I was told about this shop by a Petco employee and I'm glad I made the drive to check it out.
The owner and her husband immediately gave me a friendly greeting when I stepped into the shop. It's well lit and stocked with everything from plants, tanks, accessories, chemicals and foods for the plants and your new fishy friends.
The tanks are immaculate and the fish are obviously well loved. They have a rotated diet and are socialized in nicely planted tanks. The variety here is beautiful.
I got lots of great info here. The woman who helped me spent some time educating me and sharing some insight on how to improve my tank at home.
They even have a program to plan you a fish to help cycle a new tank! Just an incredible resource for anyone who needs anything for a fish here.
I'd make this your first stop; pricing is very reasonable and on parity with what you'd get at a chain store, but you're treating your fish much better here because they aren't being left in cold cups like at the big pet stores.
Looking forward to the renovations and the move into an even bigger space soon.
Mr. Frogger looks pretty happy in his new home :)
Updated review: November 9th 2020 is the day that they opened. After visiting I'm excited to see the dedication to the fish they have. As I spoke with the owners about, there is no dedicated fish store on the Peninsula, until now. Yeah there's Petco and Petsmart and Farmland nearby but they aren't solely about the fish. This establishment (on their grand opening) had 50+ 29 gallon tanks filled with Danios, Rasboras, Endlers, Cichlids, Gouramis, Knife Fish, Puffers, Angelfish, Bettas (not in cups) and others I'm sure I'm forgetting. They only have about 60% of what they're going to normally stock (thanks Covid) some of the things to come are Discus and Crayfish to name a few. They have properly cycled all the tanks and every single fish looked happy and healthy. They anticipate in a few weeks time to begin taking special orders, they don't quite have the tanks set up for it yet. It should be noted at this time they don't have saltwater (may to come they aren't sure yet). Drystock is low right now (food, chemicals, additives, gravel/ substrate) but I'm sure that will change soon. I'll definitely be heading here for my fish from now on.
Original Review: It seems as they're not quite open yet as I stopped by Sunday during their posted hours as I was in the area and always looking for new local fish stores and they didn't seem to be open yet. Still in the setting up phase it looked like. However, I'm excited there seems to be another local fish store coming into the area. I'll be leaving an updated review once I visit when they are open.
