I enjoyed this shop and the atmosphere inside was pleasant. A staff member made their rounds to each customer to see if they wanted help yet. I read all the reviews on Yelp before visiting and it is clear to me that only people with a chip on their shoulder, maybe competitors in business, are posting such negative "stories". And that is the problem with bad attitudes, you will never be successful until you fix your attitude first.

Also, it was somewhere I had never been and out of state. I took a chance, and it paid off. I hadn't had much luck with anemones and people kept telling me that they weren't healthy when I got them (from our LFS.) That must have been it! This rainbow bubble tip anemone is incredible! Nice, fat, healthy... great color and movement. Tentacles are nice and healthy, not stringy. Nicely packed and shipped! If I'm ever in Raleigh, NC., I will go (in person) to thank them! Great place! I highly recommend,

I've kept tropical fish for decades. It's a fun and peaceful hobby that I've enjoyed since I was a…read morechild. In all these years, I've never seen a shop like C-Macs. 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.

Tell the guy what your looking for if he don't have it. He will get it. Everywhere else they over priced the fish and majority are juveniles at prices of adult fish. Here you can get really good sized show fish in addition to your display tanks. Glad to see a place that focuses more so on fish selection than just trying to sell your a bunch of marked up products you can buy on Amazon. As a serious aquarist I highly recommend this place

I had a very disappointing experience with Aqua World…read more Before making the trip, I spoke with them over the phone and clearly explained the size of the fish I was bringing -- approximately one foot each. We agreed on a trade based on that information. I then drove about two hours to the shop. When I arrived, they placed the fish in their tank and then told me they were "too big" for their system. This was confusing because I had already been very clear about their size during our phone conversation. After driving such a long distance, it was frustrating to have them change their position. The fish were slightly stressed from transport, which is normal after a two-hour drive, but they were healthy. I was told they "weren't happy with the way they looked," and no trade was offered at all. Not even a partial trade. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and gas, especially after we had already discussed and agreed on the details beforehand. I just wish they had honored their word or at least tried to work something out. Very disappointing experience.
