👍👍 Drove 55 minutes to one fish store but ended up googling and driving to this lil gem. From the moment we walked in, we were in awe! The corals, the fishes and clean aquariums were amazing to see. And then.. we are helped by Kyle! Talk about knowledge on corals and fish life, this guy was so skilled... People often mention fish, store, staff, selection, water, knowledgeable, friendly, Great, helpful, good,

    If you love freshwater fish, invertebrates, and plants, this is the place to be! Salt water species abound there, though my cat and I enjoy the reverse osmosis freshwater. It definitely tastes better than the yellow tap-water. The staff are extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of this hobby. Beginners are very welcome and won’t be left to flounder, and experts won’t get nagged when they hit a snag, because let’s face it, nothing lasts forever and nuked tanks happen; just keep your head held high and blame and frame a wet gremlin - it’s always the gremlins playing water-polo. Go to the Aquarium Kingdom lll if you want to build a happy underwater home for your future pets. Seriously,, get schooled by the friendly fish nerds that geek out over gills! Create a community aquarium or tinker with the more competitive and aggressive species only tanks. Listen to advice on which pets will click and which ones won’t (pets eating pets quickly gets expensive and depressing). Your new friend may need a lid because fish think jumping is fun (it’s not), who likes it hot and who likes it cold? Squabbling with a roomie or better-half over a few degrees is exhausting. The staff knows all of this voodoo. Some gilled friends live to play in a fast current whereas some others prefer to drift. The staff and managers can explain the balancing act of perfectly imperfect planted aquariums, complete with suggestions on lighting, nutrients, substrates and eye-candy such as driftwood and pebbles. Get you water parameters tested (I’m more mad scientist than chemist, so it’s best that an expert tells me that I’m about to see some early departures going belly-up (again, blame and frame the gremlins playing water-polo). Go there, gab with a gill geek and buy some new friends - there’s nothing quite like a happily captive audience.

    Drove 55 minutes to one fish store but ended up googling and driving to this lil gem. From the moment we walked in, we were in awe! The corals, the fishes and clean aquariums were amazing to see. And then.. we are helped by Kyle! Talk about knowledge on corals and fish life, this guy was so skilled & informative on feedings, temperature, water measures and growth of just about every different species in that store. If I could give him 100 stars, I totally would. We love our beautiful huge corals purchased. They made it home safe and we followed his instructions. They are happy in their new home. Thank you Kyle, stay sweet with your outstanding customer service!

    Natalie is as good as it gets when it comes to tropical freshwater fish care. She is calm, cool, collected and totally in control at all times. In addition, the store is always clean and well stocked and has an impressive selection of coral for sale. All in all I highly recommend anyone shop here for their aquarium needs!

    Very very helpful staff. Super friendly ( the lady and the gentlemen ) and knowledgeable. Helped me get some plants and some fish for my new freshwater tank. Tested my water recommended nutrients and everything. THEIR ADVICE IS FREE and that is priceless. Thank you for a pleasant time each time I’ve come there (almost everyday). Will be back again soon. This will be my go place. Thank you

    Worst customer service of a lifetime. Went in excited to stock a new 125... wound up being told my daughter would have to urinate in the lot. Nobody greeted, when I asked for help with Fisk were ignored. Terrible terrible experience. Severely disappointed.

  • 3/5 Mista J. 4 years ago on Google
    I give this place three stars only because the owner dropped the price a little bit when I bought every bloodfin tetra in the tank. Also because the staff is extremely knowledgeable and honest when it comes to your aquarium. But the only problem I had was a lot of their tanks had ich. Which I understand we are in the middle of a cold front so the fish they buy to stock up there tanks probably came with ich. I worked in a petstore in New York and the winter was the worst time to buy fish from us because they always had ich. It’s understandable. But honestly they are not doing anything about it. They’re not treating the tanks or writing sick tank on the glass or even letting you know “this is a sick tank”. I was ready to buy a black German ram from them for 30$ or 40$ and the tank was infested with ich no treatment in the water. When I work at my pet store I was treating tanks that I noticed had ich and ones that the customers noticed had ich. And I would tell them hey this tank is sick and take there contact info and call them up the second the tank was cured. They are little bit expensive on some fish not all. They have some nice looking plants as well. But hey I got my bloodfins on sale and all 15 of them are super heathy.

  • 5/5 Sy M. 4 years ago on Google
    The store has a good selection of saltwater fish, corals, aquatic plants, and some freshwater fish, but it was the staff I was really impressed by. They're all very friendly and were super helpful in answering my questions to help me start my first ever freshwater aquarium.

  • 5/5 Sreyam 2 years ago on Google
    I called every store from Miami to West Palm Beach, they where the only ones that could help me. Going to stop by their store front sometime this week and buy some product.

