Without a doubt the best place to get aquatic pets. The staff is friendly and very helpful and all genuinely seem like they want to be there and are passionate about helping you be a successful aquarium owner. I've never had anything even remotely close to a bad encounter. Edit: Negative reviews are very obviously written by people who have spent absolutely no time researching how to maintain a healthy aquarium themselves, which is no fault of the store. Personal responsibility is a must when taking care of any kind of pet. Including aquatic pets. read more

Worst experience EVER! After having a tank up and going for more than a year with happy and healthy fish that I enjoyed teaching tricks and such to I purchased fish from wet pets after they promised it would be perfectly fine adding them to my tank. Within a week and half every fish is dead including my fish I have had. I have tried multiple times to get help from wet pets and without a way back to norman all I have received is being hung up on 6 times accused of yelling even though I stayed calm and had not even raised my voice and then I was told I was speaking to the owner when in fact it was just a kid behind a telephone. If the owner is who I was speaking to then NO ONE should ever shop here because that person acted like a teenager and was an idiot too. I will NEVER do buisness here again and will NEVER recommend this store to anyone. This is ridiculous after a year of a healthy tank to spend $50 on some additional fish and loose it all due to some stores negligence. Do better Steve who owns wet pets by Steve because this Sir is what makes people QUIT shopping local! read more

We bought our first salt water fish tank from here along with many fish and corals. Everyone is very knowledgeable and friendly.

This place is awesome. It's nice having a knowledgeable staff to talk to. They have an amazing selection of freshwater and saltwater fish and animals. Along with a vast selection of ready to go aquarium setups for the beginner and for the expert. Definitely check this place out. read more

I looked online for a plant. Steve's had it I was in luck. not to mention it was 5.99 a steal at two dollars less than the other lf. I get to the store they have large ones listed as 7.99. I look for other I see some listed under assorted misc 7.99. I ask an employee if they have any of these listed online for the 5.99 price point. he looks like he doesn't know what I'm talking about. he starts going tank to tank looking. I ask if they can honor the price online. I'm told the price is only updated in the morning and isn't for the plants that they received today they sold out of mine earlier. okay I say can you match the price. finally the asm says he can. great I'd like 4 please. as we get to the tank one of the other employees keeps trying to tell me why the price is different. I've already accused them of bait and switch. at this point with the asm trying to help me and the other guy telling me why I'm wrong I decide to leave. as I leave I pull up the stores number to call and talk with the owner who was worse than the first guy. she was terrible. In reply: you actually told me I'm sorry I can't help you. I told you, you lost a customer and you said I'm sorry we couldn't help you. But have the day you deserve. read more

Found out about this establishment by my husband's coworker. We've been there 3 times so far after purchasing our first tank from them. Just left there and purchased a nice amount of fresh water fish, and some nice plants. Ben was helping us, he was amazing with all his knowledge about all the fish and plants! Thank you Ben! read more

If you own/desire a large or saltwater aquarium, Wet Pets can offer you way more than a chain, unspecialized pet store can. The store is teeming with friendly and knowledgeable associates. There are lots of buying options for large tanks. They offer good water for your tanks that you don't have to treat and balance yourself. If you bring a container, you can pay cents per gallon. They also offer water testing, so bring a sample of your own water while you're at it. It's cool to just look around the store too. I started and kept a small aquarium. I purchased a vigorously active male betta from them. The bettas are kept in clean containers at the store, but I have never seen another betta as energetic as that one. I purchased water treatments, medicines, and live plants at the store too. I don't think the live plants are free from snails. My aquarium soon had a nice population going. There are ways to get rid of the snail eggs before you put them in the tank, so definitely do that. read more

I've bought all my fish here and my cichlid tank is flourishing. Every staff member is helpful with their own individual insight. I've been busy with work lately and doing monthly water changes hasn't been easy. LUIS came to the house and did a superb job at cleaning and changing the water. Will definitely have him back every month to keep the tank looking spectacular! - Jurassic Park guy. read more

Truly feel like these people only care about how much money you spend in store and the owner absolutely refuses to admit any flaws in some of the staff there I wouldn't go buying an expensive salt water fish here we spend over 100.00$ on a Rabbit fish from this store for him to die in 3 weeks had our water tested by them said everything looked great and they cant really tell us what happened all of my fish water and anything in the tank has come from this store I think we will be looking for a new place to buy our fish from a place that values your money and time and takes ownership for selling you a sick fish also if you're not an expert on fish just ask Steve himself! he will gladly tell you how like he told us oh well out a fish and money the owner does not care and no wonder they don't offer any type of guarantee read more

This has got to be the coolest Aquarium/Pet store that I've ever been to! The HUGE display tank in the middle of the room is filled with some of the coolest and most beautiful fish that I've ever seen! You can tell that the fish are as heathery as can be because there are many large ones that clearly have been well taken care of. The section with fish that you can purchase is quite large with a wide variety of both fresh and salt water fish. Plus they sell tons of plants, snails, crabs and other fun creatures/things for your tanks! I can't wait to come back again soon! read more

