š£ļø Finatics Aquarium: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Mike, youāre awesome! We had such a great time buying fishāthank you for your incredible retail hospitality! Youāre personable, fun, and clearly passionate about what you do. Your tanks are the cleanest weāve seen anywhere in the GTA, and the whole experience was a breath of fresh air. Itās so rewarding to support an independent small business like yours instead of the big box stores. More people need to discover your store and experience the differenceāyouāre doing something truly special! We will be back! Stacey & Steve, Orangeville, Ontario
Thank you so much for the great words and support! Nice meeting you and your husband too! Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Thanks! Mb
Fantastic experience: Please save your time!!! Do not go anywhere else but HERE. I am new to the world of aquatics and I want to at least 10 different stores asking multiple questions. Finatics one of the few places where they showed patience and passion. Never brushed me away no matter how entry level my questions were. Every single staff in that store is helpful. I come from Vaughan just to do business here at Finatics. Shoutout to Abby as well!
Fantastic experience: We're new to the world of aquariums, and over the past two weeks, we've visited several places like Big Al's and PetSmart. However, Finatics has definitely stood out as the cleanest and most organized. We went to check this store out today, JUNE 28 and they have a great variety of fish, and everything is well-maintained. The staff is also really knowledgeable. We were assisted by a young man, probably a teenager or in his early 20s, who was very patient and gave us lots of helpful information. Weāll definitely be returning!
Thank you for the good words and the review. Much appreciated. Mb
Positive experience: Finatics is easily amongst the best fish stores in GTA outside of NAFB and Kowloon... good stock of cichlids...usually great quality.... price could be 15 - 20% lower.....
Thankyou for the good words and the review. We always offer a buy 5 get 1 free deal and our fish are often cared for more so than most stores which reflects in the price. We pride ourselves in quality not price but we can sometimes offer you a better deal so just ask. Mb
Fantastic experience: This store is the best. The staff are very knowledgeable and the customer service is excellent. As someone new to the hobby, I really appreciate the help I have received from staff. The animals are healthy and well cared for. I highly recommend this store.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! We appreciate it! Mb
Fantastic experience: Best place to buy fishes. Owner is extremely polite and nice. One stop shop for all your aquascaping needs. Would totally recommend to anyone close to GTA to check out this beautiful store.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Very much appreciated. See you again! Mb
Fantastic experience: Store was so clean, tanks were all spotless, prices were very reasonable compared to other pet stores. Signage for all fish was well done and informative. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, very willing to help and offer advice and assistance with any of my questions.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Glad you enjoyed your experience with us! Mb
Fantastic experience: Tanks are so clean & beautiful with very healthy well stocked tanks. The best fish store Iāve ever been in. Gorgeous aquatic plants and so much supplies youāll not need to go to another store. The staff were super awesome and gave me the info I asked for and didnāt rush me to leave at closing which was very nice and unexpected! Iām very excited and looking forward to purchasing from here and having it shipped to Saskatchewan!
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Glad you found us when you came to visit! Thanks again. Mb
Fantastic experience: Big store, a lot of stuff and fish. You will find there what you want.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. M
Fantastic experience: Amazing store, Friendly staffs, very clean store. I recommend this store
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Appreciated. M
Fantastic experience: Great service and price. Very knowledgeable staff and all the tanks are super clean. Very impressive
Thanks for the good words and the review! Appreciated! M
Negative experience: 5 star for the fish tho. They are hardy and strong. Unlike big ALs. The fish from here are unique, good selection and donāt die on you. Can survive transport and are confident fish. They donāt hide and have great appetite. Store was ok, along with the quality of fish. Staff consistently ignore you and you have to wait 35 minutes before you are helped. Luckily after 45 minutes of waiting a super nice guy just started his shift and helped us out. Heās the only reason this post is getting two stars. Otherwise it would be a 1star review. Constantly understaffed, trash management and the staff had to adept bad attitudes just to get through the shift of constant over working. Shift manager should be disappointed in themselves and should be hiring more staff.
