Edit: They replaced the guppies I lost, much appreciated guys!Great selection of fish and good prices - the first two groups of fish from here were great. The last group I bought (about a week after the others) unfortunately most of the fish passed away in the first 24-48 hours in quarantine. Sadly I work 7am-6pm most days so was unable to return them in the 24 hour return window, but that was my own fault for coming on a Sunday when I worked the days after that. Otherwise very happy with my purchases. Employees are very nice and helpful.

I love this shop! Small but mighty! Staff is amazing and helpful. Fish selection is on point and I never fail to find something new and awesome to buy or check out. Their shop aquarium is gorgeous and I always love to stop and enjoy it on every visit. You have to go check this place out. They have fresh and saltwater fish, foods, and products.

My daughter and I came in around 1030, and the store was amazing. All the staff asked us how we are doing but not in a what do you need so I can get you out way. Everyone was super friendly. My man with the tattoos helped us out, and he did a great job. Nice, handled the fish well. Overall fantastic spot. Great selection of saltwater and freshwater fish. Will be back for sure.

This place is great! Have been to several other shops around the Metro and the aquarium place is definitely my favorite. As someone who is new to the saltwater hobby I was a bit overwhelmed the first time. These guys were extremely patient, informative, encouraging, and friendly. I would say their prices are average. You can probably find other shops that are a little less expensive on some items, but the volume and variety of stock that they have is phenomenal (salt and fresh). Over the last 6 months I found myself saving time and headaches by just coming here first!

Awesome store with an incredible selection! Haven't seen quite a variety on Saltwater in any local store. Amazing quality fish at a very fair price! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the hobby!

This place had a large selection of salt water fish, shrimp and coral They also have freshwater fish and shrimp. I was amazed at the prices. Guppies were 10/$15, fresh water shrimp were the lowest prices I’ve ever seen in a store. It’s definitely worth taking a look.

The nicest aquarium pet store I have ever seen. The fish are just different. They are alive. They are like little puppies or cats in a loving home. I can’t tell you enough how cool this shop is. Everything and everyone is happy. Come see for yourself. No pics posted on purpose. For real. Come check them out :)

I'm new to the hobby because my daughter took some kind of aquatic biology glass and gave me her tank. Since then I have turned into a 6 tank home. 4 aquascape , 1 for plants (grow out clippings) and one breeder tank for cherry shrimp.I have got great advice, great help and kind service. There is great prices and it beats ordering on line anyway to talk to people.This place has become my Saturday routine and at minimum I refill my ROI jug. I advise you to go and look, plenty of choices and the coral is amazing! Maybe someday I will do salt water.Only drawback: I can't come during the week because I get off work at 5:00pm and that's when they close.

Super great local aquarium spot! I just started a couple aquariums of my own and the staff has been beyond friendly, helpful, and engaged in helping me with the rundown of aquarium ownership, and picking out various fish/plants/filters! Been by 3 times in the past month and it's the same experience every time. Hard to think I'll want to patron anywhere else!

Great aquatic store. I was glad to have found this place. I will be back there even though they don't do military discount. Prices are RIGHT, NOT sure why someone would make a negative review saying their prices in frags are expensive. They are cheaper than online.

The people who work here are friendly. The fish are healthy. They have a great variety of saltwater and freshwater fish as well as corals. Every time I come here, I want to upgrade from freshwater to saltwater. The clownfish are super cute.

My go too place!! Jamal and the team are amazing. Everything I get there is reasonably priced and top quality. They also sell aquariums there and the pricing is too good to be true for getting a high quality reef aquarium.

