    Pretty good collection. Good choice of cichlids too. Blue Acaras, loiselles cichlids, Jack Dempseys, Parrot cichlids, red devils etc. Prices are worthwhile too. Definitely a place to visit for hobbyists. My mistake, it was supposed to be a five star review! Great place

    Recently started aquascaping as a hobby. I bought all the equipment from the Perfect Nano Tank, lighting, filter, aqua soil, aqua plants and seiryu stones 😍 Manager (Patrick) was very helpful and gave me all the information and guidance to start the hobby. Frequent customer for sure.

    I bought one betta fish with high quality. But the thing is 1st they said fish was 1500/- but makes as a 750/- and they sell it to me rs 750/-.. that is normal crown tail fish. Conclusion they have good quality fishes but very expensive. Bad experience. Aquarium ornaments and equipments also very expensive. You can buy all Chinese products very easily using AliExpress or e bay. Working people have lack of knowledge about fishes. They advice me to 😋...

    I thought the best place in Colombo to buy a fish tank, but unfortunately the tank bought broke twice. So practically a cheap China product. The manager rejected any warranty as the tank broke "due to water preasure". Sorry isn't a tank made exactly for that. Will not even go into that discussion again, so the shop will not be visited again.

    One of the best places in Sri lanka that you can buy saltwater fish and corals quite expensive but most of the things are high quality. The staff was not that helpful. I had to visit two times because they didn't show me the corals that I'm interested in because their boss wasn't around. I'm from Kandy so it's kind of disappointing news in the first day I visited again for the second time and the staff treated me well. Update : visited for the third time and very satisfied because I found a very rare thing for my reef tank.

    It's the perfect place to buy fish, and more than that they advise you on how to maintain your fish tank. But the fish is a bit on the high side of the price. If im not mistaken Dilan is the person you should meet when you go to buy fish or the other necessary items for your fish tank. He will educate you on how you should maintain your fish tank.

    I bought 3 pairs of koi 3 days ago day by day the fishes were dying and 3 fishes are left now I'm worried about the three fishes in my pond left now. 3 months ago I bought 4 pairs of koi those are really healthy and good but recently what I bought were not healthy at all but first I thought that it was my fault but the fault was with the shop.

    This place has a variety of salt water and fresh water fishes. Whatbi like most about here is the collection of plants. There are plants you can't usually find elsewhere. They have all the equipment needed as well, felt the equipments were a bit pricy, but other than that, superb place

    Absolutely amazed with the service I have received from the Thefishstop, i live in qatar and i asked them to deliver my place its far away from colombo around 400 km and they delivered ontime, From start to finish these guys were friendly, professional and great to deal with. Never once let me down, the tank is amazingly well built, delivery and set up of all my equipment and the best price. I compared lots of quotes and these were by far the best. Anyone thinking about marine tank to give as a gift for someone you love don't think, wherever in the world you are, just do it! Outstanding value, craftsmanship and service I don’t have a moment’s hesitation in recommending thefishstop, Very highly recommended.

    This is a great store. The service is tops. When going to other fish shops I almost feel like I’m inconveniencing by needing some assistance. However, at the Fish Stop they take all the time you need and graciously share useful info. I’ve used them for both fresh and salt and appreciate the service they have given me through the years.

    They are breeding turtles and sold us 2 sick turtles. Poor babies were not eating anything since the day we took them home and kept on sleeping as they have come with an eye infection. Do not buy from here. Spent 5k. This man said he doesn't have turtles at first and bought 2 secretly from the back without allowing us to see or pick.

  • 5/5 Chathu J. 8 months ago on Google
    What a great customer service The owner was out of the country and I called and placed my order as I live quite far from the shop, the owners mother was so kind and very prompt to provide me details I wanted, last minute I had to call them to order one more item and by the time my flash driver was out from the shop. This lady made sure sure that she call back the driver and handover what I wanted, didn’t even bother about the payment as she wanted to make sure she handover the item. Super customer service

  • 1/5 jerome d. 6 months ago on Google
    One of my favourite places . I bought many accessories as well. Staff is very helpful. Old lady today throw her attitude towards me .I bought a filter and by the time I pay I have ask whether is there any warranty. She was fuming and said no not at all. I have told her decently it's not good enought . She if I don't wonna buy to walkout. Ask for a receipt given a cash memo . No address nothing . Then ask her to stamp it. She was very reluctant. My whole impression gone. With her stinck attitude.

  • 5/5 Roman De S. 6 months ago on Google
    Reasonable prices written on the tanks, a wide variety of fish, a helpful team that knows the subject matter. Courier service is possible and they have a wide selection of accessories for one who has an aquarium. Tough to find honest, affordable and knowledgeable places, so this one deserves it's 5 stars

  • 4/5 Ak G. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the leading aquarium shop in Sri Lanka, most of products are quite expensive but they have most of stuff what others not , and they have good selection of fish, food, accessories and all, another thing is they sell very young age fish small ones, due to the market demand maybe, so some fish will die soon after you put them to your aquarium.. due to Many circumstances because younger ones are not that strong.. other than that place is really good!!

    Very poor service!!! They have one of the worst services I've ever had to deal with! Just to mention that they treat people based on the state they show up in, they don't even answer/ reply calls or their Facebook chat service! Btw, made 50km to see their bad behavior! So being rich and having a big shop is not enough to do business! 😉
