Excellent, healthy stock; frequent new stock; friendly employees

Keinsler Sison

Great new place to buy cichlids and other type of freshwater fish. Definitely one of the best to get freshwater fish and plants.

Jamie Muzik

Great staff and unreal selection. If you are looking for fish these are the guys!!

Everything Fishy

Very good selection on freshwater fish, can’t beat prices anywhere else in Winnipeg, friendly staff very knowledgeable. If you want some hard to find rare species this is the place to go!

Russel Loire

Mike Bomhoff

Best selection in Winnipeg.

Walter Martins Da Ponte

Went for the first time two days ago, they seemed friendly and knowledgeable. However, after spending almost $200 in tropical fish, one died (a green Glow Tetra "YES a 4 dolar fish" - out of 25 fish aprox. purchased), I called them to replace it and basically the DO NOT back their product because they're so called wholesalers. Everyone should back up what they sell, also, if your a wholesaler you should be cheaper than regular stores, not more expensive!. So one star for the price and your product support. I suggest find a store that backs their product!!!

Sketchy. They were closed at 12:55pm. When I got there.. . Called and called no answer. Heard they had exotic fishes but guess I will never know.

Hearing Trees

I walked out in disgust. Google won't allow me to give zero stars but I'm giving zero stars as a warning to people. Half of the tanks are covered in disgusting brown algae or have dead or sick fish in them. It'd have been nice to be able to see the stock, but whomever owns this place doesn't even bother to clean the *outside* of the glass. It's so dirty, you have to squint to see what's even in there, you cant' even see the stock. An entire third of this guy's stock isn't even accessible to view as it's a whole ten feet off the ground! No greeting, no customer service, nothing. I will choose to buy my aquarium products from people who have the ability to at least keep their aquariums in a basic, BASIC, BAAAAASIC level of care. I don't know what's going on here, but if this were cats or dogs I would be reporting for animal abuse.

Sharon Strubhar

Visited the new location, they are still in the setup phase, but man, the selection of aquascaping supplies, stone and driftwood, was amazing and inexpensive, worth the trip.

Johnny Rockstar

Always a great place to look at fish! He is the local distributor for Xtreme food and he has the best priced heaters in the city.

Joerg Maass

Colin Fraser

This place is awesome, the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. The staff is very helpful and explains everything to the customer. I highly recommend this place to all fish lovers.

Paul Tyminski

If a great selection of quality fish, reasonable prices and genuinely knowledgable staff are important to you then this should be your go-to freshwater fish shop. I have shopped here for years and have never had issues with the health or quality of the fish I've bought. The "fish list" section of their site is frequently updated; you can find their current stock and new arrivals there along with prices. Good place to stock up on fish food as well.

Jeff Ching

Love the odd ball fish !

Christoph Enns

Great selection of fish at reasonable prices. Worth the trip.

John Bomhoff

As always friendly helpful staff, great selection of fish, plants, and equipment. Best in the City. You won't be disappointed!

Derek Hubbs

Excellent service, very accommodating. Quality fish for a great price..

Ryan Hinther

Brings in the coolest and rarest stuff at the best prices. A premiere distributer in Canada.

Geoff Gambee

After all the hype and recommendations to check this store out. Was treated poorly and given absolutely Zero customer service. Extremely poor service that I feel is promoted from the owner himself. Was treated as if I was totally disturbing them just for being there and basically told by the owner that I was. I’ll order out of province with better service thx. And a big thanks to you Spencer for basically telling me to pound sand just for shopping at your store.

Will Lisson

Great selection.

Sara Scott

not the right address

L P

I've been going here for a few years. Everyone is super knowledgeable and happy to help.

trick guzman

what a waste of time and gas driving all the way from the city, workers are rude and unhelpful, beyond poor customer, don't ever patronize this kind of business we've been walking around the shop for 10 mins and the staff have definitely seen us and walked by us , and never even offered held or assistance

S Shepard

Wonderful place with huge selection and friendly staff.

Brendan Jozsa

Amazing place !!!!!! beautiful fish and also very healthy !!!! Great selection and extremely knowledgable staff !!! and most importantly lots beautiful and exotic fish are kept in stock and are brought in regularly ...... Also it's a good place to save a couple bucks best prices I've seen in the city

John Tugby

Very helpful with their knowledge of the large selection of fish. And the cost of the fish is very reasonable.

Devin Schaftari

Very helpful with getting my order set up, and left me with all the details I needed. Was willing to answer all of my questions with quick response. Order of 12 mbuna cichlids all arrived healthy and looking great!

dennis felker

Really nice fish there and well cared

rakama Vybz

Terrible customer service, no greetings, no help, ask questions and the guy acts like I'm just being bothersome to him. There was a big dog barking and following me around but they just said he'sa puppy and left it as that. Finally someone came to get the dog but it already nipped at my fingers and I just decided it's time to leave. I'll pay the 150 extra to buy from out east instead.

Shawn S

Spencer always has a wealth of info, helps with anything and a huge supply of fish. Even with the pandemic making it hard to get fish. Highly recommended. 10 stars.

Nixon O

Extoic fish at fair price and a wide selection.

Krista Lee

Chantele Aitken

Fantastic store, even going through this pandemic! Staff get back to you quickly online, and the fish sold are in great health! I've shopped here multiple times and walked away with a big smile on my face!

Posting this from the parking lot because I'm that disappointed in the service, wasted time, and wasted gas. Open sign wasn't on so wasn't sure when I pulled up if they were open. Walked in and couldn't see a single person in there, though music was on so I guess it was open? No employee came to greet me. Went down all the aisles to look for the fish I drove half an hour to pick up. Couldn't find it, and still hadn't seen a single person. Finally found some guy tucked away between the back of the aisles and asked him if he had the fish I was looking for. He didn't understand the common term (maybe he would have if he'd come closer) so I had to try to pronounce the scientific term. Said they didn't have any (still no greeting btw.) I said their website list said they had some a few days ago. He replied "Yeah. That was a few days ago." So helpful.... There was another fish there I was interested in that I saw in a tank but did not want to deal with this guy anymore. Unfortunately I don't know where else to look to find this one specific fish, so I'll be shopping online for it. Never coming back since my last/first ever visit was also met with a lack of information (c: what kind of rock is this? /Employee: it's base rock. /C: oh, kay? What's it made of? /Employee: not sure.) Had to look it up myself when I got home, after purchasing a few since it's a long drive and didn't want to drive back just for rocks, since there's no good signal inside the store to do some online searching before making a purchase. Ended up giving them away because I learned it would raise the pH. So helpful.. not a place for people with questions.

Steel balls

Cbone Fisher

Amazing selection of fish, plants, rock, driftwood. Anything u can think of fish related this is the place.

Lorraine Lowen

Lots of selection. Great prices

Tai Truong

Without a doubt, the largest selection of fish in 1 building in Winnipeg. Fish lists are frequently updated on their website. I love having to know what I want even before getting to the store! One of the best prices for stock. People are always friendly, dogs are allowed in, there's sitting areas, and is professionally upkept.

Gabrielle Rowland

Great prices, friendly staff, clean tanks with large varieties of fish that were healthy and well fed!
