With possibly the largest selection of freshwater fish in the TC it's always a treat to trek it out to A World of Fish to see what they have in stock. The staff is knowledgeable if not friendly, 1 out of the 5 staff available that day was very helpful. The person I assume was the owner was very short and grouchy yelling at the other staff the rest of the time. I'd wager A World of Fish has the largest selection of hardscape I've seen in the metro proper, the fish and plants were also all healthy with no dead ones in sight. I went in initially looking for plants and shrimp, prices are noticeably higher than other shops and chains for all items and fish. I ended up paying $6 for golfball sized Java Moss and $9 for single a Cherry Shrimp
Best selection in the twin cities. Beautiful, healthy, well maintained aquariums. This is the only place I'll go for aquatic fish and supplies.
They have a great selection of live plants and are always very helpful in giving advice on what to pick for our fish. Also price competitive with the big box stores and their fish and plants are way healthier. S/O to Dan-he's awesome!
Wonderful place to just give a walk through if you have time. Always a well stocked aquarium shop; fresh and salt. Known carrier of the mystical Mandarin Goby. They have a couple in stock from time to time. They also sell a few aquariums and accessories.
Been going here for years. Dan and the staff are great. Good selection on both saltwater and fresh water fish, but honestly what keeps me coming back is the kind and friendly service my wife and I always receive. All around awesome store.
Well kept fish. Pack the bags with oxygen. Plenty of variety. Knowledgeable staff.
Good service,crowded but still great customer service, the tanks were a little dirty and the betta cups were a little dirty.But overall great shop and I walk definitely come back! :D
EXTREMELY helpful and friendly employees! large selection of good quality fish. just got into the tank scene a few months ago and have already become a life long customer!
Hasn't changed much in appearance over the past decades. Still one of the best places in the twin cities to shop fish.
Nice people if you get there attention, nice selection but a bit over priced.
The staff are always courteous and helpful. They're knowledgable without being condescending and they seem to truly enjoy the hobby. I've been there 4 times this week already and each experience has been wonderful. There was a small issue with pricing during a return but the associate who rang it out took care of it quickly and professionally. These guys and gals will always be my go-to LFS for my freshwater tank. Invest in their club rewards early!!
One of my favorite fish store here in MN. Come here many time since I was a kid. Now I'm older and coming back with my kids. We was there last week looking for a blue crayfish for my son. There was only one staff and there was lots of customer. We waited to get help but he was busy with other costumer so we decided to leave since it was already there closing time. We got to the car and he was able to come back out and get us and give us a good deal on the crayfish we wanted. Just want to say thank you and my boy is super happy with his new Crayfish
The device is ok. Some of the staff are great and others well they are not. The hours are good and I like the selection. However they hardly ever answer the phone, at least when I have called. But what really strikes me is the over crowding, and diseased fish. They also do not implement lots of new tech and seem to be stuck in the 90's. But aside from all of that they are bot a horrible establishment, again lots of fish and staff are generally knowledgeable and helpful.
So many varieties of fish!
Best fish place in the cities!
Love the atmosphere here. Been going here since I was a kid, it's never changed. It's fun to walk through even if you're not into owning fish
definitely the coolest aquatic store I've been to. I did find that they were overpriced on a lot of the supplies and some fish, but I was not disappointed!
By far the best fish store I have been too. Trista and Dan's costumer service and knowledge is top notch. I highly recommend this store.
I’ve been going to this fish store all my life. Best people. Best selection. Best fish store ever!
The staff here are all incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful. I have had both fresh and saltwater tanks and have been to many fish store but have never gotten quite the same level of service anywhere else as I have had here :) I would highly recommend A World of Fish to anyone, beginners to expert hobbyist they have something for everyone!
Being like a kid in a candy store. Love it. You have questions about anything fish, they got the answers. Great customer service.
