When to purchase some tropical freshwater fish they were very healthy and doing well
4 meses pra entregar 2 polvos. Não recomendo. Depois de 4 meses sem receber os animais, pedi meu reembolso e a política de de apenas 50% do valor se aplica a esse caso também... Um absurdo. Completo descaso com o cliente ainda mais pra quem revende. Não recomendo de jeito nenhum.
Not willing to accept challenging jobs waste of time calling them if you need your tank fixed
Purchased 9 albino corys they're all doing absolutely great, highly recommend to stop in and check it out, they have nice saltwater tanks aswell as freshwater with a welcoming vibe - very great customer service and great looking tanks, thank you!
Tanks were very clean. Animals all looked healthy. Mixed in with a RC hobby shop. Only suggestion is tidying the place up. Very small and a lot of clutter.

You apparently posted a review for the wrong business. We are located in Spencerport, NY and we do not sell octopuses. Please kindly remove your review of our business.

You leave a negative review because we are to busy to fix a leaking fish tank that would cost more to fix than buying a new one. Drop it it off with a $800 deposit and we will get it fixed for you. You are some Kind of special.
Purchased 9 albino corys they're all doing absolutely great, highly recommend to stop in and check it out, they have nice saltwater tanks aswell as freshwater with a welcoming vibe - very great customer service and great looking tanks, thank you!
Best Shop in town.. Good people.👍

Excellent quality for a smaller family run aquarium store. Tanks appear clean and fish look healthy. prices are very fair. Definitely worth a visit if you've never checked it out. Would recommend a vehicle with decent ground clearance since the entrance to the parking lot is a bit gnarly.
It’s a bit of a hike for me to get there but was worth it. I wasn’t sure I was at the right place because I saw a rc car trraxxis banner in the window. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked in but there’s tons of rc everything mixed in with fish. Oh and a bird and some black axolotl’s. I’m not into rc but I’m sure they have what you need there. I came for the fish! I glimpsed at the salt water real quick and the fish looked good. I have freshwater tanks and that’s what I was there for. I have to say all the tanks were clean. I didn’t see a single dead or sick fish in any of the tanks. All the fish were vigorous, lively and super healthy. Which is a big plus vs most other stores I’ve been to. It might be a little cramped a little crowded but if you’re there for nice fish it’s worth it. The husband and wife were nice and friendly. I’ll be back.
Excellent people who own and staff the store. Good advice and beautiful fish
