Alaska Coral y Peces

Experiencia fantástica: Great set up. Knowledgable and friendly staff very cool fish fresh and salt water.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great prices and selection. Fish always look super healthy. Always have been able to help me. A+

Experiencia negativa: Their saltwater section is severely lacking in inventory and cleanliness. The saltwater section often has just a few species available with many near empty tanks. Everything is covered in algae and aiptasia. Coral selection is limited and very overpriced with many frags covered in algae and aiptasia. The Dimond Petco honestly has more saltwater fish selection and cleaner tanks which is kinda sad.

Experiencia fantástica: Always love getting new fish for our tanks here! Staff is very friendly and willing to help answer questions for new people to the hobby.

Experiencia negativa: I've visited this fish store a few times, and I'm concerned about the fish care. The smell is unpleasant, and on my last visit, I saw two whole tank full of dead fish, which made me question the store's standards. Additionally, I felt like I experienced discrimination as a person of color. The staff seemed to prioritize white customers, and I waited almost an hour just to buy a plant. Because of these issues, I don't plan to return.

Experiencia fantástica: Today was my first time in and wow, I was impressed! The staff were super nice and knowledgeable and it is obvious they know about and care for their animals. While I have yet to buy an aquatic friend from them, the animals my friend has gotten from here thrive in her tank, when compared to animals purchased from big stores. Always love supporting local and will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: The gentleman at Alaska coral and fish gave me a great credit on my Congos I had to surrender. Very happy I love giving them my business!

Experiencia fantástica: Went in today to pick up a couple corals and met Jayden. He is fantastic to do business with and you can tell he is a hobbyist first. They have some great corals and killer deals. I'll go back for sure.

Experiencia fantástica: Best saltwater fish store in Alaska. Staff is friendly , knowledgeable and always willing to help.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a healthy assortment of fish! Love seeing a business that prioritizes the well-being of its animals/plants.

Experiencia fantástica: I come here often to get things for my home tanks. I’ve gotten a great number of fish from Loaches to an Axolotl and more. I’ve also purchased a fair amount of aquatic plants. The crew here are super knowledgeable and helpful; it’s well worth the trip to stop by and scope things out.

Experiencia fantástica: I've bought Chili Rasboras and a betta here, they have healthy stock and a wide variety to choose from, and they get new shipments regularly.

Experiencia fantástica: Took my daughter to pick out fish and plants for her first tank. Helpful and knowledgeable staff, awesome display tanks and great selection! Will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: The best in the state. Hands down!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful store! Everybody is extremely kind and helpful and the fish are well cared for. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a local Alaskan fish store.

Experiencia positiva: This place is awesome! I'm so happy we found an aquarium shop in Alaska. They have an abundance of livestock and supplies. The tanks are clean and healthy. Cody helped us out and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved this place and I highly recommend Alaska Coral and Fish. ***Update - have visited several more times and have always loved the place and the staff. So glad to have them. ***UPDATE*** It's been a few months since I have been in town when you guys are open but I was finally able to stop. I never really got to talk to anyone. The guy that helped me seemed annoyed I was bothering him and was not really chatty. He did bag my fish, took my payment, then just walked away and left me with 4 Boliviam Rams (that's not what they were labeled but that's what I think they are) in a single plastic bag, almost completely filled with water, no air, sitting on the counter and went back to cleaning tanks. I was like, are you serious? I walked outside, broke the rubber band trying to get it off, poured off the excess water and went back inside for a couple of rubber bands. I was ignored. I took the rubber bands, went back outside and correctly bagged my own fish without the benefit of a second bag or a paper bag or newspaper or, god for bid a styrofoam box to drive home 3 hours before I get them in the tank. I got the fish home, no thanks to your dude, the fish look pretty good, I'm happy with the score but your shop is not the same. It's not just dude scooping fish. A lot of empty tanks, dirty tanks, green algae on plants , things not as nice as they were the last couple of times. The dude that helped me the last couple of times seemed like he really enjoyed his job too. That helps. I'm honestly trying to help here because I love having you guys around. Don't lose what makes you different than the box stores. What I got yesterday was from the box store. Except the fish. I regret not getting the other 3 rams. If dude had talked to me a little and been personable, I would have asked about the price because there was a 3 for tag on them. The other long beard laid back dude would have been friendly enough, I'd have asked how much to take the whole group? Thise rams were a rare spot in that shop too. That shop used to be full of rare finds on the freshwater end. Maybe you are getting a new order in soon? Anyway, I hope this review helps, that's all I'm trying to do is help.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff and awesome tanks