Donated my fish as I’m leaving the hobby and didn’t want to buy a 75gallon tank. They were so helpful. Took my fish no problem. Even gave me store credit after i planned on just donating them. Definitely will be back when i decide to rejoin the hobby again!
Good deals on corals, knowledgeable and helpful staff.
One of my favorite fish stores in the twin cities! Huge selection of fish and the staff are very knowledgeable.
I'm writing this review after making three visits to the store over the course of about three years. They have a great, healthy selection of aquatic life. The prices are reasonable on some things, high on others - it depends on what you're looking for. The staff is very friendly, knowledgable, and not pushy at all about making a sale. It almost seems as though they are not concerned about how much you purchase, so long as you are content about partaking in the hobby and purchasing things that will work for your setup. A World of Fish has earned its place as one of just a few local stores that I will do business with for my aquarium needs/wants.
World of Fish is perfect. It's a funky older building, locally owned and run, stuffed with dozens of tanks and experts who really know their stuff. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, the inventory is overwhelming. They will test your water for free, and give you as much or as little advice as you need. This is a fun place to visit with kids as well.
Absolutely loved it. The owner amd staff were kind and funny. Great help picking out my fish! Will be doing the hour and half trip again for sure!!
Great owners and fish
So many species of fish to pick from and a good variety of aquatic plants. They have everything you could need to take care of a fish tank.
I enjoyed my experience there. Definitely going back again!
Small on the outside, bigger on the inside! Be prepared to walk into intense humid atmosphere. Have many fish that are hard to come by.
I love this place!!! Best place for fish and fish supplies!!! Been going there for 10 years.
A must place to visit if you want to see a beautiful arrangemarnt of fish !
I have dealt with 2 employees there. One man was condescending and gave me 100% incorrect info - his "guidance" was so incompetent and wrong that even I suspected he was talking out his a**., but I followed his advice since the folks there supposedly know their sh** He claimed that to cycle a new aquarium you need fish in it - I followed his advice, which resulted in dead fish..He fed me a line about having my water tested a few weeks later "for fish feces." When I asked how many fish I can put in a 10 gallon tank, he replied "you CAN put in as many as you want"- In that snotty, superior tone some people use to point out that you have used "can" where "may" is syntactically correct.. Then he turned so his back was towards me. That's a signal, as clear as they come. I found a woman working there, and she helped me - though she also led me wrong about cycling. Though they have a great selection of fish, I think I will look for another store, where employees can meet a minimum standard of politeness.
Great store for the aquarium hobbiest. They have very friendly knowledgeable staff that are more than willing to walk you through the whole process. Great place!
Hadn't been here for 20 years, glad they are still around. Went in to buy a plecostamus. Staff was friendly and knowledgable. Good place, would shop again.
Amazing store with knowledgeable, friendly employees with an unbeatable selection
Such a great selection of fish and plants, and the staff is so helpful.
This place is really nice! They've got so many different types of fish to pick from, from fresh water or salt water. They've got all the things you'd need to start your own aquarium, big or small! I didn't get to talk to the staff much but they seem friendly. The place can get busy and the parking lot could get full fast. It's fairly easy to notice from the street as well!
Awesome store with so many different varieties of fish! All the tanks look quite clean and well cared for. Will most definitely go back to purchase fish here.
I bought a goldfish here 6 days ago as a buddy for the one I have had for months, and now my tank is FULL of ich! Both fish are covered. Very disappointed and upset with the quality of product I received from this store. I even brought in a water sample at the time of purchase for my fish and was told my water was fine, so I know the ich did not come from my tank. Will not be shopping here again.
Amazing healthy fish and a huge selection! I highly recommend going if you want to buy fish or just take a look at fish it's like sea world but free!!!
It was absolutely amazing experience buying fish from A world of fish. They have very knowledgeable & helpful staff. Ask for Dan specially if you buying African Cichlids. He helped us with the best looking fishes for our new tank. Will definitely visit again and would recommend to my friends and family.