Sorry to read this review and see that you are not happy with the service. We will try to accommodate you better next time but for the future please ASK us if you need help, there are always too many things that need done and just like most independant stores we dont have the budget to hire extra staff... times are tough and we appreciate your business and support. Thanks, M
Negative experience: Iāve been a customer here before, but unfortunately, this store isnāt what it used to be. The staff felt dismissive both on the phone and in personānot the welcoming or helpful experience you'd hope for when dealing with live animals. The real disappointment came after purchasing a group of Tetras. I noticed visible bruising on some fish right after acclimating them. I called the store immediately and was told it was āfineā and they'd recover. Less than 24 hours later, 3 of them were dead in my well-established, stable aquarium with perfect water parameters and other fish. Quality and customer care seem to have dropped significantly. Sadly, I wonāt be returning after this experience.
Sorry you had a bad experience with us and I'm not sure what you mean by "bruising" on a fish... if any fish is "sick" we dont sell them as we quarantine everything and in all fairness I guess you missed seeing the bruising on the fish too? We always try aim to please everyone with our service too but just like everyone we have our "off" days. We will try to be more accommodating for the future. Sorry once again. M
Fantastic experience: This is a great place, lots of selection of both fish and plants. The customer service and pricing were also good.
Thankyou for the review and the good words. Appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service! Super knowledgeable and helpful. Ordered several fish and a couple plants. Mike was very organized and I received my beautiful Keyhole Cichlids which I had been looking for. This shop is amazing to work with and they have a huge inventory.
Thanks Linda for your online order! Glad everything made it safely and you are happy with your purchase! Mb
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend purchasing from here, Iāve purchased some amazing uncommon fish from here. The owner is great, very knowledgeable and great to speak with.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! See you again! Mb
Fantastic experience: They have quality,healthy fish and great prices ,and friendly staff, I recommend going to finatics aquarium
Thankyou for the good words and the review! M
Positive experience: Tanks look very clean and fish look healthy. Lighting is good so you can actually see in the place. They have a decent selection but sometimes hard to know what youāre looking at because of the mixed tanks and unlabelled. Prices are a little steep but I guess if someone wants to spend the money then it is what it is.
Thankyou for the review and if you find a price is a bit high please talk to us as sometimes we can negotiate! Also about the confusing part with the fish, we dont always label new fish right away as we like them to settle in and adjust to their new temporary home or if there are a few if this and that we just sell them as "assorted" but ask and we will be happy to assist you. Thanks again! M
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Finatics! When I got into fish keeping, I quickly realized that PetSmart wasnāt going to cut it - I needed more variety. Thatās when I went on my search for a better fish shop and started coming here. Johnny quickly became a friendly face that we saw often. He is hardworking, knowledgeable and just a great asset to the company! We always know we are in good hands when heās around. The owner is also very friendly and will answer any questions you have. Every single time we come in, someone is cleaning a tank. They love their fish and it shows! They have been very helpful and I love all the different products they carry here :) will be back many times over!!
Thankyou for the great review and we look forward to seeing you again! Thanks! M
Positive experience: Great place to find fishes and shrimps that you won't find in other stores. Downside the price is a bit high, but I guess it make sense for the huge place they have and maintenance.
Thanks for the review and support. Appreciated. M
Fantastic experience: Healthy fish, friendly and informative staff, and good store upkeep. Glad to have found such a good shop.
Thanks for the good words and the review. M
Fantastic experience: Friendly and informative staff. Great selection of live plants. Also has a few rare fish that the competitors do not have, so definitely worth the trip. Great place to browse and good store hours.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: This store has the fish well treated and the staff is very helpful and informed.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Mb
Fantastic experience: Thankful we found this amazing aquatic store! The staff gave us great knowledge on our new fish and fresh water plants!
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: This store is fantastic for aquarium enthusiasts of all levels. The staff is highly knowledgeable and passionate about the hobby, and many, if not all of them have aquariums at home, which really shows in their expertise. They have a great selection of fish, plants, rocks, dĆ©cor, and supplies, all of excellent quality. Even when the store is busy, they always take the time to help and offer great advice. Prices are reasonable, and the overall experience has been great. I'm really glad I found this place early on in my aquarium journeyādefinitely a top spot for any hobbyist!
