Tropic Bay Water Gardens 600 West Central Avenue, Davidsonville, MD 21035

"Absolutely love this place, the owner and his associates are very knowledgeable and kind. Steve the owner will literally walk you through every step when it comes to setting up a water feature. What I love most of all is they carry everything you need for both large and small setups. Even if you don't have the space for a large koi pond and just want something for your patio, Steve and his crew have you covered. I bring my 5 year old regularly to feed the fish and see his beautiful birds."

"I have been here 3 times in one month. Each time I go hoping to get a koi but see sick koi in the tank each time. I have seen them swimming sideways, eyes bulging and sores. If you have sick fish take the sick ones out and treat the fish. Don't sell over priced koi thst are possibly harboring infections. From the looks of it you don't even give refunds to those you sold sick."

"I’ve been to “pet stores” I’ve been to hatchery’s, and fish specialty stores all over Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania, with that said I love this place. It’s over an hour drive and I’ve made the trip 5 times 4 of which I brought friends and family to not only look for new fish but to enjoy the experience. I’ve spent over a thousand dollars on several butterfly koi, normal koi and comet to enhance my pond. Is the owner short? Maybe but working in customer service is MISERABLE!… if you haven’t you shouldn’t be able to leave a review as you can never please everyone. He has a different sense of humor and either you get it or you don’t but the man knows his fish. I once asked if I could get a discount as it was my birthday and his response… are you gonna come back and pay extra when it’s my birthday? The man’s not wrong. He has a phenomenal facility and a phenomenal selection of fish and plants. Everyone saying it’s dirty, unkept, whatever…. Open a place comparable with his selection, using high school age help and dealing with know it alls. You’ll be out of business in a month. Hence why there’s no other place like this. Hanover Koi farm is the only other place even comparable but is in itself is a completely different experience."

"I e never been to a Koi store before. It was quite an experience. I also saw lots of ideas for ways to create a water feature in my back yard. Had to cut my visit short, so I don't have time to ask questions, but I'll be back"

"The owner has a know it all attitude , this place reminds me a cheap knock off store near a military base overseas. All of the yard and garden decor is over priced from China ( as labeled) , most of the stuff is cheaper at Amazon or PetSmart. Not well Taken care of , the place is dirty and they spend most of their time belittling customers. The koi fish are in the wrong ponds so they try to up charge you if you pick out fish , then up charge you on “special “ food that a 2 second google search will show you . Do yourself a favor and shop somewhere with better customer service. We won’t be back ."
