The name says it all…Something fishy. Care for animals, fishy. Costumer service policies and attitude, fishy. Animal/plant selection, fishy. Overall consensus, something smells fishy here, and it’s not the animals. If you’re looking for plants that will need to be quarantined because they have snails, then this is your place. They do have plant options, but they all come with snails (even if they claim otherwise). Other local fish stores have the same options if not better when it comes to plants. When it comes to their animals..BIG WARNING. They don’t keep them in good conditions - just walk through and you’ll see for yourself. They also claim to be willing to provide credit if the fish don’t survive the night/day, that’s just not true either. All of that being said, their selection is weak. Other local shops with less square footage have more options and in better condition. There are some great local fish stores in the Orlando area, please give your business to one of those shops. Sadly this store has shady conditions for their animals, and even shadier costumer service tactics! I wish I could give zero stars. My guess is, it all comes from the top down - manager is rude, and I’ve heard bad things from many people about the owner. Thought I’d give them a chance anyways, but I was burned. Lesson learned for me!

Great LFS to visit. Had an awesome time there, and lots of fish, inverts, plants, and coral to choose from. Jacob has a wealth of knowledge, and has helped me with taking in my mbuna cichlids and mollies since I was in the process of moving to Texas. If you’re wanting to go buy some fish or anything aquatic, this is by far, hands down, THE best fish store I have ever visited. Let alone, words can only describe so much. ~ Jackson Kolter

This place is off the charts, you can tell the employees know their stuff, everything from the tanks to the equipment is displayed clean and elegantly. The fish look very happy and most of them are kept in species only tanks for their well being. Even their aquatic plants (which is what I had originally gone in for) were splendid, well lit in a gorgeous center tank framed beautifully by all the surrounding tanks that flowed effortlessly into one another, truly a beautiful store, will definitely be back again!

My daughter and I went there Saturday. Had another great experience. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten some fish for my community tank. Jacob’s knowledge was incredible and he helped us pick out some fish based on my tank size and wants. I’ve been in The hobby for a long time and he taught me a lot of new stuff. This place is clean, bigger than before, and a great local fish store experience!
