When I first went I thought it was an amazing store and was in aw. I spent over $200 the first time…read moreI went. I breed guppies and so I bought a bunch of guppies. One female was extremely sick, she had fun rot, developed a prolapse, and multiple other issues. Unfortunately the fish didn't recover. All the females passed away fast, within a few weeks for no obvious reason. I decided recently to try purchasing from them again and now I only have one female guppy fish living. The males I bought are doing pretty good. But I went from 14 guppies to 1 guppy in just a matter of 3 weeks. I also ordered snails which one looked NOTHING like the picture. It looks so different I can't even tell what kind of snail it is. Maybe when/if it gets bigger it will look like what I paid for.

It's a local family owned place that is really into the hobby, not just profit margins. I had a Rafael Catfish that died after 31 years. Regular big retailers would have laughed, but Cindy actually cared ordered two new ones just for me, They're in my tank now, doing fine. In addition to maybe a hundred tanks of fish, they have every medicine, filter, and gizmo you could imagine, on shelves on the walls from floor to ceiling. They're also very nice people. If I could give more stars, I would.

My wife loaded up the two kids sick by the way drove the hr to the store only for the grumpy old miserable pos behind the counter to talk to her like a dog! Refuse to help her and tell her he won't call the person that sold her the fish because it's his day off but that she could come back at 1 when he would be there??? I thought he was off. Then proceeded to say he can't check the water while testing the water and confirming the water was good. This place is a joke and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone now the service has dropped dramatically.

They have some awesome fish and coral you can purchase. The store is very inviting and the staff is friendly and helpful. I didn't explore the whole store but I did find what I needed. The prices were reasonable. I got some river rocks and wood to jazz up the tank and support the orchids in my terrarium. These items were priced by weight and the employees had to weigh them and calculate the price up front at the register. I spent about $20 on everything I got. If I continue my aquarium journey I will definitely be back to make more purchases. Aquatica 800 Clanton Rd Charlotte, NC 28217 May 21, 2021 11:45am (Review 505 overall, 49 of 2021)

I enjoyed this shop and the atmosphere inside was pleasant. A staff member made their rounds to each customer to see if they wanted help yet. I read all the reviews on Yelp before visiting and it is clear to me that only people with a chip on their shoulder, maybe competitors in business, are posting such negative "stories". And that is the problem with bad attitudes, you will never be successful until you fix your attitude first.
