Acuarios Sho Tank

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff, always willing to help and provide info, allot of knowledge from everyone, perfect place if you're just starting off or are an experienced reefer, I've been coming here for over 12 years since Matt owned it and it had only gotten better, Steve, Chris, Paul, and Jake all have a ton of knowledge and in this hobby you never stop learning, exceptional service and pricing, perfect for those that need maintenance and doing custom installs, nicest corals around, and if they don't have it they can get it. This place is the reason for my success, in this hobby you're always learning, I'm glad it's through this store, thanks again guys! They also have a great selection of used equipment at great prices, but they sell fast!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris was great. I wish there were more tanks for sale in the store.

Experiencia fantástica: Best place to buy saltwater fish. Very knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Lots of interesting corals and fish. The prices are pretty good here too. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: great!

Experiencia fantástica: Great stuff for any aquarium. A must see 2000 gallon saltwater system in the front. Still the best place to get saltwater critters in the area.

Experiencia negativa: Unfortunately I have nothing good to say about this place. I would love for this to be our local fish store as I live minutes from it but I will never go back. Recently we worked with Nick to rehome a large pleco. We were promised a “decent in-store credit” and told he would either be kept in a large tank at the store or be given to someone with a large aquarium. We brought the pleco into the shop (although very hard and sad for us to give him up - we wanted better for him as he outgrew our tank). Nick never called or followed up on the store credit. I have visited a few times to inquire and was very rudely dismissed by the store manager and told that our pleco is one of many others that people just give up and they have too many that won’t get rehomed and therefore, he will just sit there and he is not worth any money. He offered us a $5 credit to appease us. We declined and asked for Nick to call us, hopeful that the intention of rehoming our pleco was still there. We left our name and number for a call back two separate times. We were never called back and our pleco still sits in a smaller pond in the front of the store. Extremely disappointing and disheartening. Poor customer service from everyone I have dealt with there. It’s a shame…

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming to Sho Tank for over 20 years. They are always welcoming and take good care of both customers and livestock.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place. Had some interesting fish that you won't see at your regular big brand stores

Experiencia positiva: Lots and lots of problems. Andy was great but overall this business has some issues and they kept selling me fish that died (over 20) and defective equipment like pumps and ATO’s. I’d go elsewhere.

Experiencia fantástica: Sho Tank Aquariums customer service is excellent--from ownership to my home cleaning tank person, as well as any of the store associates. they always take great care of my fish, tank and me the customer.

Experiencia fantástica: Chris and the sho tanks family are amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Great pricing

Experiencia fantástica: They didn’t have the very unique Axolotl we were looking for, but Chris provided us great info and recommendations on them to no benefit to him. Highly recommend this place for the great Service they provide.

Experiencia positiva: Very friendly and good prices on majority of salt water corals.

Experiencia positiva: Been going a couple years now. Store is starting to look a bit worn down. Most times I go there isn't a good selection of fish. Pretty empty tanks. Place needs a good remodel IMO. Staff is nice, usually one person working. Decent selection of frozen foods.

Experiencia fantástica: Andy is the best

Experiencia fantástica: Small town shop. Very knowledgeable team. Good quality, healthy fish.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store! I'll definitely be back

Experiencia fantástica: The one place my old man always got his RO_DI water from.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store! Very helpful and huge selection of coral and fish!

Experiencia fantástica: As always, they have the best selection of fish and coral.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice local fish store. Reasonably priced for most items. However they seem to have a heavier focus on the saltwater section than freshwater section.

Experiencia fantástica: Go here to get all my tank needs, military discount a huge + and I never have to take the gallons of water to my car as they are awesome to do so for me

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place for sea water fishes and guidance!!

Experiencia fantástica: Clean very helpful I bought close to 70 fish they're all still alive I've had some for 3 years good people

Experiencia fantástica: Very neat place! Chris was very informational and nice! I will definitely go back there to get my seahorses when I am ready!

Experiencia fantástica: The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. He has a wide selection to choose from and the tanks are very clean. It was a fun and rewarding experience for us.

Experiencia fantástica: Is very helpful clean organized love it's going to be my permanent fish store

Experiencia fantástica: Love them they re like a family we got a tank from them and fish and everything supper nice and friendly

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t stop going here, super nice owner Steve, he will take care of you along with his awesome staff. Super knowledgeable, great prices, and best of all Sho pieces for sale at great prices. One of the top LFS in the area. If you’re a beginner or experienced reefer this is the place to go and support. They will treat you like family and give you the best advice, saw Chris yesterday and he was very knowledgeable in the live stock selection for my tank, he dedicated his time in making sure I got what was right. Make the drive fellow reefers it’s worth it!