Experiencia positiva: Great service, very knowledgeable and healthy fish. But kinda expensive.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a faaaantastic store for fish, both freshwater and saltwater, as well as a selection of other aquatic creature, among them, these: FOR SALTWATER: - crabs, starfish, sea urchins, corals of all sorts FOR FRESHWATER: - shrimp, snails, beautiful green leafy plants Furthermore, the store's aquatic experts will not just sell you fish to make money; they'll give you advice from their years of experience. We went to their store to buy some fish for a band-new freshwater aquarium we had set up with tap water just the day before. But they cautioned us against buying any fish on this visit, because the fish might well die in the water that had not had enough time to clear chemicals that are okay for humans, but NOT okay for fish. That's the LAST thing we would want to happen for my toddler grandchildren to experience. So we went home with a hardy snail and some hardy plants... ...AND WE'LL RETURN IN A FEW DAYS TO BUY OUR FISH!! You're in good hands with these aquatic experts!

Experiencia fantástica: Best selection of corals in Anchorage. The guys in the shop take the time to listen to new hobbyists questions, and legitimately seem to enjoy spreading love for the hobby

Experiencia fantástica: Always Very knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to special order.

Experiencia fantástica: Best in Alaska. Not the largest shop but they have what the others don't. It's clean, always improving and the service is amazing with a smile. High quality products.

Experiencia positiva: The fish look in great shape plan on getting fit there.

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly, helpful and have great products. Can’t recommend enough.

Experiencia fantástica: THE fish store in Anchorage. Employees are well versed in all things fish. All the supplies for any type of tank you could possibly desire, fresh or saltwater. Tons of livestock and plants in stock. If they don't have it, they can absolutely get it for you. Pictured are two bettas I recently picked up from them. They're the most active bettas I've ever recieved.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful stock and helpful as usual Loving my new kiddo

Experiencia fantástica: Only place in town worth buying from. Anchorage water hardened. Buy from a box store and you're bringing home problems. Great operation!

Experiencia fantástica: The guys here have gone above and beyond to help me get my tank set up and safe for fish. I struggled with my nitrates and nitrites and they tested my water for me, told me exactly what to use, and told me a good water “treatment plan” to stabilize my water. They’ve been helpful, friendly, educational, and informative. I felt comfortable asking all the questions I needed, and they were more then happy to answer them. Make sure to stop by and support this local shop!

Experiencia fantástica: Really nice fishes and great staff really helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm thrilled that I stumbled upon this amazing place. After a hiatus of over 20 years, I decided to dive back into the world of fishkeeping. Unfortunately, my initial purchase from a large retail store resulted in diseased fish. Thankfully, I discovered AK Coral and Fish, where I sought out medication for my sick fish. The staff here are incredibly down to earth and possess a wealth of knowledge. Once my existing fish were successfully treated and healthy again, I returned to AK Coral and Fish to expand my collection. From now on, this will be my go-to destination for purchasing fish. Their selection is truly impressive and I dare say, the best in Alaska.

Experiencia fantástica: These guys will take care of any of your needs. Please support local business instead of big box stores

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a representative of the American Axolotl Organization, so my care standards are high for all aquatics. I had a wonderful experience here! I picked up some lovely ricefish that are in their quarantine, and they had some beautiful bettas on display. Definitely check them out!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place, the variety and knowledge are well worth a visit

Experiencia fantástica: well worth the trip across town for healthy fish. The guys here are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Don't be misled by some teen working at petsmart about the hobby. Come here

Experiencia fantástica: Best fish store in AK.

