About
Exotic Pet Paradise is a family-owned shop in Mansfield, OH where the fish room shares space with one of the most unusual pet lineups in the area. Reviewers consistently describe clean, well-maintained tanks stocked with healthy freshwater fish, and staff who clearly know aquatic care — one visitor singled out the crew as "very knowledgeable with fish," with tanks just as spotless as the rest of the store. If you're hunting for freshwater fish for sale in Mansfield, OH, this fish store pairs that stock with the kind of patient, hands-on guidance that keeps locals coming back.
What sets the place apart is the experience around the tanks. " The husband-and-wife owners and their team are the heart of it. Newer reviews describe staff letting a first-timer hold a leopard gecko, helping a nervous shopper carry in an old tank and swap it for a better-suited one, and walking newcomers through care for everything from crested geckos to tamed budgies and cockatiels.
That same generosity shows up again and again: owners who reserve animals for weeks while customers save up, special-order requests, and help that goes well beyond the sale. Pricing earns steady praise as fair and approachable, and the space itself is clean, organized, and roomy enough for families to browse comfortably. Though the shop's identity leans toward exotics, the freshwater selection and genuine tank know-how make it a worthwhile stop for Mansfield-area aquarists.
It's a relatively new, locally run operation with obvious passion — the kind of place where the owners greet you by name and treat every visitor like a neighbor. Stop in to see the fish, the safari, and the rest of the animals in person.

Customer reviews
“We did not even know this was here in mansfield. We stopped in on a whim and the decor and vibe in the building is very cool. A unique spot. Going to stop back in and do the Safari walk.”

— Melody Barler5.0a month ago“I came in to explore the possibility of getting a leopard gecko for the first time. My boyfriend is highly allergic to fur babies so I thought maybe a reptile would be a good option! These guys taught me quite a bit about them and were cool enough to even let me hold one of them! I only came in to check them out, but I'll definitely be coming back to get a gecko when I can!”
