Fish Room

"The owner is friendly and the store is nice and organized. Beautiful display tanks and a good selection of everything in stock. This is one of 2 stores I’ve found in all the ones I’ve visited in NC and VA that truly has “live rock”! The store in VA charged 3x the amount. You can see it cycling in the store. He also has coral colonies in addition to frags. Every time I go in, I find something new. He has good prices and I love stopping in and visiting when I’m in the area. He stays busy. He isn’t a person that hovers over you the whole time you’re in there, but is someone that will answer any questions and is very knowledgeable. Today while in the store I watched him help several customers. Bagging fish, weighing rocks, selling water that is mixed at the store, helping others select products they need, and even testing a lady’s water. I’ve read in prior posts that he just stood behind counter and didn’t speak. Not sure where people get that. He has never chased me down like a car salesman, but always positive and friendly. I’ve bought saltwater fish, inverts, corals, and a clam. Everything I’ve purchased is healthy and has been living for months now. Look forward to going my next trip to Cary. Thanks Mike!"

"Fantastic conditions for freshwater and saltwater fish. Fish room has been around for a while and well known for their care in fish. We bought some beautiful platies, gouramis, and a dwarf crawfish (they have shrimp too). Very knowledgeable and great diverse stock in healthy and pretty fish."

"In a world where buying live fish over the internet, sight unseen, has become the norm, it's wonderful to still have a brick and mortar aquarium and fish store nearby. Being able to talk to knowledgeable people and pick out your fish (avoiding tanks with floaters) is priceless. I've had all kinds of aquarium set-ups over the years from undergravel-filter Oscar tanks to heavily planted, biofiltered tropicals and coral-lined brackish tanks and I still get new tips and tricks from the caring staff at Fish Room. Maybe someday I'll delve into a saltwater tank set-up, and I hope Fish Room will still be around to help me. PetsMart is good for supplies in a crunch, but I've gotten bad advice from undertrained staff who just want to sell you something. And online-purchased fish haven't worked well for me. I highly recommend Fish Room for aquariums, fish, supplies and good advice."

"This location is wonderful and alot less busy than the Raleigh location. All staff members are attentive and friendly. My aquarium is beautiful and filled with healthy, happy fish."

"Exceptional customer service! I have had fish aquariums and raised freshwater fish since I was 10 years old, now I'm 43 and getting ready to setup a new 75 gallon acrylic African Cichlid tank. After shopping all the big box stores and growing disgusted at their selections and how they treat their fish, I decided to give this place a try. Right away I was greeted by Drew who answered my 1000 questions I threw at him, and ended up buying 35 lbs of rock, 4 bags of gravel, a new wave maker, and 3 new cichlids to add to my school. Drew was patient (especially with my two kids being there) and was super helpful to my every need. Once I made my transaction, his co-worker brought all the heavy stuff out my SUV and loaded it for me! Talk about top notch service! I will return for my aquarium needs! Thanks guys!"
