"Purchased a marbled cat shark and banded bamboo shark for Pete’s. Had an issue with the marbled cat shark and Pete went above and beyond my expectations in solving it! My sharks arrived alive and kicking! My bamboo shark is a tank! He’s eating everything I throw at him as well as vitamin supplements! My marbled cat shark is young and healthy! He’s got a healthy appetite and spunky personality! Pete and his staff are very helpful! I will definitely purchase more in the future!"

"Best fish selection and best advice. I ordered some high maintenance fish and they died but Mike gave me new fish and advice on how to quarantine them. He told me what I had done wrong and worked with me to get the new fish acclimated and past the stages of parasites that come along with transition stress into a new tank. It took 3 tries and I don’t expect him to keep sending fish at no cost so we worked together. The advice was mostly what I needed. Most fish have parasites already but their stress in the transition weakens their ability to fight them so it’s common for them to get sick after arrival. I have a Copperband Butterfly and a Red Sailfin Tang that are doing very since Thanksgiving. Mike knows the challenges of fish getting sick in the process of moving and he pays attention to stormy weather when shipments could be delayed. Packaging is the best I’ve seen and even includes heat warmers for shipments I got in the winter. Nice to talk to and works together to make both sides happy. It’s a tough business to be in and I’m glad to find them. My local store doesn’t have much for cool fish so I went to the internet. My experience here has been so awesome I think I might go on the website now and see what is in stock. A few things I learned from him was use Copper power and not coppermine. Coppermine was way to strong and ate the meat off the fish with the dosage written on the box. Mike asked me a few questions and told me what to do. I had succeeded on the 3rd try with his advice. Later on, I saw a white dot on the tail of these two fish. He said to get a blue streak cleaner wrasse and skunk cleaner shrimp. I had the wrasse in a smaller tank so I put that in and got 2 skunk cleaners. I was ready to throw in the hat but now I finally come home to no issues in my beautiful tank. It’s been stable for several months now and seems like a good echo system."

"I had Pete in my house to do an install. He drilled holes for the plumbing in my 250 gallon without using a tape measure. Everything is off center. When I expressed my displeasure he was rude and told me if I wanted premium work I needed to pay a premium price. After messing up my tank he took the $600 deposit and never came back. Someone else finished the work. I’ll never set foot in his store again. He’s a snake oil salesman. Be cautious. Attached is a pic of what he left my house like a few days before Christmas."

"What a great find, drove over one hour, well worth the trip, I showed Sherri a picture of my tank and the bubbles where to much and got Pete the owner to help me, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and pleasure to deal with, now on the fish they have are amazing to say the least, great selection of both salt and fresh water, but by far the best salt water selection I have seen, defiantly my main place, I don’t think I could go anyplace else now.. I’m spoiled, and will enjoy the road trip!! Great find.. definitely visit them and mention “ The Turmeric Guy “"