  • 5/5 Zachary F. 1 year ago on Google
    Diverse selection and well-kept tanks. The betta and other nearby tinnier tanks could use some love.

    Walked in a woman behind counter looked up from her phone and said hi and went right back to looking at her phone . I walked around for 15 to 20 minutes and no one offered to help me or even came to see what I was doing . I walked by the desk and there where a group of people talking and I couldn't figure out if any of them worked there because they where all in regular clothing . They didnt even stop the conversation to look at me . I went in there looking to spend a bit of money knowing it would be expensive for what I wanted but after being ignored I decided to leave I doubt they even noticed . can't say ill be back. Shame to because its right around the corner from my house. But maybe it was a one off . best of luck to everyone looking for a good fish store .

  • 5/5 Christopher O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great store. I prefer getting salt water from them as some other local stores are making their own salt water, and my nutrient levels were being affected by man made water. As for the store itself, they have a huge selection of very interesting corals. The prices are fair and they are very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 King.Darius.9thgen 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and they are very informative for people just starting out

  • 1/5 Agustine 7 months ago on Google
    WOW.. after years of coming here on and off... I will probably NEVER return to this fish store. I have spent hundreds on fish and coral spread out the years. I have even referred people. However, recently was my 1st worst experience. Employee Santiago threatened that he could throw me out of the store (w/ owner permission), for disrespecting him (previous visit), by asking a lower price on a torch frag he was selling himself at the store. I have always negotiated coral and fish with other places, and they have never been insulted by that. No owner has ever felt disrespected for asking a lower price. Worst they have said was "no". I may ask a couple of times after the 1st time, but never have i harrass, curse, or disrespect anyone for a lower price. Santiago had elaborated and fabricated the story to the owner. Everything is on camera. If he felt that he was disrespected, then he should have just told me not to ask for a lower price. This is still odd because nobody in the fish industry has ever felt insulted by negotiating prices. They understand that's part of working at a fish store. Sorry Alex, love ya store for years, but I will be going to the other 2 stores off of commercial. I thought I was a fun and energetic customer. Never had an issue with any of your staff. Everyone has always been friendly with me. However, today was poor customer service. Don't be in business if you feel disrespected for a cust questions.

  • 5/5 Bryndy B. 4 years ago on Google
    I called first about an hour before closing to see if AK had any Betta fish. Shea was very detailed with their stock and when I showed up he was just as friendly in person. He knows his fish info and it was like aquarium 101. We have several large to medium fish tanks and we’ll be buying supplies from this store. Reasonably priced and the polite customer service will have me going back. Thank you

  • 5/5 lucy p. 4 years ago on Google
    Went to the store not knowing what I really wanted. Shea was outstanding. He walked me through all the selections of fish I could make. I finally selected the fish my granddaughter would like. Shea should be considered for a management position. He is awesome.

  • 2/5 Paula G. 3 years ago on Google
    I've made 3 different requests for call backs, the employees say the owner needs to do it and he never does. I guess he's busy enough he doesn't need any more customers. We actually resorted to buying a fish online because we can't find it locally. Nice shop, but won't be going back.

    Great place, great customer service and great fishes. I only buy from them. Staff is super friendly and experienced.

  • 4/5 Andrew D. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a nice shop, it's outside my normal traveling range. Alex, the owner really enjoys interacting with his customers, you could tell that from your visit. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Some nice large displays, both fresh and saltwater. Nice selection of both fresh and saltwater including freshwater plants and saltwater corals. Some very nice coral specimens, in fact. On the freshwater side, good selection of African cichlids, and also some very large South American cichlids such as some beautiful big gold severum as well as some long fin giant oscars. Definitely worth a visit if this shop is in your area, or even if you happen to be passing through town.

  • 5/5 Michael D. 4 years ago on Google
    The guys are very down to earth. Very large selection of fresh water and salt water fish. Alot of plants at a very good price point. Great thing they take atm cards no limit at all. Definitely will go back soon.

  • 2/5 Tank Mates A. 3 years ago on Google
    I've read plenty great reviews on this place but my experience was totally the opposite. Came in with the hopes of getting some things for my 50 gal. But had no offer of help from the associate who didn't even hear us come in because her ear pods were taking up the majority of attention, I even told a small joke to maybe try to initiate conversation to no avail. Well after walking aimlessly around the store we decided to leave, I mean i was really disappointed because I didn't find the experience I read about through the reviews.. I gave 2 stars because although they had a huge selection, most of the life plants were browning and there wasn't anybody in position this day to accommodate any request of point me in a good direction as far as my aquarium..

  • 4/5 carolina c. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It depends what you are looking for, if you want exotic animals this is the place, their attention is good and their prices are affordable (Original) Depende lo que buscas, si quieres animales exóticos este es el lugar, su atencion es buena y sus precios accesibles
