For anyone with a salt water tank, just know that they are pretty much they are selling us Fox Lake water. I am very disappointed in this Something Fishy, that they knowingly sell poor water to salt water enthusiasts who put lots of time, work and money to have a beautiful aquarium. A local shop is nice but they don't change their filters for RO water. After starting to use their water, my anemone closed up never to open again and eventually died, All of my beautiful corals died, 1 clownfish died and my purple tang is ill (white face). Not even a day after a water change my rocks (now coral-less) turn a bright unnatural green, brown algae is instantly over my glass and the back wall. I recently went to a trusted fish store tested the Something Fishy "RO Water" and it was proven that Something Fishy water is of horrible quality.

BEST PET STORE EVER! The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I live about an hour away and am happy to come in whenever necessary to shop for my two dogs and two cats. They are very customer service oriented and absolutely go out of their way to help the customer. They have a wonderful unique selection at GREAT prices, unlike several of the other area stores. Shopping here is definitely beneficial, in more ways than one, as you will learn tons about the proper care for your animal as well as get what is needed at extraordinarily cheap prices, for extremely good quality items! I will ALWAYS shop here, GO SOMETHING FISHY!

I would like to comment about the below post..... But start by saying I have purchased an array of animals and supplies from this shop and have never had an issue. Posts like the one below should not be taken into consideration when shopping for an animal. After four months of ownership by the customer, Something Fishy is no longer in care of the animal and is no longer to blame for its death . The customer is assuming they purchased an old hamster with no evidence of age, and yes hamsters when young are extremely hard to sex. For all we know the animal may have been dropped, left by a window, or many other reasons why it passed, no of which may be the fault of the pet shops.
I bought a hamster there for my daughter and they said it was a baby and it was OLD!!! It died after 4 months. We had it only 1 month and it had a litter of babies and we were told it was a male. When I called and told them they just laughed, oh you can never be sure of these things. THEN DONT TELL THE CUSTOMERS THE SEX!!! I will never shop there again, infact I have seen another post about them and their hamster died in only a few months too. I know they do not live love but 4 months is devestating to a 9 year old. I thought I ewas doing a good thing going to a family business, but never Something Fishy again, AND the name fits this business perfectly!!!
