Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful inside owner very pleasant and knowledgeable

Experiencia fantástica: Milly does a great job with this mainly saltwater fish store. Helpful and pleasant people with helpful advice to boot!! If you haven't stopped, you should.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has been my go-to for all my marine aquarium needs for over 15 years. Love Jason and Milly!

Experiencia fantástica: Good people i candy inside

Experiencia fantástica: GF and I stopped just to look. Tanks were spotless and all creatures looked extremely well taken care of. Place was very clean and tidy. Worker was what looked like testing water ( I know nothing about salt setups) with another customer so we went able to chat. She had some testing supplies and reference material out. Looked like she was very knowledgeable just from overhearing their conversation. I also liked they had text books available to learn. I will definitely stop back when I take the plunge into saltwater.

Experiencia fantástica: Milly and Aries (the African Grey bird) strike me as phenomenal owners and I was so immensely impressed with the shop that I had to immediately write this review upon leaving. From the fish, to the coral, to the bird, and the reptiles, it is clear that the owners are not only very knowledgeable on animal care and aquatics, but also genuinely care about their animals welfare. I will 100% be traveling the 2 hours from Ithaca to purchase fish, corals, and equipment from Milly for Cornell Veterinary College's aquatic animal health program.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful place with tons of options! I love this store! I do recommend avoiding the lady she is not very friendly but everyone else that works there is wonderful and super helpful! Best saltwater fish store in Rochester hands down!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently visited Caribbean Forest, and I couldn't be more impressed with my experience! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. Their expertise truly saved my fish tank!

I highly recommend Caribbean Forest to anyone looking for quality aquatic life and outstanding customer service!

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love the smell of this place. I know that's weird to say :) but it's so clean and organized (unlike some fish places, the floor is wet, you can't find anyone to help, etc). I went in yesterday for some springtails for my geicko enclosure, and I got immediate help, suggestions, and great conversation about animals and what would be good to use for my little friends. Would definitely recommend a look!

She always goes out of her way to inform me and teach me about new things about the hobby. She’s is always so nice and a prime example of a hard working business owner. Jason is a lot of help too and has a endless amount of knowledge about the hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: Great to deal with

Experiencia negativa: Was verbally harassed by the owner completely out of the blue upon leaving being called weird and "acting like a child" for taking nonflash totally distanced photos of afew fish I especially liked. (There was no sign or notion this was not allowed) additionally I saw a few dead fish and she rudely told me to get out of the way to dispose it assumingly as she continued to say how weird I was for using my phone. Felt extremely uncomfortable and will not be doing business there ever.

Experiencia fantástica: Biggest saltwater fish and coral shop in the Rochester area. The owner is super friendly and very helpful. Bought my Benggai Cardinal and Jack-o-Lantern lepto from here.

Experiencia fantástica: Gem for salt water aquarium hobbyists

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly folks

Experiencia fantástica: Jason and Millie are fantastic. I have always wanted a saltwater tank but was afraid that I wouldn't be able to manage one. About one year ago this month they hooked me up with an evo 13.5 gallon tank and walked me through everything from live rock selection, cycling, when to add fish and which fish would be happy in my tank. They helped me pick and purchase additional accessories and maintenance supplies. My tank is flourishing with awesome corals and all my original fish! Thank you guys so much for helping me succeed with saltwater!!!

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best all around saltwater aquarium shop that I have been to. They really do have everything. The tanks are really clean and they have a huge selection of corals in all different price ranges which I appreciated. They have a ton of beginner corals which many shops seem to skip out on to some degree. They also have a great selection of higher end stuff. I thought the prices were fair overall, and better than some other shops in the area. The owner was really helpful as well. I will definitely be returning. They even have reptiles upstairs!

Experiencia fantástica: This place has some of the best customer service and selection of corals you could imagine. It’s worth going to Rochester for these reasons alone.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience , super friendly and very helpful. Great prices.

Experiencia fantástica: Its a Cool place but easy to miss if you've never been before. With Saltwater downstairs & Reptiles upstairs it's a good combo for those in the hobbies

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to every reef shop there is in upstate New York from Rochester to buffalo and Jason and his team at Caribbean forest by far have the cleanest and organized reef shop, I drive an hour out of the way and have for the last 3 years. They have the upmost professionalism when it comes to customer service! If you have any questions about the hobby or need help in any way they will be more than willing to guide you onto the right path. Overall an outstanding shop!

Experiencia positiva: Nice stuff, staff could be more helpful! Otherwise great.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good Saltwater Fish World We like Owners Very friendly Atmosphere

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down my favorite reef shop in Rochester. Always feel taken care of when going to Caribbean Forest..Idk about you, but I'm constantly looking at corals and fish online. So the prices at this store are comparable and i feel like I'm not over paying for something when i go here..

Experiencia fantástica: A++++++ very friendly and have just about everything in stock

Experiencia fantástica: Great place with great people and a nice selection of fish and corals. My go to spot for inverts also

Experiencia positiva: Decent selection although their live rock is pretty limited at this time (fair amount of manufactured rock though). Fish and tanks generally appear healthy. Hardware selection is a bit less than it used to be but that makes sense with more people purchasing online.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendliest fish shop around! The owner and his wife are the nicest people to do business with! Large selection of every saltwater fish imaginable. I had been searching for a mcoskers wrasse for a while and decided to order one with the store, i got an absolutely stunning male mcoskers wrasse at a very good price! Love this store and i will continue to give them my business!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this store!

Have yet to buy any corals from them but already have some ideas..looking forward to giving them my buisness. The owners are great and don't talk down to customers as I have experienced at other shops (freshwater). Overall the past 2 visit have been great. Already excited for our next visit as we won't be leaving without a coral.

Experiencia fantástica: Great shop for saltwater fish and corals. Helpful staff when needed. They let you browse around at your pace and are ready to help when asked. Stock a bunch of fish and corals, various supplies and test kits. Will do custom orders if needed. My go-to show in Rochester.

Experiencia fantástica: They care about your tank and the health of the animals instead of being in it for the money. All the people there are super nice and will help you out anytime!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for anything Marine aquarium! Can't say enough good things about it!

Experiencia positiva: Beautiful sal water fish place.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing! They helped me out with some springtails for my crested gecko’s bioactive enclosure and I found some amazing cork bark to add to it.