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Very much appreciated! M
Fantastic experience: Visited again last Sunday and was impressed with the renovations. This store is 2hrs from my home and trust me, its worth the drive. Great selection for just about anyone, but as a keeper of strictly Tanganyikan Cichlids, their selection has to be the best in Ontario (possibly Canada). The staff are great, knowledgeable but I want to give a special mention to Sam, who was amazing and went above and beyond. You can tell Mike takes pride in his store, tanks are clean, organized and grouped well. Looking forward to my next visit.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! We appreciate your business! Mb
Fantastic experience: This is one of the most cleanest aquariums Iāve visited. The general manager or lead staff was amazing and the rest of the staff sound so happy to be working there 10/10 recommend this unique location. Got my two platinum discus here and they are thriving so beautifully.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Appreciated. M
Fantastic experience: Great experience, very knowledgeable and give some wonderful recommendations for all of my aquarium concerns. HUGE selection as well. Got what I needed and what I wanted. Side note: I got a ph raising stone, chrry shrimp and a mystery snail.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Appreciate it. Mb
Negative experience: Went there. Their website isnt even updated. They didnt have half the stock they said they do. Waste of a drive. And good care of fish? Most of the tanks had multiple dead fish. Ive seen chain petstores have less dead fish.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Our website is mostly up to date "but" you should always call to make sure whatever you want is available as livestock selection varies from day to day and being a small business owner we dont always have the time to update things quickly. We try to do the best we can to accommodate everything. Hopefully you will try us again. M
Fantastic experience: Visited this store a month ago or so. Found the person there to be honest and sincere. I think the gentleman's name was Amir. Provided me with some advice/guidance so that I could purchase some fish for my tank, whilst ensuring that I do not purchase more than my tank can accommodate. This gentleman went above and beyond by sharing insights on their business amongst actually a free plant!!
Thankyou for the good words and the review. We appreciate it! Mb
Negative experience: Fish came in healthy, had a couple delays in shipping was given different reasons of why. Then was told I would be refunded for shipping due to delays, which never happened.
Sorry you had a bad experience with the "online order". Unfortunately we cannot control shipping as we use a courier service and delays can and do happen and especiallyat this time of year. We always try to work with the customers with all purchases so please talk to the owner about this and we will work with you for a deal on your next order. Hope to hear from you by phone call... ps the owner does not work weekends so call during the week and ask for Mike. Thanks again. M
Fantastic experience: An amazing store, the store itself was very clean, the tanks were immaculate, and they staff were super friendly. The fish selection was excellent and they all looked very healthy.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Gem of a fishstore. The tanks are clean, healthy fish, and knowledgeable attentive staff. I can't believe it took me so long to find this shop! Lots of parking. Best selection of fish I've seen in a long time! If you are into fish, and haven't been... What are you waiting for? If you're not yet into fish... This is the place you need to visit as your jumping off point! This is absolutely one of the top fish stores in the GTA.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Glad you enjoyed your visit with us! M
Fantastic experience: Very clean well maintained fish store. Lots of quality gear and healthy livestock. Give yourself time to look around as there is lots to see.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Appreciated. M
Fantastic experience: Best aquarium store in the GTA Very knowledgeable and helpful with all you fish keeping needs
Fantastic experience: Mike is super helpful and will advise you according to your needs. Great aquarium. Never cease to amaze me with the quality of fish in store.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding quality of both fish and plants. One stop shop for all aquarium needs. Great selection of products too. Very happy with my recent purchases. Knowledgeable friendly staff.
Thanks for the review! M
Fantastic experience: Always hopeful and knowledgable as well pricey but u know your getting quality owner Can be stiff on prices and returns other than that always #1 go to
Fantastic experience: Great experience. They had the koi Betta fish which I couldn't find anywhere else. The staff member was super helpful as well.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful employees, great stock with a variety of healthy looking aquatic options. We didn't catch the name of the person who helped us- he has a shrimp farm we would have followed on Instagram if we had it! Inspired us to want to try a shrimp farm for the next set up. When this happens we will definitely be returning to this location for our purchases. The fish love the moss coconut and shells we purchased. Great location.
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Selection is great and staff really helpful. Vary clean. Fish vary well taken care of 0 issues after purchasing. Everything about this place is 10 stars plus nothing negative to say at all!
Fantastic experience: HUGE selection of plants here and all sorts of shrimps. Picked up my first shrimp and the owner was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and helpful!
Fantastic experience: I found this place by chance and this is now my go to for everything to do with fish. The fish are healthy and the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.
Fantastic experience: The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. There is a wide range of fish to choose and pricing is good.
Negative experience: It's the second time I bought fishes from them... first time very next day fishes started dying.. even after following proper process of transferring from bag to acquarium. I called couple of times as I lost entire batch of 8 fishes in 1 week... they blamed me.. I thought may be I did something wrong.. Yesterday I went again and bought another batch.. to my surprise they have started dying again. :( all my old fishes and one from other stores are fine...just from them keep dying. Messaged them on Instagram last time.. no response. Never going back.
