Staff was very helpful in helping me decide on a new freshwater shrimp tank. I had lots of questions and they answered them all.

Been getting all my fish and supplies here for the few years I've had my tank. All the critters I've gotten have been super healthy. Everyone working here has always been super helpful, especially when I was a beginner.

I just want to say their staff is very friendly and know a lot of stuff, I been in the hobby of fish keeping for around 1 year and I was very impressed with everything they have, I also didnt see any dead fish (like in petco/petsmart). I also bought some skirt tetras from them and they are healthy and are thriving in my fish tank

Super helpful staff! Im a houseplant specialist so I was out of my depth here (pun intended). You took the time to answer my questions about setting up my first walstad aquarium, and even recommended some reading material on the subject! You guys were a big help, eventhough it was a busy Saturday. Keep up the good work! You are appreciated!

Great customer service, I went during a busy time but was still checked in with regularly to see if I had questions or needed help. I was impressed with the quality of fish (endlers especially!) and a decent selection of snails, though I wouldn't recommend the shrimp. Some great plants too. It was nice to see Bettas in bigger tanks, setting a good example. I'll be back often!

Amazing place! We came here to get a tank and fish and they asked us to establish the tank and bring a water sample before introducing the fish. I appreciated that they weren't pushing for us to buy, quite the contrary, and it turns out the water was NOT in a good place and the fish would have died. They really care! Everyone is nice and helpful and we keep coming back.

The employees here are always so helpful and nice. If I need help, someone is always available and knowledgeable. I've been in about 5 times for supplies, shrimp and tetras. Never had a bad experience. Their product is great, fish are always healthy and their rewards program is AWESOME.

Hey it was fun out here! While so many were out celebrating Halloween. I went in this store to shop for different beautiful species of fish for my Aquarium. Unfortunately I made a lot of videos and there's no option to post videos. There are millions of lovely fishes you must see. God made them so special

I've bought many fish from this place and they do well with PH and no sick fish. Highly recommend, currently have Cichlids I bought from them. Love this place.
