★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda Ahrndt · Oct 2025

Fantastic fish store. Half saltwater and half freshwater. Plants and hard goods too. Really clean tanks. Excellent selection. Highly recommend!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sarah Reynolds · Sep 2025

Large aquarium shop with good selection and helpful staff. We bought a betta fish and love it, he started eating the same night. However, did see at least two dead bettas and another that appeared sick (something on the fins) during our visit 😞 The one we got was one that was swimming around in one of their other large tanks and not the betta area because we were afraid to buy one from those that might have shared the same water. Also got some plants

I will never come back! Be careful what you buy here! Bought 2 300watt heaters that’s aren’t working correctly with my tank. Used for 10 hrs they won’t return any product that’s been open and used.. basically if your filter/ heaters doesn’t work your sol..

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Christine Powers · Mar 2023

Pretty big store! No nanofish really if you're into that sort of thing. Pretty wide variety of fish but not as many as I thought. It looks like they aren't quite done setting up. Arrows on the floor to create some sort of direction for people to walk and view the tanks because it gets difficult to walk down an aisle when they're is just people standing in the middle and there's trying to look. Have a number ticketing system for people who are interested in fish from a tank so they can grab the number and wait outside of the isles while an employee frees up to be able to help them. But sweet fish otherwise. Tons of tank accessories

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Tom S · Nov 2025

Entrance is near back of address. Interior shop was clean and tanks looked well maintained for the most part. The associate was professional and polite but very difficult to locate. Granted it was mid afternoon during the week but there were maybe 5 customers standing around and it took 10 minutes maybe more for someone to appear and then I think it was only by accident as they seemed genuinely surprised to be asked for assistance. Regrettably, I put back my purchase and just went shopping elsewhere.
