This was a very dirty vicinity. I would never recommend going to this place ever again. The only reason I came back to the store is to return my frozen water jugs that they gave me. All the tanks were dirty. The workers made me feel unsafe and they were a little creepy. My angle fish that I bought for 25$ died after only 2 days of being in my enclosure due to bad conditions at the store. read more

I have been going to Wet World for 3 years now and love the service and advice they provide! I buy fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, wood, products to help my tanks thrive and R/O water from Mike, Josh, Mason and other employees all are helpful. I have been to over 11 different aquatic stores in Minnesota over the years that are not BIG stores like Petco and this one is a store I would suggest to anyone. Leaving after I finish this review to head over there. read more

Just went there with my loving family. Never again I repeat NEVER AGAIN. The employees made my kids and me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. All the fish looked like they were dying. The prices are outrageous 100 dollars for a normal fish I could catch in my backyard. Why do they even have a 2K turtle. read more

we got scammed of our money. the water we bought was frozen sitting out. he said the plants were 4 they cost 20. they didn't give us the discount for buy 4 get one free. the workers were annoying and wouldn't listen to us overall don't come here and go to petsmart read more

I was introduced to Mike through a fellow hobbyist, best thing that could've happened to me. Mike and his staff have guided me through the process of buying and setting up my first saltwater/reef tank. Both Josh and Mason have been to my home several times throughout the past few weeks. I love their enthusiasm and appreciate their knowledge. They are always willing to answer my questions no matter how elementary. if you're looking to get into the hobby, I recommend you stop and talk to the folks at Wet World, you will not be disappointed. That being said, if you're looking A designer shop with neon lights and all the glitz, this probably is not a place for you. These guys are hard-working, blue-collar people who love what they do, and have a passion for the hobby. read more

Very helpful and informative staff! Come to this place if you need aquarium advice. We've been there twice now and have gotten perfect customer service, plus they have amazing fish and products! read more

Super kind staff and high quality fish. Every time I come in everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable along with the store always organized and clean. read more

Location was dirty, tanks looked unkept. Had a good selection of supplies. Employees made me feel uncomfortable entering their business. Not a good selection of fish. read more

It's awful. I went there for blackworms for my axolotls, which they don't usually have. I was in there tonight and the owner told me you can feed axolotls pinkies. No you can't! The axolotl would likely die after just one pinkie. He argued with me and said I was wrong. He also told me blood worms are a great staple diet for axolotls. They sell axolotls there, which they haven't had in a while but have confirmed they still intend to. Previously, they sold them in horrible conditions. No hides, warm water, missing limbs, etc. Their last one ended up with a sign saying it has been rescued and was rehabbing. This store is awful in so many ways. They put betas in all of their tanks with aggressive fish who eat them to death. Tonight, they had African clawed frogs in the same tank as African dwarf frogs. Most of the ADFs were laying upside down at the bottom of the tank dead. The owner, Mike, then insisted they can be in the same tank and it wasn't their fault they were dead Half of their tanks, at least, have multiple dead fish in them. The customer service is HORRIBLE! They will sit and completely ignore customers. They talk crap about each other and the shady stuff the business does. I may have to drive farther now for my blackworms, but it's worth it to never give this place my money again read more

Shocked to find that no one is required to wear masks during COVID-19 at this store. The owner, workers and what looked like possibly the owner's son all were not wearing masks. Made me question the integrity of the owners, if they are so flagrantly violating a state mandate. read more

This place is a mess. There are a lot of dead fish in ALL the tanks and the owner mike sits on his behind the counter and acts like he dont care. So I dont care if i go to a BETTER fish store with live, healthy fish. Go to Aquarium Maintenance by Tank Girl Phone: (414) 306-9922. Much better service and you don't have to deal with a angry store owner when you ask a question about the $10,000.00 tank and stand you bought and its got dings and dents, the first tank leaked all over my living room because they (Custom Aquariums out of Green Bay ) are shitty tank builders and mike doesn't stand behind his work. read more

