I have now been a happy customer of Aquatic Jewels for a few months now, and I can honestly say I have continued to go there, and will continue to buy all my salt water marine needs there because they are by far the best around. I’ve purchased fish, crabs, rocks, corals, anemones, supplies and more and I’ve been happy with every purchase made. The staff is always very friendly and also knowledgeable. I highly recommend. Their store setup is also amazing! My sons love going there no matter how many times we’ve been. Two thumbs up!!Here are some pictures of my aquarium that I was able to put together, thanks to Aquatic Jewels.

Friendly welcoming service, with a nice selection of fish/inverts at good prices. The man working there was very helpful and knowledgeable. The best part was that the 3 fish and coral-banded shrimp I bought all survived and are thriving. Highly recommended and will return again.

Awsome place to find fish and full colony corals. They do have frags but carry very nice colonies of corals. Also if you are looking for big fish they always have some of the biggest Ive seen. Knowledge staff and fun to hangout. Keep up the good work guys!

Poor lighting over fish probably on purpose so you can’t see how infested with ich they are. From what I saw they don’t have any sort of quarantine for new shipments they go directly into the tank which causes a lot of issues. I took the risk and bought a fish, when I got home and floated the bag under my lighting I noticed the fish had ich on it’s tail. I brought the fish back within 30mins of buying and the fish hadn’t even left the bag. They deducted 20% but luckily it was a cheap fish. These people have good selection but fight the temptation and buy from somewhere that cares more for their livestock and quarantines like hydra down the street.

They have an amazing selection of all things marine (fish, corals, inverts) as well as tanks, supplies, pumps etc. the staff are awesome and always willing to help, even for the newbies who are just starting their reef tanks. They have helped me tremendously over the years.

Im located in Washington DC and came to FL for a work trip, I stopped by this place before I left back home and choose a few different small pieces. Great selection in the 10$ 20$ and 30$ frag sections. Store employee went out of his way and gave me a styrofoam container for free so I can keep a consistent temperature while flying with the coral. Will defiantly come again next time I am in town.

My favorite Saltwater Fish and Coral shop in South Florida. I’ve been in the hobby for 20 years in South Florida and I’ve Been to them all, no one has the quality fish and collector grade corals like Aquatic Jewels! Owners Mathew & Fidel, along with their staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It’s hard to find a quality coral retailer that can even compare. World Wide Corals like quality and a massive variety of beautiful fish, corals and inverts! If you’re looking for the Top Collector Quality Fish and Corals in South Florida, save yourself time and head over to Aquatic Jewels.

Everytime I buy fish from this place they are dead 24 hours later. Went yesterday bought a diamond golby & 3 purple and yellow athis . Dripped them in my tank for 1 hour . Got home from work today all fish dead. Will not be returning to this store. Tried to give them another chance. Tired of spending money here. When I buy from the other store that I buy from fish dont my tank is a full reef tank . Disappointed once again .

Best local Saltwater aquarium store around with the Largest selection of corals! Friendly staff and good service! When We first went in my husband brought a water sample and wanted to buy a bunch of corals. His water parameters were off and the staff advised him to go get his water parameters right before buying corals. Instead of just selling him a couple hundred dollars in corals that day they got a loyal long term customer!

We are from Miami looking for a great place with knowledge on salt water and I tell you we are glad we found this jewel. Matthew besides reminding us of Jamie Fox has superb customer service and his ref knowledge it was and is worth the drive. His son Logan is awesome, we met another employee there which we totally did not get his name but was very helpful. Kuddos to this place they are an aquatic jewel.

The nicest LFS in ALL OF S. FL!!! I’ve been going to them for about two years and receive the best service and inventory. The owner, Matt, goes above and beyond to meet my needs. He held a fish for me for over three days, refusing many offers, because he’s as good as his word. ️️️️️

Review №31

What the heck happened to this place they used to specialize in African cichlids and other rare freshwater fish now its all way overpriced saltwater fish and coral Im into salt too but theres no way to buy something for my saltwater customers without ripping them off. I would talk anyone out of starting up a saltwater aquarium at these prices you HAVE to be a millionaire.

