pulled up to his house and there was an "open" sign above a door. my son and I walked in the door,…read morewhich was a garage we followed the single path through to the stairs and into the store where we were rudely met by Randy (the owner) and another customer. Randy asked me where we came from and I told him the garage, he informed me that his wife was about to shoot us. in a rough tone and curt manor he stated there is a parking lot on the side of the garage. I said I didn't know because I didn't approach the the store from that side and there were no signs directing us in that direction. I'm not sure about anyone else but I am accustom going through the door that has an open sign above it. so he asked me what we were looking for and I told him 2 75 gallon tanks. he quoted me a price if 135.95 each, for used tanks that have been sitting in his back yard for years. he assured that they came with a 30 day guaranty, which I'm sure wouldn't have covered any damage to my house when the tanks blew out. complete jerk and he's selling junk. beware.

Ryan installed our reef tank a few years ago and we have really enjoyed it. We look forward to the…read moremonthly cleanup visits to see what he has for us! Having a tank can get pricey but Ryan was able to find used equipment in excellent shape so we were able to focus more on fish, coral and lighting. We had no idea what we even wanted when we started and Ryan was wonderful with choosing fish but growing coral is a real talent of his and I have to say that we love the live coral almost as much as the fish! They are really beautiful and add to the tank in a way that I couldn't have imagined. Ryan is a great guy, very organized and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Fantastic assortment of species, equipment, & knowledge. (5 )…read more For over 7yrs we have been going here and enjoyed the atmosphere, education, & personal attention our son got from the owner & "some" staff. As he had a 70g fresh water & 30g saltwater (5 ) he would spend every penny he had & beg us to take him weekly He recently took his 3yr clown fish in hopes to sell it back - as he has done with a few of his other previously purchased fish from BF. The young person offered him $5 he bought the fish for $8 and it's tripled in size.. hands down bigger than any clown fish in the store (1 ) He told them that was insulting - as would I & asked to speak to the mgr - the kid said, I am & all I'm giving you is $5 (1 ) Needless to say, Nemo was happily donated to our family chiropractor. It isn't about money, it's about principle & doing what's right. Shame on you, kid behind the counter Monday afternoon 3/14/22 at BFA. We'll gladly spend our money elsewhere

Could not believe the amount of filth and dirty tanks. Made me feel bad for all the fish…read more Immediately left and went elsewhere. Was looking around in the Kalamazoo area for a saltwater aquarium and thought I'd stop in to check it out because it is a new local business, must be good. Right? Wrong. This was the dirtiest pet store that I have ever been in. I felt absolutely horrible for the fish and would have bought them all to get them out of that cesspool. Immediately left and went to the Dutch Family Reef. Was surprised by the attitude that the staff had toward me. Came off as very condescending and arrogant when I brought up the cleanliness of their tanks.