I found what I was looking for. Out of season and the perfect size. Good service for the time of day and people.
They have a beautiful store and a large variety of fish, aquatic plants, and accessories. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because I overheard an employee recommend a goldfish for a 5 gallon aquarium. They need at least a 20 gallon tank! This seems like basic info the employee should have known.
Great place with a vast assortment of fish to choose from dont let the outside fool you the inside is what counts! Their staff is extremely Friendly and helpful you wont be disappointed!
Fun place to take the kids on a snowy day!
This is a really great fish resource for the twin cities area. The people are knowledgeable and are eager to share their experience by answering questions. The only issue is if you call and are able to get someone to answer you may or may not be told an accurate answer. I had asked if they had something in stock since I was driving from a distance. I was told yes and even how much it was. When I got there it was not avaiable. I mentioned that I had called and was told it was available. The person assisting me said "Oh, you must have talked to ... so and so just answers yes to everything." This is unfortunate that they would tarnish an otherwise great establishment.
Looks little but they have a huge variety off fish. Sall water and fresh. They have living plants and reef species. Very knowledgeable staff. I'm looking into starting a salt water Auqarium and now I'm glad I got a insight of the cost and dedication. Will be returning to purchase soon. Thanks for the information guys
It's great that this place is still open. With all the online sales it's always nice to eye things before you buy them. I bought a clown trigger from them a few weeks ago and he is doing great. Just wanted to drop a line and tell the people that work at world of fish thanks for having a place we can go to for our hobbie.
Great selection, knowledgeable staff and many fish not available elsewhere
Beautiful, i could have spent all day looking around
Very knowledgeable staff. Willing to spend extra time helping customers who are seeking advice. The staff learn your name and make sure to say hi whenever you come in. I highly recommend this place for all your fish needs.
Got a parasite "Tetrahymena" after buying some of their live plants, we lost a lot of our fish and actually had to start over on our tank, that we had for over 20 years. Though the staff seem to be very educational about the fish and how to care for them, however when reaching out to the company for help/options, the "feedback email" on their website isn't valid and when calling-either no one answered the phone and I got a voicemail 12x or when I was able to get a hold of someone they recommended water testing and they said I should just put my fish in freezer to die. MY FISH ARE FAMILY! THAT'S WHY I CAME TO THIS EXPENSIVE STORE FOR THEM!
New to the cities and beginning to make the rounds of the aquatic stores. On my visit to aWoF I found a friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of fish, plants, and accessories. Also available, a surprisingly large selection of hardscape materials (rock, branches). Location itself is well organized, well maintained, and clean. Prices are quite fair. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Bought two fancy goldfish’s yesterday from this place. This morning when I turned on my tank light the goldfish’s was full of Ick. My tank was new and just have been cycled. I’ll not shop there again.
This is why im a fish addict!!
Massive selection reasonable prices knowledgeable staff. If your intp fish it's worth a drive
Best Local Fish Store in the Twin Cities
Awesome staff. Been a customer for 20 years
Well maintained, beautiful store. One of the store employees let me take some filtration media from one of their tanks for free to cycle mine.
Awesome local fish store. They have tons of freshwater fish, including rarer or less seen species. Also have a huge selection of saltwater. They only have one or 2 brackish tanks though, but there aren't too many brackish species in the hobby so not really a problem. One issue is that they are pretty expensive though. Their prices are about 2x as much as other places/online. I'd rate it 5 stars if not for their prices
Love the place. Customer service is awesome. Friendly greet.
Knowledgeable staff, fantastic fish! Cool place to walk through and see all kinds of awesome fresh and saltwater setups. Great place for everything fish.
Great store. Healthy fish. Great service!
