I would definitely consider this a more high-end fish and reptile shop, offering many freshwater and saltwater fish. They have a decent amount of reptiles but definitely have larger selection in the fish department. They also have a small dog area. They can provide everything that you would need to get started for both fish and reptiles. All sells are final, make sure that you research and know what your purchasing. The staff doesn't hover you, they'll check in with you when you first come in and then let you brows. as soon as you stand in the designated area for service, they are quickly there to guide you and answer questions for you or assist in retrieving your fish. Very nice location with beautiful fish and set ups. We enjoyed just looking around. Well be back for future purchases.

I bought a bottle of “live” copepods. Spoiler: they were bottled more than a month prior and they were all dead. I looked under a microscope too. This was my bad, I should’ve looked at the bottle more closely, but I was really disappointed by the stores reaction and lack of response. I have recommended this store to several friends in the past. I live an hour and a half away, otherwise I would’ve brought it back just to show them how the pods were obviously dead. No response from them before I posted this review. My bad, I shouldn’t have trusted them to sell me live things without checking. Just be on your toes.

Probably don't NEED to write this review, as the reputation speaks for itself, but felt compelled to anyway. This shop is probably the best in town. There are other fantastic little exotic animal shops, but the combination of shops to serve the needs of so many enthusiasts is inspired, and the management does a phenomenal job running the place. I'll take a moment to list how... Displays are well placed, eye-catching and well built. Everything in the shop appears clean and maintained. The store is easy to move through and products are simple to locate due to the wide open concept and breakdown into "departments" from exotic to marine and freshwater. Service is stellar, and the system they have established for busy periods makes being helped more prompt than you would expect when several others are waiting for help with livestock. Everyone I have had the pleasure of being assisted by is polite, informed and eager to answer questions. They take a genuine interest and your project, which Displays a shared passion for the hobbies this store promotes. Prices are competitive considering how minimal the competition actually is, and the selection is extensive. Have shopped here off and on since moving to California, and will be glad to continue my patronage.

This place is awesome! The owners are extremely helpful and caring about their customers. I recently decided I wanted to get into the saltwater aquarium hobby and one of the owners (who are brothers) took the time out to personally explain how everything works and what I need to get started, and even advised me to wait and maybe look up more information instead of pushing me to make a purchase! About a week into cycling my new tank, and I'm extremely satisfied with all of the help and support I've gotten from all of the employees here! This is also a great place to bring your kids and check out all of the fish and corals they have in the store, regardless of whether you have an aquarium. The other part of the store has some reptiles, etc. but the fish is definitely the main focus of this store. Check it out!

Always one of my favorite places to go especially for oddball fish! Even if it’s just to drop in and look around, the environment is wonderful, there is a large selection, and the staff know their stuff. One of my favorite reasons for coming here is if I have a question and if one staff member might not have an answer then they ask another who might and we all learn something new. If not then they still do their best to help find the answer which is always appreciated. Plus we get to talk about fish so what’s not to love? We always get our fish food from here with the wide variety they have, plus they have goodies for dogs (and I think maybe even cats?) which is an added bonus! It’s definitely a nice, fun place to go to after a long day even if it’s just to browse.

Very large selection of aqualife and most beautiful aquarium setups i have seen. Bought my plants from here for my first ever freshwater aquarium

I was amazed when I walked into this place! Such a variety of fish and reptiles! The reptiles were all healthy and happy, in appropriate sized enclosures, and the staff is very knowledgeable. The price points seemed fair as well. I purchased a baby bearded dragon, whom right off the bat was friendly and not timid. I highly recommend this place, and I have already been back for supplies.

I love this place. I take my kids here to go look around at all the fish and reptiles on hot or rainy days. They also have fairly priced bugs for our bearded at home and they are actually all alive which is hard to find at other pet stores. The staff is very knowledgeable and care about their animals going to good homes.

This is by far my favorite place to get all my fish and fish supplies. The store is full of amazing saltwater and freshwater fish crab shrimp live corral driftwood rocks etc.. they even have imported Koi fish all different sizes. I bought all my koi from there and i have some really nice koi that the owner actually helped me pick out! We like the fact that the entire staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices are also very reasonable. The unique thing is this store is split into two stores a reptile and a aquarium so its super convenient. Love this place i would give it 10 stars if i could

I loved the store layout and the girls and guys working there friendly and knowledgeable. Owners fine. I'll go back.

This was our first time in Aquarium & Reptile Depot and we loved it! They have so many fish and different reptiles that look very healthy. They do a two week health check on the animals before they are up for sale, which I think is great. Their feeders look very healthy and a good variety. Tons of tanks & decor. I am also very impressed by how friendly & attentive all the employees are, and answer any questions we had. Very happy with the staff, variety, prices, and most importantly the care & health of the animals/fish! Will be back soon! Thanks for the great experience!

This is the BEST aquarium & reptile store around! All the employees are friendly....besides the one guy telling my 6 year old to not tease the lizard when he was just looking 🤦‍♀️ Always we'll stocked and open to answering questions. If you need supplies for your fish or reptiles this is the place to go 😊

This place is kinda cool. Wide variety of insects to feed your reptile. Have a wide variety of geckos, breaded dragons and fish.

Pricey but very cool lots of fish coral and anemone selection

This store is absolutely mind blowing… the store is huge and there are so many things to shop for if you are looking for pet supplies/aquarium needs. Their reptile area is amazing too. Lots of cool aquarium plants to choose from and really cool (but expensive) corral structures. 10/10 recommend

This place is awesome. The staff is very friendly. Ask for specific experts for the critter you are looking at 🙂. There are specific employees that know about each section of the place lol. The other employees are fast to tell you that too. When in the aquatics section there is a sign to show you the start of the line if you are ready to get a fish of plant or ask questions about what would work for your tank. I would highly recommend this store.

Beautiful store with an amazing selection of exotic fish, reptiles, and aquarium supplies. Animals were very well cared for, healthy and each tank was spotless. The store's staff were knowledgeable and answered all of my questions regarding upsizing tanks without hesitation. Cannot recommend this place enough.

This is where my daughter and I come for all of her beardie and lizard needs. I've been a customer since they opened for all my goldfish needs, great customer service. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Beautiful displays and helpful staff. Lovely place to visit and purchase all your aquarium and reptile needs.

Great selection of salt water fish. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place.