The staff is super nice and friendly! With a huge section of fish from fresh water to salt water. Staff here is definitely fish educated aha Even met Steve the other day and he was super cool ! read more

This place is the absolute worst. Great customer service and clean store. However their fish are sick and overpriced. I bought 6 female guppies from this location and was informed they had been medicated for everything. Brought them home and let them sit for 20 minutes before adding them. After 24 hours every fish in the tank was dead, including fish that had been in there for months and were healthy. These guppies were also more expensive than petsmart, a store that does medicated their system. Never returning. Waste of time and money. read more

This place is great! Very clean, spacious, and a large selection of fresh and saltwater fish, coral, supplies, and medications/chemicals. It's true that places like a large PetsMart would have a greater selection of decorations, but these things are far less important than knowledgeable and passionate staff who aren't just punching the clock at a big box retail chain. I spoke with two different very knowledgeable staff who confirmed things I had researched extensively online and gave me some useful tidbits I wouldn't have known just from home research. I'm excited to do further business with them. read more

They literally sell sick fish with infections I bought 3 catfish and 1 has passed and 1 have an infection I just bought them. I've tested the water I've tested it and he's still sick don't go to them go to a breeder or someone you know read more

Every time I come in here I am greeted with friendly faces and great customer service. I am quite new to fish-keeping and the employees have always answered my abundance of questions and helped me to find the best items for my tank. Fish selection is nice and the employees there are very knowledgeable. I want to give a shout-out to Rachel and Justin (I believe that was his name?) for being super friendly & helpful during my last visit. The two domino damsels I got are doing great so far and I have those two to thank for that! Thank you guys for everything and I'll be coming back! read more

I went to Wet Pets last Saturday to buy fish for our new aquarium with my kids. Rachel was our helper. She was AMAZING! Our aquarium belongs to my 9 year old, and she talked about every fish with him and helped him pick out the right combo for our tank. She was so patient and kind with the kids. Our experience with her was so amazing that said 9 year old asked for another visit to see Rachel for his upcoming birthday! Give that woman a raise! read more

This is the best place to get anything for your aquarium. Every experience has been really helpful from their very knowledgeable staff. I would give more than 5 stars if possible. read more

If I could give a Zero Star I would! I called Wet Pets and talked on the phone to an employee for 15-20 minutes about a pump for my pond. He told me the pumps they had say they are for tanks but that they work for ponds. So I went in and bought a $270 pump. I took it home and it was definitely not compatible with a pond. As anyone knows when dealing with a pond you are outside. So I had sat the pump down next to me which caused the outside of the pump to be dirty. I packed the pump back up in the box and drove it back to the store within an hour or two of buying it. When returning it the worker at the desk was very kind and said he just needed his boss to approve the return. After about 10 minutes a man comes up to me smiling and says "Are you trying to return this?" I said yes and he said "Would you accept this back in this condition?" And I was very confused because there wasn't anything wrong with it I had only had it a couple of hours. He was EXTREMELY rude and after I explained that regardless of what he thought about the pump they did not give any information to me about a return policy saying that I couldn't return it. He said "We didn't need to tell you about a return policy because we didn't think you would return it" THEN he says "I will take it back but there is a 20% return fee so I can't refund you all of your money." At this point all I could say was "okay" but I was thinking, if they have a return policy that they will only return 80% of your money then YES they would have known its possible for someone to need to return items and therefore they should have said something. While I was waiting for the worker to finalize my return the manager/boss was standing off to the side talking to another employee and bad mouthing me about returning a product with dirt on it. I was so mortified and felt completely taken advantage of since they are the ones who told me to buy it for $280!!! And then when what they sold me wasn't correct they acted as if I was some terrible person! I took my 80% return and left because I was scared and belittled. This was about 3 weeks ago. I didn't say anything at the time because I felt like I had already taken the return and there was nothing I could do about it anymore. Today I receive a call from Wet Pets saying they have decided that I "opened the pump and changed out the rotator inside" and so they are not going to refund me at all. THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! Number 1: I obviously don't even know enough about pumps to know which one goes to a pond (Which is why I called and ask them before I ever went there to buy it). Number 2: I didn't have the pump long enough to alter anything about it!!! I have NEVER in my life experienced customer service like this! The employees are kind and helpful but whoever the manager is he is the most horrible person. And if he is Steve he should really think about going into a business where he does not come in contact with human beings... EVER. read more

