Pet Connection

I just set up my fish tank at my new place and was looking for a new pet shop to check out. Ya know, get a few fish to pop the cycling of my tank water.

When I rolled up to this place I was thinking this place is gonna suck. Tiny store front in the corner of a strip mall. Not much to look at from the outside.

Well let me tell you, this place has one of the best selection of fresh water fish/plants I have seen in a long time! Oh, and they have salt water too. But I don’t have my 75 gallon bow-front salt water tank anymore sadly.

I won’t bore you with a detailed description of each and every fish, in each and every tank. Nor which fish I selected. I’ll just let a few pics I took give you a teaser of what to expect when you check it out. Which u should.

Oh, and the moral of the story here is don’t judge a book by its cover. The store front of a Pet Smart is real huge and fancy. But most only have like 20 fish tanks with some that are empty….

I recently got back into aquariums/fish keeping and have honestly gone to every single shop in metro detroit, and while there are other very nice places, Pet Connection is definitely the best, they have the best selection of healthy fish at the best prices I have seen and they also have the most hardscape in stock along with a large selection of live plants. It's just a really nice place .

This fish specialty store came highly recommended to us. After suffering the loss of fish from a box store, a friend recommended This place to us. I am surprised by the previous reviewer complaining about their prices as I found them to be comparable to other places. Shop local and shop with the experts is much better and prices pretty much on par. I really like that each tank is separate from the neighboring tank. When I went to look at their fish, I found that 98% of their freshwater fish to be very lively and energetic! The advice and instruction, customer service is superb! I found my new fish resource! Thank you!

I drove an hour and a half to get some piranhas from them. I got there at 7:56pm and they still let me in and helped me find what I needed. I didn’t feel rushed and was able to skip for what I wanted. They are very knowledgeable and they have good prices on everything.

Pet Connection is, hands down, the best place to get into aquariums in the State of Michigan. The prices are great and the selection is superb, but what stands out the most is the culture that Jim and his crew have built over the years.

Pet Connection is where a family can get into a hobby and then see their interests nurtured by a store whose staff actually cares.

Spend your money here. Everyone wins.

This is my favorite fish store in the area, where you can buy fresh and saltwater fish. The tanks always look pristine with healthy looking fish and a decent variety to choose from. The staff have been friendly and attentive the multiple times I’ve been in. I live close, but even if not, I’d go out of my way for the stop.

Picture is live rock I purchased from there and my photogenic hawkfish swooping in to be included!

Beautiful, clean little shop with healthy livestock and attentive people working there. It was a joy to see so much variety of both fresh and salt water pets and supplies!

Wonderful selection of fish and aquarium accessories! Best we've seen in the area out of several stores.

Awesome fish store, better prices than the box stores and a jaw dropping array of corals. Absolutely loved it.

Great selection of fish thelady who helped me today was very helpful and knowledgeable about the fish . She was very friendly and patient as I decided on which fish I wanted

Nice little store had decent stuff and good quality selection saltwater looked beautiful! Was surprised and well satisfied with what I saw in this little shop.

One of my favorite places to go. They usually have something new that I didn't see the previous visit. Keeps me coming back . They also really know what they are talking about .

Helpful and knowledgeable staff, friendly and answer your questions and instruct you to succeed in your hobby, prices are on the upper end of the range, maybe they are lifelong to the same expensive suppliers, can’t hold against there performance. The place to fall In love with.

Wonderful selection of freshwater and saltwater fish. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

This is an aquarium shop fully stocked with everything from chemical needs to more driftwood than you can find on the beach. They do both salt and freshwater, and I've never had a bad fish from them. I've sold some bred apistogramma to them at a fair enough price to upgrade to a higher quality tank. I do like their customer service: greetings upon entry are followed by a few minutes to browse, after which they follow up without making you felt chased down.

My daughter and I frequent Pet Connection on a regular basis. She loves that the store is well stocked and always has a great variety. We have been able to add fish right into our aquarium without quarantine and without issue. We were able to get Ranchu goldfish here and no one else (that we are aware of) have them. They are thriving and healthy. The store can be quite busy in the evening hours and the staff are often very busy; you must be patient. Ava is always very helpful to us.

Friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Clean, organized, and labelled (everything) good/reasonable prices. Fresh and salt water fish. Great variety! Had what I have been looking for, for months! Fish are healthy, and tanks are greatly taken care of. Would highly recommend for any fish lover (beginning or a hobbyist)

Haven't been here since I was a child until recently. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the same owner owns the store. There was a male employee with glasses (dont remember his name) who helped a ton with plant and fish care questions. I'll gladly spend more money here.

Been around for a long time and that's because they are awesome! Great fish selection and always helpful. I've had several saltwater setups over the last 25 years and they've always been there to help.

Great store has almost everything thing you need to be successful at starting and keeping a fresh & Saltwater aquariums including knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend this store! If you decide to go there, ask for Ken
