    Stopped by today to look at fish, as I do occasionally. In the corner, I found a disappointing sight. In one aquarium, an adult (three toed?) box turtle, a tortoise, several baby red eared sliders and several of another species I am unfamiliar with crammed into an aquatic turtle setup that wasn't even very good for aquatic turtles. I confronted an employee who said he 'gets in trouble for trying to help animals,' but only after he argued that in the wild there is water and land and it was fine??? There was nowhere for them to dry off and one appeared sick. If you can't properly care for the animals you are selling, don't sell them at all. Very sad.

    A whole isle of fresh water fish to choose from, prices are great but most items and fish were not priced. Salt water fish were very well kept! There were used tanks and stand for sell, as well as new tanks and items you need to upkeep your established tank. There's a section that has driftwood and rocks and other accessories for fresh and salt water aquariums. My only concern is the live rock had no water in the tub so the live rock wasn't.... Live. Most of the rock was dead and there were some beautiful pieces but, again, wasn't in water to keep bacteria from dying. You can also buy frozen fish food. A little high on that portion. I'd go to Petco for that. It's cheaper there.

    We were hopeful after seeing reviews that we would see a great selection of fish and inverts. Couldn't be farther off the mark. The shop was cramped with poor housekeeping. Marine tanks looked very poorly maintained as evidenced by multiple tanks with dead Livestock and nonfunctional lighting. I think they may have been acceptable at some time in the past, but are not being maintained properly now.

    My good lord....this place needs to be shut down. It is sick how these fish are stored. The place is filthy and has bugs everywhere. The ceiling is literally falling in. Red tailed catfish don't need to be sold to recreational fish owners. Pyara shouldn't be kept. Please shut this fish mill down.

    Sat out front until 11:05am (says open at 10:30am) on a Thursday and lights never came on, door locked. I'd love to return when they're open and revise this review. Please revise your open hours if you won't be open. If this was an isolated event due to something unforseen, my apologies. Saw two other customers come and go during this time.

    Small local shop with good variety of salt an freshwater fish, great prices and customer service. I buy feeders here for my big tank at home.

    So not only do they have freshwater and saltwater they just got in Leopard Geckos, pacman frogs and sulcatas. Ask for Anthony he is super nice and knows a lot about what they have and the care needed for what your purchasing.

    Nice little fish shop. Has some pretty awesome fish. We left with some starfish, snails, a puffer fish & a black ghost knife fish. Pretty good prices! Got a picture of this majestic big head!

    Overall good service, but the place itself was a mess. When I went, there was very little stock to choose from (might have just been the day I went) and it was filthy. I would be extra wary of buying fish here, I saw a flowerhorn that had nasty white stuff around the eye of it (thankfully I wasn't in the market for flowerhorns). The guy was nice and he checked our tank water for us, but I would be extra wary of his advice if you are a beginner and haven't done any research. The living conditions of the fish were not ideal either (especially for the poor arowanas, gars, catfish and other fish that were crammed into the large tank in the front.)

    It doesn't look like much on the outside but looks can be deceiving!! They have a fantastic selection of fish and corals, including a lot of rare stuff if you come on the right days. They sell saltwater and freshwater as well as supplies for both.

    I've always shopped at this store and they have the best fish and accessories And they're very helpful when I need to ask sure my fish tank is properly maintained

    The employees are very nice and very helpful. They are willing to work with you and help you find anything you might need. My kid even got to feed sting rays! Overall awesome place.

    I like this fish shop. They have salt and freshwater fish. Always have some unique fish to choose from. Prices are fair and staff is helpful. Come check them out!

    They had some awesome fish and animals but the store is filthy, the tanks are dirty and had lots of dead fish. The set up is terrible and the smell when you walk in is overwhelming. The conditions are deplorable 😢😬 the ceiling was falling in, the tanks are filthy, the animals don’t look well, the flooring is disgusting 🤢, almost no ventilation in the store and it’s packed with tanks, half are empty because “everything died because it got to hot” … that what the employee told us. The entire place is just gross. I don’t recommend spending any time or money in this place.

    Great customer service and a wide selection of fish definitely my favorite shop!

    Usually pretty nice store but the last few times I've gone some of the tanks look like they've been forgotten and every time I get shrimp they just up and die on me no matter how slow an acclimation process. I know they can do better so hopefully they get things figured out soon in the new location.
