MOBY Dick Pet Store

Plenty of salt water and fresh water fish they include live feeder fish and live feeders for reptiles very knowledgeable and gave me great advice they have a lot of stuff that I haven't seen anywhere else either plenty of reptile and fish stuff and a lot of Frozen foods it's great

Will not go back. It was a great store years ago, but has gone downhill. Could not even walk down the aisles, and forget about getting someone to help you. So chaotic, crazy and claustrophobic, I had to get out of there!

Sadly i will not be going here. I am always down to pay more for a local pet store but sadly it is not worth it anymore. I currently have a 65 gallon fish tank for saltwater with many fish in it. I have a emerald crab in it from petco. I purchased 2 emerald crabs from here and they died within 2 days. But of course i should have known this was going to happen from first off they were having a 2 for one sale on them and 2 when the guy was grabbing them with his dirty hands he was tossing dead ones he picked up from the tank until he found 2 alive.

It may be as simple as a crab and the cheapest thing there but if they treat small crabs like that it shows to me thats how they treat their upper class fish as well. will be buying online and going back to petco.

I was fooled like many who have gone here. They are WAYYY overpriced first off. The staff is questionable at best. Have witnessed staff giving "advice" that is 100% wrong. Fish you bought not working out with your tank receipt in hand? No worries they will give you essentially nothing in store credit compared to what you paid for the fish. Not to mention 3 times I bought a fish here. 3 tanks had a sickness AND snails suddenly. These people are clowns and have ZERO customer service.

Knowledgable staff, large selection of tank decorations, and lots of unique animals and fish. One of the coolest pet stores I have ever been to. Will be returning whenever I'm in the area. Gonna be hard to top this place because its a nice place to just window shop too.

I bought a betta from them in June for a great price and he is a happy and healthy fish. No problems at all! Not to mention the store is so cool to visit, free aquarium visit lol!

Awesome fresh and salt water fish selection! You know when you bring a fish home that it was taken care of and will have the best chance to live when moving it to your tank. Always friendly with just the top end advice for all your hobby questions. I can't say enough good things about this store! The best pet store in a 50 mile radius! Love it!

I drove to this place looking for a fun exotic pet store by great lakes. While the fish selection is really extreme and exotic, I have to say the birds for sale made me really sad. The area smelled of reptile and fish and there were bugs flying around. Birds have such delicate air sacs I would be surprised if every bird didn't have a respiratory infection.

They were also really small, in a small cage and in an area with no ventilation. The shop was also so narrow the aisles are single file. They had some unique items for exotic pets but I really wish they'd stop selling birds or provide them an adequate environment

Very nice place to work with. I have bought my crested gecko there and he came home all healthy. I know they health test there animals and make sure they are all good to go before they sell them. 10/10 would recommend over petco

Very busy Saturday. I felt like I was annoying the associate when I asked for help to buy a fish. I bought 2 and had to drive an hour back home. One of the bags started leaking 10 minutes in. Had to stop and buy bags to save the fish. One died today for no reason, had him 2 weeks.

Consistently my favorite pet store in the state, I get just about everything here from feeder insects to supplies to filter parts and hardgoods. Constantly impressed with the management and courtesy of the staff, especially during the pandemic, and working hard to keep everything in stock. I'm proud to shop here and is one of the only pet stores I recommend in its entirety. Love this place, hope it stays around forever.

Best pet supply shop! I take my bird there to get her nails trimmed! They are very gentle and nice! Great selection on fish and reptiles! Lots of tanks, cages, and products!

Let me start off by saying the workers are always nice and knowledgeable, BUT how they help people is chaotic and frustrating to say the least! Went in this past Sunday and they were busy as usual, waited half an hour, waiting for someone to help us, finally we were the last people back by the tanks and we thought, ok we're next and then another lady began to look at the fish so what did the next worker that came back there do? Yep walked right up and asked if he could help her! Seriously?

Maybe they need to figure a better system, like not walking the people and they're fish up to the register so you have 5 workers standing there. I don't know, but there must be a better way because I won't do that again!

The service here is top notch. I come for saltwater and freshwater fish. For as small as it is they have amazing selection. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. It's truly a community type store, they remember your name and make recommendations to help you succeed; not just sell product/ livestock. Super happy, and they will always be my local resource for all things fish related.

The staff are so kind and knowledgeable. Their tanks are stunning and are constantly being restocked. I've purchased many fish, snails, plants, and equipment from this store and I'm always satisfied. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Super helpful, super knowledgeable, all around great independent store. Shop local and support these guys they're awesome at what they do!

This is a wonderful place to get some awesome fish and good advice. Love this store it may be small but wow they have a lot of stuff!

