Reviews of Something Fishy (Fish Shop)

John Petko

Something fishy is the place to go for anything fish related. Ian the owner has extensive knowledge of the care and maintaining of all different kinds of fish. He can explain tank setup, proper balancing of the tank, how to combine the correct fish together and your tank so they won't eat each other... LOL! But it's more than just that, he has tanks everywhere with sizes reaching over a hundred gallons. In some he has stingrays, freshwater gars, and other large fish, I could only dream of having. We bought a tank from a large pet store that was happy to sell us almost $100 worth of tank, decorations and fish and really didn't explain the proper care and maintenance of the tank. We were led to believe just add water, fish, plug in the filter and heater and that was all you needed to do. Ian walked us through step-by-step what we need to do to set up our tank, stock it and maintain it successfully without killing our fish every couple weeks. We will buy Future fish from this store, and when we upgrade to a larger tank, I will consult with him on how to do it properly. Highly recommend this store for the expertise and knowledge of the owner. He also said that if he didn't stock what we desired, he could order it. So I would rather go to the store that Deals Only in fish and has a man who knows how to raise and maintain them. He also has breeder tanks and explained the process of all that, it's a little bit above what I'm ready for now. Very nice to talk with him!

Best local fish store in a 50 mile radius. Had a great selection of fish with a focus on African and South American cichlids and plecos. I had read the reviews online ahead of time and I would definitely say it lives up to the hype.

Extremely impressed! Something Fishy has everything you need, whether you're a beginner or an advanced 'fish person'. Was very surprised with the amount of different kinds of fish they have! From the basic guppy to the exotic kinds, plus has all of the accessories that are needed. Being a novice, I was full of questions and the owner took the time to answer every question I had with full explanations that I could understand. Owner is exceptionally knowledgeable in all aspects & very friendly ~definitely worth the drive!