Fantastic experience: Always shop there while in Mississauga, place is super clean, great prices, and Mike is an awesome guy. A+
Fantastic experience: After my tank has been established for more than 2 weeks I guess I could give a honest review. The store is really spacious, clean and easy to shop but the label on the tanks could give more details and instructions, I could only understand their system after I quickly talked to Mike the owners. The variation of species and tank set up are all really impressive, this store actually motivates me to go back to the hobby after I was so busy with life for a while. Price is reasonable considering you will have healthier fishes. I have all rock and plants from them - love the plants on driftwood even it is on the pricer price. I get all my fish from here too like my picture of my tank I posted here, mostly they survive and thrilling except some but it is my mistake of not doing my research and my tank is too new. The other Mike is really helpful I enjoy to talk to him a lot, and Sammy the helper is a great guy too. The only thing I wish Mike the owner could open to talk more and sharing more since I know he has been running the store for greatness for so long
Fantastic experience: Was in the store today to pick up some corydorasā¦.I was impressed with the amount of fish and everything looked super healthyā¦prices were good as wellā¦highly recommend stopping by if looking for fish, cichlid selection was impressiveā¦..my new favorite aquarium store!
Thanks for the good words and the review! See you again! Mb

Thankyou for the good words and the review! Much appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: I was in town for an exam and had a minute to kill afterwards. It is a really, really nice clean shop. The owner was very busy and still took time to answer some of my questions. I even heard him grill a guy about his setup before he would sell him certain cichlids(respect). I asked him about some nano fish and the super cute girl working there came over to help and was really informed and helpful. Ya gotta love beautiful "fish enthusiast" girls.
Thanks for dropping in and also leaving us a nice review! Hope we become your new regular go to store! Cheers.. mb
Fantastic experience: great selection of products, staff is wonderful and knowledgable!! It's worth the drive, but I wish there was a Finatics in Kitchener.....business would be crazy. We only have PetSmart and a Big Al's here for all our aquarime needs

Thankyou for the good words and the review, appreciated! Mb
Negative experience: WARNING...Not impressed...after reading all the positive reviews...I thought this store would have lots of selection... The store has many tank's...BUT unfortunately very few fish in most of them...poor selection !! Several tank's also had fish "not for sale" due to fish being sick (appeared sick)...other tanks had dead fish floating around (is it that difficult to catch and remove dead fish???...store wasn't busy and had staff around)...others had price tags that said "NO Guarantee" I was shocked to see tank's also had signs saying "NO PICKS"...what's with that??? Lazy staff/management??? Tank's have very few fish to chase !! POOR customer service/NO customer appreciation !!! (I NEVER had an issue at Bigals/others asking for a specific fish !!) Where is customer service at this store??? Shame!!! As for..."Live" Plants...ALL looked like the leaves were melting...plants way over priced...some $39.99...I wouldn't pay $1.00 for any plant !!...in fact...even if free...I wouldn't waist my time trying to plant !!! I think many reviews for this store are from staff, family and friends... First and last visit...I'll stick with Bigals/others...better selection, quality, price...and a points program's to boot!! ***UPDATE to owners review response below: No mention of outrageous prices for plants melting...$39+ tells it all... Other stores do mark the "ODD" tank "new arrival - not for sale" Fish purchased at other fish/pet store's are healthy and doing well...thanks !! I'm not ONLY referring to fish purchased at Bigals !!!...and I DON'T work at a fish/pet store...have kept fish for 30+ years as a hobby... Other businesses have how many locations???...PROVEN...price, selection, QUALITY and customer service !!! As for your comment "jealous what you built"...LOL...anyone can keep water in tanks !!! Good luck with your business !!