Review №32

We discovered Aquatic Jewels a few months ago when we first started our tank, and so glad we did! Most of the time Matt is working when we come and he is like a walking encyclopedia! You can tell he’s been around tanks for a long time, always has answers to our questions and is beyond helpful and seems happy to help! All of our fish and corals from here have been thriving... the only negative comment I can leave is that the store always makes me want to upgrade to a bigger tank long story short, great store ran by great people!

Great place to get your tank going. The people here tend to your needs and help in anyway and if they dont know the answer they wont give you a fake one. These people have ordered things I asked for they didnt have to accommodate his customer. All ways has Saltwater and R/O those who dont know will after visiting this well rounded shop with a great selection of Corals and Fish.

Today was my first visit to Aquatic Jewels & so pleased that I came! Matt & Jon were so nice & helpful! Compared to other places Ive been to they had a large selection of corals & the prices were fair. Plus, you can sign up for an awards program & contact to their app! Very state of the art! I will definitely be back!

Great selection of healthy looking corals. Friendly staff, good prices but I wish the prices were displayed on the glass vs having to ask the staff. I think it would help the customer select various pieces within their price range or budget.

Review №36

*New location* Poor customer service, employees dont acknowledge your presence. When you ask they give you half the answer. Floor is always wet with no caution sign, the store is small and full of hoses making it harder to walk. Prices are not that great, the only good thing is the corals selection.

Pros: The set up is Nicer than it was in the old locationCon: Set up is a little unorganizedPro: Always a nice set up of coralsCon: Not enough fishFinally I came into the store on Sunday, driving in from Miramar West, because I loved their corals and options before in the old location. Unfortunately, when I walked in, though I was greeted, no one came up to me to see how they can help me, to ask if it were my first time at the new location, what kind of tank I had, or what I was looking for.I was walking around the shop for about 15 minutes, and though the set up was nice, I didnt know prices on anything, nor was I offered any.Finally when I left, it wasnt until I had a foot out the door that someone said have a good day.This is what happens when the owner of the location is not present. Maybe he was off on Sunday, but not sure if it was worth my 35 minute drive to find outI gave 3 stars because I know that this place could be so much better. Train your team to be better representatives of your shop.

I was there a few weeks ago and was amazed at their selection in exotic corals. They had great prices on the less pricey corals as well. By far the best lfs in south Florida. Id like to add that the guy that helped us was very nice, knowledgeable, and was definitely promoting the business and its discount rates.

A lot of a wide variety of corals, invertebrates, and fish. The owner Matt has natural charm and allows you to observe without feeling pressured to purchase anything. In addition if you have an item your specifically looking for, Matt will make sure to ordered it for you ASAP

These guys have been incredibly helpful since my fiancé and I moved down. We have set up a 75 gallon tank with their help, and had fantastic luck with corals.The store is as clean as you can expect an active fish store to be, very tightly packed as well, but the fish dont show signs of overcrowding like what Ive seen in other stores in south Florida.I highly recommend this place. Matt and Rob are super nice and knowledgeable about what tanks need and what goes together.

This store has been around for quite a while, and I admit that it used to be so-so in terms of cleanliness and fish health. Im happy to say that as of November 2014, they have seriously changed their game and turned the place around. I recently revisited the store and was extremely pleased with the overall look of the shop, the cleanliness of the fish holding bins, and the nice new filtration systems. Fish no longer look like career criminals in a maximum security prison -- theyre out, active, and all appear very happy. And to top it all off, livestock prices are extremely reasonable and they have a nice selection of dry goods in stock. I will be coming back here more often now. Definitely recommended.

Its a small aquarium shop, which I happen to like at times. But this shop is so so. Not to be any negative against them I havent really gotten anything from them or had any bad experiences there but I really dont see any great things there either. They do have a mangrove growing in the front display tank which is a cool thing...... But honestly thats about it, the corals and the fish that they sell there I can get him another places & the equipment saw the same everywhere too same as a live rock which is around $6 And thats everywhere. I go to alot of aquarium shops from Lake Worth all the way down to Hollywood. Sorry, I just dont see a big deal in this shop. Ive seen better and cleaner!