5 stars!These guys are the nicest most caring and humble people they have so much patience and understanding that people who are just getting involved have lots to learn! I've never felt more comfortable asking them true-to-life questions even if I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what I'm doing they are gracious and polite and they explain everything very slowly at a beginner's level they even offered to take one of my fish back that I bought impulsively for a third of the price I mean you can't beat that kind of customer service I didn't even buy the fish from them and they still offered to help me I give this place 100 stars I will always shop at this place from here on out. Thank you
It was o.k. not many people helping customers, but plenty of them at the cash register chatting and not helping customers.
Great selection, reasonable prices, and helpful staff. We love Dan!
Huge variety, knowledgeable staff
Just like the name says...they are all about the fish. It can be difficult to find someone to help you at times but very helpful when you get them.
A very large selection of fish! The staff here is very helpful and will work with you to find what you're looking for. Unfortunately, the two swordtails that I purchased died within two weeks. Not quite sure because my other fish in the same tank are still very healthy.
The fish are so happy and the guy really knows what hes doing ♡
Such a great selection.
My husband enjoys coming here because if the variety of saltwater fish they have here and I enjoy feeding the kois. We also really like working with Dan. Dan is knowledgeable and also VERY helpful. Personally, I feel like some of the other staff members treat you like you're in their way.
Amazing store and fish! I swears its almost as cool as underwarer world, and free to check out the fresh and salt water tanks. Very knowledgeable staff. Dan is one awesome guy! I always go here for my fishies and food.
Its awesome that they have been open for all little over 40 years. Great staff and a huge array of fish, tanks, decorations and food. I'm a huge fish nerd and this place makes me extremely happy. You won't be disappointed.
Lots of variety of fish and plants to choose from. A man has been there for 20 years who l absolutely love with the greatest knowledge of anyone, always look for him when I walk in the store. Fish and plants are always extremely healthy. I can hardly wait to get home with my new Treasures!
Nice place, beautiful tanks! Look around before buying, don't get fooled by the looks of the place but rather focus on the Quality of the fish.
Amazing selection and the person who helped me answered all of my questions and was a great help!
pretty cool store in all but the staff experience was absolutely horrible. The guy that helped me you could totally tell didn't want to be there in which I wish he wasn't because it made my experience worse then should have been.
Great selection of fish. Staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. Tried 3 other shops and this has been the best one I’ve found. Definitely join their club membership, worth the $10 yearly fee.
These guys know their stuff and have the variety you're looking for. They have a variety of show tanks on display and the people who maintain them are actual employees that are happy to answer your questions. The prices are reasonable as are their policies, don't forget to get a punch card!
Great prices
I've only been here a few times, but already I can tell this is going to be my local fish store, the one I go to for everything. Beautiful, healthy fish, great customer service, this place has everything you need. It's very clean and it has a lot of character; wood shelves and flooring, Koi ponds, decorations. Can't recommend this place enough!
Amazing, super knowledgeable staff. Great local fish shop.
Very knowledgeable staff and greet selection of fish and supplies
Great place to get fish, very knowledgeable staff.
I love this place!!! I can't stop looking!!! So many fish/tanks!!! Its candy shop for me!!!
Nice selection but very crowded needs more space
If you want it, either they got it or know how to get one for you! Excellent and knowledgeable staff.
Very nice livestock and large selection.
Yummy! Are super knowledgeable and you can really tell they love their jobs! Every fish you could imagine WILL be there!
Best Fish in town. Bring your wallet.
Great customer service!
We have several tanks in our home from piranahs, Oscars puffers, you chichildsto crabs and snails lots and lots of snails! World of fish is by far our favorite aquatic storw;!!;
If you like fish in a tank get em here
A world of fish is my go to for quality animals, plants and advice. My family has been shopping here for a long time. :)
Great fish selection and outstanding plant selection. Their saltwater room made me wanna try a saltwater tank. The girl who helped me was very courteous and helpful. I'll be back.
It's amazing how the smallest aquarium supply store I've seen manages to also have the biggest selection of items I've seen. They seem to have everything.
