What a lovely store! When we walked in we were greeted with smiles and friendly staff. As we have no real knowledge of fishkeeping, it was great to have someone help us out and have so much knowledge and advice. (I forgot your name, a young guy-but thank you so much!) We came home with our first fish and will be back to add to our tank in the next few weeks. Awesome!!!
This store has the best selection of fish and coral. Everything is for sale
A large man followed my wife around the entire time she was there. She reported to the front desk and they responded “yeah that’s parrot Pete. That’s his job.” My wife described him as a 6’4, long and skinny, grey scaly skin, huge head, with 3 fingers and toes on each hand/foot. He did not talk and just made slurping noises. Kinda like an Ali.....omfg they have a real life FREAKING alien here!!! 1 Star. Do not like ETs.
Parrott Aquatic is by far your best choice for help with all your Salt Water Aquarium needs in the Knoxville and surrounding East TN area. If you have a Reef Tank or a Fish only tank they will help you and can provide anything you need and will give you the Best Customer Service experience you could ask for. Kinny and Josh and their support staff can help with anything you need regardless of how complex or difficult it may be. I’ve been in the hobby for years and I finally had Kinny and his team help me with things that have become difficult now for me. They stepped right in and have exceeded all my expectations to the point that I use them on a regular basis now. They can provide Live Fish and Corals, Supplies, New Equipment and even have used equipment that can save you a bunch of money too. Where Parrott Aquatic really excels is their ability to service you at your home or business. They can Design, Install, Move, or Maintain anything you need. I’m very picky on how everything is setup and it has to look clean, labeled, and organized properly or I am not happy. Josh came in and got me taken care of quickly and changed some things around that have made my life much easier and more organized with my regular weekly maintenance. These changes have made a real difference on how my tank looks now and save me a ton of time. They have been in the business for years and they know what works and what doesn’t. They stay up to date on any new advancement in the hobby too because it’s always changing. The best thing is they’ll help you do all of this for a fair price. As you know this can be an expensive hobby and Kinny and crew will be honest and lead you in the direction for your success and needs. Your wallet won’t feel empty and leave you feeling like you spent a bunch of money and don’t have anything to enjoy and show for it. If you are looking for great Salt Water aquarium products and support look no further than these folks they have it all.
“Not good” according to my 13 year old step-son. The weirdest part was that it only cost $5 to enter and the aquarium was located within the apartment of a 34 year old man with no roommates. It was insisted upon me that he would be “taken care of”. Didn’t think anything of it (since he is my least favorite out of my 5 stepchildren), but low and behold, I now have to pay for therapy!! Thanks, Parrott Aquatic, for ruining everything!
Absolutely...no question...the best investment I have made for my sanctuary (my home). Josh and Kinny are amazing, hard-working, and REALLY, REALLY care. We are now discussing my THIRD aquarium...Their workmanship is awesome; their work is awesome; they are awesome. They take my eclectic ideas and make them a reality...I wish I could give them more stars...Jane Fixter
This place is amazing. Kenny is very knowledgeable and super pro customer service. His selection is impeccable and the cleanest I have seen in the state. They also have traded in tanks that are in great condition. It is very clear that they take pride in their business and I highly recommend this place.
Exceeded my expectations!!! So glad I had them set up my tank! I have dealt with other companies before but none of them can compare to the level of expertise and quality that Kinny and Josh (Parrott Aquatics) achieved!It is obvious that they are proficient and take pride in the quality of their work and the services they offer.Thank you for a job well done!! I will not hesitate to employ them again!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Parrott Aquatic is top notch, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable of aquatic life. I highly recommend!
Super helpful, friendly, and very informative. They will always guide you to do what is right for your tank instead of what you will spend the most money on. Fantastic selection of corals.
Very knowledgeable staff with beautiful corals at great prices. Highly recommend Parrott Aquatic!
These wonderful guys came by on short notice to move a 330 gallon tank for me down in Chattanooga. I would recommend them 100x over. The whole Parrott crew was exceptionally professional and far more careful with my tank than I am!
Visited for the first time today and was not disappointed at all! Owner and his wife were beyond kind and helpful! All fish and coral frags were healthy. Prices can’t be beat. Owner is very knowledgeable and expressed interest in my tanks. My daughters loved the shark tank! Overall, this is such a family oriented business and will have my business from now on.
