Blue Ribbon Koi & Marine

I just recently started a saltwater tank and was glad to find this nearby shop that was only 10min away. Amazing selection of products and specimens, all reasonably priced too. Sondra was always helpful and courteous, since I'm brand new at this, I really appreciate her patience and guidance. I only wish they open for longer hours as most days when I get off at 6, they're already closed. Hey how about adjusting your hours to 11am to 7pm?

The team at Blue Ribbon Koi is very Knowledgeable. I went their after being referred by three reefers. They have loads of coral and saltwater fish available. They also have the supplies i need to keep my reef healthy. Super thankful for these guys. They also have an unbelievable stock of Koi, perhaps one of the best I have seen. I was also impressed by their processes for stocking their aquariums, i have been plagued with poor quality fish and coral stock prior to finding Blue Ribbon Koi. They make reefing easier and more fun. If you are keeping a reef or interested in Koi ponds. You need to stop in.nn*Oh, they also have RODI water available.

Blue Robbon Koi is the best for any Koi or pond needs. They clean our pond every Spring and do a great job. The are reasonably priced and won't try to upsell you. I've spent a lot of time just talking to then about fish or pond issues and they a happy to help and offer advice. I highly recommend them!

This is, hands down, the best fish store I've ever been to.nnBeing new to saltwater aquariums, I often come in with an overwhelming amount of questions (that I know are super amateur to them). They have always been willing to hear me out and have always steered me in the right direction. They have always made me feel welcome and comfortable. There is a better chance they send me out of there with nothing (bc my tank isn't ready for certain things yet) then there is for them to try to sell me something that won't work in my little ecosystem I have going my. Even though it's really hard to leave Blue Ribbon empty handed, I respect that a lot.nnIf you're looking for a the best saltwater fish store in NOVA, look no further. From the impressive selection of animals and supplies, to the most professional and friendly staff, do yourself a favor and check this place out!nnI also have a comment for the previous 1 ud83cudf1f review.... People are allowed to sell things in their stores for as much as they want to. You don't have to buy it! Those reading this, I've been to the store about 10 times in the last month, and have had nothing but great experiences. Please dont let that guy steer you away from Blue Ribbon. Just because he didn't agree with the price of a fish, doesn't make this a bad place, by any means. Please factor this in when considering his review.

The old guy was very pleasant but his son was unprofessional and crass. The one fish I was looking at he told the old guy that he wouldn't sell unless I pay $600.00 without even having the decency to address me with a polite hello. I will take my money elsewhere...
