They were great and very patient as I walked around the store asking questions. 2 stars instead of 1 because at least after 30 days the fish are still alive, were not sick, etc. NEW FISH OWNERS BEWARE: Do NOT go here if you want any type of advice at all regarding fish. I came in for a single male betta, some aquatic plants, seachem stability and micropellets, and media / filter to get a 5G tank cycling started before actually buying the betta. He instead sold us 3 betta females encouraging us to start a sorority tank inside a 5G, that it didn't need cycling, and that I was going a bit far to buy so many things for "just one fish." Listen, I get you have to upsell and it was easy to tell I was new to the hobby. But I take things seriously, and once I got home and looked everything up -- I discovered the horrendous reality that the 3 female bettas were most likely going to attack each other and die within 7-10 days. Within 24 hours I had to separate them into tiny glass vases because they started chasing each-other relentlessly, bullying the smallest one, and it was extremely stressful. Maybe it's my fault for being talked into it because I had only done research regarding a single betta. This guy pretty much set me up for failure from the get go. Fast forward one month, I now have a 20G tank (recommended 5G per a single fish), it finally finished its FIRST full ammonia/nitrite/nitrate cycle, and I have a community tank of 8 harlequin rasboras, the 3 female bettas that I still have to monitor, a nitrite snail, and plenty of plants. Funny how if he really did give good advice, I would've come back tenfold for the good price and general cleanliness. But nope! I'm new to the hobby but have already experienced at least three stores other than Bob's that treated me better, had a better understanding of guidance about fish, etc. Extremely appalled by the type of guidance I got here. All about money this guy.

If there is something you want, they can order it for you: I wanted an albino bristlenose plecostomus, and they ordered it special and is arrived within a couple of weeks. Fish are slightly more expensive than the big-box stores, but of much better quality and in much better health. I've been coming here for about 3 years and am a completely satisfied customer. I recommend this store in the highest possible terms for anyone who owns or is interested in owning an aquarium!

I have bought a couple of tanks here, most of my frozen food and most of my fish. Anytime I need something, they either have it or know where to get it. They have fish no one else has and the health of the fish are top rate. If you are looking for fresh water or slat water fish, they have it. The personnel are knowledgeable and always pleasant. Prices are competitive. Better pricing than you will find at Petco and better quality fish. Lots of Pros and no Cons.

We came in looking for a betta fish for our daughter and asked what tank mates could live with it. He gave us a few options, but once he found out our setup was only a 3-gallon tank, he immediately changed his recommendation and suggested either one of two smaller options or simply letting the betta be the king of its castle. I also asked about getting a nerite snail, and instead of selling me one on the spot, he told me to come back in a few weeks because a new tank wouldn't have enough algae or biofilm for it to eat yet. That kind of honesty is rare. It's clear he genuinely cares about the fish and wants his customers to be successful, not just make a sale. Definitely recommend supporting this shop!

I first visited about 1.5 weeks ago and purchased a fish that died within 24hrs. I took it back to the store and was offered a slight discount toward a replacement fish. The new fish has also now died (~1week later). I have a well-established tank (10+years) with three other adult fish who haven't had any issues, and we closely monitor our water conditions especially after that first fish. I can only conclude that this place is selling sick/poor quality fish. Not worth the risk when the store refuses to take accountability for the quality of their product.
