Ethan's Exotic Pets & Aquatics (formerly Aquatic Planet)

I can’t say enough good things about Ethan’s Pet Store. I’ve purchased fish, pets and supplies from Ethan multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about the animals and his customers. He takes the time to answer questions and make sure you’re set up for success. It’s clear this isn’t just a business to him — it’s a passion. Highly recommend to anyone looking for healthy fish and top-quality service!

Love this pet store! they take very good care of their animals and have all the information you need to care well for your own fish! over the past few months i’ve purchased a mini pig, hatchling sulcata tortoise, and a blue crayfish, as well as few cool other fish. they have made great additions to our family, and they have all stayed healthy and thrived in our home. I believe the success is because the animals were all started off great and cared for well by Ethan’s.

I had a great experience at this unique hands-on exotic animal shop. It’s a passion driven business run by a 21-year-old full-time Clemson student who clearly cares deeply about his animals. He also rescues older and specialty exotics with some serving as long-term educational ambassadors. This level of commitment really stands out. The animals were well cared for and he was knowledgeable, transparent and focused on placing them in prepared homes. Pricing was fair for the quality and special species offered. It’s an authentic and educational place built with true dedication. I’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful local business to buy supplies for your exotic pets or to find your next one! Ethan is knowledgeable, helpful, and cares for the exotics. Shop is clean, organized, and welcoming! He carries a wide variety of fish, rabbits, birds, turtles, reptiles, feeders, etc..! Be sure to say Hi to VADER his amazing Water Monitor while you shop!

As a busy medical practice, we’re considering adding an aquarium to create a calming environment for our patients and staff, and this store has been an incredible resource. The aquatic displays are beautifully maintained, and the team is knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about animal care. It’s also become one of our favorite places to decompress after a long day. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a tank to their home or office.
