I'll never go here again! by Mike G via Insider Pages on 7/28/2011
I've been going there for about 5 years. The customer service had always sucked, however when one day when I went to buy an already expensive saltwater fish I noticed this fish was much more expensive than at other places! I asked why they…
Been there/done that by debbi p via Insider Pages on 11/2/2010
I haven't bought fish from this store for a couple years. When I first shopped there, I was continually getting ick and a multitude of other diseases. My water was fine so that wasn't the issue. I must of lost over 30+ fish there all…
Disgusting, Diseased and Discourteous by Louley W via Insider Pages on 2/17/2010
I've been coming to The Fish Store since I was a little kid in the '80s, and oh, how I wish I could travel back in time to those days. While I am by NO means an expert aquarist, I would hope that a specialty shop like this would know a…

Recently concerned with Fish Store by K K via Insider Pages on 1/3/2010
I have had a mixed experience with the Fish Store. The staff has been extraordinarily helpful, particularly as I was setting up my aquarium last spring. Initially, I had very good luck with the fish, but over the last several months I…
Totally Impressed by angela g via Insider Pages on 8/17/2009
I loved this store. I think the employees are super knowledgeable and I felt they answered my questions with insightful answers. They explained to me the benefits of a "mom and pop" kind of store over a big chain pets place, and I honestly…
Overhyped by Bree M via Insider Pages on 1/24/2009
I recently went the The Fish Store based solely on reviews here and was incredibly disappointed. The store was cluttered and dusty, the tanks were dirty and unkempt. It was obvious that the fish were simply items to be sold and make money.…
Expensive but you get what you pay for by greekseattle via Citysearch on 10/22/2008
Great Selection. The most educated staff by far. The rude guy doesn't work there anymore and when he did he taught me a good lesson on learn before you buy. He just lacked some comunication skills. Acrylic tank prices the best you will…
Don't Like the Place by Mark H via Insider Pages on 6/20/2008
The staff are fresh. The fish don't live any longer than the ones from PETCO and PETSMART and cost twice as much. They give you the third degree if you come in for a return.
Take the good with the bad by Kim H via Insider Pages on 5/15/2008
This is the fish store my father went to when he was going to the UW. They must be doing something right. Over the years I have seen the tanks go from great to bad and back again. But they do have the best selection around. Their…
Best fish store in town by smallalien via Citysearch on 3/11/2008
Great selection of fish and a very knowledgable staff. This is a great store. I stop in there whenever I can and always feel welcome. When I need help, it's there.
BAD BUSINESS by janeen s via Insider Pages on 2/16/2008
I purchased 2 rams from this store in Jan 08, they died 1 wk to the day. I tested my water and everything was good, so I knew that it wasn't anything I did. I called and explained to them what had happened and they told me that they would…
Disease and lack of customer service! by Pip d via Insider Pages on 12/12/2007
At first, I thought this was a good store despite the condescending manner in which many of the staff treat you. Seemed to be great quality fish. Wrong. First mistake, when asking what chemicals I needed to test for, they sell me 2 useless…
Staff is knowledgeable and trustworthy by B R via Insider Pages on 10/6/2007
This is the best fish-specialty store in Seattle. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they genuinely care about fish. The staff is excellent and I have never had a problem. I used to chase a lower price at the big places like Petco,…
Great fish, evrything you could ever want and a knowledge bank of staff by sallyw1 via Citysearch on 6/3/2007
I keep hearing what jerks the employees are. I have never found that to be true. On my first visit I was treated politely and set up with everything I could possibly need to raise my new brood of fish. The man who waited on me was vastly…
Way Overpriced on Fish Supplies! Unique and beautiful fish selection. Dead Bettas. Disinterested college-slacker employees. by fyankevich via Citysearch on 5/25/2007
I was amazed with the incredible variety of aquarium fish that The Fish Store had to offer! They had a wide variety of gorgeous, exotic fish.\r
I went there on a Saturday afternoon and the store was crowded. There was a well-informed owner…
The best experience with Jim by shain w via Insider Pages on 4/15/2007
I was reading a review here about Jim and I have to say that I disagree strongly. Yes, I have had somewhat questionable customer service here a few times but about a week ago I decided to start my first saltwater tank and went to The Fish…
Why The Fish Store Is My LFS (Local Fish Store) by Margaret C via Insider Pages on 3/9/2007
To get the most out of The Fish Store, do a little homework before you go. I highly recommend The Simple Guide to Freshwater Aquariums -- it is superb, and at the end you can see a huge variety of suggested stocking schemes. (Think that…
A great resource by John s via Insider Pages on 2/22/2007
I have found that the staff are very helpful, even to me, a first time fish keeper who had to be walked through the fundamentals of setting up a tank and stocking. I used to go in twice a week with dumb questions and they were short and…
