I love this store and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful but they don’t wear masks during this pandemic so I will be going to Aquarium on Papermill where they take their guest health seriously.This is America and they have the freedom not to wear them but they aren’t free from the consequences
Beautiful displays! Well stocked! Great selection! The staff went out of their way to greet me and make me feel welcome. They took their time helping me and they are a wealth of knowledge! A hidden gem!
First time in the store and I loved it! Nice selection of both freshwater and saltwater. The staff was very helpful and made me feel welcome. Fish were healthy and well cared for. I will be back!
BEST STORE IN KNOXVILLE! Fantastic selection of products and great priced corals (even some HUGE colonies). Unbeatable service.
All staff was friendly, outgoing, and attentive. Answered questions, very knowledgeable. Also met the owner and he was kind. They have a large collection of coral and live rock. They also sell salt water and RO and couple others. This is my new favorite place. Had a bad experience at another local store. This store here gives me hope there is still great stores out there. Love it! Even if you dont have a aquarium this place is worth a stop.
Visited from out of town, and the staff and owner were incredibly friendly and made sure I had everything I needed to keep my coral healthy.The quality and pricing for the coral was absolutely fantastic. Very clean tanks and healthy fish. Will be looking forward to my next visit!
This store is absolutely amazing! It has friendly, patient, and knowledgeable staff, healthy yet diverse fish, and amazing prices! Ever since the new owner took over, this place has been better than ever, even when youre hard to please, like me.
They are super nice.. love love love the new owners... they have really fixed up the place and unlike the other ppl that worked there they acknowledge you and are just sitting on their phones.
Good customer service owner will tell you what you need to know about your fish. Also will help you figure out what type you want and good for you. Also ask him about his tank Beautiful tank! Very well worth to stop in
This is our go to aquatic store! They have an awesome setup, beautiful fish, really luscious live plants, and excellent customer service. We love dealing with Isaac! He is beyond knowledgable about aquatic life and has been so much help! We have been building live aquariums and all natural habitats, and we couldnt be more satisfied. We visit weekly!
This is the place to go to if you want helpful, friendly service. Being a Knoxville local, this is the first place I check when I want something. Their prices are anywhere from average to amazing on livestock. Check them out, youll be glad you did!
We love this place!! We always get very personal attention and help with any of the problems our fish tanks have ever encountered. I love that this is place is locally owned. Each time we go, there is new stuff. Never a bad visit.
Great shop! Fast and friendly service, great selection, and really high quality fish. My AmEx card was not working, so they discounted me enough that I could pay with what little cash I had on hand.
Dont miss the turn in to the store! Large selection of fish and equipment etc. Staff seem very knowledgeable and friendly. I will be going back!
First visit was today very helpful will definitely be back!
We We’re passing through town and decided to stop by, ended up with beautiful fish. The owner was incredibly nice and gifted us an instillation box for the road. Will definitely stop by next time.
Great variety of fish & friendly staff.
The best place for fish...better and about all others in the area. Craig
I love this store. Has the most friendly staff around very helpful with anything aquarium related.Go check them out, it won’t be a disappointment
New owners. Store beautifully redone. Great selection . Very helpful friendly customer service
Very nice people, wonderful and knowledgeable service, clean well provisioned store. Great to have them in North Knoxville!
Extremely helpful and friendly. Good prices too!
I really love the new owners of the store, they are very friendly and helpful. Also they go out of their way to help you in any way they can. I will not go anywhere else for any thing I need. I am customer for life. THAKS SO MUCH.
Beautiful setup, great variety and awesome staff! My new favorite place.
Great service with helpful staff. They had everything we needed for our aquarium and then some!!!
I have been going here for about 4 years now. They recently changed ownership which worried me a bit, but I am glad to say it was very much for the better. Their livestock looks better, the tanks are cleaner and well kept. Just overall great shop with knowledgeable staff.
They have upgraded the store and you can tell. They are going to give that fish store behind the bookstore a run for their money. I can tell.
We had a great experience at Aquatic Marine today! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the process of us finding new fish. We had an ick plague our tank a few weeks ago, and many of the fish we bought at another store died. The owner (who was running the front counter) at Aquatic Marine was able to help guide us on revamping and healing our tank. We can’t wait to go back to find new friends!
Great deal on lights! Very friendly and wide selection! Would recommend!
The staff there were very kind, and they had a great selection of not only marine fish but freshwater fish and plants as well. They also had stunning coral tanks. This place will be one of my go-to’s whenever I am in need of supplies if I’m in the Clinton highway area.
