Jeff hooked us up! 6 months after we first visited Finatics our tank is going strong and healthy and the owner set us up for success. Learned a lot and I'm enjoying my aquarium. You can get anything you could possibly need for your own home tank, plus a good selection of fish and other aquatic life on sale as well. Won't go anywhere else in town for my home aquarium needs.

Stumbled across this store and I absolutely love them. They take the time to answer any questions and if the folks that are working aren’t sure they will contact the store owner. All 7 of my fish are striving.

It is nice to walk in and look at fish and not see any dead or sick looking fish. They all look very healthy. Owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.

Walked in this store 4 years ago looking to buy fish 🐠 for my 2 tanks Jeff was so helpful with explaining how to take care of my fantail Gold Fish.. They're still alive. Thank you Jeff and staff. 🙂🙂

The current owner, Jeff, is wonderfully kind and knowledgeable. It’s a great spot for good healthy fish and supplies. My partner and I frequent this shop for the healthy fish, reasonable priced supplies, to watch the fish swim, and for the wonderful service.

Got my white, blue-eyed lion head lop from here and he is absolutely precious. You can tell Jeff and his mom really care about the bunnies and have raised them so well. Very knowledgeable family! Might need a second bunny haha

Jeff is my local fish expert! His knowledge in the area is unmatched. I share his advice in Facebook Groups and with other fish enthusiasts. I trust him with all my fish care needs.

We just purchased 6 fish for our pond and we had an awesome experience! Jeff was so helpful with all of our questions and he had great recommendations. It’s so great to have a family-owned pet store so close to us. We can’t wait to come back for our pond needs.

We love this fish store. Jeff and his mom are both very friendly, and eager to help. Jeff answered all of our questions and concerns with confidence and patience. He's full of information on each individual fish. The tanks were well kept, the fish much larger and healthier than other fish stores. The rabbits cages were well kept and they all looked healthy. His mother even let my kids hold a rabbit although we were there for fish. He gave us unsolicited information and gave us hints on how to save money on fish keeping although his business didn't profit from that information. Very personable, patient staff. We came from over an hour away, and this is the best store within a 2 hour radius of us to get fish. He asks questions and has sincere concern for the fish. If you have a new aquarium, or are trying to jumpstart your aquarium without researching them, or without much concern for the actual wellbeing of your fish, you may take all of his information and questions as insulting, but he has sincere love for these fish, and if you're not going to do it right, I wouldn't want to sell you my fish either. So to the lady below me complaining of him asking too many questions, I doubt your fish are still alive. And to the people saying the store is dirty, and the animals aren't cared for, your likely just bots that the big box stores send out to post bad reviews and hurt the little guys. If not, then you're delusional. Oh. P.s. his prices are very fair, and he is the only one around who medicated his fish before selling.

Best aquarium and small animal store in the area! The owner (Jeff) is very passionate about the welfare of the animals, and the I have bought from him over the years are still very healthy and happy. He puts the utmost care into the animals he sells.

Always very friendly and knowledgeable, purchased both our bunnies from them and always go back for the bags or big box of hay.

A great place to get aquarium residents and supplies. Knowledgeable, friendly staff, very good selection. Tanks are well cared for and clean. Dress light, they do keep the place rather warm - right for the fish, not necessarily the people.

Stopped in today to get some fish and check the place out. Took some time to check the bunnies out being I raised show bunnies for years. Beautiful healthy animals. Well cared for and we'll socialized. They care about the animals and want to make sure they go home with what they need. The fish were beautiful and healthy. The fact that they care enough to quarantine new fish says a lot. We will be going back

Great store! Friendly staff, knowledgeable, clean, and nice selection of small animals and fish. Upon arriving at the store I knew what I intended to adopt as I decided on a small pet, but needed help getting the set up supplies. Both ladies helped me get everything I needed. Shout out to the one lady I think was the owner, she was great. I ended up adopting my pair of gerbils from them. I will continue to shop here for supplies. Thanks Finatics !

The Cichlid assortment and variety are the best around here. Although a bit pricey but I feel you pay for quality and healthy animals, And I would rather buy from someone local. Plus the owner is very friendly and knowledgeable.

I adopted my third bunny from here and it was the best experience I’ve had adopting. Everyone was very kind, and informative and definitely wanted the best for their bunnies. They also made sure I was getting the perfect match, I looked at a few, but I am very very happy with my choice. He mentioned he breeds for personality over looks, and that shows quite a bit. My baby, Calvin is doing really well, just over and hour after bringing him home, he was doing binky’s, zoomies, grooming, eating and drinking and we haven’t had an accident yet, he’s very well liter trained. Calvin is so sweet, and friendly, and happy and docile. I’m extremely happy with my experience here and even happier with the boy I brought home.

Jeff sells high quality fish, products, and advice. Most of the fish and plants in my aquarium are from this store, and they are all very healthy and beautiful. Great place to go if you’re starting a new tank! You’ll get the knowhow you need to do it right, so you can really enjoy the hobby!

Jeff is extremely knowledgeable about fish and kindly spent well over an hour on two separate occasions answering all of my questions about becoming a first-time pet owner. The store has become much friendlier since it opened and they no longer sell reptiles or birds (I’m a believer these animals should only be sold in speciality stores) which has freed up a lot of space. I do wish they wouldn’t sell tanks less than 3 gallons for betta, but sadly it’s difficult to change cultural preferences. Unlike big box stores, Finatics treats all of their plants and fish, hence the higher prices. I’ve seen betta go for $8 at PetCo, up to $60 online, so the store’s prices ($15 to $45) isn’t that far out of the normal range. Other aquarium merchandise is not *too* much higher than other places and I’d rather support a local, family-owner business. I can understand why some people are upset waiting for service, but Jeff and his employees are often in the back unpacking supplies and treating fish. It would help if they had a “bell” of some sort, but I just sort of knock by the back area if I need help. Headed over to buy a second snail today.

After meeting Jeff at Finatics my whole outlook on being a fishkeeper has changed. Previously I was unsuccessful as a pure beginner and given not so great advice. Jeff really gave me the correct guidance and attention to have a stellar fish tank. He is extremely patient and answered all of my questions. Today I purchased fish from Jeff for the first time after preparing my tank based on his intructions. I am very happy with the outcome and look forward to making Finatics my go-to spot for all fishkeeping needs. Once again. Thank you. Robert
