While we (hubby and I)had them write up a quote for a saltwater tank we were told to look at the fish they had in stock. Numerous tanks that we looked at with livestock had dead fish in them and the tanks were dirty. We vowed never to go back. read more

An absolutely stunning selection of fresh and saltwater fish, plants, corals, and equipment. STUNNING. In my opinion, it's the best place for all your aquarium needs in the Chicagoland area. While I don't think the staff has an encyclopedic knowledge of fish (not that I expect that) ... they're always very friendly and cool with all your questions. Everything is clean and some of the display tanks are just amazing. I think a lot of people just kill some time there and browse around. I could go on for a bit more ... but it feels like I'm ruining the ending to a movie or something ... so just go there and see for yourself! read more

I really dislike the "puppy side" of this place. Most of the workers there are young kids and not the least bit friendly or helpful. This place really needs a few adult managers working on the puppy side to keep things responsible. In one case some time ago, I asked a girl to take out one of the puppies because we were going to purchase it (we'd visited/played with it several visits prior)... and I was told "there is a line to play with the puppies". I told her I wasn't here to play, I was here to pay (almost $3,000 nonetheless), and she still told me I had to wait. Needless to say, I did not purchase that puppy. Even still, when you do take a puppy out, you're made to feel very rushed. I'm guessing this is the byproduct of having a bunch of people with no intention of buying wanting to take puppies out all day long. When I plan to buy a puppy, however, I'd like to be able to spend more than five minutes with it without feeling pressured or rushed. It's a big purchase and a bigger commitment, and I think serious buyers should be given more than a few minutes to bond prior to purchase. I've also seen many people mishandling the animals. Kids constantly mishandling the small rodents and rabbits... Once, I even saw a teen girl and her boyfriend literally pushing a puppy hard into into walls of one of the playpen areas (and laughing about it), and I ripped into them something fierce to knock it off. When I told the staff girl to take the puppy back from the kids due to the way they were mistreating it, she went over, looked in the pen, and walked away and did nothing. At this point, I opened the pen myself, took the dog away from the kids, and handed him to a different staff member and said, "he's had enough". As a whole, the puppy side of this place is really nothing more than where people come to play with puppies... and the too-young, unsuitable workers are nothing more than deli workers ("next!") for puppies to be played with by people with no intention of buying them (thankfully, to be honest). Please... get your puppies elsewhere! read more

I'll start with the good: they have a really nice plant section and multiple filter options that other stores don't have. Their fish selection and unique pets (tarantulas and scorpions) are much larger than most pets stores as well. The bad: the bettas they had were in terrible condition. I saw a few dead in their tiny cups too. The gravel selection was very small and silk plants were extremely limited. Their prices are pretty ridiculous too. Since they do have a large selection, I may be back but not unless I can find what I need online first. read more

Good place to by dry goods if you need them asap, otherwise get your stuff off Amazon for 40% less. I bought 20 cardinal tetras there last week and noticed I was given over 35 when I got home. Before I add any fish to my aquarium I test the source water so I get an idea of their health. Well Aquarium Adventures water tested at .5 ppm ammonia (Highly toxic at such a high ph) 0 ppm nitrites 160+ ppm Nitrates (fine in low levels but toxic, especially to cardinals, at such high levels) 8.4 PH 8° KH 8° GH Cardinals are VERY sensitive to nitrates and come from very soft acidic water. So they where kept in horrible condition. After 24 hours I noticed why they gave me so many extra. I awoke to 12 dead on the first day and 10 more dead over the next 4 days. I am left with just 13 cardinals after 5 days. The ones still alive seem healthy and have coloured up very well. The lady who helped me with my refund was very rude and kept telling my how my water quality was poor for the tetras and thats why they died, My water is 0ppm Ammonia/Nitrites 5ppm Nitrites 7 ph 195 TDS 3° KH/GH I got store credit but used that to buy some cherry shrimp from them. I will never buy another fish there again. If you need saltwater fish I suggest you go across the street to Beyond the Reef. Or 15 minutes away to AquaPros. read more

This place is the best fish store in the state, might be a little more money for certain things but ur paying for the knowledge of professionals, they always help me with my questions and how to maintain my tank more efficiently, love my African chiclids mainly the manager he really has helped me with my new 150 gallon tank and fish real knowledgeable professional read more

Aquarium Adventure - Aquarium Services Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Love this place! I was able to find customer service fairly quickly. Adam was very helpful as I am a new hobbyist. They have cured live rock ready to go, live sand that I was able to pour into my new 20 gallon tank, and pre mixed saltwater. They have a very nice selection of fish in stock as well. I will definitely be coming back to this place! read more

