Didnt expect to see the elaborate setups of all the tanks and the giant island thats also multiple tanks. That said, for all of the tanks available, the selection was good but could have been better as 33% of the tanks were bare or empty. Nonetheless I found the specific, hard to find fish I was looking for. This is the only reason I didnt give 5 stars. Staff seemed to be well educated.
Very helpful store. Great selection. Decent price.
Nice folks with a large variety of tropical and saltwater fish. Lots of plants, coral and other natural ornamentals. You can also get fresh or salt water for your aquarium in 5 gallon jugs.
Very nice aquarium store with knowledge employees and a rather big location with a good selection. Definitely a good to place for your fish needs
Always a great experience when I visit. Great customer service and very knowledgeable.
Great aquarium shop I have been to and purchased from. Zero issues with the fish I have bought and understand that getting the array of fish types in is challenging right now. But today what I didnt care for was seeing heavy algae growth on some sponge filters. Some sponge filters were coming off the intakes. Then there was the blue green algae bloom in the plant tank that looked to have been there for a while. Blue green algae was growing on several plants. Hopefully this is just a hiccup because its a great store. All store have issues arise the good ones should notice it and have it address quickly. I have no intentions to stop going and hope next time through every looks a good as it can be
Great selection on everything fish wise. Very helpful staff
This is an amazing place, they know their stuff. I will not go anywhere else! Staff is friendly and the owner is to. You will love going to this store!
Best fish store on town. Fish, coral and most importantly the service is always on point
Have different exotic fish both salt and fresh water. Excellent customer service. Will be back for all fish needs
Very clean and friendly ! Fish are great quality and the staff is very knowledgeable. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
Love coming here. There is always random oddballs species here that are not normally found at other fish stores.
Awful customer service. Guy that answered phone has a real attitude problem.
This store has a wide variety of species and supplies, however I didn’t feel comfortable purchasing fish here because in every single tank the fish were pale and visibly stressed. The guppies in particular were covered in ich and had not been marked NFS to quarantine.
Nice and clean several different kinds of fish
Awesome place to buy exotic fish. Mostly geared to saltwater but his freshwater is always healthy..owner is abolutely the friendlest in the hobby...
Always a great visit friendly staff. Lots of variety to choose from. Tanks are clean and cant wait to see the monster tank that being built get completed.
Excellent customer service, huge selection of fish, lovely place
Came to visit That Aquarium Place for the third time today, and for the third time left pretty disappointed. I have heard almost nothing but great things about this place, but have yet to have a great experience here myself.Prices for freshwater community fishes and cichlids, especially African peacocks and discus, are great! And saltwater coral selection is good too, but where I find the most lacking is that often fish are not identified on tanks they are in, or a fish name may be written on a tank when in reality, that fish is no longer available. Several times, there were also tanks with species in them that are clearly not those listed to be in said tank. The TV monitors that list stock in each section were also not always up-to-date, so I might get my hopes up for a rare species to then find that it is unavailable.The tanks are quite small, which really limits the amount of any species that can be available.When asked if I needed help with anything, I politely said that I was just looking; however, when I did need help, I felt avoided. Customer service was also a bit lacking, in that one employee was unable to identify a species that I inquired about, and left to get help, although they quickly moved on to help others in the saltwater section and help never came.I hope that your experience is better than mine.
Good selection, very helpful and friendly staff. Only caveat is that after I pointed out a couple of tanks that had ich, they agreed, but didnt mark them as not for sale. Makes me leery of buying from other tanks. Diseases and infections happen, its part of it, but those fish should be marked NFS and be treated as to not sell them to a different unaware customer. I see this often in fish stores. Makes me wonder if its not a ploy for the customer to have to return and buy medicine from them.
Good guys! Honest. Will definitely take care of you.
This place is seriously awesome. Full of super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Very friendly and they know their stuff. I highly recommend anyone go there
Nice revolving selection of healthy corals and salt and fresh water fish and plants. Jamal the owner is super friendly and knowledgeable and so is his staff. Im a regular and will continue to be so.
Solid advice from the owner of maintaining a reef or freshwater aquarium...
Awesome place to get all your fish and aquarium related needs. They have anything you would want and if they dont, the owner will work with you to try to get you what you need. They built my current 120 gallon saltwater setup and I could not be happier with my tank. Jamal got me everything I needed at a lower cost than most other places. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place. Ive attached some pictures of my tank setup.
Beautiful new store! Great selection of salt and fresh fish. Corals seem very happy (opened up and vibrant). You have to wait your turn to speak with Jamal, but then you get his undivided attention.
The owner is the best and so is his staff.
If you are a fish enthusiasts or just a beginner, That Aquarium Place is a great place for fish; to their knowledge staff, friendly service and great pricing. They have a large variety of fresh/salt water fish, tank accessories as well as fish food. This store is really nice to shop because they care about fish and keeping their customers happy.
Awesome store great staff the owner is very friendly treats you as hes know you his whole life, has best deals in town on nice clean pest free corals. He even held onto coral I sold to somebody else to pick up later that day. If you havent been to the new store yet its a must !