I used to love this place. It's a nice location with nice employees but it definitely has gone down hill. They charge ridiculous prices (25 bucks for A common guppy) Half the tanks have ick and their is no not for sale sign on them so I'm sure poor customers are bringing ick into their tanks. Plus I spotted about 30 dead decomposing fish in the 10 minutes I was in there. read more

Definitely the best selection of fish and products I have seen around the twin cities that isn't wholesale. The staff really care about their customers and want to help out in any way possible. I appreciated the patience of the staff while selecting what I wanted. I have observed the best care of betta fish I have seen! They are in tanks with other types of fish- unlike most "generic" pet stores where they are trapped in small containers. It made me happy to see the fish be able to actually swim and interact with their surroundings. Also, a great place to go and check out the selection. I could watch the sting rays all day! read more

Amazon staff, so friendly. Best selection of salt water fish and critters that we have in MN. It is not cheap, but everything that I have gotten here is clean and/or healthy. I'd be lost without these folks. Thank you Wet World. read more

First time visitor went into store with questions on freshwater fish diseases and expanding fish diet. Mike (owner) was very helpful in spending time answering all my questions. The antibiotics I purchased eradicated the issue from my tank. The fish are loving the new Bug Bites and food from the frozen section. Great selection of both fresh and saltwater tanks, fish, supplies. Amazing selection of coral and rare types of fish. Please support your local businesses!!! read more

The place has a lot of awesome upgrades after the remodel. Large variety of fresh and salt water fish in stock- love the new frag tanks too. Staff is helpful, patient with questions and friendly. Prices are fair and everything is labeled. Will definitely be back soon! read more

I've been going here since 1992. Still my favorite place. A great place to get advice. They understand the hobbiest perspective, and budget. And the fish are always great. read more

Over priced. I bought a 17.6 lbs for around $65 . Chewy has sales going for $38 and it's much cheaper elsewhere. He sells one baby cherry shrimp for $12.99. Driftwood is over $20 for a thin 7" piece. Dead fishes in some of the tanks. I came here three times giving it a shot but I'm not going to spend so much money because they think I have little to no knowledge about aquariums and the price of things. read more

Mike the owner is very well knowledged and really knows his stuff. There is always a huge variety of fish and accessories to choose from. Love this store. read more

Went there to get a exotic fish , Zach behind the counter was a very helpful guy . He wouldn't sell me the fish till I got a water sample and brought it in because he said he didn't want the fish to do if my water was no good . So overall I appreciate him looking out for me and my money . The fish I was buying was $899.00 so I like to thank him and would always choose wet world over petco being that petco ppl know nothing about aquatics read more

We have been coming here for years. Mike is really knowledgeable and nice and has a great crew. Prices are FAIR and selection is very good!

Great store! The employees are helpful if asked for help. I was very pleased with the saltwater fish that I purchase. Plus they always have amazing fish to look at. read more

Wet World - Amazing looking eel definitely worth just watching him/her interact with you. - Local Fish Stores Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

Should be renamed, "Ich World". Bought a Koran angelfish from there last Thursday for $100 and he died 4 days later after infecting the rest of my tank with ich. The owner, Michael was kind when I first called and claimed he would "make it right" as long as I brought water and my dead fish in a bag to show him (first red flag). I got there in the afternoon with a sample of my water and a picture of my fish because Marty (Koran angelfish) already had his funeral which was hard enough. Michael (owner) tested my water with his refractometer and made sure to show me. My response, "whaaaaaat?? This isn't my water." Michael, "just kidding I wanted to show you what it should be." He tried to trick me? My salinity was actually 1.021 since I was trying to eradicate the parasite his fish brought into the tank which he claimed was too low due to his profound lack of knowledge of hyposalinity. He also bashed my fish saying I got them from a place that uses copper even though he recommended curpramine (seachem with copper) for treating ich and claimed that's why my other fish were fine. "Were" fine until buying one from his slop. Additionally, he asked, "how did you acclimate the Koran before putting him in your tank??!" with a stupid look on his face like he's the fish god. My response, "drip bucket for 6 hours or so - didn't want put him into shock." Michael (owner), "that was your first mistake! You can't have a fish sitting in a bucket for that long it'll get way to cold." I told him I had a heater in the bucket while also raising my eyebrows and accepting Michael (owner) wasn't going to do anything about it. At that point, my response to Michael (before I knew he owned the place), "do you own this place, what's your name?" "Yes, I own this place my name is Michael." Me, "nice to meet you Michael (handshake), good luck with your business". The girl behind the register smirked (his subordinate) and two other customers left right after me. As a corporate employee myself, I know and trust karma will get him because, "bad ownership/management will kill a business." Unfortunately his business will kill a lot of fish too until he flops on a table like the rest of them. Michael is not someone I would trust with any fish even though his subordinates know everything there is to know about them. GO TO A World of Fish in Richfield (Michael's employees included). TRUST ME. Get out of there and never look back. Smart/kind people know fish too, and good always trumps evil. If you're reading this Michael - remember me as the one who finally stuck up for your customers/employees. Your fantasy refunds may make you think you have us wrapped around your finger, but customers & employees make the business, so like I said to you in person, "good luck." #squealsoffinsportscar read more

