The Fish Room

We visited The Fish Room’s new location to see what had changed, and we were beyond impressed! The store is absolutely beautiful, with a clean, well-organized layout that makes browsing a pleasure. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, ready to answer any questions you have. They offer an amazing assortment of both freshwater and saltwater fish and creatures—everything looked healthy and well cared for. The only thing missing is the pond section, but the rest of the selection more than makes up for it. Overall, I love everything this spot has to offer and can’t recommend it enough for all your aquatic needs!

I found this seller through a Google search for tissue culture. Their website promised tissue culture with next-day shipping. I ordered on a Sunday but received no shipping updates by Tuesday, so I emailed them—no response. Over a week later, I got a small cup with dark brown water, no gel, and a dead, brown plant. Clearly, they sent a product that should’ve been trashed. Their “no refund” policy is outrageous for such a shady operation. I emailed twice after receiving it—still no reply. Thankfully, I paid with a credit card, reported them, and got my refund. But how many others got scammed? Avoid this seller unless you want to deal with a dishonest business. Pay with a credit card or steer clear! This is a well deserved review and for others whom has yet to speak up!

Great aquatic store! Fresh water, salt water, tanks, tank systems, tank supplies, beautiful variety of fish, RO water, knowledgeable staff. Been going here for a few years now. The old store was Capital and Old Wake Forest Rd (close to BJ's) and now moved just down Capital/US 1 almost to Spring Forest Rd.

Visited while in town, just seeing how it compares to local fish stores back home. Stocking was very basic as far as coral goes, mostly soft coral and some LPS. Some dead/dying inverts and fish in the fish tanks which isn’t a great sign. Spent about 10 minutes in store, none of the three or four employees said anything to us the whole time. Dry goods stocking looked great, wide selection of different products, and freshwater stocking looked healthy as well. Pricing seemed fair on most of the livestock.

We were able to purchase our whole salt water tank set here. Went back after our tank was cycled and purchased many fish. Our powder blue tang, maroon clown, gramma, damsel, valentini puffer, and bubble anenome are doing great 3-6 weeks out. We lost a few (leopard wrasse, a couple of damsels that were clearly stressed from other fish. The Fish Room employees are very knowledgeable and enjoy helping educate their customers. Shout out to Ben, Daniel and the supervisor!
