It's a local family owned place that is really into the hobby, not just profit margins. I had a Rafael Catfish that died after 31 years. Regular big retailers would have laughed, but Cindy actually cared ordered two new ones just for me, They're in my tank now, doing fine. In addition to maybe a hundred tanks of fish, they have every medicine, filter, and gizmo you could imagine, on shelves on the walls from floor to ceiling. They're also very nice people. If I could give more stars, I would.

I had some issues with the freight company shipping my tank/stand I ordered & even though it was all the shipping company's fault/problems they went out of their way to investigate & help me resolve the issues. Both Ryan & Scott are amazing and go above and beyond, I have called with a question about one thing and then end up picking their brains on their opinions & recs on tank equipment for my build, Aqua scaping tips and anything else I think of. 1000% recommend

He took the time to going over the different sizes and how to choose an appropriately sized unit, how it would fit into my sump, how to dial it in once I got it, and many other specifications and nuances about the skimmer. I truly appreciate the great customer service I received and look forward to purchasing more products from him in the future. It is a rarity these days to get someone on the phone right away who will answer your questions and help you without transferring you to another person, putting you on hold, or having you submit a ticket and I really appreciate this. His knowledge on the skimmer was quite extensive as well. Thanks Ryan!

SUPER AWESOME STORE! Huge aquarium store in Columbia and worth the trip from the CSRA every time…read more The folks at Fishy Business love what they do and their store is beautiful. They have expertise in both saltwater and freshwater and are extremely knowledgeable. Additionally, they build custom aquariums! We just picked ours up last weekend and couldn't be more thrilled and excited. Francois helped us and I highly recommend you let him chat with you to soak up all his knowledge! If you have a question about anything aquaculture, he will have an answer or find it for you. What I really appreciate is that he didn't waste our time trying to upsell or shove the most expensive products - he would list out the pros and cons and give a range of options. Ultimately, he expertly guided us through the custom aquarium process. Love this store!

Justin & staff are extremely helpful and informative. I had…read morebeen keeping fresh water tanks for over a decade, until they gave me to courage to start my first salt water tank. It has been roughly 6 months since my salt water tank was started and i have found great success thanks to their advice. They are not out to make a quick buck off you, but are genuinely concerned with the health and success of your fish tanks. The store is always well kept, and staff is attentive. Justin specifically has been wonderful. Even though I am a newbie to keeping salt he always takes the time to inform me on how to tackle issues. He has never been condescending even though some of my questions are a google away. They have become my favorite LFS, and they have gained a loyal customer.

When I arrived, I called because I thought the store might be in the back, or just difficult to find. When I called, a man answered the phone. I asked for reef and rainforest and he told me they were only doing installations and no retail sells. No "hello" or "how can I help you". If anything you should update your website to tell people you're only doing installations, good thing this was close to my house so it wasn't out of the way for me. Also, when I asked if they knew anywhere I could get fish supplies that wasn't pet co or pet smart he just said "no". So, I just hung up, which I know is rude but I felt that the customer service that I was giving was so bad that I wanted to send this person the same message. Customer service was not good, the website hasn't been updated. To me it doesn't sound like this business cares about their potential customers. I'm definitely open to removing my low review if this company decides to put more effort into updating their website and providing better customer service.