I have bought several fish for my aquariums from here. Their fish seem to be well taken care of. The fish I have purchased always come home healthy. My only issues are that their prices are high and I usually have a hard time trying to find someone to help me. read more

This store is horrible. Their prices are just downright outrageous. I have been in this hobby for years and my father owned a pet shop. When you question their prices they get rude. Please be educated buyers and check their prices to competitors...you will see their prices are way higher. almost double. read more

Prices for the tanks and fishes are a bit high unless you're in the aquarium club, which is an annual membership you pay for. With the membership, the fishes are all at a discounted price. Not all employees know what their talking about. Look for a guy name Leelan (Sorry if i butchered the spelling). He is very knowledgeable and is very nice. You can also call if you have any questions about fish. He will happily answer all your questions. read more

I'm usually not one to write negative reviews as the time spent usually does not end up to any resolve, but I feel strongly enough about my experience over the last month with this company to share this publicly. I've been shopping in this store for 2-3 months. I've spent well over 500$ in accessories/pets including fish, one of my tanks, live rock and food. I even paid for their premium fish club membership for a year which gives you discounts etc. As the location is incredibly convenient to where I live I started shopping here exclusively. Generally the staff is helpful and willing to give you advice, while extremely inconsistent between employees you can tell they try and help. At the start of April (Yes I've been trying to sort this out for well over a month). I bought a larger tank for my puffer fish and decided to make the slightly smaller tank into a salt tank. I did my research, bought everything I needed sand, live rock, etc etc, all from this location. I got the advice of the staff on how long I needed to set up the tank etc, bought everything they suggested set it up, let it run, came back on Saturday. On Saturday I had a few people assisting me, just on this trip alone I had 2-3 different people telling me 2-3 completely different things, to the point they started arguing with themselves over the tank and what I should do. One very helpful associate told me I should get turbo start, than her manager overheard and basically scorned her saying I didn't need that, while another employee chimed in saying I did. After some back and forth I bought two mocha clownfish and had the store put them on hold over night so I could come back the next day and get them. Trying to keep this as concise as possible the fish both ended up dying within days from Ich. I called the store and spoke to a manager who told me it's completely my fault and that my tank was too new and that's why they died and there's nothing he can do. Nothing. I told him the only reason I bought them so early was from staff at this location telling me it was ok and I'd be fine. He told me I should have used turbo start. I told him another manager last week told me specifically NOT to use it. He then told me I needed to throw everything away, water, live rock, everything and just trash it. I told him I rather not just because I had just spent 250$ on all the supplies, again at this store and I had bought a fire shrimp, again from this store and he was still alive. This is the best part, he told me in the most roundabout way, "Just get rid of him." He basically told me just to kill this animal so I could start the tank over. After the fish died I did end up reaching out to another fish store, a small local place about it and asking them what I should have done. They asked me if I still had the dead fish and I brought them in. They asked me how many weeks I've had this fish, I told them not even 5 days. He was shocked and told me the fish looks like it had been sick for weeks. At this point, I called customer service. I spoke to a lady, she said she's reach out to me, a few days go by and no response so I call back to speak with her, she's on vacation and left the day after our phone call but she told me she'd reach back out to me in a few days? Said they'd call me back, no response for 3-4 days. I call back Friday, the woman I spoke to was still out and said she'd be in tomorrow. I call Saturday, she's still out and the agent I spoke to was confused why they said she'd be in. Said she'd leave a message on her desk and have her reach out to me ASAP next week. No word for a few more days so I call back and ask for a supervisor. The supervisor tried reaching out to the store for me, they refused. I could tell on the phone she felt bad for me about the whole situation and she told me if she could personally do something about it she already would have but since the locations are franchises she can't issue a refund for a specific store. Alright she did her best and I thanked her. To end I've now reached out to the store owner directly 3 times within the last week and haven't gotten a response. It's not about the money at this point. It's the fact that I was told things by multiple people at the store that were so drastically different. When I go to a store like this I expect the staff to know what they're talking about, so I take their advice. I want to believe people are giving me honest help but due to their advice and the fact I was sold sick fish I feel I've been greatly cheated by this store. On that note I also want to state that since that incident I have been going to another store. I bought new mocha clownfish and I've had them for about three weeks and they have 0 signs of disease and they're much much more active. Also it's worth noting my new clownfish are in the same tank as the old ones. All and all I'm still willing to work with the store, even continue shopping there. If they reach out to me. read more

