Fin-Alley

Nice selection of fish, but not super helpful staff- quiet and short answers.

A great place. This guy has a great collection, vast knowledge, and a peaceful demeanor.if you like aquariums, you will be impressed!

I’ve debated leaving this review for some time because the owner really is knowledgeable and friendly, but I feel it’s necessary. About a year ago we bought 3 fish from here, 1 dwarf Gourami and 2 molly. The gourami died within a couple of months and the two molly lasted just under a week. Later to find out they gave our other fish the ick. We have never had any issues prior to this and never had ick in any tank. This resulted in 3 of our longest living fish to die even with treatment. We are avid fish owners and test our water regularly so I know it was no fault of ours. We’ve had fish for a long time and never had any die outside of their life expectancy and have rescued fish from bad conditions so it was disappointing to have such a negative outcome. I think the owner needs to reevaluate where they are sourcing their inventory.

Excellent aquarium store! The animals here are clearly well cared for with clean and good-sized tanks. There is a decent variety of fish. The staff was helpful also. Fin-Alley is my go-to for my fish needs.

I have been buying from here for a few years now. Great quality fish. Very hearty and healthy. Great plant selection usually.

Prices are kind of decent depending on the aquarium aura you desire but the customer service is disgusting I acutely own a handful of exotic aquariums & very knowledgeable I do these these reviews just see what business are kind & honest people who gives you great service & makes your purchase feel more of a investment sadly this store lack availability & services must say it was average sadly. Support him though I see improvement

Awesome fish and customer service! I’ve been buying from here for about 8 months now and every fish I get is super healthy and eating. The owner is great too!

Troy (the owner) is so knowledgeable and has gone out of his way to assist me in this hobby consistently. Even above and beyond coming into the shop, Troy has allowed me to message him through facebook to get advice on my aquarium making it easier for me to get help. He’s super responsive and has even helped me place special orders for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this shop!

Not much shelf stock, but healthy animals kept in clean habitats. You can tell this proprietor cares about his animals and the hobby.

Was visiting Athens and decided to drop by and to my surprise this was one of the few places that I have seen in which Bettas were being treated well by having them in tanks with other fish as opposed to keeping them in cups. There was one tank with two bettas, but he knew better and kept them separated with a divider. Also, it was pleasant to find stoney river black and white sand was also present at this store. The plant section was in its own tank, and from what I could tell, there were no snails in it, so I would not have to worry about pest snails hitchiking on any plants on the way home. I was looking at the Goldfish aisle, and Calico Telescopes and Red Fantails were listed for sale, although I didn't see any. I assumed this just meant they were currently sold out, and I am happy that they were getting business. That was pretty cool, though, since this is the only store I have visited to have Calico Telescopes and Red Fantails. Calico Telescopes are something I have not even thought of before this place, and many other fish stores find Red Fantails boring and do not sell them, but I think they deserve more love, so I am glad to see this shop was selling them. I hope they post photos of those in the future!
