Best LFS (local fish store) in the area!…read more Albeit small this store packs a big punch into its cramped quarters. They have everything to outfit a basic beginner tank to high end CO2 Aquascape, freshwater tanks and high end coral or fish only saltwater set ups! If you've got a desire for monster South American cichlids, they got you covered there as well. Not into aggressive fish?... then they have high-quality betta fish and guppies in the back. C-Macs employees are very knowledgeable about every aspect of the hobby, and are willing to answer even the simplest questions and provide the best solution for your situation. They don't push sales, but try to fit the needs of every customer. I've been in there when it's super packed and there's barely any room to move and the employees are still positive and happy to share their knowledge and help with everyone. I even asked if they were going to move to a larger location and the owner mentioned, he's been looking, but hasn't found the right one yet. If you're old enough to remember the old Fintastic fish store that was the gold standard in Charlotte. This is basically the new version and to be honest it's even better!

We went in on a Sunday and I have to say I'm used to animals and pet stores having worked at Petsmart for a year. If you have asthma please be careful because the smell is a bit strong/guffy. I liked the variety of items from live plants, tanks, bio actives, feeders, supplies, etc. so that was awesome. I was less impressed with the chaotic nature of the shop. Lots of animals everywhere, not sure which were store sold versus part of the rescue and rehab portion of the store. (Love that they do rescue) Not sure if they just don't have a back room to keep supplies but a lot of store use items were on the sales floor so it just seemed a bit chaotic and disorganized unfortunately especially with a lot of empty used tanks randomly stacked in some areas. The other really big down side for me was their prices. A rescue crested gecko was about $190 I believe and there were others cresties that lechies, or larger lizards but they seemed high. The other high price was dubia roaches, which were .50c each at $10 only getting me a 20 count for mediums (1inch ish). I support small stores like this but was bit of a disappointment.

Tell the guy what your looking for if he don't have it. He will get it. Everywhere else they over priced the fish and majority are juveniles at prices of adult fish. Here you can get really good sized show fish in addition to your display tanks. Glad to see a place that focuses more so on fish selection than just trying to sell your a bunch of marked up products you can buy on Amazon. As a serious aquarist I highly recommend this place

I had a very disappointing experience with Aqua World…read more Before making the trip, I spoke with them over the phone and clearly explained the size of the fish I was bringing -- approximately one foot each. We agreed on a trade based on that information. I then drove about two hours to the shop. When I arrived, they placed the fish in their tank and then told me they were "too big" for their system. This was confusing because I had already been very clear about their size during our phone conversation. After driving such a long distance, it was frustrating to have them change their position. The fish were slightly stressed from transport, which is normal after a two-hour drive, but they were healthy. I was told they "weren't happy with the way they looked," and no trade was offered at all. Not even a partial trade. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and gas, especially after we had already discussed and agreed on the details beforehand. I just wish they had honored their word or at least tried to work something out. Very disappointing experience.

The store wasn't exactly what I expected however. Although I guess I shouldn't have expected different. Lots of nick-knacks for gift giving ideas and home decor. It kinda lacked a sense of cohesion. Near the front were lanterns with fake-flame candles, Charlotte and NC imprinted items, wall hangings for inside or outside, night gowns, men's underwear and a shelf dedicated to punny bee related merchandise. Once you work your way through all of this you will find that the entire back half of the store is bird-related stuff. Thing seed, feeders and houses. Alongside that are things for deflecting squirrels. It was a bit random to me. Seems like a good stop for random gift ideas if you're looking to buy for someone soon. It kinda has that old lady vibe. Where else can you go for both something for you and something for the grandson you don't know much about? I bet he will like these drawers that say Happy Camper. Or maybe some manly scented face wash. Meanwhile you can drop $40+ on a top of the line bird feeder to put outside your window.
