Fantastic shop to get the best aquatic creatures that your heart desires :) Incredible array of fish, invertebrates, supplies, equipment, and fish food. All of the fish are taken care of properly; clean water, adequate tank parameters, and they’re healthy-looking :) Fantastic prices. I’d love to see more types of snails… 😄 I get my apple snails from here, and got a rabbit snail from Aquarists across Canada in Victoria.
I notice that a lot of customers ignore the sign that asks only two customers to be present at a time.The reason that rule is in place is because he seems to be the only worker. It prevents crowding, theft, and ensures safe conditions.
It would be nice if customers would try and obey this by practicing patience. This store and service is worth the wait.:)
Great deals on multiples of schooling fish, nice selection. Store hours could be better.
This store is a gem. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care of his fish supply. I have purchased several fish from him and they are awesomely healthy. It's wonderful place to go. Highly recommend!
I visited the store this week to purchase some fresh water shrimp and ended up walking out with a used 10 gallon tank for a great deal. Owner was there to answer all my questions, and I felt much more welcomed than in the big box store in town. Thanks!
Agustin is an absolute treasure. You just can't beat the charm of a knowledgeable LFS; I'm so glad that this shop exists! The best part about My Fish Tank is that every creature in the store is under the direct care of an individual who genuinely loves the hobby, industry and every component involved. Do things cost a bit more there? Yes. Is it worth it? 10000%. I will happily pay a bit more for things from someone who puts the health of their fish first over chain store profits and you can tell just by spending 5 minutes with Agustin that he truly cares. The owner is a wealth of information and so kind. He has chatted with me at length about all things aquatic, and really is just such a sweetheart. You know the shop is good when people will literally line up outside, through the winter, on a Saturday to wait their turn to go in. I promise you that the shop is worth the wait :)
