Love, love, love this place!! I had no idea I could have fish other than gold fish in a fresh water tank! I got two angel fish from here and some other fishy and I love them! The fellas here are knowledgeable and awesome to work with!! I go in this store just to see what’s new and converse with the guys. They’re awesome!

Outstanding customer service. I was on the hunt for a striped Raphael catfish, and the guys found me the last one they had which was at their former location as they were in mid move.. I am now a loyal somethings fishy customer, thanks guys!

Surprisingly great. Despite outward appearances, this is a great shop. The staff is very helpful and talkative. The fish are very well taken care of and they go to great lengths to ensure they’re selling healthy fish. Highly recommend!

Drove 3 hours to check out the store not knowing they were in the middle of moving, the owner let us meet up at the new location and grab some fish. Very nice of him! Would highly recommend!

Great selection of cichlids. They also have other tropical freshwater fish too. I picked up this Red Shoulder Severum while I was there. We also got a tour of their breeding rooms in the basement which was quite impressive. I think it was definitely worth the trip out to Cleveland.

Very nice shop. Had a good selection of fish. I just wish they had parking, when there’s not a space to park near the top of the street you might have some walking to do. The fish store itself is great though.

This is the only store I will go to for fish. Their selection of fish is extensive and their stock is healthy, colorful, and well cared for. Definitely a place to check out if youre looking for nice quality cichlids. Everyone that works here is friendly and knowledgeable. They give honest answers and feedback; you can tell that they want their customers to be 100% satisfied. Prices vary ranging from low to high, but the pricier fish are well worth the money. If youre in the fish hobby you absolutely have to check this store out. You wont be disappointed!

Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and puts forth a lot of effort to help you with your tank set up and stocking. I’m really happy with my first few purchases and look forward to more in the future. So much better then anything I’ve seen at the big box stores!

For cichlids and other freshwater tropicals you won’t find healthier fish, cleaner tanks and a more knowledgeable/helpful staff. Highly recommend

Review №18

Loved Something Fishy. The owners are very knowledgeable about the fish the carry. They will even take the time to explain to you what you can and what you shouldnt put in your tank. No salt water fish for those who have those aquarium tastes, but plenty of fresh water fish.

Awesome little place love the set up and huge personal aquariums they have running as decoration. Nice staff and alright prices, wish they had more variety of fish + crayfish so cool. Might be my personal fish care shop since its so close and I enjoy the shop so much.

I had a great experience. I drove here from niles, ohio (1hr 10m). I Thoroughly searched the area for a store and could only pick one time permitting. This one seemed like it wasnt just a reef/saltwater store, but rather a dedicated freshwater store and thats exactly what it was. I was really sad to find out they didnt have nor do they carry any mollys. I have a few rare mollies I want and still cant find. Although after talking with them I completely understand why, they dont sell in the area. Mostly cichlids and larger. Many rare fish sold in pairs. Their tanks were very clean. I purchased a pair of blue rams. ALLL fish look incredibly healthy. After speaking to someone about live plants they raised my confidence to get a couple of my first. They had many many drift wood, rocks, and carved rock caves. So much stuff everywhere. They have everything you could possibly need. Also talked me into a new food they cant to try.

This is hands down the best freshwater aquarium fish store in town. They have a huge variety of fish from puffers to chiclids to rare and exotic plecos. Be sure to grab a free doughnut when they have them.

Review №28

Large selection of young fish. Primarily went to look for Mbuna Cichlids from Lake Malawi in Africa. They had enough variety and plenty of stock on hand. While their prices on equipment and aquarium tanks were higher than I hoped for, it is a good LFS in the Cleveland area. It may actually be the only good one, which would make those prices worth it to support their business and keep them around. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, as well!One thing that left me perturbed, though, was that they displayed a different, higher price for using credit instead of cash. With that said, I did not notice the higher charge at checkout when I used my card.

Ive passed this place a lot in my life, and as I glance through the windows it looks really nice inside. But theres something off about this place, its a little odd. Almost suspect. Kind of suspicious. Theres something... Fishy about it

Generally an amazing selection of cichlids from all regions of the world. The owner Dave is incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. If he is doing tours, be sure to see the basement!