I am writing about my experiences with Wet World located in Eagan. I have shopped at many Fish Stores in our area and I keep coming back to Wet World. They have good healthy fish and a large inventory. This is a definite plus! The aquariums and assorted equipment are certainly great as well. Mike, the owner, is very knowledgable about the fish and related products. His sense of humor is wonderful. He makes great suggestions about the fish and the tanks. I will continue to shop there because of the reasons listed in this review. read more

Most times the employees are knowledgable, helpful and will take the time to answer all of your questions even if you are new to the hobby. After all, if we stick with the hobby you would think we would come back more and more. Other times, one particular employee is irritable and downright rude. We come to the store to ask questions as this is a new hobby. Maybe a bit more patience would be nice. read more

In the last month I decided to set up a fresh water aquarium. I selected Wet World to get me started. Their friendly, well informed staff and the manager ( Mike ) have been extremely helpful in all aspects of doing this correctly. I asked endless questions so I could create a healthy aquatic environment before adding the plants and water. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Wet World and would recommend this as anyone's destination for all things fish and aquatic. It's been a real pleasure. John in Eagan Mn read more

it had been a long time since I was at wet world. although small, they are equally geared to freshwater and saltwater livestock. I went in to browse mainly. I was a bit surprised that I was not greeted once while in the store over 20 minutes. I understand if someones in the middle of something, but there were moments where an acknowledgement of my presence could have been made. I find most fish stores a bit messy, even dirty.... this one was in the average range. a lot of items didn't have price tags on them. a bit confusing. once the staff knew I was there, one could tell they liked what they did, are were pleasant enough to answer questions. the prices on fish from what I've seen elsewhere are actually very good. if you want a decent, small neighborhood type specialty store...this would be fine. if looking for more of an experience and better selections, I'd likely try a larger independent fish store. read more

First trip to the store for my FIRST saltwater fish! Mike was great - very patient and helpful. I left with a beautiful pair of clowns (the second pair I picked - he was nice enough to swap them out for the first pair I already picked and had bagged...most annoying customer ever!). Even though I showed up at the end of the business day, Mike was willing to hang out and help me through the process. Will definitely be returning for more livestock (and probably more newbie advice...)! read more

Overpriced on almost everything especially frozen food. Be watching out for aiptasia and other hitchhiker if you ever get livestock from this place. I've been dealing with that ever since. And the owner is gladly sell me Aiptasia-x after we've mentioned that we got them from his tank. One of the store display tanks have at least visible 20+ large aptesia. Often see dead fish in the tank (on at least 3 visits) and not being removed. And don't bother to make a phone call to this place because they NEVER pick up the phone!!! If you absolutely need something that Petco or Petsmart doesn't have, then you sh*t out of luck to find out except making a drive there, wait for 20+ mins until they're ready to assist you, just to find out they actually don't have it either or sold out. Would've been easy and done in 2 minutes over the phone rather to waste your gas and your time. I try to do business elsewhere but on occasion I really need something only LFS would have. read more