DO NOT GIVE YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS STORE! I brought to an employees attention that one of their young ball pythons was EXTREMELY dehydrated, the other was becoming dehydrated, and one of their Russian tortoises was so lethargic and sick looking I didn't think it was alive. I soon realized it was barley alive when it tried to move and gave up laying in the same spot.

I asked multiple question as to what was being done to care for these animals and if they are receiving proper veterinary care. To this I was given no answers, multiple excuses and passive aggressively told to have a good day as he walked away in the middle of my sentence. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR ANIMALS y

Every time I step foot inside this store it is a horrible experience. Never welcoming or friendly people that work there. Everybody that works there tells you different information that contradicts the other person. Today I took my 3 year old son in there to buy some leaves for his fish tank. We couldn't find the ones we needed and were circling around the store 3 times.

Finally we went up to the desk where the owner/manager was sitting. He's looking down at a paper and doesn't even look up to acknowledge our existence. My son is being loud trying to squirm out of my hands and I say one second we need to ask this guy a question. I say "excuse me" and he doesn't look up. I'm literally 2 feet away from him. NEVER ACKNOWLEDGES ME. I said "never mind" to my son, "we're leaving". My family and I have spent so much money there over the years and none of us will ever step foot in there again.

Best pet store in the area. always get my bugs live & healthy&.great customer service (ring the bell ). as far as the floors go. its a aquatic & reptile shop for the most part. not a resturant so expect a lil water on the floor in the fish room. spills happen. no big deal

I can't believe I haven't yelped about Moby Dick yet! I've been coming here for a few years (as long as I've had my aquarium) and every employee I've spoken to has been helpful and appeared to enjoy answering my questions. From water tests, to adding frogs, fish, and plants to my aquarium, I've gotten plenty of help with it all!

Also worth mentioning, not all the 'help' is selling me more stuff. Using a different water supply, different placement of my aquarium, and just general care schedules have been suggested as solutions to issues. They're always willing to talk fish, and look completely unruffled by my kids random interruptions and enthusiasm on the subject. We drive by a couple pet stores on our way, but for my aquarium I always go to Moby Dicks.

I was amazed at the selection of fish! The staff is very knowledgeable and always on hand to answer any questions. The fish are actually cared for and tanks are well maintained. Never had any issues with unknowingly purchasing a diseased fish.

I read the bad views but decided to stay optimistic and visit anyways. I was very disappointed to see that a fish store would house their betta fish in such poor conditions. Kept in small air tight bags with little water that easily flop over; those that were not dead, were laying sideways struggling to keep themselves in the water with half of their gills exposed to the air. Sad to see creatures treated such way.

Used to be the 'go-to' place for all of Waterford/Clarkston area. has consistently slide downhill in my opinion. Crickets and mealworms are always half-dead, and their selection of fish is always overpriced. Usually takes a while for someone to help you, and most times you feel like you are annoying them.especially over the phone. Many other good places around. get a price from Moby Dick and shop it elsewhere. Also, the back room smells horrible.

No matter how well I check the crickets when I buy them, when I get home they are a half or more dead, extremely stinky, box of nasty shit! Never happens at pets supplies plus! If they can't take care of the food how well can they take care of the live reptiles they are selling?

Honestly love this place! Shawn is the best he knows his stuff! Also they have a good selection of fish fresh and salt water! They have a decent about of products for reptiles I wouldn't go here for my cat or dog they are Manley a fish/reptile shop

I'm a new fish owner, and I went there to test the quality of my water. I've never felt so at home in a pet store before in my life. I was helped by two different employees and they were both very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. They were super friendly, and made me feel okay to have as many questions as I did. They helped me get everything I needed, and one of the employees actually wrote down everything I needed to remember on a piece of paper. I definitely will be returning to this store.

Been going to Moby Dicks Pets since I was a little kid. The staff are generally friendly but a lot of times you have to wait quite a while just to be helped. They have a great selection of livestock both freshwater and saltwater including some coral and live rock. Prices are average but some selections are a bit steep, however, I've found that sometimes they are willing to negotiate with you a little. Overall it's not a bad place that I'd def recommend at least checking out if you've never been before and might happen to be in the area.

I love this place. not so much for the fish, because I am not the type to take care of fish, but for the less aquatic pets. My mom and grandmother get all their fish and feeder fish from here and have done so for as far as I can remember. Ok, kind of afraid to admit this but touching fish freaks me out, especially when they flop out of the net onto the ground and you have to scoop them back up while they are still flopping. ugh.

But this place has other pets too. I like to come here and look at the lizards and gerbils and other assorted critters that my apartment won't allow me to have. I bought a cockatiel from here and she is awesome. The price was fair, the supplies I need for my bird aren't expensive and the customer service is fantastic. Anyways, to make a long story short, no matter what kind of animal creeps you out (fish/hairless rats), they have another that you will love and they can get you the supplies for it at a nice price.
