Not only is this store located in a very pretty and interesting building, it was very bright, open and full of fully landscaped aquariums with plants & fish everywhere. As soon as me and my friends walked in we were approached by an employee immediately. My friends went to look around and I asked a few questions. The employee gave me a lot of good answers as well as recommendations and items that might interest me in the store. The store is extremely well stocked, with items I've only been able to find online before. Me and my friends had a ton of fun looking at the tanks around the store and I good some great inspiration looking around. I got a few items including a snail trap (another item I've only seen online!) and the cashier was super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the shop. The store below even had an enormous reef tank installed and maintained by the store employees. It is always a wonderful experience coming to a store where everyone is so passionate about their craft, and I can't wait to come back

I love this place!…read more You know how your kid bugs you for a fish tank and promises to take care of it only to lose interest as soon as the first pair of guppies dies? Well, that was me over 50 years ago except I never lost interest. I've been keeping fish and visiting fish stores around the country for my entire life. The people from World Of Fish who started RiverShore Aquariums have done a great job. Located not far from the original World of Fish, RiverShore has clean tanks, friendly and knowledgeable staff and they are super keyed in on planted tank setups. These days my tanks are relatively simple just to keep things easy, rocks and driftwood mostly, but I've been wanting to do a planted tank for a while. I know the basics but had some questions on substrate, plant selection and lighting for what is basically going to be a freshwater nanotank. The staff person who helped me was super knowledgeable, answered my questions and gave me some good advice for getting started. They had a good selection of different kinds of gravel as well as an assortment of driftwood and rocks. I liked that they have a table where you can do a little aquascaping trial and error before you make a final selection. The fish were high quality and appeared healthy. Most were smaller species suitable for planted tanks. I even discovered a new species that I had never heard of - anchor catfish. Super cool and perfect for my little nanotank. I know enough about fish and have been to enough fish stores to know which ones are really good. Rivershore is at the top of the list if you live in the Twin Cities, and especially if you're interested in giving planted tanks a try. Even if its plants aren't your thing or you are new to the hobby, I'd checkout Rivershore for your first aquarium.

My daughter and a friend have been talking aBour this place for a few years. With my adamant…read morestance of "no pets!!!" the last three years, I hadn't stepped foot in this place because, well, I didn't need the temptation. And then we moved and happened to have a chintzy plastic betta fish tank that happened to appear when unpacking. Seed planted. So we spend an evening checking out if you pet shops in looking at betta's . Bought one for said chintzy fish tank for my 3 year old to have a fish and that set the ball rolling. I wanted my own fish too. But as selective as I am, just any ok' pretty betta wouldn't do. So in I went to this locall aquatic store with no idea what I'd find. My first thought?? This store looks kinda sketchy. And it does not smell pretty. It would be equivalent to a dive bar of the aquatic world. No-frills kind of store. Bare cement. No fancy bright decorations to be found. Just rows and rows of stacked fish tanks, piles of rocks, aquatic plants (that were actually IN tanks of water) and lots of special tree pieces make for aquariums. But the staff...they are AMAZING!! I mean, come on, I came in for a betta fish. Not really a high dollar sale for them. But they www really above and beyond sweet, helpful and not only answered all my uneducated betta fish questions but the guy Andy (I'm guessing the owner??) even told me some tips on how I can do this gorgeous betta tank thing even more economical and actually showed me how he cleans the filter on hIs pump instead of buying new filters! I left with a tall 2 gallon square aquarium (it was even on sale!!) and a chunk of wood that he gave me an idea of trimming it down to make a tree from to fit my pretty little tall square glass aquarium. Oh, and a live moss ball plant for my 3 year olds betta fish to play with. He told me exactly what to do with that chunk of wood over this next week (put it in hot water and soak it for a week) to prepare it for my tank so that when they find the perfect fish for me, it would be ready. (Well, I'm going back next week to buy little plants to the wood to make it look like an actual tree- his idea that he walked me thru on how to pull it off!) Yep, that's right, I didn't even leave with a fish. They were willing to search for just the right platinum white half moon rosetail betta for me. And even agreed to send me videos of the ones they find before I decide one it!!! I have never in my life experienced such AMAZING customer service!! These people are SO awesome!!! And by the way, they do have some pretty cool fish you would NEVVVER find at Petco too. (Hello stingray and piranha.)

Stopped by earlier today after seeing a post online about $10 nail trims, our dogs were due for…read morejust that plus the price is great! The location is great with plenty of parking. The store itself was smaller but clean and had lots of product! First thing I noticed was it was a little chaotic, understandable for a nail trim special event, although no staff ever called out where to check in and where to check out or where to get in line for the trims. There was one groomer who was very very sweet, even stepping out of the grooming room to trim nails for a shy dog while their owner held them, they must be a regular because I overheard the owner say "see you next month again". Our little Bruce went in first and I anticipated screaming but he was really screaming. Thank goodness for the windows into the grooming room because I saw him thrashing around and immediately went over asked to step in after hearing the groomer (different one than mentioned prior) raising her voice pretty loud at my dog a few times and saying things like "stop it", "that's enough", etc. I also saw her put some powder on his toenail but she never mentioned during or after the trim if she trimmed to short or what. Once I was holding him, it went much smoother but I didn't her tone of voice with him or the limited info on the powder. My other big, shy dog was hesitant to go in but I was able to encourage him in and he did fine. He actually seemed to be doing pretty good at first, I had asked for the filing on his if he tolerated it. Although when I had stepped in to hold our small dog, Bart (our big dog) FELL OFF THE TABLE, hanging briefly by the neck holder thing! The girl doing Bruce ran over to help lift him up and he was just fine but startled. Both of their nails are pretty good, 8.5/10. I do understand the chaos of this event and a full room or barking, whining dogs. I can imagine it's not the groomers favorite day or event. I understand some level of annoyance but also expect good service at the same time. It was not bad at all, it was alright and we were able to grab a couple bones on the way out which the boys will enjoy. Not 100% sure we will come back for the nail trim as we can do it at home but need to hold them like babies and it's not ideal but we will see. This might be better for those doggies who don't really mind nail trims and you're not confident in doing them yourself.