Experiencia fantástica: I Love Alaska Coral, Tim the Owner is My DuDe. About 8 years ago my Daughter wanted to fish tank but didn't want to beta I told her if we're going to do this we're going to go big and Daddy's going to get a Shark. I got a 200 gallon saltwater fish tank and we chose an Australian epaulette Shark and they only get about 10 of them a year and United States for sale because they're wild caught in Australia and my dude Tim got me a perfectly healthy beautiful baby Australian epaulette shark they was already eating frozen foods and it's she was the most beautiful shark ever as well as he provided three different Dory fishes for my daughter's nemo tank.. so no matter what it is that you're looking for whether it's an exotic species or just a specific Coral if it has to do with fish or Coral Tim and Alaska Coral Tim's the Dude, and Alaska Coral and fish is the PLACE

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to get all your aquarium needs, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, the huge selection of fresh and saltwater is great and they have fish that you can't find at other stores, highly recommend checking them out.

Experiencia fantástica: Like most others, I love this place. So happy there is finally an alternative to the large stores like Petco/PetSmart whose practices with regard to fish keeping is absolutely atrocious. Unlike these large stores that’s give you incorrect information about not only compatible species but proper tank size, cycling, feeding, etc, AK Coral & Fish give sound advice & provide a much better environment for the fish while in their care. I live in Soldotna so whether it’s plants or fish, they always make sure they get home safe with a chunk of filter material (beneficial bacteria), more air in the bag, insulated box, etc. They’ve given me smoking deals on used equipment too. Love these guys. Keep it up!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful Bettas and good cholla wood

Experiencia fantástica: You can tell the staff is just as passionate about the hobby. Super cool fish collection

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable staff, on both fresh and salt water fish and supplies.

Experiencia fantástica: These guys absolutely know what they are doing when it comes to their craft. Knowledgeable and friendly, we have literally been to aquariums that have paled in comparison to this shop.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the absolute best fish shop in Anchorage and probably all of Alaska! Unique and rare varieties. Healthy fish. Excellent knowledge and service. I adore this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable helped me get my plant tank set up, good customer service and good knowledge on each species of fish. Fun to go just to check out their impressive big fish tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Got a huge variety of fish and cool aquarium hobbyist knick knacks. Knowledgable as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the assortment of fish and the employees are always friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place, super friendly people and if you ask them about Janet and her husband I guarantee you will be delighted to find out they are massive rescue catfish! The people there will be happy to tell you all about them.

Experiencia fantástica: They have nice fish. Both freshwater and salt.

Experiencia fantástica: These guys were super helpful with a problem I was having! I'm done going to petsmart/petco! Go here for anything fish related!

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service!!! I don't have fish but I have isopods and Alaska Coral & Fish saved me from having to order sight unseen wood for my terrariums. They are the best.

Experiencia positiva: Hometown store with a better selection and way more knowlegeable staff than you typical big box pet store.

Experiencia fantástica: Best fish store you'll find in Anchorage. Period. The guys there are helpful and their selection of livestock is top notch. Only thing Id ask for is a larger selection of plants but theyve got a good range of beginner plants as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Always great service. Healthy fish and they sell reverse osmosis water and fish supplies at a great value. If they don't have something you can always ask and they will do their best to help you find it. Best variety of fish I have seen in years.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place, super friendly and knowledgeable staff

Experiencia fantástica: Kid in a candy shop. I haven't bought fish in years because I need to set up a quarantine tank. I let down my boundaries because all tanks are separate at this shop are not on one big system and bought around $100 worth of tropical fish. Looking at all the tanks I suspected one tank had a ick and being in the candy shop unfortunately I purchase some of those fish forgetting my observation. After a couple hours I'm looking at my new fish at home & I noticed 5 rainbow tetras had ick. I separated them from my tank with the bags that they came in and proceeded to treat them heavily and a half dose of my own 55 gallon aquarium. I called Alaska Coral and ask them to check the tank where I had purchased the fish and they confirmed that the tank has ick & were totally apologetic & very helpful. It happens I even told the staff when I arrived every time I purchase fish I seem to get ick. I know people that purchase fish at Shady stores and never get ick.The staff was awesome and concerned & reminded me on ways to cure the problem. The rainbow tetras spent about six days in their plastic bags and I was concerned about them not eating. I had separated them into four different plastic bags as to have less stress and compatibility. Lowered lights. I have baby guppies which I fed them but not all of the tetris ate. IT all came out for the best they are swimming in my tank a month or more later. All new fish are very enjoyable. I will buy my fish there again because the staff the super knowledgeable and are very good people. They gave me their personal cell phones so that I could call with my concerns. Above and beyond the Call of Duty. Thanks Guys.