I am extremely disappointed in my experiences recently with this store. I have purchased many fish from here, but it seems service and knowledge is continuously going downhill. Recently i purchased a gourami from this store, and when i got home i noticed it had a large scar on it, like something had taken a bite out of it when it was young. I was however fond of it immediately, and didn't mind it at all. Unfortunately after a couple of weeks it was obvious that this fish was not a good tank mate to my other fish, so I stopped in and spoke to someone about it. I explained the situation, and asked the girl there if i could bring him back. I told her i didnt want any kind of refund...the fish just wasn't working out and i figures the best place to bring it was back where i purchased him from. I also mentioned that he had the scar defect when we purchased him, but again that i didnt want a refund. I just wanted a happy tank, and a place for the gourami to go to be happy as well. She said it was no problem, and that I should drop him off. Fast forward to 5/17. I brought my gourami in to drop him off and purchase some additional fish. I took him to the service desk and showed them the gourami. I told them i was dropping him off because he was not getting along with my other fish. One of the men, who acted like he was a manager, looked at the gourami and pointed out the scar. I explained that he was purchased that way, so i dont know how he got the scar. The employee literally acted like i was lying, and kept saying "how do I know you bough that here" over and over. I was stunned. (Let me point out that this is the ONLY place i have ever purchased fish.) I do not like being called a liar, especially when I was told previously to drop him off! I repeated that i didnt want any money back, I was just dropping him off. And he said "i cant sell him that way, so I cant do anything with it" and told me he wouldn't take it. I said "well you sold him to me that way" and he repeated that he didn't believe i got it there. He basically told me i should just dispose of it. I guess maybe their employees think it is okay to treat a fish in such an irresponsible manner. Unfortunately their treatment of a loyal customer who has spent lots of money there, and was doing as instructed, is UNACCEPTABLE. I manage a retail store, and their customer service at this aquarium adventure is deplorable. If this particular employee worked for me, he would be looking for a new job. Another example of a bad experience i had here previously, but chalked it up to untrained staff: I came in to purchase some fish for one of my small cold water tanks and i asked for a recommendation. The girl recommended a type of catfish, and they were busy at the time so i purchased it without much thought. When I got it home i figured out that it was a black fin shark....which has a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. Unfortunately it was dead within days before I could even bring him back. With terrible customer service, untrained staff, and many dead fish seen floating in their tanks, I have been very disappointed recently. Unfortunately calling your customers liars and not upholding good service equals a one star rating for me. read more

Please see my review for the Bolingbrook Aquarium Adventure. I have dealt with both locations and do not recommend either. By the way, I have been here on weekends when there are kids parties & I am not sure how appropriate it is for the staff to dump a bunch of goldfish in the piranha tank in front of these little kids to see them get eaten alive. read more

Extremely Great Store. Adorable animals being treated with respect and family like. I came here for supplies for my Goldfish and they have everything. read more

My review comes as a saltwater fish hobbyist. Honestly, I feel like I could give this business anywhere of a total of 1-3 stars depending on the experience. I went with two stars, to average it out. This place could earn three stars, because they do have a large selection of saltwater livestock, whether it be fish, corals, or other inverts. Plus, they aren't nearly as expensive as other speciality stores. Not as cheap as say Petco, but much less than other stores. This place could earn two stars, because while they do have a great selection at great prices, the livestock in the store isn't always in the best of condition. It isn't uncommon to see a lot of dead fish, or items sick and near death. It's especially sad when it's a rare item, like an anemone that just isn't getting what it needs to live. In fact, all of the fish tanks are bare bones. No rocks, no sand, no decorations, just water. Fish that perhaps need rocks to hide, or sand to sift, or an anemone that needs strong light, doesn't have them, which is why they are doing so poor. In the end, this place should probably get one star because of the service. Selling saltwater livestock requires at least a great deal of knowledge, otherwise it is dangerous. Sadly, it seems that even management and ownership has a huge lack of knowledge. Just an example, I was recently in the store looking for something to feed off of the algae growth we are currently having in my tank. An associate talked up this purple sea slug, or nudibranch, as something that would be perfect for that problem. With that vote of confidence, and the fact that it was just a beautiful creature in general, I had to buy it. As it turns out, not only does it not eat algae, it eats a VERY RARE sponge that you can not even purchase anywhere. Literally, anywhere. A expert on saltwater livestock told me that I may, but probably not, have small little pieces of the sponge in my tank naturally, but once it eats them, there would never be any more, and you just cannot buy it anywhere. In fact, they were shocked that a store would dare sell the creature anyway, because it does not survive in home aquariums. It's impossible to keep. So basically, I was sold a live animal just to watch it die in my tank, all because a sale associate had no idea what they were talking about, and because ownership doesn't know better than to sell an animal that cannot survive in captivity. I did end up calling the store to inform them of this, and that they should not be selling these creatures in the first place. Well, I actually tried calling the corporate office first, but was told the stores are 'independently owned.' When I called the store and asked for the owner, I was told they don't take calls. I asked for the general manager, and they apparently were 'out of town.' I did end up talking to the 'saltwater manager' who told me they would put a note on my fish club membership to give me a refund next time I am in the store. I am going to stop in over the weekend, and see what happens, so hopefully they will stay true to their word. The funny part is, they want me to bring the slug back dead or alive, which is a lose-lose either way. If it's alive, they will just try and resell it to someone else, or have it die in their tank. If it dies in my tank, not only is it incredibly sad that a bought a creature that had no chance of living because of their irresponsibility, but if it does die in my tank, good luck fishing it out. I have a great cleaning crew of snails, shrimp, hermit crabs, and starfish, that will likely eat the dead body before I even notice it. I wonder if they will honor their word if that happens... read more