A very nice place to visit very friendly people and a very Beautiful fish... Thank you Kenny for taking the time to talk to us and being so nice and friendly we definitely will be back to see you all. Thanks again. Jayme
Mom and Pop fish store had everything I needed reasonable
Issac and Kinny are awesome!! Im a first-time aquarium owner and they helped me through all the steps for my Fluval Vista 23 gallon aquarium. They helped me pick out the Aquascape, the substrate the plants the fish everything. I highly recommend coming here for new and experienced aquarium enthusiasts.
Good selection and prices of aquariums and supplies. Staff was friendly. Fish did not look healthy.
My very first time shopping for freshwater fish and food/aquarium products at this particular aquatic store and they definitely have a lifetime customer! The younger dark headed gentlemen was very knowledgeable about freshwater fish and patiently answered every question I had and gave me some great tips! I highly recommend Aquatic Marine for ALL your fish/aquarium needs! Great atmosphere and super professional & very helpful!! I am one happy customer !!
Newly remodeled great looking store! The staff and owner are very knowledgeable and helpful!
Very knowledgeable and great selection. I don’t get fish from anywhere else. Great people and great store
Knowledgeable staff along with a great selection of fresh water and saltwater fish and plants.
Amazing people, very knowledgeable and polite. Tanks are clean and fish look healthy. Will absolutely be our go to shop when we are in the area.
This place has knowledgeable and friendly staff with clean, well taken care of tanks.
Recently renovated. Much better layout. Decent selection of fish. They have both fresh and saltwater fish. Friendly and knowledgeable..
The owner has been absolutely amazing, along with the one employee I can’t remember his name but he deals with the axolotls. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning in the near future.
Love this place! They are so nice and helpful plus amazing fish for good prices
Every time I walk in the store I am always politely greeted by a worker who stops what they are working on to come over and talk to me and help me find what I need. They always like talking to me and give the best deals around. If you have any problems with you fish tank freshwater or saltwater they will help you with it all. This is my favorite store.
Under new ownership and updating the entire store. New owner is super nice and extremely knowledgeable. Prices seems to be competitive. He has a great selection of nice corals and is adding more as construction allows.
Under new ownership and absolutely a wonderful place to visit! The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable, theyre continuing to get more stock in, and they seem to care for their fish and supplies. Its also really helpful that they sell second-hand tanks and supplies along with new. The products are trusted names in the aquatic industry and theres a decent selection of items. Definitely would recommend this local store over any of the big pet stores.
I am new to the reef tank hobby and the people at Aquatic Marine have been nothing but friendly and helpful in assisting me in getting started. I picked up my first tank shortly after ownership changed hands and even during all of their work to resituate the store theyve taken the time to educate me on the subject and assist me in doing everything correctly.I couldnt recommend them more and as long as I am in Knoxville I will keep coming back.
Awesome store. The fish are much healthier here than the box stores. Its run by people who know what they are doing.
Very friendly, informative staff. They are always ready to help you with whatever you need. Great prices & deals a majority of the time.
The new owners are very kind and helpful. Will definitely go back.
Excellent selection of fish.
Amazing selection and great customer service
Great staff and very knowledgeable.
Staff and owner are very nice and are helpful/knowledgeable
The workers have been very helpful every time ive gone, if i have a problem with my tank they take time to explain everything and all my options to fix it, they make sure the fish are taken care of and they are very knowedgeable on the tanks and animals unlike a lot of petstores. They have a wide selection of fish and aquatic animals and plants, and they have made it easy for me as a beginner with tanks to understand the care and make sure my tank is doing good if I come in with a problem.
I frequented this business for quite some time, however I will no longer. The former staff were much more knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend shopping elsewhere.
I work out of town a lot and always visit the local Fish store to see what they have. Went into Kenny’s store and was Impressed awesome prices and great staff and customer service!!
So I recently purchased a flagfin angelfish from this store and unfortunately it died within 6 days of the purchase. The store has a warranty on fish for 7 days and you must bring the fish in along with a water sample. So after the water test they performed my nitrates were showing a bit high with the salinity being low which is not a big deal. However with the parameters being off they would not guarantee the purchase. I find this frustrating for several reasons. One yes the nitrates were high because the fish was not eating and I had to overfeed the tank in order to figure out what foods the fish would take but it didnt take any and starved to death. Number 2 this specimen diet consists of sponges and I asked them if they could order me some sponges and they never did, so I find them to blame in this as well. Number 3 they sell fish they receive from their supplier the same day they receive them without quarantining them and holding them for a few days. The Aquarium at Papermill places fish in a holding system for several days and will not sale them until the process is completed and offers a 14 day guarantee as does the Coral Reef. Even most online retailers offer a 14 day guarantee on purchases. I believe its good to support your local fish stores but this store does not support its customers in my opinion. Of course this is my opinion others have had good experiences with them. They do have a great deal of aquarium supplies and I like that but I would be very reluctant to purchase any livestock from them in the future. Maybe things change in the future and there is a better customer support base. I would use extreme caution to purchase fish from any store that does not quarantine and hold fish and only offers a 7 day warranty.
