 🤢, almost no ventilation in the store and it’s packed with tanks, half are empty because “everything died because it got to hot” … that what the employee told us. The entire place is just gross. I don’t recommend spending any time or money in this place.

I’ve been living in Houston now for 4 years, I moved here and started a fish tank, BB fish and pets have been nothing but patient with me … any questions I need they answer any fish I need held ..they hold it …they even let me call the store before arriving for feeder fish, so convenient they bag the fish up before I make it to them so all I got to do is get out on pay .. They even let me trade a couple my fish in,I even purchase a alligator gar one time not knowing I was gone be afraid of it the next month.. BB Fish and Pets allowed me to trade it in for two pretty orange fish free of charge the bend over backwards for me my loyalty with them will stand long as I live in Houston…I could go on and on but I’ll be writing forever just know I been going to the store for 4 years now and never left mad there that Sums it up !!!

My good lord....this place needs to be shut down. It is sick how these fish are stored. The place is filthy and has bugs everywhere. The ceiling is literally falling in. Red tailed catfish don't need to be sold to recreational fish owners. Pyara shouldn't be kept. Please shut this fish mill down. This is a review for bb fish, NOT THE FISH TANK

Kept reminding me how expensive the big fish were and how" he couldn't even afford it" when I had to interrupt him and informed how do he know we're in the same tax bracket. I told him I will take my business elsewhere. Want good friendly service go to nemo and friends
