Great selection of fish. Especially saltwater. Even better selection of corals. Front end has good, quality products as well!

First time here today. I have been looking for an excuse to start up the 100 gallon again. Had a great time just browsing. All the fish looked active and healthy. There was so much stock. They had a huge SAE in the back that was beautiful. The person at the front also advised me to buy a less expensive food item for my betta instead of the one I was going to buy.

Aquatic Collection has very healthy fish and corals. The service is terrific. All the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The two owners, Carson and Joe are very accommodating and provided me with excellent customer service.

We had a lot of baby platy fish and our tank was too small. PetSmart and Petco couldn’t help, but Aquatic Collection was amazing — they kindly accepted our fish and were very helpful and friendly. Really appreciate their support.

I shopped at this aquarium for the last 2 years. Every time I go & ask questions I get different answers from different employees. So much so I just try to ask the manager who has been there since I started shopping there in hopes of getting accurate information. Last Sunday 10/19 I purchased a flagfin angel, a starfish and two snails, & a coral. I had my water tested before I purchased the fish as I alway do to make sure it is safe to add more fish. My water parameters were fine & I was told it was fine to add more fish. 3 days later my flagfin fish was dead. I called the store today as this is the second time I purchased a fish from them and it was dead within a couple of days. I answered all do the troubleshooting question only for them to say I don’t know why your fish just died but there is nothing we can do about it. Basically oh well it’s just apart of buying fish. As a customer of the last two years this is terrible customer service and very dismissive. It is clear it is only about the money at this shop.
