I love this place!…read more You know how your kid bugs you for a fish tank and promises to take care of it only to lose interest as soon as the first pair of guppies dies? Well, that was me over 50 years ago except I never lost interest. I've been keeping fish and visiting fish stores around the country for my entire life. The people from World Of Fish who started RiverShore Aquariums have done a great job. Located not far from the original World of Fish, RiverShore has clean tanks, friendly and knowledgeable staff and they are super keyed in on planted tank setups. These days my tanks are relatively simple just to keep things easy, rocks and driftwood mostly, but I've been wanting to do a planted tank for a while. I know the basics but had some questions on substrate, plant selection and lighting for what is basically going to be a freshwater nanotank. The staff person who helped me was super knowledgeable, answered my questions and gave me some good advice for getting started. They had a good selection of different kinds of gravel as well as an assortment of driftwood and rocks. I liked that they have a table where you can do a little aquascaping trial and error before you make a final selection. The fish were high quality and appeared healthy. Most were smaller species suitable for planted tanks. I even discovered a new species that I had never heard of - anchor catfish. Super cool and perfect for my little nanotank. I know enough about fish and have been to enough fish stores to know which ones are really good. Rivershore is at the top of the list if you live in the Twin Cities, and especially if you're interested in giving planted tanks a try. Even if its plants aren't your thing or you are new to the hobby, I'd checkout Rivershore for your first aquarium.

This is such a fantastic fish store. You know that one friend whose house is always immaculately…read morepristine, such that -- no matter how recently or how well you've cleaned your own house -- you always feel a little self-conscious & guilty when you visit theirs? Rivershore Aquariums is that friend: All the tanks are SO clean, and so perfectly lit, and all the fish are ready for their closeups. It's like an aquatic Parade of Homes in there -- 0% chance of the "Oh gosh, that fish looks so sick, should I mercy-buy it & set up a hospital tank & try to save it? Or should I not give this place my money?" experience. You should definitely give this place your money. They also sold me the sweetest, most industrious little pleco I've ever had in my life. I bought her as a bristlenose pleco, but she's secretly some kind of Turbo Pleco -- as in, my tank gets direct sunlight (can't be avoided), and it had the algae to match, but a week after I brought my new plec'ling home, I found myself asking a visitor, "Hey, you didn't clean the inside of the 55gal while you were here, did you?" (Spoiler: No, I do not have tank-cleaning houseguests. I just have a magic pleco.)

Such a cool spot to buy fish or anything you need for fish tanks!…read more There was a variety of cool fish, salt water fish, piranha, turtles, cat fish and more Tip: You can feed the turtles for 25 cents so bring quarters! The machine was out of food at the time so just go to the front and they'll give you some. I fed the turtles and they were so fun to watch They had Salt Water fish but not too many at the time so maybe call before if that's what you're looking for Workers were awesome and answered all of our questions Free parking lot No public restrooms

I am only a freshwater keeper and New Wave Aquaria is exclusively saltwater, but I know enough to admire the beautiful fish, soft corals, and hard corals they have throughout their store. The fish and corals all appear to be super healthy, the staff were incredibly helpful, and if I were looking to get into saltwater this is exactly where I would be going. The store was so clean and they even had pretty good deals on the other water care items so I bought a bottle of Seachem prime.

Knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly staff. Could you get your corals and fish cheaper online?…read moreProbably. Will that be a better experience than visiting the beautiful local fish store? Certainly not. In an already expensive hobby, it is, in my opinion, worth the small premium to be able to go to a (nice) retail store and talk out your purchases with a knowledgeable staff member before you invest hundreds to thousands in livestock. Would recommend

Hugo is a Frenchie, so we've struggled a bit to find a daycare/boarding facility that would be comfortable for my high-maintenance little guy. Well, Lucky Dog exceeds "comfortable" by all of the parameters. The staff treats you like you are family - they go above and beyond for the clients and their fur babies. One example - when I pick Hugo up from his daycare playtime, he stubbornly just lays on the ground outside and refuses to get into the vehicle. The front desk girls (without me even asking them), "escort" us to the car and then Hugo happily jumps in and is ready to be on his merry way (until his next visit). As far as the rating Lucky Dog Pet Lodge is 6 STARS out of 5!!!! Thank you for being part of our lives!
