On average, saltwater fish Ive bought here have been healthier and in a better condition than most other saltwater fish stores Ive purchased from. I suspect they use reliable suppliers for their fish. The tropical freshwater section is excellent with lots of variety, including hard to find species.
The aquarium fish are always healthy and in good condition. Unlike some other pet shops that usually have white spots etc after you take them home. Variety varies, they do not many exiting new species but they have the usual common fish. Purchased a bunch of white clouds for the pond outside which are doing well.
I bought my fish n I was assisted by the gentleman there and they were very friendly
This is honestly one of the best stores I have visited for pet fish. The staff are extremely honest and knowledgeable, you can definitely see that they care about the fish and their well being. As a newbie to the hobbie, I always receive great advice and never feel forced to take multiple products. All my livestock from this store have been healthy and happy. I thoroughly enjoy every visit to this store and the staff are always welcoming, even if I am just there to look around. The variety of stock is impressive and everything is so reasonably priced. Keep up the brilliant work.
Love it always has the best nik naks for birds and wide variety of fish and accessories
The people who work there are helpful, we got winter jackets for our pets, they allowed us to fit the jackets and the price wasnt bad
Love the shopThey always have stock very friendly and have so much variety, from pet toys to decorative items. They are just good
Great place. Service I not off the best. Have to find someone to assist or wait until someone is available.Queue are sometime too long and waiting.
I went to buy a doggie jacket and the sales lady at the front was so rude and unfriendly , you would think in this economy we are in people would want your business . Fortunately there are lots of pet shops around that I would rather support . Thank you for the none service lady !!
In my experience, this is probably the best aquarium store in Johannesburg. Staff are always willing to help and provide advice. Great selection of freshwater and marine fish and equipment. A must visit for any hobbyist in Joburg.
A great variety of fish but sometimes difficult to get someone to assist you. Always need to walk around and look for some assistance.
Would have given them a higher rating but very disappointing when u buy for more than R 15000, especially in these times and they are not even interested to give u a discount which all other places do. The lady at the tills with the short hair is un interested and unfriendly. No customer care manners or even a thank u for your purchase. The other staff is friendly and helpful but why should I spend my money there again.
Variety and range of pet accessories and animals is very good. Unfortunately the owners were the most unfriendly and disinterested people around. Dont know how they still around based on their poor PR skills.
Ive been to the store twice and will never return.On my first visit:1. There were plenty of dead fish in the tanks, we had to call the employees and show them the dead fish in their display tanks before someone bothered to clean these.2. When we were looking through the range of the fish asking their staff any questions basically meant they would have to go ask someone leaving you waiting for minutes on end3. Given point two we gave up and the interesting fish that we have not encountered before we tried to take photos of the name of the fish on the tank and research them (with the flash off) and we were told no one is allowed to take any photos. Given they do not have the basic knowledge on the fish and were not allowed to take photos and lastly that they were not able to provide us with a pen an paper to note it down I do not see how this place have their doors open still.4. When we scoped the fish we were interested in we signaled that we needed help and the employee said he will be back right away, we waited for almost 30 minutes with no service and went to go find someone to assist us.5. The moss rock/plants sold to us were infected with snail eggs that we did not realize till it was way too late and we infected two planted tanks with items bought from the store.The second time I visited the store we were stopped in the door because they did not allow trolleys to enter the store. The only reason a trolley was used in the first place was because we had our 3 year old toddler with us and did not want her running around and touching all the tanks and slipping on the spilled water on their floors again like our first visit.In my opinion if you buy from this place do not expect your guarantee to last as I do not see these doors to remain open for very long. Their true core values are shown clearly under their name in the front of the store where they clearly state that RIGHT OF ADMISSION RESERVED
Good selection of tropical and marine fish...
Good variety of fish and a few livestock. Has a wife variety of pet products as well. Can be a bit pricy on aquarium equipment.