Just bought a 55 gallon tank and got EVERYTHING I could possibly have needed and the guy that hooked it all up was Dan. We actually did the math at how much everything would have costed at other stores and we saved like.... $400. I'm blown away at the quality and affordable pricing everything was. Weve joined the club and we will ONLY ever come back here after saving hundreds of dollars. Thanks Dan for everything!!!
One of the best stocked aquatic stores that I've ever been to. The atmosphere is really great also
For years o thought it was a sea food restaurant, but was happy to get some needed supplies at good prices for my fish tank
The people working there are really knowledgeable and pleasant
I found a GIANT Frontosa for sale for $60! Amazing!
Amazing collection of fresh and saltwater fish. Beautiful displays.
Nice selection of fresh and saltwater fish & accessories. Fun to look around. Unfortunately, I didn't experience the same service many people mentioned in their reviews. I went in to buy one fish and I was in there for 15 minutes before anyone offered assistance. The guy that did offer to help couldn't answer my questions, but pointed to someone else who could. That someone else took another 20 minutes to free up. Maybe it was an off night, there were a fair amount of folks in there. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and try again...
The Beta fish in the little containers each have their own Oxygen tube! Wow!!! And Wonderful!!! We had So Much Fun just being there.
Get helpful and knowledgeable
Helpful staff! Great prices.
Awesome place and one of the oldest in twin cities. I've had great luck with fish and corals from them and their prices are competitive.
Great place to check out and buy aquatic fish. All accessories as well.
Of all the places that sell fish for pets. Hands Don for the world of fish. They most definitely have what you are looking for as a pet ffish Weather it is salt water to fresh water And anything for your pond.
Very good customer service. I had a great time there today and the guy that was helping me was doing a very good job at helping answers some questions that I had.
This is the place where I'd buy my fish, snails, & etc rather than a Petco or Wal-Mart. They know their stuff and won't sell you dead snails. They're very knowledgeable. It is, however, hard to get a hold of them by phone. But since I live close enough it's easy to just stop by.
The sales team is always help and the fish aleays seem well taken care of.
Love the selection, always helpful on finding a fish or letting you ok now when one will be available. Friendly staff. Parking could use an improvement. Overall very good place to get all your fish needs met. Always like coming here just to check out all the tanks and have a look around.
Very knowledgeable, friendly, fish and aquatic plant lovers. If it's a bit slower, they'll talk shop with you and fill your brain with information, otherwise, please be patient and they will get you what you need. I would recommend checking out their Facebook page, as they post about new livestock and plant shipments if you're looking for something specific. If you want to just come and browse and enjoy, they have such a wide and rare variety of fish, plants, invertebrates, and other aquarium related things. Can't recommend this place enough, they really care and want you to enjoy the hobby (read: lifestyle) as much as they do.
Fresh and salt water, they are a wealth of knowledge!
Great variety of fish!
Called ahead of time to ask about a certain type of guppy...was told yes indeed they had them. Drove over 2 hours and they didn't have the guppies I had specifically asked about and was told they had. Was even given a price quote. Was very disappointed.
Stop in today for the first time as I was given a gift card for birthday that I was excited to use. Ask a female employee for some help getting a recommendation on what fish to put in my home aquarium. Was told "I don't have the time or energy to to show you around the store or give you advice on our fish". If you want good customer service this is not the place to go.
Pretty decor, Lots of Fish and Coral!!
Large variety, and knowledgeable staff. The tanks seem well taken care of. I've come here over 38yrs.
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great selection of fish and accessories for the hobby.
Great staff just wish they woupd up date there systems cause i lost 25 bucks in credit cause there system is 2 old
Nice place
If you are looking for a good selection to add to your home I would check out this place. Very clean, well taken care of fish. The staff is very knowledgeable in all areas. They have many different pieces of literature for you to pick up and check out. Quality with an affordable price
A plus aquatic center. Very superior fish selection as well as helpful and friendly staff. I love going to this store. I pass 3 large pet stores to visit this fantastic aquatic specialist store.
