About
Tucked away in Cresson, Pennsylvania, J S K's Fish & More is the kind of small-town pet shop that locals are genuinely glad to have nearby. While the name puts fish front and center, this store serves a broader community of pet owners — from aquarium hobbyists picking up fish essentials to reptile keepers stocking up on feeder worms for their bearded dragons. What reviewers consistently praise is the personal touch.
The owner is described as an amazing lady with strong connections in the pet supply world, willing to special order whatever customers need. That kind of flexibility is rare and speaks to a business built on relationships rather than volume. Customers appreciate being able to walk in and get one-on-one attention, something the big-box pet chains simply can't replicate.
Pricing is another draw. Multiple reviewers note that J S K's beats the chain stores on cost, making it a practical choice for routine purchases like fish supplies, food, and other essentials. For freshwater fishkeepers in the Cresson area, it's a reliable local source that saves a longer drive to bigger retailers.
The store does have its quirks — limited hours come up repeatedly in reviews, so it's worth checking their schedule before making the trip. But when the doors are open, customers report a welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable guidance on fish care. J S K's Fish & More fills an important niche in Cresson's small business landscape.
It's a neighborhood shop where the owner knows her regulars, where special orders are a phone call away, and where competitive pricing makes it easy to support local. For aquarium hobbyists and pet owners in the area who value personal service and fair deals over flashy showrooms, this shop delivers exactly what a community pet store should.

Customer reviews
“Not open enough other than when they are open it’s a nice place to go!”
— Frederick Brooks4.05 months ago“Sold me a half dead bearded dragon then tried to “sue” me when it died 3 days after I bought it (I have a different one who is alive and healthy now) she doesn’t know the care of reptiles I mean maybe 60 years ago but it’s certainly is not the right way anymore, she’s rude and questions everything you do for your animal I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy (plus she’s never even open)”
