Worst

they know about fish but they are sarcastic smart asses and were of absolutely no help other than muttering out annoyed half angry answers and then talk about you amongst themselv...

not helpful 8/25/2012

Terrible customer service.   Asked for a product and guy didn't seem to have the time to look for it or point me in the right direction and just said "were out".  I wandered around the store and found what I was looking for covered in dust, had obviously been hanging there for quite awhile.  Bought item just because it was late and iI didn't feel like going anywhere else. Will never be back.  Years ago that was the go to store, how things have changed. more

Fountain's Aquarium is not that good 9/28/2009

they know about fish but they are sarcastic smart asses and were of absolutely no help other than muttering out annoyed half angry answers and then talk about you amongst themselves. They have a typical selection of fish...you can find the same thing at any pet store. Prices are not competitive. your just as well going to any pet store if you are getting anything other than a brand new expensive aquarium or something custom. you still could probably find better people and a better deal somewhere else more

Custom Job- no problem 6/16/2008

I needed a very large custom built aquarium stand that needed to be much lower than normal. The filter had to be placed on the side to save space and the lid had to be cut in a hinged shelf as to not interfere with my bar. I called a number of stand makers, no one would help me. They made it for me. It was a absolute excellent quality! It exceeded my expectations! more

Big selection 9/18/2006

We used to get our fish here all the time - they have a very large selection of fish - both saltwater and freshwater, and the people there know what they are selling and can advise you and help answer any questions you may have. Good selection of bulbs, tanks, etc... more

Do you know Aquariums? 7/14/2005

If you are looking for people who know everything about aquariums, this is it. All of the staff seems to have made it their lifes work to know everything there is to know about fish. They will set you up for the first time or help you enlarge your exiting aquarium. They do everything from home cleaning to telling you how long your fish should last more