Experiencia fantástica: They are the best!! We have been going to them for years. They are great with their customers willing to spend time answering any questions... and making sure you are making best decisions for your current tank considerations even if that means no sale that day. Awesome people great selections.

Experiencia fantástica: It's hard for me to leave a good reviews theses days. But hands down this is great store. All employees I have talked too have very good advice and are super helpful. From now on this will be my go to store!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice and very knowledgeable! Can be hard to get waited on if only one person working.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! They are so awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable. Tom is amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: 200% good price! And quality.

Experiencia fantástica: VERY CLEAN! Staff Very helpful and nice.

Experiencia fantástica: Chris was a huge help. Much better selection over the other nearby stores.

Experiencia negativa: The staff is not helpful at all. Trying to get someone’s help is like pulling teeth. Not to mention the staff likes to make assumptions about how much customers are willing to spend when I asked about a certain Cora he told me that those are expensive so I wouldn’t want them then directed me to the $20 tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place with patient & knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff has helpful info

Experiencia fantástica: Ran in yesterday to grab cycled water for my new Biocube. The guys in there were super knowledgeable and knew what they were talking about. Beautiful corals, livestock and display tanks. I would 100% recommend going here if you have any questions or want some really nice prices. Thank you guys so much, I will be back soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Really good marine livestock and very friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try saltwater aquariums. I have bugged them with several noobie questions on phone and email and they have responded to each of my requests. Keep up the good work Sho Tank!

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Experiencia positiva: Wish they had more fresh water fish . They're the place to go for saltwater fish.

Experiencia positiva: Great place and knowledgeable staff. This is where you should go for all of your aquarium needs.

Experiencia fantástica: First time in this shop tonight, good experience! Picked out a nice variety of Cichlids to start a tank after not keeping fish for 20+ years. Owner/manager was friendly and helpful! Start a tank yourself, watching fish is a natural de-stressor and will cure your COVID blues! Go out and support small businesses like this!!

Experiencia fantástica: Always great! Very helpful, great selection. They are the best around.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has it all, but beware the frags, if you care you may want to clean em a bit, one came with a feather duster, and perhaps bubble algea, but it's cool for the feather duster, in my tank nothing is a nuisance yet . Got 7 starter frags for 30 bucks. So I'm digging it.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice staff, excellent services

Experiencia fantástica: Great place highly recommend checking out their coral auctions app.

Experiencia fantástica: Great group of guys and solid ownership. Truly care for their customer base and always strive to make themselves available regardless of how crazy busy they are all the time. Support local, support Sho Tank!

Experiencia fantástica: I just purchased a 180 Gal tank and I am in the the stages of setting it up. I stopped into the store and Spoke With Chris What a pleasure . I did not purchase anything at this time but when I do I will not go anywhere else when I start to purchase my fish and equipment It was so nice to be at a place that cares about you and the Hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place to do business with, if your new to the hobby or if your having troubles with your current set up, this is the spot to go! They will give you all the knowledge and help you need and won’t try and push products on you that are unnecessary! Absolutely the BEST aquarium team in the Midwest by far!!! Steve Goldman and his team are truly dedicated to this hobby and will make any tank look spectacular! Definitely has helped me out more times than I can count and I am forever grateful! Why go anywhere else when this could be your one stop shop for your aquarium needs! Keep up the Great work Sho Tank!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the best fish store I’ve seen in many years! I’ve experienced nothing but professionalism and respect through the years I’ve shopped there highly recommend checking them out!

Experiencia positiva: Amazing coral and saltwater fish, the only thing lacking in the freshwater selection.

Experiencia fantástica: Helpful, friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Talked with steve for about an hour after they closed, he answered every single question I had and went above and beyond for a new customer that he will have for as long as I have my tank. I can't stress it enough on how much more I learned from him in the hour of talking to him compared to my time at every other pet store. He really knows his stuff and takes pride in his business. Highly recommend this store to everyone!

Experiencia fantástica: Steve is the man. Knows it all. Helps with all and always makes time for everyone

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome service

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful selection and very friendly, and most importantly knowledgeable staff. I've been visiting for years.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is legit. Been going there for 10+ years, best prices as well!

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service and outstanding products

Experiencia fantástica: Best place ever i will recommend highly

Experiencia fantástica: Man this place is the most amazing place to go very helpful they will always help you with any questions you have all the staff is great they will make you feel like your at home thank you guys

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t describe in words how great this place is, from the owner to the employees, and the selection of corals and fish, go see it for yourself.

