Awesome place , and customer service is out this world... I'm working on a 54 gal tank reef and with their help I was able to understand the process and getting my salt water tank together. The employees are very knowledgeable about the services and the products that the store have to offer. Couldn't be anymore comfortable to finish my tank read more

See all

This place is my new favorite lfs in the area. It's really clean, the fish look great, and they have some really neat fish. For example, I was there yesterday, and they had this koi variety of either mollies or platies. I forget which. I was so tempted, honestly. They have a lot of especially beautiful live bearers in there, in fact. They also have great bettas. Just absolutely incredible. And, while I wish they kept the majority of their males in larger containers, the water seemed clean and the fish seemed healthy. Anyone who's interested in getting a giant betta, especially, should check this place out, as they had a lot of giant bettas. Anyhow, this is definitely the best lfs in the NMB area. If you live in the area and you don't wanna go far, this is the place to go. They have highly reasonable prices, plus their employees are much nicer and more knowledgeable than they are at the other lfs I've been to in the area. read more

Brian had been servicing my tank for years. My chiller broke and twice he took to be fixed. Both times he charged me and both times the chiller ran 20 minutes and stopped. When I told him I would not pay for him to fix again he decided not to service my tank. Very thin skinned. No apology for taking my money and returning a still broken chiller twice. After all those years I expected better from him. read more

I have a 55 Gal. Saltwater Reef tank. I have dealt with many Local Fish Stores (or LFS for you bloggers), and this place is the best around. The prices are fair, and the knowledge is incredible. They give you as much advise as you need. The other posting from Gina, is a bit true, but that just goes to show you how good they are. Any other LFS you go to will be very speedy, because they don't have a lot of customers. It is a good sign that they are very busy. One time, I misunderstood something and understand that now. But then, I didn't and I became a bit agitated. The owner totally sensed that and completely took care of me, even though I was surely wrong in my point of view. I don't think I will ever visit another LFS based on his gesture and willingness to help his customer. read more

Spent 200 on fish, Cashier somehow can't do math and totally gave me $20 too much back. I was honest and actually walked back in the store after going to my car and gave him the 20 back, he unfortunately STILL didn't understand the math. Next day 1/5 fish died. I called, he blamed my water quality and said "final sale." Somehow my other 4 seem to be surviving - yet it's my water quality? #learnmath #horriblecustomerservice #won'tbereturning read more

When i first came here with my father, we were both intrigued by this place. look for a store clerk by the name of Mike, he's the best! the others are great too! he has new stuff every week. good prices, great fish! read more

Best fish store I have ever been to. Super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Angelo is super great!

Owning a fish tank is a huge commitment. We inherited a 50 gallon saltwater reef tank from someone in my office who was moving. Nigal from the Fish Collection came and moved it from the office to our apartment. But when I called them again to help move from the apartment to our house nobody called me back and as time was a major factor, we ended up managing to do it ourselves (with no casualties!) So we've been going back on and off to Fish Collection for the past three years for supplies and to replace fish as the older ones have passed on to the great porcelain bowl. We have since added a 10 gallon freshwater tank to the family and so I can be regularly seen sloshing gas tanks filled with saltwater from the store on 163rd street because its really convenient to my eldest son's Karate after care and the young ones day care. They always have nice selection of fish and crabs and coral. Sometimes you can be waiting there for a good 15 minutes to a half hour waiting to pay for just water and fish food because they are busy with someone who is buying some big ticket fish which I understand and its fine because its not like buying milk but I wish they had a system in place where you are not standing like a spare wheel at the cash register. They are helpful about any problems you are having with your tank and give advice freely. However, I just wish that they didn't seem to appear to be under pressure so much every time we go there. There is no way to identify who is an employee and who is a customer which is awkward if you don't know who to approach. read more

Charles is awesome! I needed my fishtank drained and cleaned as it had been neglected for over 3 years and was not looking well. Charles cleaned it out and managed to make no mess in the room while doing so! He was very professional, on time, and always communicating with me. My building isnt the easiest to deal with but Charles made sure they had everything they needed and even had to come back a second time to make it work. It's difficult finding people in Miami that are easy to deal with (and SUPER reasonable on price) so I truly appreciate finding Charles! Definitely contact him for anything you need. Thank you Charles!!!! read more

I've just discovered this place and so far I like what I see. Fish and corals seem healthy and prices are very reasonable. I was helped by what it looked like a Filipino guy and he knew what he was talking about. I will update if anything changes. read more

this place was great as far as prices , selection and customer service the staff was very nice and did not rush or follow me they let me take my time and look around when i decided the fish i wanted i let an employee know she quickly caught the exact fish i wanted and charge me after asking if i'd like anything else i just released the fish in one of my tanks at home and as soon as i released it i threw some food he ate right away a clear sign of a very healthy unstressed fish.i stop at all aquarium stores in south florida and this place which i just found yesterday when i bought a fish from there also is truly as good as it gets other locations ive gone to have sick fish expensive fish dumb staff this place is the complete opposite i was so blown away by the great price and service i got for my healthy rare fish i signed up to yelp just to let others know about my positive experience there read more
