I could be wrong, but this place looked out of business. 12pm on a Friday.*Edit: I am happy to alter my review and don't mind being wrong. I am also more than happy that another small business hasn't had to close their doors. There was no ill will intended in my review at all, only meant as informational and a forewarning for others who might be showing up to the location only to find they had also wasted their time. This was my experience in showing up to a store with posted hours, but closed upon arrival with no mention on their website, door, or google that no one would be there due to an event. My experience is just as valid as someone who made a purchase. 5 stars for the prompt response, 1 star for the tone and attitude of the reply. You have the gall to call me ignorant, but as a business owner should know, these days most consumers get their info from the web, you contributed to this by not posting any information about updated hours (I notice that you've only now made that edit on google). You could have easily just informed me that you were in fact still in business and respectfully request that I either edit or delete the review, apologize for not adjusting the posted hours and invite me to patronize your fine store another time (that's what a wise business person would do). Most people are human and can understand someone forgetting something like that or emergencies that come up or whatever the case might be. Instead, you surmised that I had some nefarious intent and resulted to baseless insinuations and personal attacks. This says more about you than it does myself.

Great place to buy fish. The owner is awesome and great to talk to. Excellent customer service. Bought a bunch of stuff from him today at a great price. He fed all the fish in front of me to show me that they're eating. Bagged and oxygen added. Best deals in all of dallas and possibly best prices in America. Definitely recommend and will be coming back to buy a lot more from this guy. Thanks brother

Great store! Owner is very knowledgeable and likes to get in the not so common fish which is what I look for. They also make sure to show you that the fish are eating before you purchase them. I bought five fish from him, some of which can be difficult to get eating, they where eating in the store and started eating within hours of me putting them in the tank as well. Another nice thing is he treats all the fish with prazipro and copper, is nice to know that the fish you are getting are most likely healthier than what you are getting from the big stores.fish are still alive and eating a week later as I write this review tooHighly recommend and will get more fish from here!

These people are scammers. I don't know if they always were, because I only placed one order (thankfully), but they are now. I ordered a fish on June 15, 2022. They contacted me 6 days later to tell me that the fish had stopped eating, and they would have more within "two weeks". No problem! It happens with live animals.However, I never heard from them again. So, on February 17, 2023, I started trying to contact them. I was finally able to get a response on March 3, 2023, after emailing, messaging them on Facebook, and making a public post asking them to respond. Since then (it's now mid April), they have been telling me that they will send a refund, but it still has not happened. They stopped responding entirely in mid March, and also posted around that time that they will only be transhipping to fish stores from this point forward. I don't know if this is even true, but I am leaving this review so that other businesses can avoid the scam if they look into this company.

Dope store! Dedicated to saltwater and the BEST prices in town. Came from rowlett to visit the store and I must say I'm impressed , very worth the drive! Got a beautiful blue hippo Tang , a framer frag and a fire shrimp. Juan and Cynthia were very kind , and provided GREAT customer service. Will definitely be visiting again , I think I've found my new go-to fish store.

Thank you. Went this weekend and he was able to help me the nano tank problem. Very knowledgeable and everything he told me to do cleared up by tank. His fish are high quality at reasonable prices. Great customer service too.

The photos do not match the sizes of the fish when you go to the store. In the photos there are large fish in relation to the size of the hand and you arrive and they are small! This happened to me with the blue tang and the sailfin tang!! be careful with that. because by putting photos of fish in the hand they are giving the size reference!

Great Place. Great PricesJuan is very knoweledgable about the reefing hobby. His passion for saltwater fish and corals is very renowned. I have learned so much in a very short time going to the store. I find myself engulfed in great conversation and my wife always asks what took so long? Thank you

Store is definitely in the early stages of being open, but they have a fantastic selection of fish and coral. Several species of wrasse that my regular LFS can't get in they had tanks full of. Will definitely come back once they've had time to establish themselves.

At Salgado Aquatics they offer a great variety of fish and corals. Juan is very knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service every time I walk into his store. The prices on their livestock are also great!

When you need special attention to your fish needs, Salgado's is where you want to buy. Juan is very knowledgeable and has a QT process that ensures the best quality possible.

They had some rare wrasses and tangs I couldn't find anywhere else. Took the time to feed each one and guide me through the buying process. Prices were better than most in the area. I will be back!

Juan was very helpful and nice to chat with. This new shop has so much potential and you can already see by what they've set up. I'll definitely be adding Salgado Aquatics to my list of must visit saltwater shops in the DFW.

They are closed. Or at least their store front address that is online is up for lease. Don’t waste your time going.

Great store with the best price around. When bagging the fishes, the guy wrote down the SG and taped the bottom to round out the corners so the fishes don't get stuck.
