I've been to this location twice now, and let me tell you -- the staff here are incredibly knowledgeable. They don't just sell you fish and send you on your way. They take the time to: 1 Check your water quality 2 Help you actually understand what those numbers mean They explain how tanks go through different spikes before leveling out and becoming safe for fish, which is so important if you want your new pet to thrive. What I really appreciate is that they help you choose fish wisely so that when you bring a new pet home, it actually has a strong chance of survival in your tank. That kind of guidance matters. Plus, almost everything in most of the tanks is for sale, which makes it fun to browse and plan your setup. If you care about doing things the right way and giving your fish the best start possible, this is definitely a place to check out. read more

Expensive, don't stand behind their products, character of ownership is questionable and untrusting

Love this place, so much knowledge to learn from the entire staff and beautiful aquariums well maintained and displayed. Jack is my go to guy that is always a pleasure to work with! read more

This store is amazing. Super helpful when needing help with a new tank. They are willing to go the extra mile to lend a hand and everyone in the store is super knowledgeable. 100% recommend read more

This place has changed so much over the years. Half the tanks are cloudy and house a dead fish or two. They resell surrendered fish for insane prices. $150 for an Oscar?!? They have 2 adult bearded dragons for sale, $600 and $500. When I asked about them the (RUDE) manager shared they weren't really in "the reptile business" so they aren't in any hurry to reduce the price to sell them. read more

It was pretty expensive considering some other offerings in the county. The exact same tank we purchased in a big box was double the price here. Although the staff was friendly they seemed a bit clingy and kept asking us what we wanted to buy almost as if they were on a sales based salary?? I don't think I'd go back. Fun place to visit but not shop. I can only speak for freshwater as I don't keep salt tanks. read more

Blue Fish Aquariums - Eel dude. - Local Fish Stores Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

A fish store that doesn't quarantine incoming fish..... these guys are literally no better than Petsmart, Petco or Pet Supplies Plus..... I bought some Platy's from these guys, kid pushed the fish already in the bag from their Friday shipment, I was none the wiser. They ended up having a bacterial infection that wiped out my whole tank. Yep, I'll never shop here again...... True lesson I learned is to quarantine and medicate any incoming fish regardless of where they come from. I'm a hobbyist and really put my faith in THEIR knowledge, that burnt me badly.....Never again Blue Fish, never again... Also, their prices are outrageous. read more

Me and my family went to Blue fish aquarium looking for turtles for my daughter NO ONE spoke to us asked us if we needed any help or nothing that awesome customer service I keep telling myself they didn't speak because we had masks on because of COVID but it's sad to say it mite have been because we was the only black people in the store definitely never getting business from me. read more

On a whim, today myself and my 2 sons entered. I have always wanted a salt water aquarium and it's been years that I ever seen a place such as this. They have one of the largest salt water stocked fish deposits I have did see. The gentleman who answered my hundred questions was very knowledgeable and honest. I like when a salesperson is honest right off! I was given ideas and zero sales pressure to buy. Apparently I need to reconsider saltwater and plan to return to purchase a complete fresh water set up. Just an overall wonderful store from experience which you don't get from the Internet! read more

horribly horribly disappointed..no returns accepted.. fees 30% higher than other pet stores. will never return to store!!!

Terrible experience at this place. I went to this establishment to purchase a shark. The associate I dealt with that day sold me a fish for $220 that was supposedly a shark, but I later found out through a friend that it was a cat fish. In a desperate attempt to sell the fish, the representative referred to the fish as a shark to entice me to purchase it. I'm no fish expert, so I took the word and advice from the people I thought were professionals in the fish field. When I called to question the purchase and get further details about the fish I was treated very nasty on the phone. I expressed my frustration to a manager but he offered me no resolution for the problem and told me I should have done my research. Being a repeat customer I was extremely upset with the way I was treated. The manager had a complete lack of compassion for the situation and essentially brushed me off and swept my concerns under the rug. He was very nonchalant and showed no remorse for what they had done. As I mentioned before, I'm no expert in the aquatic world and have no way of knowing if I'm being misled until someone knowledgeable informs me. I just happen to like fish. I will never purchase anything from this establishment again and I suggest no one else does either. Misleading consumers just to make a sale is never right, especially when the fish costs a couple hundred dollars. Not once did they try to make the situation right and that's what hurt the most. I felt so belittled and disrespected throughout this entire process, and no paying customer should feel that way. read more

I accidentally ran into this store when I was on my way back from Costco. I stepped in there and it is a saltwater store. I don't own a saltwater tank, only freshwater planted tank, so I can't comment much on their selections, but the fish and corals seem very healthy and happy. There were a lot of customers inside shopping. The staff were super helpful. They directed me to some other local fish stores that sell freshwater supplies. Overall, a great local store for saltwater aquarium. read more

Really cool salt water aquarium shop. Not ready to start a tank, but definitely worth the visit. They know what they are doing!!

My husband and I are new to saltwater and the staff has been extremely knowledgeable and excited to assist us. There is ample staff on hand to answer questions and provide information. The tanks are impeccably clean and their vast selection of fish, corals, and inverts all appear healthy and well taken care of. Their marine life is all bred in captivity. Price-wise, they are on the high-end, but do offer a mailing list that includes deals and coupons. High praise because the staff at this location are top notch, all seem to have some type of experience with salt water- from the new beginner just starting out, to an owner with a degree in marine biology! If you are a saltwater enthusiast, or would just like to look at some beautiful arrays of aquatic life, do not pass this place by! read more

Moved to the area recently and had been in unable to find a good shop within a close proximity. I had blue fish recommended by a friend. This place is not only close by, but the selection is great and the staff is fantastic. Super knowledgable and friendly, traits which can often be mutually exclusive. I was very impressed by the selection and health of everything in stock: inverts, fish, and coral. I will be back soon. read more

Entered the store today as a returning customer. I was greeted by several employees and they were all pleasant however after looking around at the aquariums for a short time I was approach by who I think was the manager. He asked me if I had any question and I replied that I was doing ok. Then he responded that there is no browsing in the store and that he would let me stay for 10 minutes. I left after browsing for a couple of minutes and I will never return to the shop. I will take my business elsewhere.I know the owner from visiting the store in the past but I haven't seen him in a long time. I assume he sold his business to this gentleman who approached me and rudely told me that I had to leave. I usually drop 200 to 250 at any saltwater fish store I visit but not this time.So you can brag all you guys want about how clean the store. Is and wide selections of wildlife but service means everything to me and if want excellent service and quality wildlife check out Salty Critter in Vermillion . read more

I have been there several times as I am an hour away, and I did buy fish there a year ago. Drove the hour Sunday 8/21 for the purpose of buying some fish, the show tanks look great but when i want to buy something, they said none of those fish was for sell, unless I wanted to pay 3 times the normal price, they did not say that but after asking how much a small Sailfin that was in a frag tank and was told $100- $125 because of the tank it was in. I was directed to the back tanks for fish that were for sale, the fish in the back tank are very sick and in dirty conditions. There was 1 blue hippo that was so beat up and half of his tail was missing, I felt so bad. I would never introduce fish into my tank living in those environment, That was a great store 2 years ago, but they have fallen into despair. I ask about the price of an unusual black and white fish and was told between $800- and $1200 dollars, really, aka as how much can you spend, blew off all the negative reviews but now I have to believe them. Its sad to see a great saltwater store become a Petco. read more
