Reviews of Fish Doctors (Fish Shop)

Dori Zaidel

Excellent place. They did a water test for me and answered several questions about proper plants for angelfish tanks and what some compatible tankmates would be. When I am ready to upgrade to a larger tank I will be going back there for help in choosing the best one.

As always, the kids wanted to see every tank, and had a million questions. Their price on feeder fish is unbeatable, has me driving from Manchester to Ypsi every other week at least. The staff is awesome, with solid recommendations and sound advice every step of the way. Best place for feeders, great coral and tropical fish selection, awesome fresh water supply, and great staff.

Tom the owner is Amazing he has been in the fish Business for over 25 years. I live in Toledo and the fish doctors is my only fish store u go to .they are awesome

Alison Root

Went with some friends to look for some new fish. Really friendly staff who are all super knowledgeable and ready to help with any questions. They have a lot of neat species who all looked very healthy and happy. Place is a little small and when we went it was pretty packed which was great to see, but can be a bit difficult to walk around with all the tanks.

J Crawford

Nicholas Braatz

This place is amazing! I visit 6 different fish stores in the Detroit area depending on what I am looking for. I can say this place is great. Tanks are clean and the fish are well taken care of. Staff are great and knowledgeable. I overheard a staff member explaining the nitrate cycle to a customer and I was impressed with their knowledge. Also, great store for the expert aquarist and the beginner. I will always swing in on my travels. Thank you.

Russ Stark

Friendly, helpful staff.

Jesse Smith

james grapp

Fish (fresh and saltwater), and everything you could ever need for them, can be found here. Staff are knowledgable and courteous. You can't go wrong here.

Samuel Barczy

Beautiful store, nice staff!

Amilie Fawn

I'm a regular here, I love this place. The staff is very caring and resourceful. Very knowledgeable, I feel like I'm always learning when I come in.

Clete Mclaughlin

carey mcbee

The wife and i stopped in for our first time. Was very impressed with their fish and prices. The staff was also great! We would recommend them to anyone and we will be back for sure to grab more fish as soon as we can!

Nick Schlo

For all your aquatic needs. They have fresh and salt water covered. They can even order in an octopus if you want one!

Matthew Jakubas

Very good place for fish large selection of fresh and saltwater.

Adrienne Haywood

I love this store. The staff are super knowledgeable and helpful. They have answered many of my questions and helped solve many fish issues for me. Great selection of fish and products. If they don't have something, they'll order it for you. I would always give these guys my business, rather than a Petco or PetSmart.

Jennifer Bush

Amazing team there. I have had two fish die in my tank and panicked. I took some water into them and within 5 minutes they were able to tell me the exact problem and how to fix it. In my opinion, EVERYTHING there is fairly priced. I was actually very shocked at how fairly everything is priced.

Daniel Kesterson

Without a doubt the best store in the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti area for any and all aquarium needs. Their stock of freshwater and saltwater fish, coral, and shellfish is outstanding, as is their supply of all other aquarium equipment. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.

slayer 7660

Cool fishes and family friendly service

Ralf The Medic

Extremely helpful staff. They are very knowledgeable and will help you out, no matter little or how large the problem is. I highly recommend them to any who owns fish or plan to own fish.

Bruce Kopitz

Marine aquarists tend to return to shops they like. We are fussy, and our fidelity can only be earned with good stock and good business practices. Fish Doctors qualifies as such an establishment. Fish Doctors, within limits, even guarantees your live purchases - a rare protection afforded by few marine pet stores. Fish Doctors has never sold me a diseased fish or coral (though they "gifted" me with a few aptasia once). Their stock of lights, pumps, filters, medium, other dry goods and frozen/live foods is large, diverse and fairly priced. Tom's joint is the best!

Spencer Knight

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Good selection of fish.

Trisha E

Good customer service and selection. They should give more warnings about fish they don't guarantee and that their plants have snails. A sign somewhere on a wall isn't the same and doesn't count as a notification.

Robert Nelson

Outstanding business/great people too !!!

Zachariah Sperry

Everything you need and more, mostly we just walk around and see all the amazing salt and fresh water fish available! Staff are really knowledgeable and happy to give advice, no matter how weird your question.

Nadeem Zafer

So much variety of fish with expert staff that understand and cater to your needs. Fish our their love and the enthusiasm shows.

David Thompson

Very knowledgeable, healthy fish, very nice Discus/Amazon selection as well as a Marine and African!

Tim Lang

Fun spot! Lots of exotic fish and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Kind of like going to an aquarium.

James Schoen

Best aquarium shop in the Ann Arbor area. Huge selection of fresh and salt water fish, plants, coral, etc. The staff is extremely knowledgeable.

llaska01

The employees are so friendly & very knowledgeable.

Ted Mihalca

Awesome place with a very friendly and helpful staff! Definitely check them out before Petco and other big box stores

Chris Savage

Always a friendly staff willing to help with whatever questions you may need. Their freshwater fish selection has greatly grown over the last couple years. They carry live food which is always a fun treat for fish tanks. They sell their freshwater fish much younger than most chains and I've always thought it was fun to watch a fish get big. Whether you already have an established coral reef or are thinking about setting up a simple freshwater tank this really is a great store to check out.

