Reviews of FISH WORLD AND PET SHOP, LLC (Fish Shop)

Ashley Winter

Went in to get water tested because my fish keep dying. They made helpful suggestions to which products would help correct my water levels. The gentlemen spent time explaining information that I needed to maintain a healthy tank. I will definitely be back for future needs. I don't understand the negative reviews. I did not think the store smelled or had dirty fish tanks.

This location is not somewheres that I would recommend buying fish. The store is dirty and just not pleasant to be in. The fish and equipment are priced much higher then necessary. Staff is somewhat knowledge but still not a reason to buy anything here.

Worst place purchased a seperater formy fish tank didnt seperate my fish could still get thru and no refund, no return as much business as we did with these people. Fish are crappy too

Kyle Newsome

I absolutely love this store. family owned. They have sweet deals for their customers. They have the freshest water to give your animals, turtle, fish or lizard. They have heat lamps, (all Waltages) all types of live food. My turtle loves the mealworms; which turn into beatles. :) the staff are so friendly. I go every week and 1/2 for the water. Simply because its $1 for a gallon refill.

It is unfortunate that it is the only one in Hinesville. They don't care about their customers. Doors locked on Saturday at 11:05 eventhough they are suppose to open at 11 am. The employee/owner saw I was waiting and just kept on vacuuming. Their prices are very high, even for a LFS. I reocmmend Coastal Aquarium in Richmond Hill or Exotic Underworlds in Savannah.

The staff is very knowledgeable about fish. I can see how some people will get rubbed the wrong way with the owners. They are a bit costly for items; however, they won't blow smoke just to get you to purchase an item. I like this kind of attitude. The tanks are always in pristine condition. There is a good selection of medication for fish. I was thinking about getting Discus fish and the owner suggested that I get my planted tank up and running first before purchasing the fish. This was the best advice I've received. I’m not sure if they can do special orders, but call and see. It's been about 7 months and my plants are growing pretty good. I will make a purchase of Discus from them soon. If you want someone that cares about the fish, these guys do 100%. The store selection varies from time to time. One side of the store is dedicated to freshwater/tropical and the other side is saltwater. It's a small operation but every comet gold fish that I've purchased for my son is still alive. I picked up the same amount from petsmart and they are all dead. Please do your water changes…not every kit tests the same.

Fish World and Pet Shop is an amazing store. After going to many fish stores to look for a place I can depend on while getting back into the hobby, none came even remotely close to the level of care and attention brought by John and his staff. Everyone that works there is very professional and knowledgeable. So happy with our new Red Sea and all of the beautiful livestock we took home so far. Everything is doing great Go see John if you need an aquarium, or stop by the store for great deals and rare finds. Thanks Fish World! Glad we found you

This website shows open 24 hours that's a mistake bc the sign on doors say 11..wont be wasting my time here ..this would have been a no star for false advertising

Disgraceful. The other reviews pretty much said it. The staff are there for a paycheck, the products are filthy and ill-kept, and the non-fish pets look to have given up on life. I almost bought a feeder rat to give it a good home, but at this point I think they'd love death's cold embrace. I'll be making the long trip to Savannah for my pet supplies from now on. Those animals need help.

Super knowledgeable people. If you really don't know about fish just tell them what you want from a fish tank and listen to them.

Casey Kluge

I absolutely love this place. I go here on the regular to buy frozen food for my fish. (I have a 55 GAL.) They are very helpful with any questions you would ever have, a great selection of supplies for your tank and if there is something specific you are looking for they can even order it for you sometimes. The people are very friendly and better then lots of the PETSMART's located in Savannah, GA that everybody seems to say is so much better even when their supply of fish have ICH and they don't seem to care. This place is clearly better.

Alan George

Walked in, walked right out. Went in looking for anything saltwater, seen dirty tanks, only 2 fish, and a lack of supplies. Didn't look at the freshwater selection because after looking at their saltwater stock i knew i was going to be disappointing. Plus is smelled like sour butt inside....

Mark Wright

Had a great experience purchasing my first fish tank. They walked me through every step needed to set up a tank answering all my question and even gave me some product to help start my tank. If you're looking for a place to help you and a place that knows what they are talking about try them. Will highly recommend them to family and friends

Lazy, doesn't open on time. Rude.

Kristin McCutcheon

So knowledgeable, so kind, so helpful! Don't waste your time at the Big Chain stores like PetSmart and Walmart. This store is run on love and care forfor th animals. Ask any question and they will do everything they can to help you. They want the best for you and your animals that you're purchasing. They are not overpriced at all. Go check them out they'll be more than happy to help you! Thank you Dalton for taking the time to help explain everything to us!

Emma Sharpe

If i could i would give it a .5 star! I think this place is a nasty,dirty,rotten,smelly,obnoxious to my nose, horrifying, place. Don't waste your time and money there! RUDE MUCH??!?!? NAW anyway, i bought a guinea pig and even though it was a baby, DEAD within at least 10 minutes..... GO TOO SAVANNAH NOW

Brandy Lynn

This store was disgusting. It smelled horrible and the poor animals they have are in dirty, nasty tanks and cages. They have absolutely no knowledge of the types of fish they carry. They flat out said that you can put 10 Oscars (African Cichlids) in a 10 gallon tank... I won't go back to this place.

travis davis

Very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. Very good quality fish, great selection of fish and products for your fish. I recommend over any big chain pet store if you're looking for fish.

Deanna Carter

I got a spider from here and they forgot to tell me to kept the cage dam, i also got a gunea pig and i died the second i got into the driveway. DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE

If you are a serious aquarium enthusiast and you live in Hinesville your best bet is to go to Savannah or Jacksonville, this store has nothing you could use in stock and the staff know little when it comes to fish. They carry the same thing Walmart does!! Seriously do not waste your time.

Chelsea Leonardo

Only fishes. Pretty dull place even just to view some tank. I wasn't impressed.

Nick Harsh

People are kinda push but they do have a good selection of fish and a ok selection of other animals..kinda pricey..won't be able to compete with the bigger name pet shops in town

cristy van nest

Smelled awful, the guy working there had no idea what he was talking about when I explained I was looking for larger African cichlids because they are an aggressive fish. He said I must have special fish because they aren't aggressive.

Kandra Hudson

I went here once with my daughter and have not nor will I go back. I was not pleased at all. It was dirty the fishes look sick or barley alive and the prices was high... Not sure if anyone ever brought anything from therm but i was not about to waste my dollars here. Hinesville need to do better and redo this whole shop to make it worth going to, even if its for the kids to look at.

If you're a reptilian lover like me, you know what we'll cared for reptiles look like. This store sells chameleons, a very hard to care for reptile. They keep them in glass tanks, which any semi intelligent reptile owner knows that stagnant air makes chameleons I'll and they need at least two mesh sides to their tank as well as a specialty humidifier unless you plan to do it yourself every three hours including overnight. The birds are kept in tanks much too small. The "coral" is sad. Seriously sad. It looks like a beginner tank gone horribly horribly wrong. Anyone who knows even a little tiny bit about animals should be able to take one look around this store and know something it horribly wrong. You can see rat traps hidden in corners as well. I'm pretty positive this place should be shut down as I'm well aware of the laws for exotic animals in pet stores and the way they need to be maintained. The two people working were rude when I attempted to ask questions, the owner didn't bother to get up when I asked where things where. And I've seen comments on bad reviews saying they would take "legal" action against people. Which is ridiculous.... Honestly 0/5 stars and hoping these animals are rescued. May even be going back just to rescue a few myself.
