Fine if you want African cichlids or marine, but not great selection otherwise. Poor lighting made the place feel like a dark garage.

I have been a customer for over 3 years and have always received excellent service, I come every week because they always have a great variety of fish every week.

I went in their to see what they have and it was horrible. The staff their stinks, make up random prices, hide in the back, and lie to your face. Their saw a fish that was super skinny I asked him if he was eating and he told me he was perfectly healthy. Along with bad selection of fish and coral.

I wanted to try this store because it was closer than the regular one I go to. The store is dirty and I’ve never been to an aquatic store that smells bad. I had to wait over 5 minutes for a staff person to come out from the back room to help me. Then he didn’t have the knowledge to help with a problem I was having with my tank. I also wanted to purchase a few common items I needed and they didn’t carry any of it. I was very disappointed with this store and will not return.

One of my favorite places to spend money! Jason and the store owner are cool cats! Always enjoy the conversations. A+

Clean store, friendly staff and good variety of fish and supplies. Was a bit pricey but reasonable.

No worries of getting ick from here unlike these national chains. I have had nothing but bad luck with Petsmart and Petco. Great place to shop with a nice selection.

Don’t trust this place I saw a nice coral I wanted for 15 bucks each that was thriving and he pushed them down and said he could take those off. I thought to myself will this dude thinks I’m new he just didn’t want to sell them to me at that price! So he grabbed one that wasn’t even that good I bought it anyways because I didn’t want to make a a fuss of how dishonest that was! So don’t go here ever!

Would never buy from them! Had betta fish in cups that were disgusting and all of them had fin rot, one was even dead. They also had way too many fish in one tank. Would not recommend supporting them

I went here for the first time last week and it is one of the best tropical fish stores I have been to. You could walk into this store for almost any aquarium need and find it here. They have a wide variety of healthy plants, coral, fresh and salt water fish that were living in clean well maintained tanks. I have rarely seen some of the aquatic life I saw there in other tropical fish stores twice their size. The coral selection was amazing to see because of all the different colors and sizes. On top of all the amazing aquatic life they managed to add a variety of equipment and food as well. The maintenance alone for all of these tanks and aquatic life to stay so healthy must take a considerable amount of work and time. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the service I received was curt. I felt that the worker wanted me to tell him what I wanted and then to get out as fast as possible. After purchasing my fish he didn’t say thank you, bye, come again, smile or anything. He asked if I needed anything else and when I said no he said ok and just walked away leaving my fish on the counter. I see other comments on how people had excellent customer service so I don’t know if the worker was having an off day or if everyone else had a different worker assist them. However, I will be going back because healthy fish are more important than customer service to me. Hopefully next time I have a more courteous employee.

Awesome small tropical/saltwater fish store. They had an awesome low boy setup for their freshwater plants that was loaded with angel fish. This shop is definitely one to check out!

This is a good store with alittle bit of everything. Great coral and saltwater fish. They have a large tank with plants for freshwater and many freshwater tanks as well. I would love to see higher end plants ans nano fish to take them to a 5 star. If I was shopping for only saltwater they would get a higher rating for sure.
