Atlanta Fish Guy - Our fish tank by Joel, The Atlanta Fish Guy

Atlanta Fish Guy

(5 reviews)

Joel is a wealth of knowledge after being an aquarium specialist for 30 years. He helped me out…read morewith my goldfish and tank. His son David has been working with him for years and is beginning to take over the business. He is also so knowledgeable!

I have to say, anyone who has anything negative to say about Joel, The Atlanta Fish Guy, really…read moredoes not have a clue! Joel has serviced our 180-gallon fish tank for probably 10-15 years. You really don't know what you've got with Joel until you find yourself without him for six months! Our tank had a lot of rock in it because it was originally a salt water tank, which Joel converted to fresh water years ago. Due to having problems with his shoulder and all the heavy rock in our tank, Joel had to stop being our maintenance guy. It was a very sad day for us when he couldn't maintain our tank anymore, but even sadder when after finding a new, supposedly professional fish guy (with good reviews!), he managed to kill every single fish in our tank! There were no mechanical, lighting or fish feeder issues, but a few days after a recent cleaning, our 25 or so fish started acting funny; all on top of the water in the corners. A few days later, every fish was dead. I immediately contacted Joel, with the hope that he could help us again or at least tell me who to call. He was here the next day! With his shoulder feeling better now, he and his son were able to drain every drop of water out and empty and clean all the gravel and rock. The tank is back in action and more beautiful than ever with Peacock cichlids and more plants than rock so it's manageable for him now. It's magnificent and Joel did the job in no time at all! So, here's praying for Joel to have good shoulders for many, many years to come because I NEVER want to be without him again! And after contacting the former guy with a more than nice text message about our ordeal and to tell him we're going back to Joel, his only response was: "OK." Joel is the absolute best and very reasonably priced for his expertise in the field! I feel very fortunate that we live within his service area. I'm sorry if you don't, but don't blame that on Joel for goodness sake!! We love you, Joel! And THANK YOU!!!

TL;DR - Betta health and water quality is hit or miss. Employees are very knowledgeable and…read morehelpful. Great selection of live plants and products. This is my go to place for anything fish tank related - just not the fish. The guys that work here are very knowledgeable and super helpful. I love their live fresh water plant selection and the plants have always been really healthy and fast growing. Their fish tank decor is great and unique and I was able to find a really unique rock cave for my fish that I couldn't find anywhere else. One thing I will say is that I'm not a fan of their Betta fish. Sometimes they get beautiful ones in stock, but their health is a gamble. Sometimes the water is clean and other times the water is filthy. I bought one back in November and it barely lived a month in my heated, filtered and planted 10 gallon. The water parameters in my tank were perfect, but my betta still developed dropsy and died. The betta I bought after was in a little cup at Petco and has already lived longer than the one from Bob's. I haven't bought any other fish from them so their other freshwater fish could actually be great. Betta fish are my favorite fish though and I'm not impressed with the quality of theirs. All in all I would recommend them over big chain stores, especially for their knowledgeable employees and live plants as well as their product selection.

Mike Salet has cared for and cleaned my turtle tanks for years and years now. They have provided…read moreservice above and beyond what would normally be expected. I will/ would always buy from them.