Good Range for PetsNeed to get a better and more affordable range of Large Koi Food
Great selection of pets
Good selection of fish and not bad prices. But unfriendly staff and not good service
If you are an aquarium enthusiast, then in my experience this is the store that will be of tremendous help to you. If you are a newcomer to keeping a fish tank, then Bryn is your man. Very professional and goes the extra mile to help.
Got a nice selection of fish both tropical and freshwater. Also a lot of aquarium accessories/equipment.
Received good advice from this store on how to start keeping fish. Thats why we do local, always people ready to help.
Nice Pet shop. Upmarket range. Fair prices and good service
Comprehensively stocked, with great service from the floor staff
Badly stocked and very unhelpful and unfriendly. Many other pet/fish shops available
I bought 2 nudgies after a 3 days they died! Owner was not interested to even find out what caused the birds to die.I will never go back there.
The staff are very helpful.
Staff friendly and helpful and pricing very good
Friendly and efficient service
Wide variety of pet fish with excellent expert advice
Good choice of fish and all equipment for acquarium. plants is another story.... just a few and not in good condition and this is almost always the case.... for therest of animals stuff more or else a good choice even for rabit and cats. but definitely more a place for acquarium than anything else. covid rules are ok
Friendly staff, always willing to assist and fish are healthy thanks are clean and maintained
Great pet shop. One can see they really care for the animals they sell...and they keep stock of most items.
Manager is very helpful, gives good advice
Reasonably stocked but not always very helpful. If you know what you want then good store though.
Well stocked, clean, well organised. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Great quality freshwater and saltwater fish and accessories, prices a bit steep though, but you get what you pay for.
It was quiet on Tuesday about three pm. All the staff were talking amongst themselves. Was able to browse without interruptions. Nice variety of tetras on sale. Even got 10% off the marked price on a bag of fish food.
Fabulous selection of just about everything any fish pet owner could need or want. Theres a long haired fellow there who is always eager to please. They have an amazing array of marine fish and livestock. This place qualifies as one of the good old days pet shops we used to frequent as kids. Its an adventure even for window shopping or just looking.
Excellent fish and accessory store
It has the bare essentials we needed but not the all out goodies we wanted! Not bad though and well worth a visit!
Great store with a side variety of products to suit all you and your pets needs.
Wide range of fish and reef productsa bit pricey on corals and staff usually seem preoccupied, but when they attend they are helpful
Staff is helpfull
Marine fish section is well stocked. Prices on livestock are very high. Been there a few times, and only couple of times did staff offer to help. The livestock is quite healthy. African Cichlid stock could be worked on.
Great shop and livestock.
Decently priced store, helpful staff. They have a modest collection of tropical fish, a small collection of marine and a tiny selection of cold. Best place to be when looking for water treatments and tests.
Great stock and friendly service
Variety of nice fish, different species all the time, like phantom Rams and reasonable prices
I love this pet shop however some staff members have an attitude if they have to help you. Not friendly at all I don’t know what happened with them.
You wont easily catch me here again. They are selling simese fighters to people with goldfish and putting them together in a little fish bowl. This will be a murder within 5 minutes and then the simese fighter will die soon after due to lack of filtration and temperature.Im sorry, but if R45 means that much to them, then they certainly wont see my money again. The people there know exactly what they are doing and honestly dont care at all. All I got when I told them was a smile and a shrug!
They are well stocked on pet requirements. Friendly staff too.
Superb selection of all pet requirements with a vast range of Tropical and Seawater fish avaliable! Prices are relatively comparable to competitors, being slightly on the higher end however. Staff are decently helpful, however the range and selection of fish is a must for any aquarium lover!
I have seen the managers wife is always bullying the staff almost every week and she doesnt let them go on lunch breaks. One of the workers terrorizes the hamster and the owners dont care. There are roaches running around the shop and doesnt seem hygienic at all. The owners and managers wife is very unfriendly and always has an attitude I wouldnt suggest going here. Its very unfriendly.