Experiencia negativa: Fish health: 3 star Plants: 4 star Customer service: 1 star Product selection: 2 star If you go here, expect to waste half an hour just trying to get an employee to acknowledge or assist you. If you're lucky enough to get helped, the advice given is poor at best. The plants are reasonably priced but lose a star for poor packaging. If you buy fish from them be sure to check the tank for dead fish rotting on the substrate. Their selection of equipment and chemicals is extremely limited and overpriced. I will not be going back.

Experiencia fantástica: These guys are GREAT! My wife and I stopped by just to check it out and ended up leaving with several new additions to our aquarium. They really know their stuff also. Cody is exceptional. He helped my wife and I out during a very busy time of day but he didn't stop answering our questions and giving us advice until we were completely satisfied. If you're looking for ANYTHING fish/aquarium related or if you have questions about anything, stop by and see these guys!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was very friendly and informative. They have a great selection of freshwater and saltwater fish. This was our kids first time for an aquarium and we really like the variety compared to petco/pet smart.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first time ever visiting this place. Pictures of this store does not do it justice, you absolutely need to go see for yourself how amazing this store is! Its fun to just look at all the types of fishes they have. They have all kinds of fishes that you normally see and don't see at the big box stores. Make sure to check out their bettas! When I was there, they had some gorgeous, giant koi bettas. I am definitely going to be visiting this store a lot more often in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place, and the workers are awesome and knowledgeable. I buy my corals here all the time

Experiencia fantástica: They have a grand assortment of fish. You have many choices from beginner fish to advance fish keeper selections. If you have aquarium fever, beware of this fish store. It is like walking in a candy store.

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely polite and knowledgeable staff, store and tanks are always so clean and always a good variety to choose from!! Always an awesome experience visiting this store!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful and they give you healthy fish large selection they also sell the best tanks and supplies

Experiencia positiva: Had a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater fish! All employees were nice and helpful! It is very humid and smelly in there when the doors are closed in winter, otherwise I would rate it 5 stars.

Experiencia fantástica: honestly one of the most epic places I've been. Lots of cool fish I had never seen, some I thought id never see in fish stores here! the staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly, I would suggest this shop to anyone ☺️☺️

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing! We drove out from the valley and will again just to give them our business.

Experiencia fantástica: The best and possibly the only true fish store in the Anchorage area. Good pricing on fish & accessories.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and knowledgeable people. Good advice and willing to help any way that they can!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent customer service and the fish seem truly loved.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable and great customer service! Would definitely recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Alaska Coral and Fish are great. Always very friendly and helpful when it comes to picking the right kind of tank mates. Cody is always on it, very knowledgeable and happy to share. They have also seemed to maintain a nice variety of coral and fish during the pandemic. Would highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: This is an amazing interactive experience the staff here are very friendly super knowledgeable when you go inside to your not treated like just somebody there to spend money that actually took time to show off different things around the store which my children thoroughly enjoyed everything I've purchased there has lived or been a great product I continue to go there for all my aquatic needs

Experiencia fantástica: It looked like a really nice establishment on the inside and you could tell that all of the fish were really cared for. We got a pleco fish from a friend that was extremely neglected, yet somehow still growing and healthy. They said they were happy to take care of it and find it a good home. Melted my heart that they seemed to care about the fish almost like individuals.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place. The fish selection is beautiful and healthy and everyone who has helped me has been knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and super nice.

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful, knowledgeable and has a great selection and prices.