Review №33

Absolutely nothing like it in town. Old school mom and pop shop with their fish and their tanks in excellent shape, well kept after and clean. Super knowledgeable staff and surprisingly fair prices. Youll get ideas from their established tanks in the lobby and you can get your own fish on the sales side. Not much in the way of plants, but the diverse selection of freshwater fish and the walking encyclopedia staff make up for that. I also got a brief show of the basement where they do a lot of their breeding and quarantine and these folks are serious about their craft. Highly recommend you visit the shop.Only thing thats a little odd is the business hours that seem to change often, but after one visit youll be okay with that too.

This is our new favorite fish place, hands down! The fish selection here is unlike any other in the Cleveland or Akron area and the customer service is outstanding! They even engaged with my active 4 yr old and she loves coming to something fishy now. Also follow them on social media! They do lots of updates and offer tons of knowledge online too. Great people!

I like this store a lot. It has a good variety of fresh water fish and supplies, way more than the chain stores and the prices are fair. The fish I received from the were healthy and are doing well in my tank. The display tanks are awesome and if you go on the right day you can get a tour. The owner and employees are knowledgeable and helpful. Dont let the small size fool you this is a good fish store. I drive 30+ minutes to go here.

Review №44

This is by far the best fish store in the area - Great selection, great prices, the owner is friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I will not be back for any more of their products, which is disappointing for me because half of my fish and all of my aquarium supplies have been coming from this store. I just left the store after an hour because despite there only being 2 people in there when I arrived, one of which had many aquarium needs and was being helped for the entire time I was there (no problem here - I completely understand that many times at the fish store you can have a lot of questions and need extra time to be helped). I walked in steps behind the other person who was being helped and after she had been helped wrapped up after about 20 minutes while I waited patiently and picked out the fish I wanted to purchase, I asked for help, received it momentarily until the phone rang and the guy left to answer it and then when he got off he went and helped another customer who had been in the store for maybe 2 minutes. It felt pretty blatant that I obviously wanted to purchase fish and had been waiting for 20/25 minutes and he just went and helped a guy who had essentially just walked in. I waited another half an hour for help, but received none and decided enough was enough and left. Definitely not going back and very disappointed to have been treated like this at a place that I held in such high regard.

I went to Something Fishy because I was having problems with Brown algae in my tank. And all my fish were dying. The owner gave me some instructions and told me to come back in a week. My tank cleared up I took a picture and he checked it out. We gave it another week I went back and purchased some fish which are doing great!! I will never go any place else

Review №53

I feel the need to say that the owners/employees are great at what they do. I have gone to Something Fishy a few times and from my observation, they know what they are talking about. Although the employees may not be the best quote on quote people persons, they do care about their profession, and tell customers the truth. I had frogs and bottom feeders ( purchased from other companies) dying left and right. I went to Something fishy looking for new fish and some guidance. The employee on-shift(dont know his name) wasnt the warmest person I have ever met, but he was knowledgeable and helpful, and cared about the fish he was selling. He also explained to me that bottom feeders like pleckos and catfish,as well as dwarf frogs require a higher protein diet than your standard freshwater fish. I changed the diet and most my fish/frogs thrived...until we bought fish from petsmart and rms that contaminated the whole tank with ich. As an animal lover, I do miss and mourn my lost fish and fogs. As an animal lover, I only plan to purchase fish and frogs from something fishy because I actually trust their judgement.

They were extremely helpful! We were just setting up a new 20 gallon fresh water tank and Adam gave us all the important information that you wouldnt get from a regular pet store. You can tell that they actually care about your tank and not just trying to sell you everything you point at! Plus they will test yoir tank water for you to make sure your water is at the proper levels to keep your fish healthy. We will always go here for our aquarium needs!!

If you are an experienced enthusiast and know exactly what you want this a pretty good place to go. If you go there with questions about anything the guy will not be very helpful. Typically one sentence answers and he makes you feel like you are bothering him. Not the kind of place to help you along on the journey of keeping fish.

Review №81

I stopped into the store while in town for the OCA convention. I was amazed at the number and quality of the fish kept there. This is not your run of the mill fish store - there is a fantastic mix of common to rare species, and fair prices on all of them. The quality of this store is unmatched. I highly recommend it, I will be back at when Im in town