Wow.... I'm not sure when exactly you were in but unlike most stores we mark our tanks with "new Arrivals" as NFS (not forsale) so that we can quarantine our fish to ensure they are healthy before selling them to customers. Secondly we cannot import new fish and put them with existing fish so some tanks were empty as we were awaiting another shipment of fish. We pride in selling quality livestock and like every store I have been in I too see the odd dead or sick fish as it's inevitable. As for fish marked as "no guarantee and no picking", this is because of how delicate the fish are and its not because of poor customer service but more of how we care for the fish. In most cases all the fish are similar looking and sizes and if someone says they want the biggest ones we say NO because we care about not stressing out the fish because if we chase fish around the tank trying to catch the exact ones you want we risk the entire tank getting stressed out and dying so how is this considered poor customer service? It's not always about your needs but more so the well being of the animals. Some people like you should learn about animal husbandry and care. Our positive reviews speak for themselves. Most times people who leave bad reviews are people who work in other stores and are jealous of what we have built! Good luck in your fish keeping endeavors and please learn about the business and how and why we do things a certain way. Mb
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place great people amazing fish why shop anywhere else when the fish are healthy and priced reasonable. We have been going since they opened.
Thanks for the good words and the review. Appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: What an amazing store. So many tanks with such a variety of fish, flora, inverts, tanks, accessories, food... On and on. Very helpful staff as well helped me out with getting some shrimps for the tank I made for my kids! Highly recommend you check them out if you're in the GTA!
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Much appreciated.
Negative experience: When a entered the store to look around I saw many workers concentrated on the fish but not too concentrating customer service because letās face it keeping a beautiful and clean shop doesnāt pay the bills You could have gotten a sale that day but no one was really asking me for any assistance like other shops do Personal note to owner is have your employees concentrate on customers and not on the fish which they do when they have time because the shop wasnāt really busy at the time there where maybe 3 customers in total at the time Try bid alās way which is customer service first and fish later. Good like with your method
Sorry you had a bad experience at the store. Most times we are on the ball with customer service and maybe we just missed you as things happen but you can always speak up and ask us too as we are very friendly and aim to please! Thanks for the review and hopefully next time your visit will be be more enjoyable. Mb
Positive experience: It's an incredibly clean facility with great fish and product selection !! That being said, they will never earn more than a 3 star from me. Because once you are in the store, they don't care about you and good luck getting someone's attention.
Sorry that you had a bad experience with us... hopefully next time it will be more enjoyable. Mb
Fantastic experience: Great staff, great selection of fish. I purchased my cichlids from here and stocked up my aquarium. All healthy fish. It's not a corporate store, so the customer service is excellent and personable.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: Very nice store, friendly staff. Lots of healthy looking freshwater fish. Nice selection of clean healthy plants. Would definitely recommend. Oh and tons of nice freshwater shrimp.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. Mb
Fantastic experience: I have been a customer of Finatics for more than 1 year now. Their fishes are healthy, store is very clean and has no bad smell at all. Their prices are reasonable and they share their knowldege if you ask them for advice. I went this time to buy a hideout for my kuhli loaches but ended up buying a ceramic stone cave instead which replaced my decor. My betta and kuhlis LOVE the stone cave. They go and hide inside it altogether. I will keep buying fishes and aquarium needs from Finatics. So worth the drive there.
Thanks for the good words and the review! Appreciated! Mb
Fantastic experience: The fishes here look happy and healthy. The plants are great too! Iām a first time aquarium owner looking to start my aquascaping journey. Johnny was very helpful and gave me tips on what to do and what not to.
Thanks for the good words and the review, much appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Finatics Aquarium! The manager and employees provided exceptional customer service. They went above and beyond by not only helping us set up our tank but also generously providing all the supplies we needed for my kindergarten classroom which was also free of charge! One of the employees, Abby, was so passionate and informative about the fish. Her knowledge, friendliness, and willingness to assist was truly outstanding! This all made it a memorable and positive visit to the store. My students are SO happy that we now have pet fish in our class. We couldn't be happier thanks to the team at Finatics Aquarium!
Thankyou so much for the great words and the review! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear the kids are happy too! Thanks, mb
Positive experience: Really cool place to buy fish and aquarium accessories. Staff is pretty friendly and down to earth. Lots of selection to choose from. I've bought two tanks, a stand and all the trimmings from here. I would recommend this place if you are interested in anything fish related!
Thank you for the good words and the support and the review. Mb
Fantastic experience: So I have been a customer of theres for about 5 years on and off because I got curious about saltwater. So since they deal in freshwater i was mostly buying filter floss and food. Maintence stuff. I got the bug again for freshwater plantted tank with nano fish. SAM and Mike couldn't of been more helpful. Both those guys have alot of knowledge and pass it down in a way I can understand. I get a sense there not there to just have you spend spend spend. The stores well kept and growing. I will definetly be a future customer thanks to those two. Even thou its a 20 min drive down the highway and i got a big als like two blocks away. Im a Finatic !
