One of the best stores I've visited, the owner Justin and his wife Ady were super nice and extremely helpful. They'll give you tips and show you around even if you're not going to buy anything, and it's so obvious they care a lot about fishkeeping and the aquariums. Cannot recommend enough!

Incredible! 6 stars! When I checked out I almost wished my total was higher so I could support this couple even more! The owner spent 40 minutes explaining his entire approach to fish keeping. This man is rare in our hobby. A true OG who has forgotten more about aquariums than I will ever know. Quote for all new hobbyists from the owner “raise your water not your fish”

I have never been to a more beautiful aquarium store. I wish I could give them over 5 stars. You can tell they care about the fish asking if your tank is right, your parameters, your hardware and everything. Some people may not like that but you have to learn that others can know more than you and take their advice.

My favorite aquarium store! I come to buy fish and plants even though I now live out of state. :) The owners are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The fish and plants are healthy and beautiful, plus they often have rare and interesting species

Are they still open as of December 2021?? Do they shop,ship, could I possibly call and get info??

They are open and you can go for in person shopping. I doubt they ship. Calling also might be challenging as English is not their first language and sometimes they struggle with English which is always harder on the phone. What are you looking for?

Is there anything I should bring with me to ensure the safety of any fish I may buy?

Excellent question. I've only been here once but they are so Excellent. I feel like they have everything you need (they even put some canned air in the bag which was super interesting to me) it is not as spacious as one would like so I would recommend not bring like a giant, full backpack.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Temperature checked at the door. Social distancing in affect.

What are the entry fees

It isn't that kind of aquarium. It is a fish store. They sell tropical fish and can advise on how to set up REALLY low maintenance tanks. There aren't any entry fees, but the prices on fish are pretty reasonable.

Do they sell RO/DI water ?

No. Believe it or not they do not do water changes and depend on deep gravel substrate and heavy planting to keep water healthy.

do you stock fancy goldfish