Experiencia fantástica: Always nice, friendly, helpful staff. And the tanks and fish there are amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: The guys there are awesome, they have a passion, and it shows. Friendly and awesome with kids. A must go

Experiencia fantástica: Love this aquarium and supply shop. Well maintianed tanks and knowledgable staff. Very helpful and lots to look at in this out of the way place. Salt and fresh water something for lovers of aquariums

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome store, hooked us up with a used tank for very cheap and included a filter and light. Super cool supplies and gadgets for your aquariums, as well as amazing selection of fresh and salt water fish. They offer fish beyond the tiny sized ones at the other pet stores. They have full grown salt water fish, and even SHARKS! Prices are on par with what you would expect for the type of fish you're getting. They also have anemones and beautiful coral selections. If you're serious about your fresh, brackish, or salt water habitats, this is the place to go. Staff is extremely knowledgable and friendly, and locally owned. You will walk away feeling like you were their most important customer, whether you're spending $50 or $1000. Give them a visit and say hello to the fishies! :)

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, helped me set up my first tank and answered tons of questions. Online shopping and google search just can’t compare.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was very helpful and a wealth of information. Great selection of fish and tank products that you can't find in big box stores. Many return trips to come!

Experiencia fantástica: Our family had an excellent experience here. We brought the kids and enjoyed looking in all of their tanks while waiting to be helped. The store is clean and neatly organized, and the fish are well looked after. Cody helped us understand what would be best for our tank size, and was very patient and informative while we decided what we wanted. If you’re looking for tank creatures or supplies, I fully recommend Alaska Coral & Fish.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is friendly and knowledgeable! Vast variety of fresh and saltwater fish. Tanks are kept clean. Fish are vibrant and healthier than at any other pet store I've been into! We left with 7 fish for $80 which seems pricey but well worth it for the variety we chose :) Definitely our go-to for fish and tips!!

Experiencia fantástica: Such a cool place to visit just to see all the fish and coral, kids love it! We get our fish from here exclusively.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome the staff have wealth of knowledge about your aquatic friends they will help you make the best choices for your team and its inhabitants if you want to start having pet fish (fresh water or saltwater) this is the place to go to start on the right foot

Experiencia fantástica: Best fish store in Alaska hands down! Knowledgeable and friendly staff and beautiful variety of species.

Experiencia fantástica: The best customer service in town. Ask anything they will try to answer.

Experiencia fantástica: Come here if you want good views, expert advice and insight, pleasant staff, and literally any of your aquarium needs. Plants, freshwater, saltwater, and coral are all readily available.

Experiencia positiva: I really love this store. The staff is knowledgeable, they regularly have sales for used tanks, and are happy to order whatever livestock you're interested in. My only complain is their bettas. I know cups are the norm, but it breaks my heart to see them like that. They only have 10ish in at a time and I don't understand why they don't create some more appropriate temporary homes for them. I don't know anything about their betta breeders, but I appreciate that they aren't trafficking them from the wild at the very least.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are helpful and they are COVID conscious. Everyone was wearing masks, and there were masks available if someone forgot theirs. Some neat specimens available!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome. Amazed by the variety for Anchorage. The guys working here super helpful and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely recommend Knowledgeable and friendly staff Best fish and plant and coral selection in Anchorage

Experiencia fantástica: Had a fun time looking at the fish tanks, awesome corals!

Experiencia fantástica: Never knew about this store till my wife showed me. Very cool fish store and they have a lot of fish

Experiencia fantástica: Great place, great staff! Very patient and very much care about the hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has some of the best selection of coral I have ever seen!!!

Experiencia positiva: Great variety, my previous visit I left a review that had three stars and I feel a single visit isn't a good indicator for the quality of this store. The selection of fish is near impossible to beat here in Alaska and the staff are quite knowledgeable. The fluval 207 filter I got had a broken locking mechanism but nothing super glue couldn't fix. The prices are pretty good.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this LFS, been shopping there since 2014 and never left dissatisfied

Experiencia fantástica: I love this store! Our family goes just to look and chat sometimes! Wonderful people and great prices!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, us a great selection of coral, fish, and invertebrates.