John Miller

Staff very helpful

Amanda Major

Very kind people helped me push my big truck out of the icy driveway today. If I had fish needs I would exclusively go here.

Zak Beaty

These guys and gals know their stuff.

David Haight

Jerry Roscoe

One of my favorite local fish stores to visit, a little bit of everything from fresh water planted to saltwater reef tanks.

John Holbrook

This is the only place I go to. They have always been really good to me. They really are Doctors of fish! They have taught me so much about the fish I have always bought from them through the years!

Alex Bush

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Fish prices that are competitive with online. Great place!

Jerry Kozak

Going to this store once a year for my summer mosquito fish is a little thing that I really look forward to. It's an awesome shop outright, and everyone is really friendly and helpful. We're lucky to have this store in the area!

Dan Lor

They have stuff other pet stores doesn't. Fishes that other stores doesn't. And experts. Although they were busy when I visited, long wait but definitely worth it because they're attentive and nice.

Lon C

The place to go when you really want answers to why your fish is swimming upside down

Ellen Altecore

I take leaving reviews very seriously. I don't take pleasure in giving poor reviews but I have been coming here since I got into saltwater which is just about over one year and I have bought all but one fish from fish doctors. I will no longer buy any fish from them. I just bought a Blue Tang one week ago exactly from them. I qted it and it did not do well in it. Ate right away.. fat little guy but two days ago I saw marks on his skin which I thought was his slime coat shedding. IIcalled fish do tors and talked to an employee and he said keep an eye on it. As long as he is eating don't worry too much. Well that fish loved food. Last night something told me to dip him. I did and more than 30 flukes fell off his skin. He was a two inch fish. He suffered needlessly. I do not medicate unless I know I need to and I tried to save him but he stopped eating only hours before he died. He tried to fight it and I feel awful I didn't medicate with prazipro but he was just a baby. I screwed up by not adding prazi as a precaution but I also think it is the responsibility of the seller to insure on selling a healthy fish . This wasn't the first fish that I've bought from them that has died needlessly. I have perfect water conditions, a healthy reef. I don't feel it is worth buying from them. I don't think I want to return the dead fish for credit because I really feel traumatised watching a baby blue Tang fight for his life and die within hours of it showing signs of I'llness. That being said, some of the employees are really wonderful and I do like the owner. I know they are good people but that was just too much for me to ever return as a customer. Not to mention while I shopped , a yellow Tang died and I'm wondering if it was from flukes as well as copper meds do not kill flukes. So who knows. I hope they do better for their other customers.

Paul Girard

Great selection and helpful staff. Tom is great!

Danielle Brown

My betta is super healthy and doing great, thanks! Awesome store and nice staff

David Lutes

Good staff, reasonable prices

Yuching

I went to this store regularly for about two years and have only had positive experiences with them. Very friendly, very willing to help, and passionate about fish! They always had a nice variety of nano freshwater fish like hatchet fish, pea puffers, sparkling gouramis, stone catfish, galaxy rasboras, and dwarf shrimp. They have a decent-sized selection of saltwater fish, too, probably 3-4 times more selection than the usual Petco has. I'm not sure how knowledgeable the employees are on average about fishkeeping since instead of asking questions about fish at the store, I tended to read about a certain species of fish for at least 2-3 hours online (usually more...just for fun) before deciding to buy one. But rather than relying on store employees to be knowledgeable, I'd highly recommend doing your own research and gathering information from several different websites online before buying any fish.

Jim Duff

This place is awesome very fish knowledgeable and will help you with anything no matter how small the problem is

Chris Knott

Great staff, products, and service. Tom and I go way back, and my tanks/fish have never looked better.

Brandon Gray

My favorite mom and pop fish store. The owner is very friendly. As well as most of the staff. If your looking for a place that can get just about any legal fish you want this is your place. They are happy to order you fish if they don't carry them in stock. Or just about any supplies you may want as well.

Cole Nelson

Always have very smart and kind workers who will help you find what you are looking for. Never ever had any problem they couldn't help.

Eric kopy

Awesome customer service very friendly, lots and lots of fish fresh water and salt water lots of aquarium set ups for sale, highly recommend in my book

Here's what makes an outstanding business: Staff who are enthusiastic about the product and want to be good ambassadors, and a great selection.

Thanks Zak!

About 2 days ago we came in and had a pleasant experience with very informative staff. we've been there a few times before to buy food and filters. the last time we went , we decided to get two fish. Today we had two fish die, both we have had for almost a year. neither of them had any issues before we brought the new ones home. and our friends fish now have ick from the fish he bought from there. we followed instructions on NOT putting the stores tank water into our tank. will NOT be coming back for fish or any other supplies. very devistated in loosing our fish.

Michal Ostrowski

Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Kathy Dawley

I took my daughter here to gather supplies for a biology project. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and guided her to the best fit for what the project called for. We were concerned about making sure everything would stay alive, in a sealed environment, and Marissa was amazing with all her knowledge and advice! She made sure we had everything to maintain the best environment for the duration of the project and beyond! The store was especially busy and they still took the time to help my daughter and didn’t rush her along. Thank you all!!!

Julie Wallace