Unbiased, definitely one of the largest, most unique selection of fish within a 50 mile radius. They have salt and freshwater fishes, along with a massive assortment of live plants and corals. Hands down best variety nearby. The owner is kind and friendly. He's usually willing to work something out if something goes wrong with one one your purchases, he is very reasonable. The employees are all very knowledgeable about their livestock and tank keeping. Really, you won't find any store nearby that compares when it comes to variety and an all-around fish store. And the best saltwater selection nearby too, which is strangely hard to find it seems.On the other hand, unbiased, some of the fish are in poor condition and health. The water in the front left tanks of the store is a strange brownish hue and that area smells quite fishy. You can frequently see dead or dying fish in those tanks, which really isn't that unusual considering how many fish they have at any given time. Just unsightly. The customer service is also very mixed. Any of them will come up to you and ask you if you need help with anything, multiple employees will. They just aren't very approachable.I want to love this place, I really do; but, when I need to question if I want something in my tank based on the debatable quality of the livestock, I'd rather not risk it. It is without a doubt worth checking out with caution.

Awesome place to get your fish, plants, and supplies. Huge selection and tanks are very clean and all the fish look happy and healthy. You’ll never go to a chain place after going here. Helpful people working there. Friendly and helpful with suggestions and answers to my 20 questions. Only have neon tetras, clown loaches, and the green phantom pleco in the pics. The dragon stone in the pic also came from here as well as about half of the plants. Going back in two weeks for a center piece fish.

After failing miserably at the chain pet stores.. I did my research and tried this local store first. I won’t even bother trying the other local fish stores near me. Every employee (& the owner himself), have been tremendously helpful and patient with my 100 questions. I’ve walked in this store about 3 times in the past week or two, and am greeted every time, offered help, and provided guidance with any questions or concerns I may have. I’ve bought supplies I needed, plants, some fish, and some shrimp and they’re all thriving. I have yet to see an unhealthy or dead fish when I walk in here. The employees are always cleaning and it’s clear everyone takes pride in their work. I love this place so much, I’m choosing to spend my birthday shopping here for my last batch of fish. I’m super excited to make this store my home away from home.

Huge selection of everything imaginable! Employees gave us lots of information and even showed my kids the neat saltwater tank fish! The employees here are always so kind and are very thorough in sharing information and educating fish owners about care and types of fish. I appreciate that they never treat us like our questions are dumb, which can sometimes happen when you get info from experts. :) Fun place to explore. Appreciate that they also take my 10 year old son seriously-as he is the fish keeper at our house! Highly recommend this great store and really appreciate the stellar employees!

Jamal hooked me up with a brand new tank, and when it arrived got me setup with new decor, plants, and sand. Never seen a tank look so good. This is the place to go for your aquatic needs. Crazy good fish selection too

Great selection of fish and corals! Clean store and kind staff. They also post weekly updates of fish they have in stock on Facebook which is super helpful.

Awesome place to get all your fish and aquarium related needs. They have anything you would want and if they don't, the owner will work with you to try to get you what you need. They built my current 120 gallon saltwater setup and I could not be happier with my tank. Jamal got me everything I needed at a lower cost than most other places. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place. I've attached some pictures of my tank setup.

“The Aquarium Place” is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in aquariums and fond of collecting unique fishes, sea plants, and other species living under water. The place boasts a wide variety of unique features fishes and plants that you may not even find in the Downtown Aquarium . The staff is cooperative and always available to answer any questions you may have. The prices are in the medium range, which is great to know. It’s good to hear that they have all the related accessories, food, ornaments, and plants available under one roof . This makes it convenient for customers to find everything they need in one place. Overall, “The Aquarium Place” is a great place to visit if you’re looking for a unique aquarium experience.

I've been going to Jamal since he started the business (for years now). His staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I used to only want to talk to Jamal for questions but I feel confident with Dalton and other staff members. Jamal is a great friend to have in this hobby. I've been in the hobby for 5 years and I feel confident in this place. If your new livestock doesn't make it, know that it's part of the hobby and not the fault of the store. They can't control what happens at home.Anyways, check it out, do your research, and enjoy!Great work!

I bought a Neptunian Cube L120 lagoon tank from them and had it delivered. Everything went well from the buying experience and through to the delivery and setup. They had a nice selection of corals as well.Update:They recently did a major upgrade of the saltwater tanks.Even more selection of great fish and inverts.

We purchased our Galaxy betta fish from here along with some plants. Very nice and helpful staff, please support your local fish stores. Much more ethical and caring to the animals.
