    Cool looking stung rays.
    Joey M.

    This place is so much fun. They have a large selection of salt and fresh water fish and a nice selection of snails and shrimp. I will say that their fresh water plants left me wanting but the customer service more than made up for it.

    What a wonderful aquarium store. This place is huge. They have unique things like stingray and more. Everyone of their tanks are filled with fish. Salt water and fresh water fish. They have coral . They have a big section of drift wood and hardscape. The variety of fish food is good. They have good selection of substrate. I like the colors of gravel. My Number 1 reason I like this store so much is that they have all different tank ideas on display. I have taken plenty of pictures over the years and have gotten some excellent ideas for my own tanks. Great help from staff. I have asked lots of questions I am only 4 years into fish keeping. They are Knowledgeable about everything. I have really appreciated the help and suggestions

    Every time we come to VA beach my husband wants to make a pit stop here. They have a wide selection of fish, salt, brackish and fresh. My only complaint is their pricing is kind of high for fish in general. The store is clean and well kept. If you're looking for food and fish supplies you can find it here. Support local businesses.

    Here is a planaria that I got from them.

    Beware buying fish or plants here. They have planaria in there fish tanks. My tank ended up with planaria which killed all my cherry shrimp when I bought moss from them. I went in and told them and showed them the live planaria in their tanks and 2 months later I found that they still have planaria in many of their tanks. It cost me over $150 worth of nano shrimp and I ended up having to trash my aquarium and start all over with brand new substrate, plants, and nano shrimp. I had to bleach everything that I wanted to save from the old tank and start the nitrogen cycle all over again before I can add any shrimp or fish to the tank. I was just in there this week and they still have planaria in there stable tanks, nano shrimp tanks and multiple tropical fish tanks.

    Fantastic store I could spend hours in. The three goldfish I have gotten from here are thriving! Craig has been an amazing help, and so has the gentleman in the pond room. (I don't remember his name, I am so sorry.) The prices are extremely fair, as you're not getting cheap fish like from a Petsmart. This store is a good distance away from me but I will absolutely drive here for any and all my fish needs. Oh! Also the black orchid betta I bought from here last year is still trucking in his gorgeous aquascaped tank!

    See all

    They had shrimp in stock that no other store (5 others) had. And they had plenty. Their setup is amazing!

    I should have listened to the reviews and looked for another store…read more I have been looking for a parrot to bring into the family for a while. I've done plenty of research online, but this was my first time going to look at birds in person. Seeing this was a family run business, I decided to bring my business here rather than a big box store. Big mistake. Almost everyone working seemed to be stuck up teenagers and young adults. My family was in the store for about 30 min and not a single employee offered any assistance. Not even a simple hello. The bird section was absolute chaos. There's TONS of birds jammed into a small corner of the store which seems to be, by far, their most popular animal. The aisles are cramped and it's hard to hear anything with all the birds chirping away. There were 2 employees feeding/ tending to birds. They were pretty much ignoring everyone. I tried to ask a few questions about different species, yet I felt like an annoyance to them.. then I simply got told, if you're new to birds, just get a cockatiel. The guy wouldn't really give any information on any of the other species. I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need in my home before buying a bird, but it seems like they'd rather you just pay $$ now and quit bothering them. There's a bunch of signs up saying NO PICTURES everywhere. It felt like a prison with the wide variety of threatening signs all over the place. I did notice the cages seemed very over priced. An A&E cage I saw on Chewy for $300 was marked up to like $700 in there. The cockatiels were a couple hundred dollars more than Pet Smart. I wanted to avoid going to somewhere like Pet Smart or Petco to get a pet bird, but after this experience, I'll just take my business there. At least they have employees that seem like they care about helping customers. It's a shame to see a local business that can't provide better service than corporate big box stores. If it wasn't for your exorbitant prices, I suspect you'd be out of business by now.

