I love this fish store! Truly a mom and pop owned small business that is run by friendly and knowledgeable folks. The tanks always look pristine, with a wide variety of hard to find freshwater fish. Every time I go I get to see a fish Ive never even heard of before. They also have a fantastic selection of live plants, stone, and driftwood. I always buy 2x more than I plan to, and look forward to my next trip.

First time there was 3/8/17. The store is brightly lit and very clean, a wide variety of both fresh and saltwater fish, plants, and dry goods. I didnt see a single dead fish in any tank. The staff was awesome and answered every question I had. I wasnt planning on buying anything but walked out with 2 fish, 6 Or so plants, hikari wafers and frozen blood worms...defintely coming back well worth the trip.

I called ahead to ask if they had a particular type of fish (a spotted puffer) in stock. The woman on the phone asked someone. I could hear her asking if they had spotted *spiders* in stock. I corrected her, and she asked again. She said they didnt, but Im still not sure she actually asked the right question.

STRONGLY SUGGEST BUYING FISH HERE. Great store: friendly owner, GREAT prices. Very well worth the visit, time, energy, and money. He knows a lot about fish and will give you advice if you have any questions. Great variety of fish(fresh and saltwater) species, accessories, and decor.

Great family owned aquarium store. Ive been buying all my fish from them for over 10 years. Fish are always very healthy and active. Good fresh and salt water selections. Bring your water to them and theyll check out the chemicals for free.

I still have fish I purchased from them 7 years ago. Super helpful, nice, knowledgeable. I wouldnt buy my fish anywhere else ever again, especially not a big box store. Worth paying a little extra to know they will be around when you need them.

I love this small fish store. You can almost always see the owner doing water changes on his tanks. The tanks are clean, the plants are healthy, and so are the fish. The owner will gladly answer any concerns and recommend things if needed.

Very knowledgeable and helpful personnel. The fish here are top quality and are well taken care of. The fish are healthy and survive after being put into my tanks (unless they get eaten).

Dont have a huge selection but they do have healthy fish. Never once had a problem with anything bought here. Corals are very fairly priced as well. The people working here are great.

This guy really cares about his fish. Tanks are always clean, and hell go out of his way to help you get what you need. Well worth the long drive it takes for me to get there.

Tony and Linda are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Being new to marine aquariums, I had many basic questions, and Tony promptly and thoroughly answered them.

Really great experience. Thier fish are healthy and active. The staff is very helpful and nice. Worth paying higher prices than the big box places.

Mark Doran

Knowledgable without feeling the need to make you feel dumb by asking questions. Truly hobbyists turned entrepreneurs... Fantastic!

Great family owned/operated business. Much rather patronize a mom & pop business instead of giving my money to a conglomerate!
