About
7 stars. Step inside and the first thing regulars mention is how clean and well-organized the place is—tanks are spotless, the livestock looks healthy, and browsing feels easy rather than overwhelming. The saltwater and reef side is the heart of the shop.
Customers repeatedly call the coral selection the best in South Florida, with frags and colonies that rotate week to week, so there's always something new to see. Staff like Thomas (often called Tommy), Mario, Luis, Anthony, Chris, and Derrick get named again and again for their patience and genuine knowledge. One newer reefer wrote that the team was "super patient, extremely knowledgeable, and always willing to answer my (many) questions"—the kind of guidance that helps first-time reef keepers actually succeed.
If you're shopping for corals for sale in Miami, FL, this is the room people drive across town to browse. Freshwater shoppers do well here too. Reviewers highlight a selection that's "tough to find at the local aquariums," including guppies, bettas, and corydoras, plus live plants and even hard-to-source picks like duckweed.
The betta care stands out—fish are kept in spacious, filtered, heated tanks rather than tiny cups—and staff readily suggest compatible tank mates for beginners setting up a first tank. Hobbyists hunting hardscape call it their go-to spot for rock and aquascaping materials. Pricing is a recurring compliment, with live rock noted as especially well-priced and overall livestock described as fair to excellent.
The store rounds things out with dry goods, equipment, and fish food, so a single trip covers most needs. The bilingual, family-run service makes Miami's diverse aquarium community feel at home, and Spanish-speaking customers consistently praise the attentive, professional help. For healthy freshwater fish and vibrant corals available in Miami, FL, Strictly Fish & Corals remains a destination worth the drive.

— rene maestre2.02 months ago“As someone new to the reefing hobby, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Strictly Fish and Corals has been incredible super patient, extremely knowledgeable, and always willing to answer my (many) questions without hesitation. You can tell they genuinely care about helping you succeed, not just making a sale. Thomas, Mario, Luis and everyone else have been truly amazing. Only heads up: parking can be a bit tight on weekends because of the busy plaza but honestly, it’s 100% worth it. Highly recommend.”
