Fish Land

Went to fish land last Monday and got my guppies! This place is great, wide selection of freshwater to salt water fishes. What I liked bout this place is that they got tiny shrimps! They are so cute and color varies too. The prices are also cheaper compared to other places like PetSmart or Petco. The store is a lil bit dirty but it’s decent considering the type of business. They only have 2 people to assist you so you need to get their attention. Lol

So a shipment did come in with sa/​ca cichlids, bought a nice size oscar and can’t beat the cheap prices!!!

This place is awesome. After getting out of the saltwater aquaria 5 years ago I decided to do it again…90gal reef setup. Anyway, I went to T&T Fish, which is a great place too, but Fish Land is an excellent place. I was very impressed by the cleanliness of their tanks and the prices were great. The staff was friendly and helpful and didnt push me into something I would regret. I will definitely be going back their to buy fish and coral as well as supplies.
Thanks.

Ever since I moved to Katy and not as close to my other go to aquarium shop to buy all my supplies and livestock. (won’t list the name) msg me if you like to know. I have read through a few reviews and thought I give it a go.
First impression driving up to this location the outside and Plaza look super run down. As for the actual product and service inside this place is and will be my next new go to place. The Asian guy that helped me out was very knowledgeable about setting reefs and tanks up. I’m a rookie when it comes to this new hobby. I have purchased all the necessary supplies such as live sand and regular sand also live rocks. This place has one of the cheapest live rock by the pound I’ve seen! 4.99 for the regular live rock and 5.99 purple dye live rock. Tons of rocks to choose from.
As for the livestock selection there’s tons and the pricing is cheap/​fair. Cheapest I’ve seen for my favorite porcupine puffer fish. I must also give props to the owner he was quite helpful as well. Especially hooking it up.

Been a customer for over 10 years. I have always had great service and have been treated fairly. When I have rarely had an issue I have always been satisfied with the results. Prices are good. I recommend this store.

My son and I came here to buy hermit crabs and snails for his salt water aquarium. The sale person was nice and informative and answer truthfully to my son aquarium needs — no up selling. Recommended.

Yep, confirmed. Andy lives here.
Stopped by to find excellent service and a great selection. What the more experienced Aquarist will want to look for are the trade ins of grown fish on the last aisle. There you can find gems for a fair price.

My husband and i go to many of houston’s salt water fish stores, this is our FAVORITE. We have never had an issue with the fish we’ve purchased, the employees have been awesome at helping us trouble shoot our tank issues and always will tell you the best «tried and true» as well as cost effective ways of maintaining healthy, happy fish. They get shipments 3x a week and always have something new we want. It isn’t a fancy store, but the people are informative, helpful and the selection is great.

As other Unilocalers have stated there is nothing spectacular about this store. There is not a large variety of livestock at this location, but It has an exceptionally large amount of aquarium supplies and the owner is a very friendly guy.
If someone lived on this side of town I would suggest for them to go there to get their tank set up for a fair price.
Fish Land has everything you need to get started and maintain for the life of your aquarium.

Ok for aquarium supplies. Will never buy livestock from this place again. I’ve had no problem putting any livestock in my aquarium from any place except for EVERYTHING that I have bought from fish land. Their fish clearly aren’t healthy. I’ve had better luck with fish from petco. Bought three fish from here last week. Lost them all within a couple of days. They have no warranty on their livestock (for obvious reasons), and will not take their fish back. This is the only lfs that I have visited in Houston that will not give you a warranty on livestock or at least take it back, not even for store credit. Again, shop here for all your other aquarium needs. I personally will never buy livestock from here again.

There’s nothing fancy about this store, but that’s ok. The staff are super friendly and the prices are great. I was looking for a 75 gallon tank and stand set and theirs was by far the least expensive in the area. The employees took the time to ask what I was looking for and have a conversation with me. They didn’t have a few things I was looking for though, such as a 3D tank background, so I deducted one star. Other than that this place is great! I will definitely be back.

This store has been around for many many years. There is a reason for that. He has awesome prices and healthy fish. He will order the odd ball fish too. The store and tanks are always clean. Highly recommend!

I’m revising my review. I’m still pretty upset to have lost a $ 35 Spotted Adonis Pleco and a Balloon Ram. BUT, and this is weird, it turns out the large Clown Loach was merely an excellent hider. We replaced our Marineland HOB filter with a Fluval canister this past weekend. And I guess the big guy was somehow using the HOB to hide, because he turned up! We looked and looked and looked for that fish. We haven’t caught a single sight of him for a month. And there he is. So, we lost two, not three, of the four fish we purchased, within two weeks. I’m tentatively giving another star and am willing to give them another shot next time we’re in town.

Revising my review of Fish Land now. I still really like the place, but last week they sold us a snowflake eel and said it would be fine in our fresh water tank. After bringing it home (it was totally freaked out), I did a lot of research online and found that only as young are they ok in fresh water, but that they actually prefer brackish water, and as adults, they head out to the open sea and live in SALT water. Since I don’t want to be the reason this beautiful creature dies, I am going to take the eel back tomorrow and tell them to STOP telling people that they live in fresh water just fine. What a waste of my time and effort.
