The Fish Store

Just had a great experience with this place. They are very accomodating, communicative, and seem to take good care of the creatures and plants in their care. They also were very knowledgeable.nnI was looking for an odd sized tank that I wasn't able to find in Bellingham. I called down to Seattle to this store. Initially Dan thought he could get the tank for me, but the distributor that was supposed to have it didn't and didn't know when they would get it back in.nnSo I called around and found the tank at another store. After having done this, Dan called me back to let me know that he just found out from another of his distributors could get the tank for me. I called back to let him know that they'd be my back up. All of our interactions took place over several left messages on either side and Dan and the staff did a great job of communicating with me and each other.nnAnd when I did come down to Seattle get my refund from them, I got to look around at the store and could tell that they were taking good care of their fish and seemed to have solid knowledge on what they were doing.nnI got some plants and snails for the turtle I'm looking after. They're going to be great in her new tank!

I received a 5 gallon fresh water tank gift recently. The Fish Store is my first fish hobby experience, because I needed to have fish, snails, plants and nutrients and advice. Not knowing anything about my new hobby, I found the person who greeted, listened to, and helped me to very pleasant and knowledgeable. The Fish Store made it easy to get started with everything I need for a 5 gallon tank for well under $100. Its so exciting to begin a new hobby, and I thank fish store for the great first experience.

I've been coming here for the past few months and have always had a great experience. The staff here are friendly, relaxed and super helpful. You'll find experts in fish keeping here, unlike many pet stores. I never feel pressured or rushed to buy something on the spot, which I feel like other stores tend to do. Their fish are always healthy, and plants are well kept. Also, they have a great selection and reasonable prices for the most part. Certain items feel a bit pricey compared to other stores, but they make up for it by sometimes having sales on specific fish or shrimp. The Fish Store is probably my favorite store in town.

My husband went in and purchased an air pump. He returned home and it was not strong enough for what he was using it for. The staff went out of their way to make sure we got a larger one and paid the difference. They were helpful and even did a test run to make sure it would give the amount of air that was needed. They have a huge variety of salt water fish, live corals and rocks. Customer service was outstanding and everyone that walks through the door is greeted. Way to go!!!

Good for cheap prices but very dirty feeling. Nice location to get a gyro near by. Reasonable prices