So glad we stumbled upon this place..everyone is so nice and helpful. They took the time to answer all our questions(and we had a lot)..they have beautiful corals and fish at great prices and were happy to make us great deals on quite a few things..I highly recommend parrott aquatics
These guys are absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, experienced, reliable, friendly, fair with all prices, and eager to help everyone in the reefing and fish keeping community.....what more could you want??? They can help you build the tank of your dreams, take care of tank maintenance that you may not have the spare time for, or help you out in the case of a tank emergency. Ive bought everything from a full tank setup to a single fish from Parrott Aquatic and I always walk away smiling. I cant say enough good things about Kinny and his team!
I love this place! The owner is extremely nice and knows exactly what he’s doing. We went there today because I’m starting my new tank and he knew exactly what to put for starters so that nothing will die. He prices were great and the service was even better. Will definitely be coming back as my tank grows.
These are great people go see them
By far the beat aquarium store I’ve been to had every thing I could want
Great group of individuals. Would recommend to anyone. Kenny is one of the best aquatic individuals Ive ever met. Cant wait to do more business with him.
Kinny and his team are by far the most amazing people to work with! There is absolutely no other place that can perform their services with the professionalism, knowledge and friendliness that they can! We had such a great experience working with Parrot Aquatics and we are looking forward to working with them more! For all your aquarium needs Parrott Aquatics is the team you need to call!
Parrot Aquatic moved our 200 gallon saltwater tank out of our house to its new owner. Kenny and his crew were courteous and careful while working in our house. They were very professional and showed up on time, prepared to do the job. They took every precaution to make sure the tank and the livestock was taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!
A great place for your saltwater needs ! Kinny is always helpful and friendly!
Kenny is so friendly and helpful. Love the stuff we buy from him. Great coral.
Very friendly and personable!!! These guys will do anything to get the help you need for your aquarium!! They are excellent at what they do!!!
I just had them move, repair, and install a 125 gallon coral tank and at every turn (and surprise) in the project they were professional, timely, friendly, understanding, and informative. Being new to the hobby, they gave me tons of information without being condescending, as well as being very generous with their time and assistance. They are the best kept secret in Knoxville. Thank you all so very much!
Went to get a filter off kinney drove 150 miles walked away with two fx6s then walked into a amazing fish shop very nice every thing for salt water and more he sets up fresh and salt water tanks cant say Ive seen better set up need to check him out filters working great thanks so much most likely to be driven 150 again soon
I picked up a nice 120 gallon used tank at a great price. When I said picked up, I mean they delivered it (for a small fee). Kenny is very personable and genuinely cares about marine life. The two Joshes who delivered the tank were professional and friendly, even offering advice on my current reef tank and ideas for the new one as well.
Really enjoyed visiting and shopping with Parrott Aquatic. I’m very happy with the livestock and corals I purchased and looking forward to getting back to buy more. Very friendly and family atmosphere at his shop my kids enjoyed looking at the large shark tank setup that was there.
The only place we will shop. They have helped me with everything from cleaning my large 180g tank to moving it. Everything was done professionally and was perfect! Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to get into the saltwater hobby, they will tell you what you need and also what you don’t. They have never tried to sell me more than what I needed and have always given me so much info!!
Knowledgeable team with great recommendations for keeping my aquarium healthy and vibrant! The staff is very friendly and helpful.Great selection of Corals from healthy, clean aquariums.Its been Great to do business with Parrott Aquatic! I highly recommend their services and products.
It began with sitting down with Kinny n drafting what my dream tank would be. Then we went from concept to planning, designing and then making my dreams a reality. I highly recommend Parrot Aquatic.
Stopped by there on the way home. Beautiful tanks that are well maintained. This is my go to place for all of my saltwater livestock and coral. Ill be back soon
This is the most knowledgeable person who goes above an beyond to do anything he can to get you on the right track to a beautiful salt water aquarium he will shoot you straight every time
These guys are awesome! On time every service. Our tank has improved so much over the last 6 months. Really appreciate the quality they bring in our home! Thank you!
I would highly recommend Parrott Aquatic. They moved our 500 gallon tank into our house. They arrived on time and got the job done quickly. They are very professional and knowledgeable.
Awesome as usual!
