The store may occupy a compact space, but it's packed floor to ceiling with rotating stock that keeps regulars coming back to see what's new. The freshwater selection is the main draw. Reviewers rave about a stunning discus display tank, diverse cichlid offerings including apistogramma varieties, leaf fish, red cherry tetras, and an impressive range of rare and unusual species you won't find at big-box pet stores. Freshwater clams, algae-eating snails, and shrimp round out a solid invertebrate selection. The live plant section is a standout — lush, well-maintained, and stocked with enough variety to satisfy serious planted tank enthusiasts. There's also a smaller but interesting saltwater section worth browsing. What sets Fishy Bizz apart is the health of its livestock. The store quarantines new arrivals in the back before putting them on the sales floor, and customers consistently report that fish arrive home healthy and thriving. Every tank in the shop is clean, well-organized, and easy to view — a detail that matters more than you'd think after visiting stores where murky water obscures everything. Staff members Ethan and Piper get called out by name repeatedly for their expertise and genuine enthusiasm. They'll walk newcomers through their first tank setup, help experienced hobbyists track down a specific species to order, and give honest advice without pushing unnecessary products. The store carries Xtreme fish food, Aquarium Co-Op products, driftwood, hardscape materials, heaters, filters, and other accessories that go well beyond basic chain-store inventory. A rewards program sweetens the deal for repeat visitors, and the prices are generally considered fair for the quality of livestock offered. Even the bathroom has personality — decorated with a collage mural of fish-themed magazine covers that customers genuinely love. Fishy Bizz is the kind of local fish store that builds a community around it. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater, Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Live Plants, Discus, Rare Species, Cichlids, Invertebrates, Shrimp, Planted Tanks, Tetras, Dry Goods, Aquarium Equipment, Fish Food - **Services**: Quarantine, Consultation - **Known For**: Knowledgeable Staff, Healthy Fish ## Highlights - Stunning discus display tank and rotating rare freshwater species - All new fish quarantined before being offered for sale - Extensive live aquatic plant section with hardscape materials - Staff members Ethan and Piper praised by name for deep fishkeeping expertise - Carries Xtreme fish food and Aquarium Co-Op products ## Brands Carried Xtreme, Aquarium Co Op ## Customer Reviews **"David"** - 5/5 - a day ago > Piper is great.