I am really torn when reviewing this place. Not many fish stores have so many pros......and cons. Its usually more of one or the other. The fish and aquariums at AA seem very healthy and well maintained, yet the sales people either have little knowledge or integrity, or both. On multiple occasions they have recommended me fish that are not suitable for my tanks. I even went with a friend the other day and they tried to sell him a snowflake eel (they get almost 3 feet) even when he informed them he had a 20 gallon tanks, with small fish, and already inadequate filtration! The fish are a bit overpriced, but the selection is good.....but then there is the fact that literally a block away is a place with healthier livestock, more honest/knowledgeable sales people and friendly service. That fact really hurts this place's rating for me. This place is good to go to if you do your research ahead of time, and need something a little uncommon to justify the higher prices. read more

We want to love this place,but EVERYTHING we have gotten here dies in a short time. The place has an amazing selection of both fresh and salt water stock. Helpful and seemingly knowledgable staff and fair prices. They have some great selections of both hard and soft corals,but,again, the stuff we have bought here dies in a short time.Corals,fish,snails and invertebrates that we have already had and had success with,so not like we don't know how to care for it.Too bad,but we will go elsewhere for our saltwater needs. read more

Bought a red tailed shark today and Ray helped me, he was so knowledgable about freshwater tanks and salt water tanks I really appreciated his help. Nick was the cashier and he was also very friendly and also answered some fishy questions I had. read more

Everyone seems like they know what there doing but prices are two high! Fish seemed in good care which is a good thing I got two healthy bettas only thing concerns me is that you reuse the cups. But everything seemed clean and well taken care of in your store as I only saw a couple of sick bettas. read more

Wow! This place is HUGE! I live on the north side of chicago so this was a bit of an outing. My buddy and I made it a double date. Romatic and lavish aren't we? Anyways, they were having a obscene sale and we decide we couldn't pass it up. It's a long drive, but I'm going to try and make it back here. Amazing display tanks, unserpassed plant selection, plumbing, fittings, and hoses, oh and a wide selection of fish. Unfortunately their prices seem a bit on the high side. The have a membership card that gives you 25% off but it costs you to join. If it wasn't so far away it might be worth it. Even with the 25% off these guys would be a little high on the price scale. Freshwater tanks looked really nice, clean and organized. Saltwater looked a little neglected. Hard to say, as I said we were there for a big sale. So big in fact that the place was packed and I couldn't get any service. Understandable, but annoying since I really wanted those Botia Sidthimunki at 7.50 a piece (normally between 12 and 25 bucks a piece), and maybe some of those awesome looking plants - oh well. Really couldn't give 5 stars for a large corporate warehouse store, and they lost a star for being one of these and not being cheaper. Still I wish they were closer. Still worth the trip just for the walk around. read more

I've stopped in a few times, never once has a customer service representative approached me to ask if I've had questions, or shown any interest in me as a customer until I purchased something. Today on my visit there were countless dead and dying marine fish, large bacterial blooms, and dense algae; super unfortunate, even one of their fish in the largest display had what appeared to be a case of pop eye. One of the red ear sliders was jammed between a rock and the glass and already had the white bacterial fuzz growing around it. Being from a different suburb I've been interested to see the different marine stores in the larger Chicagoland area, I'll continue to go elsewhere for any livestock, the only benefit here are chain box store prices for equipment. read more

