About
Whiskers Wings And Wild Things is a family-owned fish store and full-line pet shop in Canton, OH, where a resident Maine Coon is as likely to greet you at the door as a staff member. Longtime owner Harry and his crew have built a reputation for honest, patient guidance — the kind of place regulars happily drive 20 miles to reach, and where the rewards punch cards actually pay off over time. As of spring 2026 the shop is settling into a new, larger location, and customers can't stop talking about the extra room: more space for the animals and merchandise, and aisles that no longer feel crowded.
On the aquatic side, the freshwater selection runs from hardy community fish to standouts like Oscars and a deep bench of plecos — including bristlenose plecos for sale in Canton, OH. Shoppers have even picked up a golden catfish here, said to be one of the only ones around Stark County, alongside an ever-changing tank of feeder fish for owners keeping bigger predators. Beyond the fish, this is the spot Canton hobbyists point to for turtle and aquatic-creature supplies — reviewers call it the best and biggest selection in the greater Canton area — plus axolotls, isopods, Halloween crabs and other invertebrates, terrarium plants, and famously fat, lively night crawlers for bait.
The shelves carry close to the full line of Seachem water-care products, so dialing in a freshwater tank is easy without a separate trip. What keeps people loyal is the small-business feel: staff who remember your name, talk through proper husbandry before you buy, and clearly care about the animals in their charge. For Canton-area aquarists after freshwater fish, invertebrates, and gear available in Canton, OH from people who genuinely know their stock, Whiskers Wings And Wild Things is a real neighborhood institution — friendly cats included.

Customer reviews
“i cant believe ive been sleeping on this place since we moved here last year. the wings were so crispy and saucy without being a drippy mess which is my biggest pet peeve. my kids were losing it over the little train set they have in the corner she literally asked when we could come back before we even finished eating. ive already told three friends about it and im not even a foodie person just a mom who likes good food. i cant wait to try their crab legs next time because our server said theyre flown in fresh. honestly every bite was just perfect and i could tell everything is made with care.”

— Food and Fun Traveler5.02 weeks ago“Amazing place. Probably the best I have ever been to.”
— Christian Beane5.03 weeks ago“I went in and bought two fish and was hoping this could become my main pet store since it’s family owned. A blue electric acara and a bristlenose pleco. One of the owners then suggested I buy another pleco that was $40. I told him i didn’t want another fish that got bigger than the bristlenose (5-6in max). He ASSURED me it’s the same size so I took it up front. I googled the fish he suggested while waiting to pay and it gets 20 inches long. Then he said “I’ve only ever seen them 10in”. Which is still way bigger than I told him I needed. He tried to scam me. Additionally, I found out he didn’t sell me an electric blue acara but a blue ram which are an apparently commonly sold as Acara’s as a scam. Oh and both fish died in a week while my other fish are happy and healthy. Which makes sense after reading all the 1 star reviews about sick animals. Dishonest and shady business.”
