      Great experience! The owner is very knowledgeable. I've been specifically looking for a reputable place to buy corydoras, and i found it! They've been very healthy. It's great to know a local place exists with an owner who has a true passion in ensuring you receive the top notch quality you're looking for. Never again will i buy corys from petsmart or petco!!

      My first time of ordering fish online. With it being winter I was a little concerned with the mail. Placed my order late Monday night. I get a text Wednesday afternoon it was shipped. The box was dropped at my door this morning. It was well packaged and the fish were well bagged. I followed the acclimation guide and all is looking great.

      I’ve been looking for a variety of fish for my tank and unfortunately, because of the pandemic, many places are experiencing shortages and limited varieties on their normal stock. I thankfully stumbled upon this place by searching online And couldn’t be happier. Nguyen is such a nice and knowledge guy, and was able to get all the fish I was looking for! Fish came quickly and all seem to be thriving. Defiantly will come back for all my fish needs. Thank you !

      I received amazingly fast friendly service and beautiful fish. My order was shipped the same day I ordered, which is practically unheard of when it comes to buying fish online. The fish arrived well packaged and were active. They had color and looked healthy. I am very happy with my purchase!

      Went here for a fish and advice on setting up the tank for a young child because the fish in the big pet stores looked unhealthy. The proprietor was as helpful as one could be, answered all our questions and offered great advice based on our needs. The space was small, but he made excellent use of it and you could see all the fish were healthy and active. He even showed us how to train them. He clearly cares for his fish and was just so knowledgeable on every topic relating to keeping fish. Appointment was required. We will definitely be going back for our fish needs.

      Got sent the wrong fish. I bought the A07 white dumbo betta but got the A04 betta instead with severe tail damage that had regrowth on it, so the damage didn’t occur during the Next Day Air shipping I paid for.

      I wrote an email to seller to give him an opportunity to make things right, and I got 2 auto reply emails - one generic one and the other about their DOA policies which makes no sense since I didn’t even inquire about that.

      Been raising bettas since 2004 and this is the worst seller I’ve come across.

      Shop here if you want to get scammed.

      Perfect Weeping Moss

      The perfectly green moss was in great shape at purchase and was just what my shrimp tank aquarium needed. I used them to make small bonsai trees that haven't lost any of their deep green appearance.

      Great Looking Accent Rocks

      Very happy with the Dark Blue Sky Rock I purchased for my Hillstream Loach aquarium. The loaches took to the rocks immediately and boosted the appearance of my tank.

      Excellent

      Nguyen really helped us out a lot. He took the time to walk us through everything we needed to get our tank started, even down to some of the styles people use to scape freshwater tanks. He was able to explain everything in a way we were able to understand and is clearly very passionate about what he does. We’ll definitely be going back

      RO Water for a balanced aquarium

      I live in an area with crappy tap water (extremely high GH, 0 KH and ~5 pH). Mixing in a few buckets of RO water for water changes occasionally helps keep my aquarium balanced and is easy to pick up at the shop.
