- Excellent #29733
omg! the best place ever.
their fishes are almost always healthy! they never give you a sick fish and i have never sern a dead fish in any of their display tanks!
amazing place to kill time. they have reef tanks which you can just keep staring at it all day! oh theres this indoor pond and trust me this pond keeps the little ones busy while u browse. isnt that amazing. if you ask they even give u a small amount of fish food to feed the pond fishes. cannot think of any store which does that!!
knowledgable staff.
great choice of products and fishes (botj fresh water and marine)
always had a fresh water tank but this place inspires me to have a small reef tank of my own!

Best selection in the area. As some others have noted the prices are a bit high but I don't mind paying for the expertise and quality. My only issue is on a recent trip I asked for a Plectranthias Inermis after selecting a few small peppermint shrimp. I'd already described my tank and asked if the Plectranthias inermis would be alright in the tank (considering tankmates/corals etc). The gentlemen helping me said "it should be fine" and I thought nothing of it. Once everything was acclimated and placed in my tank the Plectranthias inermis immediately ate one of the new shrimp. Anyone who owns a reef tank knows how difficult/impossible it is to get small shrimp (much less a fish) out of an established system. Day after day the Plectranthias inermis ate another $12 shrimp! I could have saved the cost of several expensive snacks if I was warned! Meanwhile, several forums warn about the Plectranthias inermis' tendency to eat any shrimp that will fit in its mouth. Like I sad, I don't mind paying extra for quality and expertise but this left a bad taste in my mouth (and an expensive one in my new fish's!)

tl;dr Trust "it should be fine" at your own peril and ALWAYS GOOGLE no matter what the staff tells you.

The staff and fish are top quality but the prices are nuts. They are about 30% higher on avg than what you can get items for on Amazon. They have a great selection of marine fish but light on freshwater especially cichlids. If you want cichlids go to The Fish Hut on RT 46. They have a killer selection of cichlids and they don't want to get rich off every customer.

- Poor #29736
Store is very nicely setup, large selection of freshwater and marine fish, plants and inverts. Associates are knowledgable and helpful. Major negative is they do not guarantee their livestock for any period, and they do not advertise this fact clearly. It IS printed small kn the receipt, however. This, though is a horrible practice, and is frustrating for the advanced aquarist who spends a large sum of time and money to perfect a tank, only to lose an expensive fish because it wasn't observed or it was sick to begin with. The inflated prices and poor customer service will deter me from shopping here in the future. Aquaridise on hwy 18 is a much better choice. They have a 14 day guarantee on livestock and will inform you if you are purchasing something that falls outside that guarantee.

This place is probably the best for the marine species but not very good for freshwater ones especially Cichlids. Their Cichlids are small, overpriced and very limited in variety. I went there several times but never found an african cichlid charming enough and yet suitable for a 40g tank (size-wise). The entire store is way overpriced in comparison with other places.
