About
Family Pet Connection is a full-service independent pet store in Fallon, NV, and for local fishkeepers it fills a real gap in a town with no dedicated big-box alternative. It's primarily a general pet shop — dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals all share the floor — but the freshwater fish section has quietly earned some of the store's warmest reviews, especially from betta owners. If you're hunting for healthy bettas for sale in Fallon, NV, this is the place locals point to.
One shopper came in expecting the sad cup bettas you find at big-box marts and was won over instead: the bettas here live in clean, individual containers with plenty of room to move, and a firm don't-touch policy keeps the fish handled with care. Her daughter's betta, Koppenhagen, arrived so well-socialized that he immediately started blowing bubbles and interacting at the edge of his tank. The crew will also special-order freshwater fish and supplies they don't keep on hand — a genuine asset for a smaller market like Fallon.
Around the fish, the store doubles as a one-stop shop for reptile keepers, with feeders, substrates, and terrarium furniture all in stock. Recent visitors describe a welcoming, "super helpful" team — the ladies in the back come up again and again — and call it a cute, friendly spot for rounding up everyday pet needs. Grooming is the other big draw: customers rave about the work on everything from Great Pyrenees to golden retrievers, often at prices that undercut PetSmart, plus quick walk-in nail trims and a self-service wash tub.
The owner runs a no-nonsense, pets-first operation, and while a few shoppers find her direct, most leave praising the clean store, quality stock, and knowledgeable help. For Fallon fishkeepers and reptile owners alike, it's a dependable local fish store worth a walk-in visit.

— Rocky Bashir5.0a week ago“They are an amazing place to get your dog groomed here. Over the winters they take amazing care for my dog Tobi and get him freshly cleaned and blown out so I can groom him. The owner is always welcoming and the ladies in the back are always lovely. Definitely recommend.”

— Haden Poland5.0Edited a month ago“The owner is very nice and very helpful. Things are a little pricey but good quality so it works out. Very clean and an amazing groomer.”
— Sandy Zella5.0a month ago“All my daughter wanted for her birthday was a countertop [3 gal] tank, and one beta fish. I walked in expecting sad cup betas like you see at big box marts. Nope. Healthy, happy fish. Yes betas in isolated containers, but clean with plenty of room to move. The don't touch policy is major. The fish are treated with care and respect. And it shows. Because we walked in off a recommendation and were not exactly greeted warmly. And that's perfect. The owners are obviously pets first, sales second. Koppenhagen [my daughter's first not a family pet... just her's] interacts with her, blows bubbles at the edges of the tank, expects his best life because that is how he was treated before he came to live here. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend if you are looking for your next friend.”