This place is amazing! I had been wanting to check this store out for a while but live in Edmond. I finally decided to head down there and I am very glad I did. Upon walking in everything is extremely clean and organized. The workers greet you and they have a lot of fish! Their selection of saltwater fish is very large and they have a decent selection of freshwater fish. All of their tanks are absolutely beautiful and have gorgeous amazing fish in them. I wasnt looking to purchase fish today but when I am I will be getting them from Steve's wet pets! They also have a lot of decor and rocks by the pound in the back. I even asked for advice on how to help my female Betta with clamped fins and was directed to a product and I'm pretty sure it may have been Steve who helped me and he was very friendly and helpful. I love this store and can't wait to go back in the future! read more

These guys impressed me with their knowledge. That's saying a lot. I am prone to asking questions that where I already know the answer to guage how much I can trust the info they give me since most seem content with giving out info that isn't accurate. These folks actually impressed me. They also seem to have about any piece or part you may need in addition to good selection of products. Stock all appeared healthy as well, something sadly lacking when big box stores started selling aquatics. They also regularly have sales. read more

Really cool store. Front end is cichlids and the back half is salt water. Staff was awesome. I don't see myself purchasing fish anywhere else now that I found this gem. Tank prices also looked really good. Stop by and check them out when you need some fish or aquarium supplies. read more

All these reviews dont match our experience...family went in to buy a live plant for small aquarium. This store sold a plant infested with snail eggs and the aquarium is overrun by snails and totally contaminated. Replacing everything will be in excess of $150.00 because of this reckless behavior by the store that ruined our aquarium . Research indicates this is fairly common which we did not know and NOT ONE WORD WAS MENTIONED ABOUT THIS BY THE STAFF. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! read more

Wet Pets is awesome! Everyone there is extra nice and they really know their stuff when it comes to fish and aquariums. The store is beautiful as well, my son and I love to go and just look at the fish even when we don't need to buy anything. read more

Best possible choice in aquaria related products. Prices are comparable to big box retailers or even cheaper. For specialty items they meet or beat on-line. Don't be foolish and waste your money going anywhere but here. A knowledgable staff of enthusiasts make asking questions and getting the RIGHT answer a breeze. You also get to check out some nice tanks from reef to planted while you shop. Thanks guys for all the help! read more

Good clean location. I have been doing business with Steve and Paula since they opened on Porter. Will continue to go.

Wet Pets is an amazing store. The staff is super nice and knowledgable. The selection is unbeatable! They always take the extra time to make sure you will be successful with your aquarium. It is worth my drive from Edmond to Norman every time. read more

A great place to buy fish. It's always stocked with something interesting and the staff are helpful.

no used section or budget friendly gear. if you are on a budget and need hardware pass this place by.

My thermometer that regulates the heat for my reef tank had stopped working. I called Taylor at Wet Pets and he asked me what size reef tank I have and he knew exactly what I needed. I told him that we live in Yukon and it was already 5:30pm and I35 Southbound on a Fri night is hell. He told me not to worry and to take our time in getting to their store. We got there there with 5min to spare and he had my thermostat heater at the register good to go. This place is awesome. They have reef stuff,salt and fresh water fish,plants too. All the people that work there are very knowledgeable and nice...!!! read more

Absolutely the best fish store I have ever been in. They are super knowledgeable in fish we live 2 and a half hours away and had to make the trip every weekend for a month because we were starting a salt water tank. I don't regret any of it they have great prices and friendly faces. Zoey is the girl we always go to for help as she knows SO much about it she also runs the Facebook page and responded to my message in 30 minutes. Very awesome pet store!! read more

This place is awesome! The staff is helpful. The prices are great. It's clean, easy to get in and out of, and has been in business for a while, so I feel like I can trust them. Great shopping experience! read more

The staff is great, but do not buy live rock from this store. The tanks that they cure the live rock in are infested with pest anemones. They will infest your tank quickly and are almost impossible to get rid of once they multiply, which they do rather quickly. read more

Great customer service... I bought two fish tanks there and basically all my fish from there... The tanks are great quality, worth spending the little extra money for better quality and service you get from wet pets. The staff is great and extremely knowledgeable, with a good sense of humor to boot. Whether they are swamped or you're the only customer in there you can expect the same great service every time. It's also worth mentioning you never feel like a customer, more like a good friend. You're always greeted by name and they're always willing to have a good friendly chat, whether it's about fish or new restaurants to try. They never try to push sales on you and truly want what's best for the fish and you. Whether you're looking for a betta, goldfish, or a certain type of fish, you can expect to find what you're looking for while experiencing a true Norman hometown business. Great staff, great products, really outstanding! read more

I went here in order to get some antibiotics for my betta and was incredibly disappointed to find that they sell the same cruel, minuscule tanks for bettas that Petsmart and Petco sell. I expected better from a specialized fish store! Bettas need at the very least 2.5 gallons to be happy and healthy. I spoke with the guy at the front counter and he informed me that "well, I guess fish like to swim, but if you change the water often it's fine." These are tanks of less than a gallon per betta - by the same logic I could keep a dog in a closet and it would be fine if I cleaned it every day, even though I guess dogs like to run. Nice thing to say to somebody with a sick betta fish! read more