Experiencia fantástica: Ever since I started up my Reef Tank in april of this year I have gone to serveral shops around the area and also travled more than an hour and a half to go check out shops. Out of all the shops that I went to that had saltwater, this shop by far is not only the best with their prices but also with their amazing slection of fish and the beautiful collection of coral that he has for view and for sale. The staff is always very welcoming and helpful with any questions you have. The owner Steve is also a very helpful a great guy. If you have questions about anything he is willing to help you out as much as he can and treats you like a human and cares for what you have to say and not just look at you for your moeny. I would reccomend to anyone that is going in or already into to saltwater to go to his shop beccause you will not leave unhappy. Ive bought over 1000 dollars worth of coral and everything is doing great.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place :)

Experiencia fantástica: Good prices and very nice selection of fish and coral. They also do custom orders on livestock if they don't have what you want.

Experiencia fantástica: This place never disappoints me. I always have a top notch experience here, and the staff is extremely helpful and full of knowledge. Also best prices around!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for tropical fish

Experiencia fantástica: The staff here is incredibly knowledgeable. Not like box stores where you get a different employee every visit who went through only basic training. Everyone here clearly has a passion for what they do, and a passion to see you succeed in your own aquatic adventures. Even if they appear busy, they always take the time to make sure they answer all of your questions, and make the suggestions that are best for your personal needs. Will never go anywhere else!

Experiencia fantástica: Sho Tank Aquariums has been the best place I've went to for fish. The staff really cares about the fish and are very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing prices and selection of everything.

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable and very helpful staff!!

Experiencia positiva: Knowledgeable people

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely fantastic! Very Pleased!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy with selection, quality and service!

Experiencia fantástica: Service is sometimes slow due to only one person working. When your turn comes up it is all you. Ask questions, they are truthful and will even tell you to buy things elsewhere if they are cheaper there. They steer you away from things that might not work in your tank and suggest things that would.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place nice selection of frags and fish, very competitive prices.

Experiencia fantástica: Great LFS that you should visit. Always helpful and great selection.

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable staff. They love what they do and it shows. Support small businesses!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome! I used to work for Aquarium Adventure, and while I still love AqA, ShoTank has them beat on price! Been to every aquarium store in a 30 mile radius, and there is no better livestock store in this area! I have multiple aquariums. Bought cichlids, crayfish, and a variety of saltwater fish over the past few months, and I haven't lost a single one! Also, the staff is VERY knowledgeable and honest! They would definitely want you be successful and make the right decisions with your aquarium. They have a customer for life!

Experiencia fantástica: Steve super helpful, he was the first person I met there and was very impressed by knowledge and Customer services.

Experiencia fantástica: Best in the area, no question. They also service my reef tank and do a very professional job.

Experiencia fantástica: Great group of guys. Customer service is right on..

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff and very knowledgeable.

Experiencia negativa: Freshwater fish were all sick with ich. Many so covered they were white with spots. Lots of dead too, plust tanks shared filtration so all of the FW fish had been exposed. No one who worked there cared, ich would have beeen easy to treat. Never comming here again. Store is almost nonexistent they seem to have a sales are with an old couxh then another room filled with multiple fresh and saltwater tanks in very poor condition. Not a good way to sell fish. The SW fish were pretty pale and stressed looking as well. If i would have lnown I would not have wasted my time going here.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding customer service love this place

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was friendly. Chris was very helpful

Experiencia negativa: Not sure how they got such great reviews. I was there for 40 minutes and was never acknowledged. They had four tanks of what i was looking for which were peacock cichlids, unfortunately which were all sick.. they had ick on their fins, one tank had a few which were dead, and all their tails were closed and the fish were clearly stressed. I'll give it to them, absolutely they had the best pricing I've ever seen, but for sick fish. I drove an hour for absolutely nothing. Save your time pay a little extra and go to the GCCA swap.

Experiencia fantástica: Really great place! Some stores lose interest as soon as you say you're there to ask questions, but they were really great about it! Great prices too! They were even able to help me with information about a fish they don't sell there! (Betta fish. I understand and respect why they don't stock them, and am really glad they don't keep the poor things in cups all day.) Will definitely be going there again! A little small and a little understaffed, so don't go if you're in a hurry. Definitely go there if you want a good experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic selection, very clean tanks, great people, good prices too! We stopped in because we were in town for family function, I will definitely make the drive from janesville Wi to go back.

Experiencia fantástica: Sho tank Aquariums is hands down the best place to get fish and corals in the area. Steve the owner is top notch in every aspect of the business. His knowledge is unparalleled, his work ethic and dedication to his profession is rarely found. He believes that the success of his customers is truly the driving force in his business. I have been a customer for more than two years now and look forward to many more years. Sho tanks makes this hobby enjoyable because it is not just a place to buy fish and corals. It is a place to hang out and get your questions answered and run your thoughts and ideas past the team and feel confident that you will be successful.
