Pure Fish Works

"I shop here regularly now because Shawn and Rob are just great as so many other reviewers have said. The store has grown as the business has thrived. It is truly awesome to work with fellow hobbyists when investing in my aquariums. They know their stuff and care about our success caring for our fish, plants and other critters. You should check out the store. I know they will be happy to meet you and learn about the goals you have for your aquariums and reptile stuff too."

"The owners are awesome and they have a unique selection of Fish and other animals. If they don’t have something In stock, the owner is more than willing to try and get It in stock for you! Just talk to him he’s very friendly. You definitely need to check this place out."

"The first thing you notice walking into the shop is that the shop-keeper is right there welcoming you in and asking if he can help you. The trick is that there are two of them and they are both incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, arms deep in the tanks (so to speak) and *want* to chat with you about any kind if aquarium *anything*! Of course they have fish and plants. I was there for Mystery snails and happily found gold, white, blue and brown with a white foot in addition to brown with a brown foot. But! They also have a bearded dragon, a corn snake, other random things my Service Dog was afraid of so I did not explore. But when i say they have fish, my first thought was...they don't have very many. But i was wrong. The deception is that you feel an openness in the store and see some empty tanks. But as you look at full tank after full tank, you see fresh water fish in small and large...guppies, goldfish, rainbow fish, catfish types, and more exotic. And salt water fish...in tank after tank. The beautiful fish, colors, sizes, varieties! Whatever you want that they do not have, they will order in for you. No one knows how long it can take depending on where the fish come from...the geopolitical world makes some trade impossible so new routes are untested. So, why did they lose one star? I simply wish the tanks looked better. I believe all the fish to be healthy. I think the tanks were all mostly bare and in some cases stained. Maybe the fish friends could use a little bit of backing on the aquarium or decorations/plants in it? There is just something missing. But talk to the owners and you know they care about you and for their fish friends!!"

"This store is an ideal example of a local aquatic store. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and the owners were super kind and personable. They've got more variety of plants, fish, and other stock than I've seen at any large chain pet store, and I mean that wholeheartedly. From small neon tetras to adult plecos, African Dwarf frogs to eels, snails to shrimp, freshwater to reef, even reptiles and tarantulas, it's truly like a library of creatures and plants you can get lost in. It's more expensive than bigger chain stores, but to someone who values ethical practices and small businesses, the extra price is so worth it. Even if you're not an expert, still a great place for the aquarium and reptile enthusiast."

"Shawn and his shop are awesome! He is super knowledgeable, friendly, and spent lots of time answering my questions and helping me pick a beautiful pair of Apistogramma Cacatuoides for my tank! He's got tons of rare, unique fish, including several that are brand new to the hobby and I'd never heard of before. He's passionate about the hobby and about helping people select the best possible fish for their particular aquarium. Highly recommend!"