    So I used to come here quite often until I noticed a trend in who couldn't and could actually…read morehandle the small animals. So I scaled my patronage down a bit. Fast forward to today. My husband told me about some smaller bunnies he'd seen in there a few weeks ago. As I own a few New Zealand Bucks. Personally my trip in today was for a live feeder rat for my 6 year old ball python. Needless to say I saw two little bunnies behind a little girl who was sitting on a bench who actually wasnt even aware they were behind her because I asked were they hers and she said no. So then I asked the young lady at the counter could the bunnies be held or pet and she said yes. Soon as I go to pick up a bunny another lady who 1. Fails to even identify whom she is states Oh no you cant hold it, but you can pet it. So let me get this straight as a potential customer I cant hold an animal I'm potentially interested in?? So how many people go to buy a car and just purchase it right off the lot, no test drive? I'll wait... My point is every time I come into Pet Paradise I'm being told oh you can pet the bunnies or the ferrets but you cant hold them. Mind you I've seen "others," allowed to do just that. I've owned every animal mentioned previously in my 40+ years but it appears only certain people have the privilege here to actually interact with potential furbabies. Whelp they say word of mouth is the best form of marketing so figured I'd put the word out because it's a reoccurring theme I'm quite tired of and figured I'd let folks know about the fickle behavior of oh peep this the supposed manager who "Can Do what she wants," as I was told by the young lady behind the counter. Now last I checked a manager wasnt the owner but hey what do I know? I just need to find a better pet store with similar or BETTER options closer to me in Suffolk. Nobody buys cars without test driving, nobody adopts a dog without interacting, so why am I limited to petting a rabbit only and not holding it, but told oh you can hold it if your intentions is to buy one by the young lady behind the counter.. whew I could say so much but trust me I dont think I have to.

    This is the first pet store where I've seen two turtoises roaming freely. They have a ton of fresh…read morewater fish, especially cichlids, turtles, birds. The talking parrot was fun to mess around and conversation with. There is a lot going on at this pet store. Everything is alive and meant for people who have a fish hobby or looking to explore their reptile section. The smell of pets in the air is bearable consider they carry many little animals like guinea pig, hamsters, snakes and lizards. But perhaps their carpet can get some shampooing. But I get it, they have free roaming turtoises on the loose, leaving gifts for the pet store associates to clean without a doubt. They have the a lot of fresh water fish selections, I'd advise people looking for salt water, swimming friends ...to go else where.

    I typically go to PetSmart or Pet Supplies Plus to get crickets for my two crested geckos, but they…read moredidn't have the appropriate size there so I decided to go to Simply Pets for the first time. HUGE MISTAKE! Within days of purchasing crickets from this place, both of my crested geckos are dead. They lived in separate terrariums next to each other, and were very different ages (9 y/o and around 1 y/o). All conditions were EXACTLY the same besides where I purchased the crickets from, and within 3-4 days, both of my healthy geckos were dead! Following this incident, my mother and I called the store and the initial woman who picked up directed me to the owner, Jeff, who immediately gave extreme attitude and disregarded our concerns. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy insects for their beloved reptiles from this establishment. With heavy hearts, RIP Shawn and Shawna. P.S. that tank is NOT big enough for that alligator snapping turtle. No wonder the damn thing doesn't move, IT CAN'T!

I stocked up on a bag of dog food and some dental chews. I definitely recommend signing up for their email list because this was a great deal and I don't believe they had any restrictions. I did curbside pickup and it went smoothly. The employee bringing my items out was friendly. I will definitely be back.

    Quick Stop at Pet Supplies Plus…read more Okay, so we usually go to PetSmart for our essentials, but today we decided to try something new and check out Pet Supplies Plus -- mostly because it's way closer to home. Sometimes convenience wins, right? We popped in to grab Lexi's usual -- Hill's Science Diet for Sensitive Stomachs (bougie bellies only ‍) -- and let me tell you, they had a huge selection of dog food options. The store was pretty busy but well-stocked, which is always a good sign. I wish I had taken some photos (next time, I promise!), but I did take a quick stroll down the aisles to see if they had any dog clothes... and sadly, no outfits in sight. You know Lexi doesn't go anywhere without a fit check, so we always scope out the fashion section. On the bright side, they had: Tons of treats A great variety of toys Leashes, collars, and accessories ...but no sparkle, no glam, no bougie wear The price for our dog food was a bit higher than what we usually pay at other spots, but for the convenience of being so close to home, it worked out just fine this time. So would we go back? Maybe for quick pickups. But for fashion? We'll have to keep looking.
