Beltway Aquarium

My boyfriend & I went to check this spot out because, we absolutely adore fish & seen everything that petco & pet smart had to offer. We walked in & immediately the smell hit us. The tanks were filthy. So much algae in the tanks it looked like they havent been cleaned in months, some fish were dead floating with the live fish, some with infections, some with obvious health issues. This one particular fish was huge & toward the back of the store with a huge eye infection. I mean HUGE, you couldn't miss it. The infection made him look so miserable. I felt so bad for him. Smh but, the tank that we got fish from looked decent. I insisted that we would wait but, he wanted fish so bad to add to our tank! We bought 2 African Cichlids. They were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. We acclimated them first & put them in. The next day we noticed all of our fish were separated. The 2 that we purchased were shaking uncontrollably. Generally, when that happens something is wrong. Low & behold - the fish that we bought had ick. They ended up killing off all of our fish. Even, after we quarantined them & treated them. We wasted $60. & lost all of our fish in 2 days. DO NOT BUY HERE. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. IT RUINS YOUR ENTIRE EXPERIENCE OF THE ENJOYMENT OF BUYING FISH.

Fantastic selection. Owner needs to work on his bedside manner a little bit. Website is terminally awful. Store kinda smells - buy some Glade plugins, guys. Lots of dead fish. Enough that my wife pulled a Veto card and asked that we go to Petsmart instead. This place has HELLA potential, but there's also a significant issue. Can't say what that is specifically, but if I had to guess...It's the owner being resistant to change.

The lady Robin I believe her name is ....very rude. Always have an attitude. I've spent over 500 dollars in this store in the last 3 years. The only reason why I tolerate the nonsense is because it's the only real fish aquarium in the area unless I go 50 mins out to Montgomery County. By the the time I get home my fish will likely not be In great health. When I go to the store... .she always busy and never stop or direct her attention to even ask if I need help. Always fast talking as if she's in the rush and as if I'm bothering her by spending money at her store. I never had a pleasant experience and I've been there at least 20 times. Although ive purchased at least 70 fish at the store and only 30% were great quality and didnt die. They sure give you a hard time to even get an exchange ....thats a different subject. However im not sure if it's a cultural difference in which I don't understand or bias racial attitude towards me cause I'm African American. I won't judge the cleaning condition of the store ....I don't eat there so.....I sure clean my shoes before I enter my house as anybody should going anywhere but yes ....the floor is almost never clean. And two Caucasian guys that work there they typically well manner However they don't seem to be as savy as clever about the fish ...one occasion one of them didn't even know how to to seal or tie the bag to distribute the fish to me. Robin saved him with frustration caused she's was busy like always. But he was way more respectful then her. I just wish she was more pleasant and she's there 99% of the time. If I knew when she wasn't there I will deal with the two non savy not clever fish employees. Anyway much Blessings to her I hope she's okay within her heart cause sometimes we never know what people are going through. Maybe there is a personal reason. Keep in mind I'm a frequent customer and I purchase and spend at least over 30 dollars every visit except today. So I'm not walking around to sight see and leave.

Buyer BEWARE!!! ….Someone should contact health inspector immediately….. Terrible customer service sold me a $100 Koi fish that died in 24 hours: This company would not honor the purchase and replace the fish. This fish was in the pond with with other smaller Koi fish and they all “lived”. This place is rip-off the fish they sold me was already sick and they sold it to me anyway! I have a beautiful pond with lots water features see picture attached
