They told me many things about fish that I have looked up since, most of which seem to be flat out lies, specifically about cardinal tetras. I had a good school of tetras going, and bought 5 from them, 3 of which died. A month later I bought another 10 more from them, all of which died over a 2 week period. I was not my tank, as I have Cardinals in there already. I was very careful adding them to my tank, adding 5 gallons to the water they were in over an hour before letting them loose. Also, a Dwarf Baby Tears pot added a type of algae that covered my other plants in a few days. I thought the algae was roots when I got the plant. |

I am not a fan of this store. No on there knows what they're talking about (of course) and their tanks are way too tiny to have a couple of the same fish there for over a year. No cool display tanks or anything exotic or rare... Waste of time in my opinion. |

| went there tonight to pick up another stiphodon, I wanted a particular one, he trapped 2 before he got the one I wanted . . just sayin'
I didn't typically want a specific fish but when it's over $10 I feel the right to ask and it's nice to not get push back.
breach of thread protocol but hey |

As you can see this is a middle of the road store. You get what you pay for and no more. |

| This is the only store that I have found that carries endlers live-bearers. I've purchased a few fish and all my plants from The Fish Store. They are a bit pricier than some lfs, but understandable considering. They have a lot of people who just browse, so you have to go to the counter to get help, never had a problem getting someone to assist me or answering my questions. Overall I like the store and will give them my business in the future.

| I like this store. You have to ask for help but have always been treated well after asking for help. I went there when the kids and I made tabletop shrimp support modules (Google that term if you don't know it). They were super helpful and informative. |

Great looking fish! Was in here for over 20 mins; did not see 1 dead fish. Large variety of community fish, cichlids were a bit lacking, HOWEVER they did carry cichlids not widely found in other stores. Prices a bit high, but they guarantee their fish for 15 days (unusual for a LFS? I like it!!). Would go back, but would probably need to bring more money than expected; your buying quality here.

Same scores as last time. After going to the Jackson St. shops, I now say this is probably the best shop in Seattle. They have the best variety and selection out of the shops. I hear the clerks are a-holes, haven't experienced that yet. Picked up another livingstonii (hap), eyebitter (hap), and got a gold/brown calvus (tang). |

Very low selection on desired african cichlids. Walked out empty handed. |

| This is the best fish shop in Seattle IMO. They get a lot of poor revues and i don't get it? Very knowledgeable staff. Great selection for me, though I'm not into cichlids. I live in bellingham and I buy my tanks from them. They pump a lot of fish through this shop i of course there will be pathogens present, like any shop. |

| overall experience 5 cost 4 quality 5 variety 5 service 4 I like them because they buy apistos and plants. good variety of plants and say they buy 75% of them from customers. Refered there by gsas to sell my plants. Every shop gets some sick fish. I like they are first to tell you if tank is sick...what do you think happens when you import fish in large numbers? |