Dana is very rude and avoiding me
A little spend but well worth the knowledge and expertise in all things of a fish nature.
Great staff. Great selection. This is a destination store well worth a visit!
Great place and highly recommend!
Very healthy fish and tons of them to choose from! There was always a willing knowledgeable staff member waiting to ask all our questions even if they were busy. They seemed to put the care of the fish first, meaning at times they have to tend to them while talking with a customer. Being a crazy animal lover this made me feel like they have it together and know where their priorities are and that's with providing intelligent professional service while making sure the creatures are healthy and treated with upmost care and respect. They have a club rewards program that's only $10.00 a year! Lots of great perks and discounts with that. They sell every kind of aquatic life including salt water species.
Awesome variety!
The fish here are very high quality. I would not buy fish anywhere else locally. Also there is a large selection of other aquarium equipment and accessories. The only reason I can't give A World of Fish 5 stars is because the majority of their equipment and accessories are over-priced compared to online and other local competitors.
The worker gave me my siphon strap for free because he noticed I was waiting in line carrying something heavy for awhile. I was fine, but he did it anyways! The older man remembered me which I thought was kind. One of the better fish stores in the cities. I also think they stop selling all the fish in a tank if they notice they’re sick with something which I haven’t seen at the other stores!
Great selection of fish, very friendly employees that know a lot about fish and are very helpful in giving information about different kinds of fish and what is best for your tank.
Great place , great selection of fish. Dan always fun to talk to and very knowledgeable
Fun place to take the kids. Don't forget to feed the Koi
Very nice place and wonderful staff. I only wish it was better lit to see the products on shelves. Fish tanks are well kept.
Huge variety of fish and plants. The staff are also very helpful.
Nice looking healthy fish, very pretty corals, very VERY tight aisles. We were there for ten minutes it was fairly busy not a single employee even waved at us and they never said hi. There are other fish stores with more fish but the selection was not small. Several tanks of fish that are not for sale.
Best selection of fresh and saltwater aquarium supplies in the Twin Cities. Most of the workers are aquarium nerds. Very helpful, and nice staff. Coral and decorative supplies are plentiful. They also have a large water treatment product selection.
Don't miss out on your 10G set up's for $250.00, what a joke! A World Of Fish should be ashamed, what a ridiculous price for that "set up" I suggest new hobbyists stay clear looks as if they are taking advantage of people that don't know any better. $1 per gallon sales $10 for the tank, dinky LED light $5 a hob filter $20, glass lids $10 all in all $45.00!
I just picked up some coral frags and they are infested with parasites. 3 frags and 5 to 6 visible parasites running around the bag. I won’t make another purchase. The tanks are in a horrible state and the whole place smelled of barnyard animal poo. The staff is friendly that why is got 2 stars
Amazing experience at World of Fish! Awesome customer service, and was able to pick from a huge selection of their hand-picked bettas. Would definitely recommend checking them out!
Good place with a great selection!
Great selection of livestock for both salt water and fresh water aquariums. Wide variety of dry goods and aquascaping materials as well. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. All around a great store for all your aquarium needs
Well informed staff
Absoulty amazing place with very smart employees!
Need a fish in your life? One stop here will get you hooked (pun) up. But seriously, its like the ocean in here. Very knowledgeable staff and no fishy smell.
Nice store, clean tanks, helpful staff. Limited saltwater.
Best fish store in the state. . .in my opinion. . Extremely knowledgable. . .
Awesome selection and very knowledgeable staff
What a great place! Nice and friendly staff, very knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoy visiting everytime! Great selection of rare and common species you will be sure to find your next cool pet!
I’ve been here several times for my fish. Dan has always been super helpful in answering my many questions and shown great knowledge about all the fish and items in the store. Prices are a little higher than some other fish stores around but you can’t beat the quality or knowledge that the staff has about the fish.
Being going here since I was a toddler. Best water best fish no ich no gimmicks. Betta selection is breathtaking.
