Never again! I'd rather drive for hours than go there again. On 1 of the 3 visits, the $9 each fish I got from there had ick and all died before the next morning ($45 down the drain). On top of that their prices are 3x and 4x the other local fish stores. They do keep good stock. Recommend shopping at other pet stores! 3 strikes and they're out for me!

Bill told me just how to fix the PH, and when my poor little honey gourami (named Harold) lost most of his tail to a bacterial infection he got because of the stress he was under, he gave us great advice on how to treat him to save him from that, too. Now Harold, toughest fish I've ever known, is darting around his tank happily, surviving against all odds because of Bill's guidance! The tanks don't look the greatest, but I didn't see a single sick fish, including a lot of more delicate breeds. That's the important part- everybody looked healthy.

Aquatics and Exotics is a wonderful little local fist store that is run by a sweet man who cares…read moreabout his fish and his kitties, who live in the shop. PLEASE NOTE: This shop is in NEW YORK, and it has nothing to do with the Aquatics and Exotics in Roanoke, Virginia where that awful assault of that woman happened. It is not affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form. Aquatics and Exotics is a name that both businesses just happened to choose, but they are not a franchise. THIS IS NOT THE RACIST PLACE. It makes me so sad to see someone who did nothing wrong get attacked for something that a stranger in another state did. OK! Now that that mess is out of the way, this little shop has what you need. So many beautiful driftwood and fancy stone options for hardscaping your aquascape. Do you want black and white stripey stones? You can find that here! Dragonstone for dramatic spires and cliffs? Yep! Cool aquamarine colored greenstone? Yeah, they have that, too! Do you like plants for your tank? Well, he grows his plants himself! Submerged, so they won't be nearly as likely to "melt" as the plants you mail order from big plant businesses that mostly grow their plans emersed (roots in water, leaves in the air) tend to. Leaves that grow in the air are not the same as leaves that grow underwater for aquatic plants, so if you buy a plant that has been grown out of water, it's gonna drop all those leaves and try to grow new ones, instead. I got some lovely plants here, and none of them died at all. They're also acclimated to the water we have around here, as are the fish! You WILL get snails if you don't treat the plants you get from here, but that really isn't a bad thing. The snails will eat algae and biofilm. They'll happily slide around like the little janitors they are. We got a brown ramshorn snail, and a grey one, as well as some bladder snails, in with our plants, and everyone in my household spends a bit of time each day trying to find the ramshorns. The fish are all quarantined before being put in to the main tanks. This is vital, and not something that happens at most big box pet stores. The fish you get here are much more likely to be healthy and stay healthy. They are far less likely to get your existing fish sick. It's a small shop, but he carries a nice variety of fish, snails, and shrimp. Do you have a favorite color? He probably has shrimp that come in that color. Do you love rainbow fish? He carries some really lovely ones. My tank is too small for them- they are schooling fish that can get to be 4 inches long- but if I had a bigger tank, I'd for sure get some from here. Mystery snails are excellent tank cleaners, and quite pretty. Lots of seachem and API products here, as well as high quality LED lights, nice filters, substrate, gravel, ETC. If you are an aquarium nerd, you can get your aquarium nerd on here, like I do. I drive over 40 minutes to go here instead of the closer big box pet stores. It is worth the drive!

If you've ever been to an aquarium, gone snorkeling on a reef, or just watched some Discovery…read moreChannel, you know there's something amazing about the undersea world. Aquariums allow us to bring a little bit of that world into our homes. Having grown up with several aquariums, both fresh and saltwater, I've always appreciated what an aquarium can do for a room (doesn't hurt that I studied marine science in college either). There aren't too many dedicated saltwater aquarium shops in the area so I was excited to check out the Salty Dog. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the reef tank that is beautifully stocked and lit. For anyone who appreciates fish and corals, this place proves itself to be the real deal right from the start. Further into the store, you'll see several tanks with fish and some tanks containing corals and coral fragments. Everything I saw looked to be great quality and very healthy. This isn't your local PetCo where you see some dead fish floating in the tanks. Despite the great location and exceptionally high quality product, the best thing I found with The Salty Dog is the knowledge of the two owners, Adam and Kyle. These guys were both there and I had the opportunity to chat with them for about an hour. It's clear that they both love what they do and want everyone to have a great experience with their aquariums. Adam provided me with a print out that went step-by-step through the process of setting up a saltwater tank. Part of that process requires you to bring a water sample to The Salty Dog to be tested by them before they'll even allow you to buy any livestock. On top of that, they told me they guarantee their fish for about 24 hours! I really enjoyed my trip to The Salty Dog and I look forward to setting up my next tank. Adam and Kyle are great to work with and I'd recommend taking a few minutes to chat with them if you ever stop by. Their knowledge and love for their craft is instantly recognizable. Furthermore, if you're interested in staying up to date on new shipments, store events like frag swaps, and even prize giveaways, look them up on Facebook.
