    It's hard to find an independently owned store that sells tropical and salt water fish in this area. In fact, this may be the only one! I don't know how long they've been in the biz, but for at least the last dozen years that I know of. The building itself is sizeable and painted with a fun under the sea scene with brightly colored paint. That in itself is attractive enough to draw anyone in! Inside they have a huge variety of fish and supplies to keep those who enjoy this hobby happy. Some say their prices are high. Can't say as I haven't owned a tank in so many years. I just stop in about once every few years just to browse and enjoy seeing all that they offer. On a recent visit I was happy to see they're still around, especially since most people seem to go to Petsmart and whatever the other big box pet store is in the area to fulfill their tropical fish collection desires. As I perused through the store enjoying the fish I saw a couple of tanks that looked like it was time for some cleaning maintenance. Continuing down the aisles I was shocked to see there were in fact several in dire need of some serious cleaning. I mean it was beyond the stage of an algae buildup and the water was very, very cloudy. The fish seemed to be hanging in there, considering the conditions, but none that I would buy from such a badly kept habitat. Honestly, I don't know what to make of what I saw beyond more tanks than I've ever seen in a store being so unkempt. I didn't post any pictures of them in case it's taken care of by the time this review posted, but I've never encountered this before in all the years I've visited. I hope for the sake of the fish that this is addressed - and quickly!

    Service and selection were great! Best place around for your freshwater tank needs. Great supply and unique fish that we haven't seen anywhere else. Also lots of reptile supplies and some saltwater stuff as well.

    See all

    This isn't your average pet store! Specializing in reptiles, they also offer hedgehogs and betta…read morefish. Their selection of supplies is impressive, with everything from live food to cages and accessories for both new and existing enclosures. But what sets this place apart? They feature an excellent plant section with options that are perfect for including into the habitats. The owners are exceptionally knowledgeable about both plants and animals, and their dedication is evident. They're not just looking to make a sale--the well-being of their animals come first and would rather not have a sale than risk sending them to an unsuitable home. The store also has a great seating area crafted from a tree trunk, with beautiful paintings done by the owner. They even host children's reading events and story times there. If I were local, I'd be here every week! The store is immaculately clean, with a thoughtfully organized layout that lets you see everything easily. The team is incredibly friendly and takes the time to educate customers. Whether you're in the area or considering a reptile (or plant), this is the place to visit. The animals are not only unique but also exceptionally well cared for. You won't find a better selection of animals or supplies, and you definitely won't find a better staff to help you. Don't miss out--come by and check it out, even if it's just for a browse!

Cats, rabbits, dogs, birds, they have it! My biggest complaint, though, is pricing. Some things are way overpriced and others are on the lower end. There's no real balance when it comes to their prices so just know that going in. We bought our dog a few hide-free bones and a toy, which they have a great selection of both. However, with the confusion on prices, I'm unsure if we will be back for anything other than the treats we normally buy her and toys (since those were reasonable). Oh! And they have Ziwi which is normal priced, so that's a bonus!
