“Been here since they opened a couple of months ago and the owner is incredibly knowledgeable with the fish as well as tanks in general. Please stop by and support local!”

“Absolutely love this place! We always have so many questions as we are new to this and Cameron is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful! We have learned so much, you can really tell he takes pride in his work! All the fish are so healthy and well taken care of, everything is always very clean. We will continue business here for years to come.”

“An absolutely wonderful place. I had a fish emergency just as YoCamron's closed. He graciously got out of his car and opened the store back up to help me. My little buddy and I thank you very much!”

“I've been to several aquarium shops looking for dwarf synodontis to add to my group (not commonly sold). I was pleasantly surprised he had a healthy group waiting for me to bring home. Great selection and quality of fish (both fresh and salt), meticulously kept tanks, good prices. Just wish the shop was closer to me! I will definitely be back!”
