"I got some plants and 6 gold cloud minnows from here, and also got some plants from other places. Absolutely zero melting. The java moss was *chefs kiss*, the salvinia has at least tripled already, and everything else is still green and happy (which I can’t say about the other stuff). The fish are perfectly healthy and happy. Really nice and helpful guys, and super patient too since I got hit with the biggest headache on my way to the store. I’ll definitely be back!"

"This place is so cool to check out. They have a great selection of fish to purchase and seem pretty knowledgeable. What was disappointing was there was a tank in the back with beautiful orange fish and they were all dead or close to death. I have a hard time understanding how some tanks look pristine and others just have dead fish in it. There is work to be done if yall have fish dying and all the associates are just hanging out on their phones. Wanted to love this place more, but please take care of these creatures more. Additionally when we walked in we were greeted which was great. But we were also first time potential customers and I feel the staff here could have informed us more about the place rather than just saying “oh great, take a look around”."

"I typically refrain from providing negative feedback, but I feel it's essential to share my experiences honestly. I would rate this establishment a 3-star mainly due to my interactions with a specific staff member – a long-haired blonde individual. Unfortunately, my encounters with them have been somewhat dismissive. During a recent visit, I came in with a specific product inquiry, hoping to find it in stock. However, the staff member, rather than assisting me actively, promptly mentioned that the manufacturer doesn't sell the parts separately. While this is a valid response, I was disappointed by the lack of effort in suggesting a substitution. As a customer, this was a frustrating experience. On a positive note, other staff members, especially a helpful brunette, have been instrumental in assisting me. I appreciate his assistance in identifying the replacement pump I needed, facilitating a successful purchase. I believe there is room for improvement in customer service training for the staff, particularly addressing instances like the one I encountered. It's worth mentioning that I have not faced any issues with the owner; in fact, my experiences with him have been positive. Therefore, focusing on enhancing the customer service skills of specific staff members could significantly enhance the overall customer experience at the establishment."

"I wish I had taken some pictures to share. Will next time and there will definitely be a next time. Cool little shop totally non-pretentious. Good variety of fish and plants. Staff were super approachable and incredibly helpful. We’re very new in our fish keeping journey. All our questions were answered very respectfully and honestly. Nobody tried to upsell me on things i didnt need, but I definitely left with everything i do need, and the confidence and training to start my tank cycling and in get my aquarium going strong. I’m super glad we found this place and it was definitely worth our drive from Celina. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who helped us so much (my memory is just awful). I came in with my three kids on 1-11-24. He made us loyal customers. If you’re reading this, thank you!"

"I usually travel to Addison for decent fish options since there’s nothing further north except big box stores. Found this place which is a much more reasonable drive for me, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a great selection of freshwater fish. Place is cramped, but it’s not a big deal. Prices were on point with any other place selling fish from reputable breeders."
