Best Saltwater Fish Store I've Seen!

by SPARTAN VI at Citysearch

This is by far the best aquatic store I've ever come across. Their prices aren't as good as other places I frequent, but they make up for it in quality and diversity of livestock and dry goods. 2/3 of the store is livestock, they have a section in the back for Fiji live rock, rubble, and live sand, which many fish stores leave out. They have a great selection of corals and a frag tank up in the front of the store at great prices; perfect for nano reefers. They also sell chaeto, which I've yet to come across in other fish stores.

Their fish selection is excellent. I've yet to come across ORA black and white clowns, catalina gobies, jawfish, and others I've seen here. They have a small selection of inverts, which definitely needs improvement (saw numerous empty displays in the back, so perhaps they're planning to beef up their invert inventory).

Their dry goods are moderately priced. They have nice systems for sale that seem custom. Shame they exclusively sell Rio powerheads, was hoping to find MaxiJets, don't like Rios. All in all, they're the best fish store I've come across, just a bit more expensive than most.

• Pros: Great selection. Great prices on frags
• Cons: Little more expensive than most.

Aquatic Fantasy has been in business since 1986. If you get a chance visit our store and experience it for yourself. Staying in business for over 20 years with the same owner has to say something about our reputation. We do not have any high school students servicing aquariums. If there are any issues with our service, please contact the owner. I believe I have been to service this customers aquarium on several occasions. Maybe putting in 20 fish at one time has something to do with them dying. We even boarded some of your fish that you bought from another store and brought them back from deaths door. Good luck with your aquarium(s) and business venture.

Unreliable and Rude

by AquaticLover at Citysearch

This place seems great on the inside but they are extremely unprofessional. They were servicing my tank and everything went to hell. They never informed me on the equipment I needed for the tank untill a fish died. Each time they came I needed something else when everything could have just been solved with a skimmer. Then when the summer came around all my fish and corals died because I was never told I needed a chiller. If you want to deal with a car salesman go to aquatic fantasy! If you want a professional go somewhere else! Save your money!

• Pros: Beautiful store
• Cons: Horrible service plus high school students doing the tank maintance jobs
