    Every time I go to The Aquatic Critter I am impressed. The tanks are always clean, the staff is always friendly and ready to help, and the livestock is always healthy. They have a huge selection of both freshwater and saltwater fish and corals. Their prices are fair and align with the quality of their products. I know nothing about reptiles so I can't comment on that side of the business, but they have a large selection there as well and the enclosures/animals seems well taken care of.

    Aquatic Critter is my go-to fish store. They offer an excellent variety of high-quality and healthy fish. Chance, one of their friendly and knowledgeable staff, is always there to provide expert advice and guidance. The store is always clean and well-maintained, creating a healthy and inviting environment for the fish. I've bought dozens of fish from Aquatic Critter and enjoyed every one of them. Beyond just a store, Aquatic Critter fosters a sense of community among fish enthusiasts. It's a must-visit for anyone passionate about fishkeeping. I deeply appreciate this store and recommend anyone in Nashville to purchase from these well-kept fish stores who treat fish with the utmost respect rather than big-box stores.

    The best LFS I've ever been to. EXTENSIVE selection of saltwater and tropical fish. The quality of the stock is superb. Everything from the basics you find at most big box pet stores to exotic species unlikely to be found outside of institutional aquariums. Big or nano, they cover the entire range. Beyond specimens for your tank, they've got all the hard goods and accessories other places don't. For example, they have live brine, mounted driftwood and Current full tank lighting say systems. To say the staff is knowledgeable is an understatement. Would be surprised if the majority's the staff held advanced degrees in biology! That said, they're not snobbish and always helpful. They're very giving of their experience and knowledge. Check their website for new stock weekly. If you're coming from outside metro Nashville, call ahead and they'll arrange to hold stuff for you.

    This store is fantastic! The employees are so nice and super knowledgeable. Tommy was so helpful with giving us on a lot of information on the type of reptile that would be best for our four year old! He also gave an estimate on how much it would be to get everything we need. I had never been here until today but really enjoyed this store and will be back for sure. The store is very clean with a huge variety. I was so happy my four year old was able to hold a snake for the first time lol! I was so proud of him! Thank you guys for running an awesome store where people can come and learn about beautiful reptiles, fish and insects.

    I've been using aquatic services for a long time and was really worried about not finding someone…read morewhen we moved to Columbia, TN. After several attempts with some other companies, Reef Route Aquatics seemed like a perfect fit. And when I explained my situation to Deitz, he was very personable and willing to make the drive as well as work with my schedule. It's been a pleasure having this service! From the after service reports to the added education... They are very knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. I would highly recommend this company! Especially if you're new to having aquatic tanks and could use good guidance into the hobby... This is hands down the place to call.

This resulted in him (reluctantly) agreeing to replace filters and install a flow restrictor after realizing his error. He later decided to cancel our contract without notice, on a day that he had indicated he would be there for service, with no prior communication, and only an email after the time I had expected him to come. He also charges $2/gallon to use salt that he provides, and continued to do so, even after I had purchased a bucket of his recommended (read: required) salt. Unprofessional, inflexible, and with poor communication skills.