Overpriced equipment, fish and food. Tanks are filthy, knowledge of care of the animals is lacking. $379 for a purple tang? Go to Reefwise for all your saltwater fosh and corals. read more

This is one of my favorite stores to buy fish and fish supplies. The staff was constantly trying to help which was great. There was some really neat fish you could buy and the fish seemed to be kept in good condition unlike the other pet store next door. There was plenty of aquarium supplies to choose from and all were a very reasonable price to pay. And if your looking for a tank there is a huge variety to choose from I would recommend this place to others looking for fish tanks or fish and fish supplies. Make sure you go on the aquarium part of the store not the other side which has dogs and other animals. read more

Great selection and great service. Staff was very knowledgeable but not too pushy. Fish are very healthy. Highly recommended!!

Aquarium Adventure is a great store, if you're an aquarium enthusiast and are looking for something that the normal pet stores don't have, AA will most likely have it. It is true they are a bit more expensive (the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars) but when you stock some of the more difficult to find items, sometimes it drives up cost. BTW: if you are in to freshwater plants, this is the only place to go. I have yet to find another aquarium store with anywhere near the selection that Aquarium Adventure has! read more

Over a year weve purchased several fish each time they die within a day or two they always test our water sample and its always good never a refund We recommend this store for supplies only do not buy live stock Buy the livestock from reefwise or beyond the reef. read more

Probably the largest selection and coolest looking freshwater and saltwater pet fish you will find in all of the Chicago-area. The prices are higher than other places but the fish just seem healthier and have more personality than other smaller stores. One con I'd like to point out is that some of the staff are not knowledgeable at all and I asked if I could mix two breeds of fish together and they told me yes. Little did I know after putting these two fish in my tank, one killed the other over night. Lesson learned, do your own research about the fish before asking questions. read more

I had visited Aquarium Adventure once when they first opened, but have been there three times in the last two days. Especially considering this is a chain and a product of Petland, this place has THE MOST stunning array of fish for sale I have ever seen. They have fish that I haven't seen in years and some I have never even seen for sale before at all. They buy in bulk and sell at fairly good prices. We scored some nice fish with their current 40% off all livestock (!!), but have also had a setback. There is someone here who knows what they are doing, but we didn't see him/her. The entire staff is extremely under experienced, and this may cause a problem for novices. We had a problem with an employee, who, when asked if he could bag up three panda corydoras, asked what a corydoras was. In a tank that only contained panda corys and tetras...an employee, even if relatively novice, should know what a cory is. He proceeded to catch three corys for us, but not before he tore the tank apart trying to catch them (and injuring two in the process). He noted that the fish had "bit" him, as he was bleeding on his thumb. I had to explain to him that the fish's pectoral fins got him, not mouth. When I returned home, I noticed that two of the cory cats had big red sores from being smashed against the rocks/glass with the net. These two died that same night. We had to go back today to bring them back for replacements. The manager defended her employee, telling me the fish are armored catfish and wouldn't have sustained such injuries by being mishandled. She replaced them anyway, and then the young kid behind the counter must not have seen that we had two fish in the bag, and so now we have our three corys and a credit for one more if we want, lol. If you know what you want and know your fish, this is a great place to go to. Next time I might insist to catch my own fish to avoid injury to the fish. Overall, a great place, even though they ARE a chain. Never thought I'd say that! read more

Enormous selection of tropical fish (I'm limiting my comments to freshwater). Prices are higher than normal IMO, and that doesn't necessarily mean the livestock's any less likely to die on you in a day or so. It happens. Join their fish club customer loyalty program for $20/yr and get decent discounts. My highest praise's reserved for their aquarium plants--these are literally the best I've ever seen and I have seen a lot. FYI - tropical fish stores are torn between making their money on the livestock or the equipment paraphernalia. It never seems to be both and it goes in cycles. AA uses common tank filtration. It's a great efficiency for them (other shops too), as long as you the customer is OK with the possibility of diseases/infections being readily transmitted from fish in one tank to any number of other tanks. UV sterilization lamps don't arrest 100% of the issues. read more

