:D Just thought I would let everyone know about this little gem. I came across this place based on a recommendation from a friend. They are an all in one landscaping pond, fresh/salt water fish, and supply company. They have almost every piece of equipment for freshwater, saltwater, and ponds you could ever think of owning. They have staff that absolutely love fish, and most have several tanks of their own. The staff are very knowledgable and are very helpful with any questions that you may have. Every fish they recieve are put into quarantine for a minimum of two weeks to ensure the fish are healthy and eating when you bring them home. The warranty is a bit less than what most offer (3 days). However, you can apply for their VIP membership, which is free, and it extends the salt water to 7 days and the freshwater to 14 days, as well as affords you many benefits, steep discounts and member only sales.

:D They carry all sorts of fish, as well as rare cichlids and saltwater fish. The prices are a bit higher than your normal stores, but like me, I'm sure most of you are willing to pay an extra dollar for high quality, healthy fish.

:D If you are ever in SE Tennessee and have the opportunity to stop by this amazing store, please do, you won't regret it!

Review: Out of all the pet stores I have ever visited, this is by far the best.

They deal primarily with fresh and saltwater fish, so the staff are very well trained. They have an unbelievable stock of saltwater fish, as well as corals and live rock. The fish are all very colorful and healthy, no dead fish, and no disease. They have a large variety of cichlids, especially harder to find ones like the lamprologus species. They also carry oddballs, such as the lungfish.

Every fish that I have bought from their store has been extremely healthy and adjusted to my aquarium very quickly. The staff is extremely knowlegable. Although I have caught them a few times with incorrect information, they are quick to listen when you give them advice. Such as the inch per gallon rule. Other than that, they are all more than willing to help the experts as well as newcomers to the hobby. They have a wide selection of aquarium kits, as well as an enormous showroom full of supplies, ranging from countless varieties of food, prepackaged, frozen and freezedried. They will also special order fish for you, however when they get them, they require that you let them quarantine the fish so they can guarantee that you are getting a healthy fish.

Although they are a bit on the pricey side, I am more than willing to pay a little more to get a MUCH healthier fish and top quality aquarium supplies and food. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking to get into the hobby or looking for high quality fish to go in their aquariums. This store gets 10/10!!!