Kinny & the entire team are wonderful. They will make sure you get whatever you need. They answer questions, respectfully no matter how seasoned to the hobby you are.
Went and purchased $60 worth of fish and the lady helping was nice but failed to mention that half the fish I bought that she helped me pick out would out grow my current tank size which i disclosed at the begining. Plus the Dwarf frog I bought died bc my tank is to large for it and she failed to mention that too. Now I have a quite large common pleco and a bala shark in a 55 gal that soon Im not gonna know what to do with. I will say their selection was nice so I recommend doing your research prior to picking out your fish.
Friendly and helpful staff. Nice aquarium. Currently remodeling, looking forward for what they gonna have there in future.
The new owner was very friendly, helpful and gave good advice.
Great place to get your fresh water plants and fish. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices.
Kenny and the staff here are great. Good prices, great coral, better people.
New ownership has made this a place worth going to again
Enjoyed shopping the well stocked freshwater fish selection of healthy fish! Customer service was spot on! They even have the Project Piaba Rainforest Conservation Aquarium Kit featured in Amazonas Magazine!
Always great service and great prices. My go to fish store!
We have been going here for years. Great stock and prices. Jake is great. Very patient, and honest, not just trying to sell you something. We are impressed by his exceptional customer service, as well as his knowledge of all different varieties of fish and corals. We highly recommend this place.
New ownership has really brought this store to the next level.Edit: After COVID I decided to no longer shop here. Staff can be rude and they refuse to wear mask
Great owners! Clean tanks!
Tons of dry goods, coral, and fish. Staff is super friendly and knowledgable. If they don’t have what you need, just ask, they will find a way to get it. Im not a freshwater guy, but if you are, they definitely have a big selection of everything freshwater too.
Expert people, not condescending to the novelist.great atmosphere, very willing to help or let you browse...JZ
Friendly staff, low inventory.
I love this store every time I go in and gets better!!!!!
Workers were friendly. Good selection of fish.
Fantastic new owners. Loved it before love it now.
Kenny and his whole crew are the best!!! My fish fam!!! thanks guys!!
Fantastic place to look around. Very friendly people running the place.
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, nice collection of things, and decent prices.
Most helpful staff. Bought 4 cory cats and 1 platy. Good prices! Will buy more.
Kind of a small place, but competitive pricing compared to other locations and still manages to carry a good variety of freshwater, saltwater and planted aquarium supplies. The staff was very friendly.
Love these guys been here several time an always buy from them! Great selection and good prices! And knows their stuff thanks!
Very nice store. Allan and I went back to the store today. New owners, extremely knowledgeable staff. The owner was at the store again extremely knowledgeable and helpful. One employee, can not remember his name answered all of Allans questions regarding our aquarium. We will be back.
Jake went above and beyond to help me even after I explained to him that I was just window shopping and only needed information. As long as Jake is at this location I cant see any reason to go anywhere else. 5 star experience!!!!!
New exactly what my tank needed to remove copper elements as well as best sand sifter goby!!! Very helpful
Be careful, and definitely quarantined any fish you would purchase here.But go save a life.
Great! New owner..looks awesome!
This is the best aquarium store in town, hands down- Ive been to all of them and none even compare. The prices on tanks and equipment here are great, and Jake and Taybra are both knowledgeable enough to answer even advanced questions while also being patient with beginners. They are budget-cognizant and will never pressure you into buying things you dont need.As far as livestock, the store carries a large selection of many types of coral and can frag pieces off for you if you ask. They carry as many fish as anywhere else in Knoxville and if you know what you want, and it isnt in stock, they will order it for you in a timely manner. The fish I have purchased from here have always been in good health and never brought any parasites or other maladies into my tank.Dont go anywhere else for aquarium shopping in Knoxville. These are great people, fair prices, and high quality inventory. If you dont believe me, look at their 1200 gallon(!) show tank.
Love this place very informative
I was so disappointed with the care of your betta fish. One was in a little cube near the register. He had maybe an inch of water and was covered in so much algae.. I brought him home and he is also quite skinny. Even a clean cup would have been better than that mess...
Aquatic Marine had exactly what I needed. I found a mini heater for my Betta after a two day search! Thank you Aquatic Marine!
Very friendly and knowledgable.
First time in this place. Loved it and will be going back many times.
Great person Mr KEN
