Lake Michigan Cichlids

Aquarium shop

SR Aquaristik

Aquarium shop

👍👍 Going above and beyond doesn't even start to describe these guys. Designing a hardscape is difficult, doing it over email is impossible. Well...they did it in a quick, professional, friendly way, accommodating my multiple request until we found the perfect combination (for me). Quality material at a...

Chicago Discus

Aquarium shop

👍👍 Insane to go anywhere else. Cannot beat the quality, selection, price, service and support. Don't buy discus from anywhere else until first visiting Chicago Discus. I live in the burbs and it was an hour drive. That said, if it was 3hrs, it would still be worth it!

650 Oceans Reef Inc

Aquarium shop

👍👍 The owner is super nice and his selection is one of the best around. Especially for people with monster tank’s because he gets some massive fish. I’ve bought several fish from him and will keep coming back

Aqua Pros

Tropical fish store

👍👍 A huge selection of anything you're looking for in the hobby including a diverse selection of corals and fishes at the best prices I've seen anywhere else. I originally started buying plants and freshwater fish for my planted community tank but always was amazed by the corals and saltwater fishes th...

Fish Cave LLC

Pet store

👍👍 Best pet store I have been to. They have the prettiest fish I’ve ever seen and all the fish are super healthy! Always has a lot of stock especially of guppies betas and shrimp. The store is super clean smells good and as well lit. Customer service is always great. Can’t say enough good things about...

Tank It Easy

Aquarium shop

👍👍 I'm just getting into the hobby and I started with freshwater. Everything on their website screams salt but I decided to check them out anyway. As I should have anticipated, their freshwater offerings were definitely second fiddle to the beautiful salt tanks they have set up. That being said, every...

Aquatic Oasis

Aquarium shop

👍👍 I've had another aquarium for about 15 years now so I've been to many aquarium stores and this is truly one of the best, a real gem. Big props to Brandon for following his dream. It's a great place just to chill and dream, get some technical advice, or purchase some super healthy fish.

J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue

Pet store

👍👍 I worked with J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue to adopted a couple land snails and isopods from them. The snails and isopods are thriving in my classroom. They were super easy to work with and very flexible. I was driving up from Milwaukee and the snow kept delaying my trip up. They had no problems adjusti...

Fish Island

Tropical fish store

👍👍 A fantastic local fish store! I came for the first time panicking over my betta fish who was sick with a fungal infection. Alina helped me understand what was happening and thoroughly explained how to give proper treatment. All the fish in the store were lively with clean tanks and good lighting. 10...

Hardy's Aquatics & Pets

So I was still in my checking out new stores faze running around store to store and I thought well ,,, lets go bac...

Aquarium Obsessions

Tropical fish store

👍👍 Amazing store! This is a local business that it is a pleasure to write a glowing review for. It is easy to write a good review for a restaurant that's better than your favorite chain, however when the local small business is one that can stand-up next to the big-boys nationally and compete and sur...

Wet Dreams Aquatics

Pet store

👍👍 It’s about a 40 minute drive for me and only open during my work weekends but when I tell you it is so worth it each and every time I go! Both, I’m assuming owners, always greet you with a friendly smile and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. It’s a fantastic store with even...

The Little Reef Shop

Aquarium shop

Reef Plus

Pet store

👍👍 The owner is very passionate about saltwater aquariums and it really shows. I spent months trying to get 3 other suburban salt water places to help me build a custom tank for my dental/orthodontic office and they were NO help! Steve (owner) was totally opposite. He had an awesome plan and proposal t...

Sanctuary Aquatics

Aquarium

👍👍 This is by far the nicest aquarium store I’ve been to especially for saltwater and corals. I instantly had a smile on my face when I first walked in. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff that is there to help. Highly recommend checking them out.

Big Kahuna Tropical Fish & Aquarium Maintenance Service

Aquarium shop

😠 Extremely disappointed. Horrible service. I've spent the last 8 months trying to get a tank from this shop. I've put my name and number on the magical list only to be ignored. How can I reccomend a shop when they can't even sell you anything. Unfortunately in this area there is very little com...

Reefwise

Tropical fish store

👍👍 Great lfs for all your saltwater needs. The guys are very knowledgeable and can offer great advice, tanks are clean, fish and coral look healthy and the owner is always available by phone.

Ocean Reef's Den (ORD) Aquatics

Tropical fish store

😠 Thieves! Reserved a tank to pick up via PayPal, then had to cancel a few days later. When I asked for a refund all communication stopped and I never got my money back! My phones calls and emails were ignored. I know my emails were opened because I attached a tracker alerting me if they have been rea...