Thanks so much for the detailed review and the support! I will definitely let the guys know how pleased you are with their service and knowledge. Mb
Fantastic experience: Was an excellent place to buy variety of fishes. Never seen a huge collection of frontosa. I was helped by the employee to choose the best fit for my tank and showed me a variety to choose from. Definitely looking forward to buy more fishes from here.
Thankyou for the good words and the review. See you again soon. Mb
Fantastic experience: The best aquarium store that I have found. The quality of the livestock is second to none. They have a fantastic selection of rare and hard to find species. I would definitely recommend checking this place out

Fantastic experience: I think this is the best store in ontario to buy fish from the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They also have very healthy fish and they keep the store clean. Had these parrot fish for 2 years with no problems and the severums have been added a few months back with no issues thanks to these guys I've been loving my 120 gallon
Thanks for the good words and the review! Much appreciated. Mb

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome aquarium store. They had a very large selection of fresh water fish. There was a good mix of cichlids from all around the world, lots of other great freshwater fish. The fish I got from Finatics were healthy and didn't cause any issues in my tanks. The staff were also friendly and knowledgeable.
Thanks for the good words and the review! Much appreciated! Mb
Fantastic experience: Great store, great selection, great service. Appears to specialize in African cichlids, but nonetheless has a good selection of interesting community fish along with one of the best selections of South American cichlids (including Apistogramma and similar species) in the GTA. Very highly recommended.
Thankyou for the good words and the review! Mb
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best aquarium hobby store! Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and took time to explain everything I needed... even double bagged my fish for the long drive, The large store truly is exemplary, jaw dropping really, compared to many. I look forward to visiting again.
Thanks agin for coming down from Kingston Jon! Glad everything was ok too and thanks for the good words, the support and the review! See you again soon! Mb
Fantastic experience: Bought some fish from a local guy which were put in a bucket and given to me. Went to Finatics and asked if the fish could be bagged since they would be in the bucket for around 8 hours and won't make it. Immediately Randy the supervisor said bring them in and got to it. The service was impeccable. Thank you so much for the help you provided to bring the fish home safely. They have a very good selection of fish, accessories and food. I would recommend this shop for anyone. Even worth just to pass by. In short the best shop in Ontario
Thanks for the good words and the review! We definitely try to go above and beyond to help anyone out! Mb
Fantastic experience: Love this shop, they recently expanded and has become a much bigger shop where you could easily browse for a while. Staff is top notch, have always helped me out. Don't be hesitant to share your aquarium setup pictures with the staff, they'll definitely give you a good advice
Thank you so much for the good words and the review. Much appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: Great store with lots of variety in fishes and no shortage of plants or stocking options. The Staff is very friendly and helpful and my overall experience was great. Prices are bit high but it makes sense for the quality you get. Hours could be a bit longer and some more stones and driftwood options could also be great
Thankyou for the good words, the review and the support. Much appreciated. Our selection is continuously growing as our store has recently expanded so keep an eye out for more new things to come! Everything takes time and I promise a greater selection in the upcoming months! Mb

Fantastic experience: I visited the store on Boxing Day. Boy, was it ever busy! I have to say, I've never seen a cleaner operation, especially when in a retail establishment that sells live beings. Not only are the tanks super clean, the rest of the store is as well. And the shelves are so well organized! The owner is super knowledgeable and can certainly help you with any questions you have.
Thanks for the good words and the review... much appreciated... nice to see people who noti e all the details! Thanks again...mb

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic first experience at this location. Was referred by a close friend to go here and I'm beyond happy/impressed. Great customer service and the gentleman I dealt with today was very friendly and knowledgeable. I got My 5 oto cats, pest snails and some jave fern. Great price and amazing customer service. My one and only aquarium and fish shot from now on.
Thanks for the good words and the review! Very much appreciated. Mb
Fantastic experience: 5 stars + The whole team is very helpful. Randy went out of his way while he was extremely busy to bag up a couple fish I had bought elsewhere, that were poorly packaged. Shows that these guys care more about their Hobby over making sales. With paying customers waiting, he rebagged fish that didn't even come from his store just to ensure they had a chance of getting home. Did I mention the Venezuelan corydoras I scored too!? Sincerely, Your newest Loyal customer !
Thankyou for the good words and the review! We always try to go above and beyond! Mb