Best shop out there.
Super nice folks! Very knowledgeable, friendly, conversational. Very clean and well-organized place! I am very pleased with the fish I bought on their recs ... resulted in a happy and thriving tank.
Great fish store! Although it might be a bit rough around the edges, the service and variety is top notch. We were immediately greeted by the employees and got all our questions answered within minutes. If you are looking for fish that are too exotic for big chain, this place will have them. This is a very well recommended place.
TAP may just be the best aquarium store on the face of the planet. Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but it is the best in the Greater Houston Area. Jamal is highly knowledgeable and is always incredibly helpful. TAP has an incredible selection of fish, corals, live plants and any supplies you can think of for fresh and saltwater. This really is a 5 star establishment, dont listen to the lady that felt the need to bring race into her 1 star review.
This place does not look like anything you see in the pictures. It was quite depressing because all of the fish were dying and to add on top of that nobody knew anything. I asked one of the guys who worked there how long he had to train for this job and he said “not much!” Also, if you are looking for tanks or lighting this is not the place for you. They only have dying fish if you are interested.
Always a pleasant experience! Staff and owner are very friendly and always try and help out. Amazing fish selection and very good prices. I dont know much about saltwater, but they have a ton of awesome looking coral as well.
By far the best aquarium store in the business, I cannot go on enough about Jamal (owner) and morgan, they have helped me throughout everything start to finish, top to bottom. Any question comment or concern they walk me through and nullify my fears. I have a beautiful 65 gallon showcase saltwater aquarium thanks to Jamal and everyone at that aquarium place Id give 10 stars if I could, great selection, great deals, amazing service!
I have been going to this store for years. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great selection of fresh and saltwater fish with all the accessories. I highly recommend them for any of your aquarium needs.
Friendly and good selection
Anise is the nicest store owner there is - goes out of his way to help you out and educate you on your purchase and also stocks anything that you’re looking for that they don’t have. Love this place!
Out of the way not around a bunch of shopping mall clutter, more like a small town businessAnd alot of tropical fresh and salt water species to choose from.
Amazing fish store amazing help they always have cool fish and always seem to bring in something different every time I come I personally drive from 2 hours away just to come to this store Im always left impressed
Jamal is awesome, this is my favorite aquarium shop that Ive been to. The displays are amazing and the customer service is friendly almost like youre part of the family!
Great place. They were closed and they gave my son turtle food. We couldnt believe how nice they were. Thank you so much.
Amazing place, they helped me and gave me good advise. The place its well organized
Very Nice Establishment!!! Neat; Organized and Very Friendly People!! Probably the best aquarium and fish store Ive ever been to!!!
Great place to do business at! Owners and mrgs are very nice! No issues what so ever, they make me feel so comfortable when I shop at the store.
One of the best fish stores I’ve ever visited. The owner is super friendly and helpful. Great selection of both salt and freshwater.
This is a clean operation. The tanks, fish, and plants are well taken care of.Jamal is a pleasant person. Very easy to deal with. Id go to this place for my aquarium needs.
I go here regularly and Anise along with the whole staff is friendly, approachable and helpful. Fish are healthy and the coral selection is endless. I highly recommend this place and is well worth the drive.
The Owner and staff are very helpful and passionate about what they do.. If you have any questions they can most likely answer them to your hearts content. Great place for all of your aquarium needs, AND they just moved locations to a much nicer storefront!
Showed up at 6:54. I was told by the staff that they were starting to close and offered no assistance as all three of them stood behind county talking and laughing. Very unprofessional.
Amazing staff and knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend.
Anise is a genius. And hes great. So theres that.
Clean, organized with attentive and helpful people to help and advise. Reasonable prices too!
Great selection of fish, both saltwater and fresh. The staff are very knowledgeable.
Clean store. Good and healthy looking fish and corals. Friendly employees.
The entire staff here is great. Fish and coral selection cant be matched. If you like supporting g a small business and you love being in the aquarium hobby this is the store you need to go to. Jamal, jason,morgan,dominic their all great. And very knowledgeable about both marine and freshwater fish and plants.
Great place, made me want to get some fish. Just stopped by to browse, but was impressed with their selection and employees. Sounded friendly and knowledgeable. Tanks and store was clean and no mold, dead fish, overcrowding, or slime on the tanks as Ive seen in other places. Awesome shop, recommend it! Great job, keep it up!
Jamal has built a wonderful fish store with great selection and prices. We have three aquariums (planted, mixed reef, and african cichlid) and we always find what we need (okay usually its a want). Plus if you need some fish-keeping advice you have come to the right place.
Great owner, excellent livestock and supplies and great staff
I love this place and the owner and staff is out of this world brilliant with the knowledge of the species of fish that they carry. This is my go to place for all of my aquatic needs.
