Jackson Fish and Coral

Jackson Fish and Coral in Ridgeland, Mississippi has earned a fierce loyalty from saltwater hobbyists across the state — and beyond. One customer drove all the way from Gulfport, another from Texas, and both left raving about the quality of livestock and the depth of knowledge behind the counter. This is a dedicated saltwater shop, and that singular focus shows in every detail: healthy, vibrant marine fish with not a nicked fin in sight, stunning coral displays, and a curated selection of premium equipment including Red Sea tanks, skimmers, and rollermats.

The store is the vision of owner Greg (along with team members Tim and Will, and former owner Clyde), and reviews consistently highlight their patience, transparency, and genuine investment in customer success. Multiple first-time saltwater keepers credit the staff with guiding them through their initial setup without being pushy — even helping them save money along the way. One customer purchased six marine fish totaling around $700 and reported all were eating within 24 hours, a testament to the health of the livestock and the store's care standards.

Beyond retail, Jackson Fish and Coral offers tank installation and maintenance services. Greg and his team installed a custom in-wall aquarium for one customer who described it as looking like a piece of art. The store also provides water service for added convenience, and staff are happy to give detailed stock lists and pricing over the phone for those traveling from a distance.

The shop itself draws praise for its clean, organized, and professional atmosphere — one reviewer noted it's the only fish store his wife will actually visit with him. Beautiful display tanks showcase what's possible with their livestock and equipment. While the inventory is exclusively saltwater (freshwater keepers will need to look elsewhere), the focus pays off in quality and depth.

For reef enthusiasts and marine fishkeepers anywhere in central Mississippi, Jackson Fish and Coral is the destination.