It's pretty obvious a lot of the negative reviews are Petsmart employees. I've been shopping at AA since November 2011. Purchased a new large tank and livestock. Yes, there are some employees who are young and inexperienced - but most of the staff are very knowledgeable and actually have fish in their homes. On a busy day the manager helped me with everything I needed for my new tank. He didn't try selling me the most expensive items, just those he has or would use himself. He actually discouraged me from purchasing items that were popular but unnecessary. I've also found their prices beat all the ma-pa lfs's and all the chain stores that I've seen so far. So all you haters from Petsmart - you can't beat knowledge, integrity and good prices! read more

The staff is helpful to customers and there's a fantastic selection of supplies, but the actual pets are in horrible conditions. Too many reptiles are on sand when they should absolutely never be on sand! They will swallow it and it will cause huge health problems. They have axolotls in a tank with a heater, small rocks, and small fish. They belong in cold water with a chiller. They will eat anything smaller than their heads so those rocks and fish in there with them are being eaten and probably causing huge health problems. The female bettas are kept together, which is fine so long as it's a group of 5 in 20+ gallons. The girls are stressed out and attacking each other. read more

Horrible customer service. I went to return a filter I bought a week ago and the manager Wayne was super rude. He said he couldn't give me a refund. He didn't want to give me an explanation. I asked to talk to someone above him and he said there's no one with more authority than him. After a couple of minutes of me following him around the store, he gave my the name of the general manager, but apparently he is out of town at this time so I can't talk to him. How convenient! I have never seen such poor customer service. I sure won't be shopping there again! read more

Great place for all freshwater, marine, and reptile enthusiasts. They offer everything you could ever want for an aquarium or terrarium, at competitive prices. Having 3 full grown turtles myself, it's difficult to find high power filters and large tanks, but aquarium adventure provides everything I need. They offer a great selection and marine and freshwater fish, plants, reptiles etc. And it being next to petland makes it a convenient stop for all pet needs. Definitely the place to stop by if you're looking for the highest quality in aquariums and supplies. read more

The staff is very friendly to me and everything seems perfect there. Everything there is organized and neat and they always have what I'm looking for. I do have a question though. Does anyone know if they sell their piranhas? read more

Very happy with this place. Not a big box store , but somewhat has that Corp feel. Fish that I've purchased have been very healthy. I've had a few for 3-4 months now and no issues. The helpers are always busy due to the sheer volume of people in the store but Once you get an employee to assist you they do take their time and make sure that you have everything that you need. read more

Most of the marine animals (fish for you dumb morons) are in poor health, stressed, or dead. Prices are ridiculously high. Staff lacks knowledge. The place represents how humans treat wildlife, like shit. read more

Just wanted to say a giant thank you to John (manager), Deanna (manager), Leland, Steven, Connor, Dave (general manager) and everyone! After buying a lot of tanks, received great service and fishroom shaping up thanks to you guys!! read more

This store is ok. They have a nice selction of fish but the overall experince isn't that good. The people that work at this store are not into helping you at all. I was one of the only people looking at fish when I went in there and NOBODY was aorund. I had to go to the front of the store to find 4 employees all standing around a fish tank display talking about how they all wished they could buy that tank. Then I ask them "excuss me can I get some help" and they look at me like how dare you bother me to help you, cant you see I'm talking to my friends. Really not a good thing at all. The fish are ok the prices are high and the poeple that work there are lazy and not into helping you at all. I would say if you live near the other Aquarium Adventure off of boughton road and I-355 go to that store. Even though its out of my way the people are friendly and evey time I go in I practly have to beat employees off with a stick to stop them from helping me. Thats the way a store should run. I would never spend my money at a store that treats you with dissrespect, and that's only if they notice you. Needless to say they will never be getting my money again. read more

Heads up Aquarium Adventure enthusiasts and fans! I visited Aquarium Adventure in Carle Place, Long Island yesterday 12/16 to buy freshwater plants. The store was closed with a 'Bank Ordered Going Out of Business' Auction to be held on Sunday, December 19, 2010. Information about the Auction may be found at this URL: http://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/1018920.html and pictures of the items to be auctioned may be found at this URL: http://www.collarcityauctions.com/12192010/setone/index.html Since I recently joined the Fish Club, the sudden closing is a shock and disappointment. read more

The store itself.. It is an awesome store! One of the most exotic fish stores near me! The only downside is.. Everyone here gives their own advice.. I am a beginner at fish keeping.. So I brought my friend with me.. He has had pet fish for years.. One day we go in to buy decor.. And we are also looking at fish. One guy said I could get all these fish.. A month later I come to buy the fish another person says that is too dangers for the fish.. This has happened for a week straight.
