While primarily known as an exotic pet destination — stocking bearded dragons, razorback musk turtles, prairie dogs, birds, rats, and more — the store also maintains a solid freshwater aquarium section that deserves attention from fish enthusiasts. What stands out immediately is the care given to the animals on display. Multiple reviewers note that the tanks and cages are clean and well-lit, and the bettas here swim in spacious tanks rather than the tiny cups seen at chain stores. One longtime customer bought a bearded dragon six years ago that's still thriving, then recently added a betta fish and praised the animal's obvious health. For freshwater hobbyists, the store offers personalized guidance — one visitor came in with a rough idea for an aquarium setup and left thrilled with the fish she selected, crediting the staff's expertise. Ohio Pet Depot also ships animals. A customer in Tennessee raved about receiving a healthy, well-packaged hatching razorback musk turtle, complete with follow-up communication and a lifetime support offer for questions. That kind of after-sale care is rare and speaks to the store's commitment beyond the point of purchase. The live feeder selection draws repeat customers, and the staff's knowledge base extends across species — from replicating a rat's previous drinking setup over the phone to offering thorough bird care consultations before a purchase. People drive from across the state to shop here, and the consensus is that it's worth the trip. The store occasionally draws complaints about inconsistent hours, and one reviewer noted a musty smell, but the overwhelming majority of the 351 reviews paint a picture of a clean, compassionate, well-run shop where animal welfare comes first. For Mansfield-area aquarists and exotic pet enthusiasts, it's a store that earns loyalty through genuine care. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater - **Livestock & Products**: Bettas, Live Plants - **Services**: Ships Fish, Consultation - **Known For**: Premium Equipment, Knowledgeable Staff ## Highlights - Bettas kept in spacious tanks rather than small cups, reflecting high animal welfare standards - Ships animals nationwide with careful packaging and post-purchase follow-up support - Extensive live feeder selection praised by repeat customers - Staff provides in-depth consultations across species, including phone support - Clean, well-maintained tanks and enclosures throughout the store ## Customer Reviews **"Lisa Justi"** - 5/5 - 2 days ago > Fun and interesting store.
