Salty's of Lake Norman

Xander, Julia, Jeremy and Jerry are all amazing and have some of the best advice and knowledge about aquariums of all kinds. If you’re looking in the store for something specific (fish, substrate, etc) and they don’t have it, all you have to do is ask and they can order it for you! I’ve been coming here for a little over a year and every-time is a welcoming and amazing experience. Below is one of my amazing tanks!

I’ve stopped in a handful of times and am consistently impressed by the store’s selection of fish, overall cleanliness, and the staff’s knowledge. I believe I’ve met Jerry and Jeremy, both of whom were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I have no doubt the rest of the team is just as great. They’re also very flexible and open to special orders, so if you’re looking for something specific, don’t hesitate to ask!

Tank conditions are top notch and everything is clean. The prices for livestock are a good bit higher than other stores in the area. For example, they had a copperband butterfly listed for $120 when they typically go for $50 most other places.

I believe I met the owner yesterday. I didn’t ask but he certainly seemed like it. We didn’t talk long but he was obviously very knowledgeable. Made sure the substrate I selected would be fit for my application without insinuating I didn’t know what it would be used for. Inquired about my tanks and the plans I had. Didn’t try to sell me any fish when I am setting up a new tank that still needs to cycle (I can not stand when stores do that). Answered questions I had unrelated to products I was interested in at the store. Seemed like a great guy and will be returning in the future!!

Very knowledgeable staff who is very efficient as well. You'll rarely wait for anything long there. Very nice, rotating fish selection as well. No telling what u may find......
