Rift Lake Aquatics

Always very informative, great pricing, good selection. Great looking peacock cichlids. I've won two banner contests with one of his neolamprologus pulcher. All around a great experience every time I go there.

Very knowledgeable owner with everything you could want for a fish tank salt or fresh... Amazing prices on both food And supplies.. will definitely go back.

Jim is amazing and I will definitely be going to him for all of my aquarium supplies from now on!!! Thanks Jim!

This place is awesome! The owner is very kind and extremely helpful. He has no problem answering questions from newbie aquarium enthusiasts such as myself. His prices are absolutely fantastic. I've gotten most of my fish and froggy supplies from him, for a fraction of what I would pay at other stores! He is very honest, and he doesn't try to sell you anything that you don't need, which I appreciate a ton.
If you need fish supplies or advice, do not hesitate to go here. I promise you won't regret it!

The owner Jim is very nice. He helped a lot for finding what I need for my tank. Didn't hard sale anything. Prices are competitive. I had a very enjoyable and relaxing shopping experience. Will definitely shop again in the future.

Jim is awesome and very knowledgeable. He has the best interest of the fish, and will take the time to explain their behaviors and compatability. He always has a great selection of cichlids with competitive pricing. Also, he has a great selection of supplies and good quality foods.

Great place to buy fish! Jim is always great to work with and very knowledgeable. Many fish stores will just try and sell fish but Jim makes sure you leave with the right ones. He has the best prices around and always have beautiful fish in stock! The store is smaller but he has everything you need!

Jim is one hell of a guy. His supplier raised the price on the 7.5 gallon nano cube I bought but he sold it to me at the price I was told over the phone instead of upping the price on me when I showed up to buy. His prices are already the best in town but his honesty speaks more. I’m going to be a long time customer.

Always friendly, great service, very knowledgeable. Honestly he is a real good fish person that knows his stuff. I would recommend him to any one just beginning or in the hobby for years. Always healthy fish and great deals.

Jim

Has great prices and has a good selection of supplies, medication, and food. If he does not have something available he will order it for you.
Very knowledgeable! Enjoy shopping at his store. I would recommend it.

The owner is very friendly! He offers tons of foods, supplies & meds at good, fair prices! The fish room is smaller than some but the fish in there are healthy, happy, active... a good sale size & even some big boys for the the prepared fresh water enthusiast. I highly recommend!

Jim was a big help. Gave honest answers and helped me get what I needed. Great friendly service that went above and beyond expectations. I will definitely be shopping here again. Also for fish he mainly deals with cichlids and plecos but had lots of different fish foods and all different size containers of it. Great store.

Small and a little cluttered but a good selection of supplies. Fish selection honestly underwhelmed me and is as the name suggest just African cichlids. Didn’t see anything that got me excited but I honestly was just checking the place out and didn’t need anything. The owner was beyond nice and very cool to talk with. I’d trust him and feel good giving him my money. Prices are extremely fair so check them out before going online. Bought a eheim heater for maybe a buck more then amazon. Told me about his excellent deals on frozen food so they will be my go to spot for frozen.

Jim is extremely knowledgeable, and helpful. Always has great looking fish! Great hidden little gem, and I'm glad I found him! If you want some great looking cichlids rift lake aquatics is where it's at!!

Rift is just one of many of favorites , I Love this place , Very Small but to the point , Jim the the owner is very nice and accommodating guy, what he doesn't have he will get and his prices are very reasonable, almost half of what it cost down the street and in the commercial pet stores. Like I said the place is small and to be expected, cluttered , however if you can't find what you need at a good price you better get your eyes checked. He's got a great selection of cichlids in back, so far I've purchased around 8 fish from Jim with no problems they're healthy and they look great. He even fills your bags with oxygen for a long ride home. Rift Lake gets a 👍🏻thumbs up from me. Definitely give this place a try, Look around, more and more things just keep popping out at you.

Stopped in today to check out some plecos. Jim was extremely nice and very helpful. He's a wealth of knowledge when it come to freshwater fish and supplies. He helped me select a gold nugget pleco, and even cut me a good deal. I'll definitely be back for some cichlids once I get a bigger tank!

Jim the owner has the best prices around. He has a good selection of dry goods and can special order in items not in stock. If you belong to NEOfish you can get a 10%-15% addition discount off of his already low prices. He also has live fish many different varieties including some hard to find L number Plecos.

Jim was very helpful and friendly, good selection of cichlids and fish keeping supplies. Will definitely be back. I bought quite a few fish and all are very healthy and doing great.

Jim at Rift Lake Aquatics is absolutely one of the best in business. If you are in Northeast Ohio you need to check this place out! Beautiful African cichlids, etc. A+ in my book. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and really wants to help you any way he can!

This is seriously the best fish store in the area! I love going here to buy fish. They have amazing prices!! Well kept fish and they are all beautiful. Jim is so helpful and kind. Go here if you want the best quality fish for the best price!!!
