I am new to the hobby of owing an aquarium and the staff made me feel very welcomed. Super knowledgeable people who you can tell they are passionate about what they do.
Very knowledgeable and had plenty of different options for different setups of tanks and plenty of hard scape
They have a couple of saltwater tanks with softies under daylight spectrum. 1/5 if you’re coming here for saltwater. If you’re going for freshwater, this store had so many beautiful tanks and they all looks really clean and nice! Lots of scraping stuff for what appeared to be good prices (I’m not super familiar with freshwater). 5/5!
This was my first time visiting the store. I was looking for a crowntail betta with mostly black coloring and one secondary accent color. They didn’t have what I was looking for in stock at the time, but the person running the store was very helpful and took the time to ask about exactly what I wanted. They then let me know when their next shipment would arrive and asked me to come back. When that day came, I actually returned right on time, and they had already prepared several options for me to choose from. I was very happy with the experience and really appreciated the effort they put into helping me find the right fish.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They've been a great resource as we started our first freshwater tank.
Rivershore is by far the best aquatic store in the Twin Cities area. I’ve been coming here for several years now and am always incredibly impressed with the knowledge of the staff and the way they take care of every fish. The tanks are well set up, clean, and the fish/plants are always very healthy. There’s always a variety at the store, it’s so hard to leave without buying something. I cannot recommend this store enough!!
One of the nicest stores I've been too. Tanks were all clean and fish looked exceptionally healthy. Saltwater section has alot of potential too.
Friendly and knowledgeable
First time taking care of an aquarium, I lucked out and came to the right place! Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. They'll even answer questions and provide solutions over the phone. Super thankful for them!