Loved the place even though my 2 hatchet fish died within a week also our cory died to. The owner and staff are great however, Im hesitant to buy again. I didnt know Corys need to be in pairs or more. A little upset because of the money lose. They told me the fish would be fine. I might return because there tanks and fish looked great. Maybe the fish were stressed due to the fact they were still moving them into the new location.
Friendly owner and staff. The store is amazing and has wide selection of freshwater and saltwater. Definitely a must to come check it out.
Have bought a couple of fish over the past 2 months and none have lived past 48 hours. Will not be returning!
Always high quality stock and great selection. The coral colony deals are amazing. Owner and employees are very knowledgable. Cant wait for the new store to open down the street. Will be amazing!
I love this place! Best customer service and so many varieties of beautiful fish.
The BEST tropical fish and fresh fish in town . AMAZING staff and owner.
Never had a bad experience here. Great staff courteous and knowledgeable.
Jamal and the staff at TAP are top notch. From my initial purchase, standard maintenance, to off the wall questions and concerns they have always been there to help me out.
I really enjoy seeing their fish there and its really fun to look at.
Staff were helpful and friendly. Their marine tanks are well stocked and fish appeared healthy. They sell good brands of sand (Caribsea) and salt (Coral Reef Pro is my go-to). We were not buying coral frags this trip, but their stock was plentiful and looked like great specimens for a future trip.
Great place to get saltwater and freshwater fish and supplies
A beautiful place with high quality fish and knowledgeable owners. Highly recommend anyone to come check it out
Great place with a very nice selection of saltwater and fresh water fish. They have all the supplies you can think of to get your tank started. Huge selection of live coral as well. Staff was very knowledgeable and eager to assist with any questions you may have. Excellent place to check out if interested in starting a micro reef.
Really nice store. Friendly staff with great selection of livestock both salt and fresh. My new LFS!
Need more sttaf members Excellent quality and quantity of fish and coral.salt and fresh water
Have been coming here for a little over a year, my friend recommended the store and usually we go at the same time. He prefers salt water and I prefer freshwater.No problem, Jamal has helped both of us find what we need every time.He helps with any problems our tanks are having, by giving advice on the issue, which is usually spot on advice at that. They have a wide selection of fish, FW or SW, and theyll usually special order something if you ask and its in season. Personally i LOVE ropefish and eels. The man has special ordered me countless of each. And im insanely grateful for it! Ive rarely seen a dead fish in a tank, but as soon as they notice it, its gone. They can answer pretty much any question i ever have, and coming from me thats a big deal. I ask about water condition requirements, temp, food, tank mates, nocturnal or not, possible size, will it uproot my plants, is it a showy fish or does it hide, hows it color turn out when it matures, do they do well in large schools or on their own, ANYTHING. He has even helped me design a new tank i bought from him in store, and helped me choose what rocks and corals would look nice for my tiny 10 G SW tank (Ok im mainly FW). All in all 5/5 stars, for being helpful, convenient, priced well, polite, respectable, friendly, honest, and knowledgeable.They have FW fish, SW fish, living rocks for SW, rocks for FW, decor such as spider wood (and many other kinds), plants, corals, tools, food, tanks, anything.The ONLY place I go for my fish, and i drive about 35 minutes there and back.
Awesome selection and great quality corals and fish! Owner is attentive and will give advice and direction for your needs and desires. Highly recommend!
OK a little update with this store came in about 2 months ago made for some rock pay like $4 a pound now theyre telling me its $68 a pound for the same material now things changed its not flat rock you know I wish they were consistent with their pricing but it fluctuates just how they feel quality of corals I give him up C plus
Quality fish and products. See Jamal for all of your aquarium needs.
Very good price
Owner seems like a great guy who provides excellent customer service to both his visitors and customers. Next time I am in Texas, I will check out his store!
Very nice place, lots of fish to pick fish and they did a great job of an upgrade.
Anise and his crew are great!
Such a wonderful place, wide variety of fish and the owner Jamal is so very knowledgeable and friendly. I am just starting my saltwater aquarium and they were so very informative and helpful. Reasonable prices and clean healthy fish.
VERY helpful owner and staff! Great selection of both freshwater and saltwater fish. Reasonable prices.
Great store i drive 40 minutes from my house just to come here. Nice staff owner is welcoming and great prices. Every fish i bring home does great. They carry fresh water, salt water fish along with coral and even foam filters at a good price. Go check it out you wont be disappointed!
Probably one of the best aquarium stores Ive been to in Houston. This was my brother and Is first time coming to their store, and the staff is one of the reasons that will keep us coming back. Jamal and Jason actually took the time to welcome us, have conversation, and make recommendations. On top of their customer service, their coral selection is top notch with great pricing. Will definitely be back!
They are really helpful. They have a really big selection of fish.
Very enjoyable location to visit. Some tanks were a bit dirty and a few too dark but great variety.
Knowledgeable and helpful staff. This store has a great selection of everything youll need to have an awesome aquarium.
I showed up at 6:54. I was told we are closing in five minutes, and offered no assistance at all. The all three stood behind counter talking and giggling. Very unprofessional!!!!
