Awesome place for fish lovers. And lovers of other pets too. I've been here several times! And service and selection has been consistent for me!
Phat is excellent! He always has a smile and really goes out of his way to educate you and help you out. There is also a sweet young lady and a guy named Parker who are also both very polite and helpful--never rude and impatient.
I was mainly here for freshwater supplies and goldfish/koi. They have plenty of goldfish to choose from--ranchu, ryukin, shubunkin, red cap oranda, orange oranda, black moor--and they have more in the back where they keep their ponds. I found my beloved large/XL ryukin buddy there, as well as other fish. They also have gorgeous koi and butterfly koi with a variety of colors/patterns and sizes from small to XXL. So far the best koi place I've been to out of many aquarium/fish stores in SW Houston, in terms of selection.
I brought my livestock home, no infections, good health, no one has died. None of my existing fish have gotten sick.
I did not take a look at other other fish species much, since that's not what I was there for, but they also carry axolotls (wooper pokemon looking animal), plecos, parrot fish, cichlids, black knifes, candy frogs, and much more! You have to see it. Lots of aquarium decorations from backgrounds (solid, scenery, 3D) to themed decor, to driftwood, gems, you can customize your tank to your liking. And they also specialize in ponds and tanks, so they have plenty of knowledge and will advise you. Food variety is plentiful, aquarium filters, treatments, etc. are available as well. And their ghost shrimp and feeder fish prices can't be beat! To fellow newbies, don't bother stepping into petco or petsmart where the salespeople aren't as experienced, the fish are not as healthy or varied, and the supplies are limited in variety and overpriced.
I am not an expert, but have done some good research while perusing this hobby, and have access to those who have experience, and I've realized the advice given to me by some salespeople are incorrect and maybe not the best answer. But these guys at fish and pets have been doing this for a while, and are doing it right because people keep coming back. You can see it in their confidence, and body language when they answer questions.
They also have many other gorgeous reptiles, birds, and mammals, so there is something for everyone looking for a "extraordinary" pet, and many supplies, for start up. :)
You get every dollar's worth for the treatment you get and the purchase too. I believe I will be a customer for a long time to come. read more
