The pro for this place is some good fish selection and used tanks. Nice enough clerks. The con is that now that Ive had a chance to sample other aquarium stores in the area I feel this place is _WAY_ overpriced; I feel I was ripped off a bit on a beginner rig for my kids. Example ... Basic 10 gallon setup clocked in at $250. The starter with live bacteria was about $18... other stores it was $11 Maybe thats not bad, but Ive certainly found cheaper since. I like to support local businesses, but shop around.

Only place I know of that buys and sells used equipment! Those complaining about prices, must have not asked how to make it cheaper. I have set up monster systems for dirt cheap. And always have a place to trade in for store credit. Retail prices are more than fair and competitive. They even carry items you wont find anywhere else. Chris and Tom take care of all customers saltwater and fresh water alike. If you havent walked into this store, make sure you do. This store isnt like those boring chain LFS.

I drive 45 minutes out of my way because they have helped me so much over the years. The amount of information Ive been freely given is worth it, add up that they are upfront and honest and I feel like I should pay them to go in the place. Ive shopped other local stores but they purposely sell you anything for the sale and you end up with expensive feeder fish and not a new pet. Love it there and will be going there tomorrow.

Very genuine and caring about their customers fish. They know what they are talking about and can answer any question. Every opinion they gave me about my tank and tank setup has worked wonders. Definitely a fish store you need to go see. They have alot of fresh and saltwater fish and equipment (new and used). i have gone to several fish stores until i went to this 1 and will never go anywhere else.

Kevin Sabine

Awesome store. Very knowledgable, and genuinely care about the health of their customers fish and aquariums. Customer service is excellent. Fish are healthy compared to big box stores. Theyll special order anything for you and have excellent prices and awesome sales weekly! Stop by just to look and see for your self! I wont be going anyplace else for my aquarium needs. Buy local!

I wont go anywhere else. The owners of this store are AMAZING! They are never in a hurry with you, and take the time to help. They take great care of all the fish, and other creatures you like. I just cant say enough about Chris, I have been going to him for over 4yrs, and he is the kindest, and most generous "fishman" I know. Visit this store, you wont be disappointed.

This is my go to fish store. Yes, you will at times have to wait.. But the service and expertise here is unparalleled. The stock is phenomenal. Chris is definitely the only one I like to deal with. Calen is pretty good to. Tom is the guy to go to for Saltwater where Chris is an expert in Fresh and Salt water. Pay them a visit! You wont be disappointed!

Great prices and great help. My family and I just set up a 56 gallon salt water tank and they were so much help. Chris genuinely cares about customers and their fish. So far we have 2 clown fish, one wrasse and two sea urchins and a bunch of snails etc. Other places we went it was all about the money for them there was no compassion in their work.

Dont know where these great reviews are coming from unless they delete the bad ones. I went in. They were quiet, had 4 people working and i couldnt get the time of day from them. No one even acknowledged my existence til i asked if they test water. Got a monosyballic "yes" and the person walked away. I had the sample in my hand. I wont go back.

They are great, free water test !! Knowledge is awesome. Really a great help. Helped make sure that we have the right fish mix. Honest, told us not to buy now on one tank and only a couple for the other tank (we planned on buying more)...Truly wanted us to have a great tank, not a sale today. Just go there !

I LOVE THIS PLACE FOR ALL MY FISH NEEDS. They are very informative and know there fish. Went to person stupid fish died before I even put it in the tank save yourself money get healthy fish from here and keep your fish healthy by asking them what your fish needs they know everything!

Great place with great staff! Chris is very knowledgeable and will go out of his way to help out any customer whether youre a first time in the door or you been there many a times. Definitely a must-see fish store in central New York!

Horrible customer service. One employee there in the mornings and its impossible to get anything if someone else is there talking about their tank. Waited for atleast 20 minutes to get some help with a fish. Never. Got any help.
