Tucked into St Mary Plaza in the Morgan City area, Steve's Pet Shop is a locally run store that covers a surprisingly broad range of animals and supplies — from tropical fish and birds to rabbits and reptiles (yes, there's a snake). While it's a general pet store rather than a dedicated aquarium shop, the fish department has earned a loyal following among freshwater hobbyists in the Bayou Vista and Morgan City communities. Multiple customers note that the fish tanks here are notably clean and well-maintained, with healthy stock that outperforms what they've found at big-box chains like PetSmart and Petco.
One reviewer specifically mentioned that after switching to Steve's for their fish purchases, their aquarium inhabitants stayed healthier and lived longer — a telling endorsement for any fishkeeper who's tired of bringing home stressed or sickly livestock. The aquarium supplies section is also well-stocked, and customers appreciate not having to deal with the perpetual out-of-stock frustrations common at larger retailers. The store is run by a small team of three women who consistently draw praise for their friendliness and hands-on knowledge about animal care.
The overall atmosphere is clean and well-organized, with healthy animals in tidy enclosures — details that suggest genuine attention to husbandry rather than just moving product. Pricing runs slightly higher than chain stores, but customers seem to view that as a fair trade for better quality livestock and personalized service. Steve's Pet Shop won't overwhelm you with a massive coral frag wall or rows of rare imported species.
What it offers is a reliable, well-kept local shop where the freshwater fish are healthy, the supplies are in stock, and the staff actually takes time to help you figure out what you need. For aquarium keepers in the Morgan City area who want to support a local business and bring home fish that will actually thrive, it's a solid stop.

Cynthia Soto doesn't care who she sells her puppies too and if they are going to a home where they can be cared for. She is definitely not a woman of her word.

One of the best pet shops I have been to in a while. I would normally shop at PetSmart or Petco to get things for my fish, but since going to Steve's my fish have been healthy and staying alive. The tanks are pretty clean amd seem to get cleaned often. The pricing is on the higher end but you also get the quality of the fish. The animals are well taken care of and the cages are clean. They look very healthy and friendly. This shows they give attention to the animals/pets there. If you need a place to get your pet supplies and pets, this is the place to go.