Parrot Aquatic cleaned and revamped my filter system on a 150 gallon tank holding aquatic turtles. When they were finished the tank was crystal clear! They also installed an overflow valve to prevent any problems if the filter stopped working in a power outage, which was my biggest fear. They were very professional and great to work with. I will use them from this point forward. ️.
Talk about quality of coral and clean tanks. These guys know how to run a shop. No BS when it comes to pricing or quality of coral.If youre in the market for more than a classic LFS quality coral, Parrott is the place to go.
The absolute best service! Josh came to our house and gave us an education. Will be a regular customer. So glad I made the call as a new saltwater owner. Really took the guesswork out of am I doing this right?
Great place for advice, livestock, supplies, and maintenance.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff!!
This is my favorite saltwater fish, equipment (both used and new), and coral supplier! Kenney is knowledgeable and honest! Ive never had a problem from anything Ive bought from him, but I know if I did, hed be happy to fix it! He takes the time to answer any questions I have, even if its not related to something he sold me! Definitely stop by his shop before making your next big purchase! He always has a good supply of used equipment in!
Just come in to browse and tanks are pristine fish looked extremely fat and healthy. Not to mention the corals beautifully colored and heathy. Will be back with all my needs.
My tank wouldnt be half of what it is today without Kinny & Parrot Aquatics! The selection of fish is pretty comparable to the other aquarium stores in Knoxville, but where Parrot really shines is the corals & the friendly service. Theres not even a close second anywhere around. Not only do the corals look much healthier, theres a wider variety, & at a better price too!If youre brand new to the hobby, this is a must-visit place! Not only can you get your tank running without paying as much, you can rest easy knowing youre getting great advice. Even if youve had your tank running for 10 years, its worth a visit. Itll be hard to leave without a beautiful, new addition for your tank.
Owner was very nice and helped me find everything I needed for my nano reef. He made great recommendations on types of corals that would accent the current ones without upselling. He also saved me money by suggesting a better food for the type of corals I have instead of the mix I was using. The information given by owner was hundreds of times more valuable than I ever received.
I gave Kinny 5 stars for a reason. Because thats the service i received. Great guy and great prices! I believe hes found a lifetime customer right here! Thanks alot Parrot Aquatics!
Wonderful family owned business!
My favorite place to go best prices best help if needed always something new a must go to kinda place will always recommend
Very helpful and fair pricing!
Great place to do business will definitely be backlots off really nice coral and very friendly service
These guys will go above and beyond any customer service u have experienced before. They can get anything u could ever need for ur aquarium needs, but most of all its more like going through a good friend to get what u need rather than all about how they can make the most amount of money.. They have went above and beyond for me when setting up first 2 reef tanks whether it was supplying me a great selection of live rock for a better price than anywhere else or ordering something that know one else had at an affordable price. Also the knowledge I was given and the connections I have made through them. These guys will do whatever u need them to.
Always goes the extra mile.Will recommend to anyone needing help with your saltwater needs.
Thanks for the install, plumbing, corals, and livestock on our 220 gallon and 330 gallon tanks, you guys are awesome!
Parrott Aquatic is the American Spirit. A hard working, family of entroponuers who are passionate about what they do. The second time I met Kinny was at 830 at night. He just got back from working all day on a tank build for a customer. I walked up and he was disecting a fish that had died. A customer had bought a fish from him and he wanted to find out why it died. Not because he had to issue a store credit, because he was genuinely concerned about the customers tank. Everything turned out ok, but you dont find many companys that care enough to go that extra mile. Parrott Aquatic is the first place I call for all my aquatic needs.
So I woke up this morning with a leaking sump and in a panic. Called these guys at 8 in the morning and within 5 minutes had me one ready to pick up and get back on track. Ive never in my life dealt with customer service like that. 5 stars anyday. Seriously my go to fish and aquarium professionals.
Great prices, awesome service,and very helpful,and understanding,
No matter what this company always ensures you are happy. Kinny and Josh are thr best.I have delt with a lot of saltwater companies over the years.The small ones are always the best for many reasons.This one is no exception.They may not stock what u want, but can get anything! Small business America is what is all about!It just doesnt get any better thsn these guys!Thanks again ! See you next time! :)
Great prices and great people.
Parrott Aquatic goes above and beyond to meet all of their customers needs from fish and corals to tanks, stands, and equipment.
