The Fish Store

I've been coming to The Fish Store since I was a little kid in the '80s, and oh, how I wish I could travel back in time to those days. While I am by NO means an expert aquarist, I would hope that a specialty shop like this would know a little more than I do (not to mention, being a little friendlier). Not only did they sell me five misidentified juvenile fish on 1/24/10 (3 Red Phantom Tetras were sold as female Black Phantom Tetras [different temperaments, red phantoms are fin-biters and pick on tank-mates], and 2 Flying Foxes were sold as Siamese Algae eaters [HUGE DIFFERENCE in how large they will grow and behavior; flying foxes are EXTREMELY territorial, cannot be housed with another of their kind or body shape, and will severely bully tank-mates ]), the three Tetras were so infected with parasites, that one died within a week, and the other two are still in a medicated hospital tank, and are very unlikely to live past the next day or two. After I was able to re-home one of the Flying Foxes, the other seems okay, other than biting and bullying all of his tank-mates. All in all, a very disheartening experience, and I do not plan on returning any time soon. Pros: Local Business Cons: Diseased Stock, High Prices, Rude Staff more

Great Selection. The most educated staff by far. The rude guy doesn't work there anymore and when he did he taught me a good lesson on learn before you buy. He just lacked some comunication skills. Acrylic tank prices the best you will find. The fish and coral are very healthy and high priced. Staff is the best. Friendly and ready to help. I would sugest a visit and get on the mailing list where you get 1/2 price cuppons and other great exclusive offers. You will be happy you saved. Pros: selection , healthy, educated Cons: price is high more

Great selection of fish and a very knowledgable staff. This is a great store. I stop in there whenever I can and always feel welcome. When I need help, it's there. more

I keep hearing what jerks the employees are. I have never found that to be true. On my first visit I was treated politely and set up with everything I could possibly need to raise my new brood of fish. The man who waited on me was vastly generous with his information and even built me a better light system than I had while I waited. Since then I have been in several times. I always feel I could spend the day there if I choose and as soon as I want help...zip...there is someone who knows just what I need. I like these guys! more

I was amazed with the incredible variety of aquarium fish that The Fish Store had to offer! They had a wide variety of gorgeous, exotic fish. Pros: Gorgeous, Exotic Fish. Enormous Variety of Fish and Plants. It's a FISH store! Cons: Very Overpriced on decorative items and Filters. Slacker employees. Difficulty getting assistance. more