Great store, advice and staff. Shop here often.Really great service for marine tanks.
Quite expensive. Good range. Very nice salt water fish. Limited tropical fish.
Overpriced fish died the next day
Amazing variety of fish both freshwater and saltwater. Friendly staff that know about the animals and the various other products available. Also the staff treat the fish well when transferring them into the bags you take them home in. Most other stores are fairly rough with them, which Im sure causes the fish unnecessary trauma and shortens their life but here they are so gentle.
Amazing. All fish I have bought always live, freshwater and saltwater and deffinately one of the cheapest livestock aquarium shops in the area
Big store, lots of fish to choose from, but the prices??
Great service. It has a lot of exotic pets and things needed for them. Stock is good and has variety.
Good quality pets at reasonable prices
Wonderful variety of products. Aquarium section is the best Ive seen so far in the area. Staff are very helpful.
Great shop. Has some really cool pets
Recently bought crickets for my chameleon, disgusted by the state that they are in. They charge a fortune, and half of them are dead in the container. The staff are also not the friendliest.
Big range and diversity of fish on the freshwater and marine side. Also stock good selection of live aquatic plants
Bought 3 goldfish when we got home we saw a parasite attached to one of the fish after we put them in the tank! Went back to the shop, they are not interested in remedying the situation, only selling us treatment at an additional cost! Not even sorry😪Quite honestly I have never found the owner or his wife to be even slightly friendly. They are in fact extremely sour unfriendly people.Wont be back
What an awesome pet shop.
The selection is amazing and they have most things, however, the staff are unhelpful and it feels like youre irritating them when you ask them something. A big sigh before answering. Unpleasant experience.
Excellent variety of fish, and absolutely anything for pets, from dog tags stamped/printed while you wait to food for all pets, pet toe nail clippers, toys, raw hide bones, excellent, knowledgeable and friendly people working there.
Has a good variety of products. Staff very helpful. I personally never saw any dead fish in their tanks
So many beautiful exotic animals! And a great variety of petcare items on sale, too!
Excellent variety food and accessories for all type of pets. Prices used to be cheaper but it picked up slighty however it is still fair
Although the selection is outstanding, the owners are quite rude, and the stock and products are wildly over priced. I worked out an average of 60% - 200% mark up on any basic product you would purchase at other pet stores. Its a pity that it would be cheaper to travel elsewhere for the same quality.
Awesome selection of marine livestock and corals
This store is with packed with practically everything your pet needs and the staff are friendly and Helpful
Great variety. Great price
Great staff but the real pleasure is seeing how they care for their fish and other animals. Pleasure every time!!!
Although they have a great variety of pet and product offerings, the managers/owners dont know how to treat customers properly. Clearly retaining customers and repeat purchases isnt a worry of yours.
Great pet store. One stop pet store
Nice variety of marine fish. They unpack new fish on Thursday. Not a good day to buy fish
Efficient service
Cool place. People are always friendly and helpful.
Nice marine setup, few too many aiptasia for my liking. Tad neglected?
The service isnt always the same it just depends on who assist us.
Awsome service with very good prices.
Great pet store and very informed staff members.
Good range of healthy fish, great selection of toys
Good shop for fishes. Price is bit high
They have a good range of products for all pets including chinchillas, hamsters, birds, cats, dogs and fish.I do not condone them selling gineapigs and hamsters as their conditions arent always great.
Great petstore, massive selection, decent prices, knowledgable staff....go to this store for most of my aquarium needs
Miserable, unfriendly owners. Unless youre buying marine fish etc the staff act like they are doing you a favour.
Nice variety especially being one of the only shops of its kind in the area. Customer service not great staff and owners are unfriendly
Reasonably priced product options as well as higher end options. Clean and well managed.
Expensive but the owner knows what he is doing. Staff not so much or dont care.
Reasonable pricing and stock a wide variety of products.
Robert was extremely knowledgeable and a real pleasure to talk to!
Well organized with efficient friendly staff
