Healthiest fish I have ever seen, all in natural environments. The fish are NOT overcrowded whatsoever and homed with those of the same species, environment, needs, and temperament. Entire ecosystems in each individual tank that balance each other out incredibly, with snails, loaches, frogs, and plecos as cleanup crew. Not a SINGLE speck of buildup or algae in any of the tanks. Store itself is very clean and organized. The man who helped us was absolutely incredible in his knowledge of the different kinds of fish and plants, as well as the individual needs of each and everything. I would shop there even if it was expensive, but the prices are cheaper than any other breeder/supplier/store I have ever seen and come from people who are genuine and talented at what they do. Bought all of the equipment for a tank (tubing, air pump, sponge and vessel) AND all different kinds of plants to start a little pond setup for my frog and spent no more than $50 for what would cost you nearly a hundred at a pet store, and for double the quality! Only place I ever recommend shopping at regarding all needs fish and plant related. Worth going out of your way for. Tip jar was overflowing with other happy customers.

I used to be a customer here, however that changed very quickly. I bought a cactus my first time, and I quite loved it. The second time I went there while my boyfriend worked there, and the owner added me on social media right after I left. It was really odd. The owner said nothing to my boyfriend about it and he didn't really even approach me all that well to begin with. This same person continued to reach out via text to my boyfriend at 11 pm at night, proceeding to harrass him instead. It was completely unprofessional, and I'm not sure if I'm ever going to feel comfortable shopping there again.

  • Cindy Wathen

Quite possibly the prettiest guppies I’ve seen. I just lost a parrot that was 8 and it was hard for me not to replace her with one of the several beauties in their large tank to quickly heal my heart. My new obsession though…shrimp! The shrimp are gorgeous (no culls here) and fairly priced! Like online ordering bulk price price! I’m not mad that I pass by this spot off 465 frequently . Super patient and knowledgeable staff which is always something I appreciate. See ya soon!

  • Deidre Fallon

I visited during their grand opening and was not disappointed! Great pricing, very helpful staff, and a nice inventory. I talked to the owners and they were very helpful with stocking suggestions and offered to order specific fish for me. My kids loved Axolotl Island and the glow room, as well as the waterfall display in the front. I brought home fish, plants, and shrimp and all are doing well in my tank so far. I'm looking forward to visiting again!

THE BEAT PLANT SELECTION I’VE EVER SEEN! Tanks are beautiful and all planted! Fish looked very healthy, staff were super chill and hooked me up with some nice deals. You gotta protect these small pet shops at all costs! So if you’re down by the greenwood area and are looking for nice plants for your aquarium and some healthy and vibrant colored fish you better drive down and give this place a look!

  • BiffLeedle

Staff were awesome and had some locally bred stock. Store looked great for just starting, their koi pond alone is worth seeing. They have a whole room for glofish to start your kids interest in fish keeping. Also have their own line of fish food the owners designed and fomulated. Animals and plants looked healthy and happy. Great store and looking forward to seeing it grow.

  • Payton Lindahl

This place is awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff helped me pick exactly what I was looking for to add to my fish tank. They offered advice for an issue I was having with my tank. Highly recommend to any fish keeper and or plant lover as they have a healthy variety to choose from for both. The prices are adequate and compete with similar establishments.

  • Logan Witte

Awesome store, especially for experienced fishkeepers. You can tell they know their stuff just by looking at what they stock. Awesome prices, no frills or gimmicky dry goods that you don't want, just tanks, tanks, and more tanks. Lots of cool oddballs that you don't always get to see, I definitely see this place getting a lot of my money in the near future!

  • Dena Anderson

My husband and I bought 11 female bettas for a sorority tank. The fish were well taken care of, not to mention beautiful. The tank was clean and suited for the fish. The employees were very knowledgeable and kind. We highly recommend them. The prices are reasonable. The videos are after we got the fish home so you can see their beauty.

  • Heidi Strode

Loved this place. Walked in and felt like I was in a tropical rain Forrest. A bunch of plants to choose from inside and outside the tanks. A lot of cool fish to choose from. We will definitely be coming back to fulfill my fish hobby! Highly recommend

  • Cody Ladd

Great local fish shop. Wonderful news addition to the local hobby scene. Quality plants and good prices. Brought my 4 year old in and they were super patient with all his excitement and questions. Eager to see how the shop continues to grow.

  • Samantha R

Have gone multiple times since opening. There is a huge variety of freshwater fish. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable and is constantly doing things to improve the store. This is the only place we buy our fish from.

  • Alexis

No one was in the store when I visited for my first time. When I finally left after 10 or so mins of looking around with no employees, I noticed a worker was sitting in his car, parked in the back, doing nothing.

  • Jamie Lear

Love this place! We have been multiple times since they opened. They are upfront and honest! Great prices and the staff is always awesome! I’m looking for another tank largely because of how they have been!

Be warned - I was going out of my way to do business with this guy, and he tried changing the price on me when I arrived, and then welched on our deal. Sketchy person, avoid doing business with.
