Fantastic owner, fantastic staff, fantastic shop. These folks give good, solid advice - even if it means they aren't going to make a sale. They speak to my kids like they assume they can understand a bit of complexity and generally make us feel welcome and appreciated. I'm happy to drive 30 minutes to Manchester to purchase here rather than drive 10 minutes to Petco or PetSmart any day.

I have been going to Fish Mike Aquatics for several years. Staff is always knowledgeable and the store is Grade A+Stock here is superior quality to the box stores and there are some real deals! I have recommended Fish Mike to anyone I can the whole time I have been going there. Awesome aqua-scape material in stock, healthy critters, full rack of plants, and a large selection of just about whatever you may need for reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and insects at this store. Those 'in the know,' shop at Fish Mike ? from my experience. You shop with a different class of clientele here.Mike has rare isopods and pink springtails in stock. I have gotten a couple great deals on tanks when they are on sale. I feel everyone there is considerate about the critters' well beings and are particularly skilled at caring for them. It takes both ?I definitely recommend stopping in and perusing Fish Mike Aquatics, even if it is just to get a feel for the shop. I shop here pretty much exclusive AND all the time. I know a thing or two about fish at this point and I have only heard sound advice given from everyone here to their customers.Staff has of course always been helpful to me whenever I had any questions (which I have). With the Internet, you can find half-a-dozen contradictory answers to a fish/reptile/amphibian related question and I have found it a real benefit to be able to ask for advice from real people here.Pet stores are usually such a drag. It is a superb treat to have such an amazingly high-quality boutique store that you can feel positive about patronizing. Check it out for real ?

Great store. They have a good selection for a smaller store. Very good prices. They have one of the best plant selections I have seen.

Nice store with excellent selection of foods and chemicals/treatments. Livestock is really healthy looking and the options are very nice. The shrimp inventory and selection is a breath of fresh air. Most places simply do not seem to work super hard to keep shrimp in stock or offer variety. Fish Mike’s does both. Staff I worked with got the job done but could benefit from additional training. Owner is clearly invested in positive outcomes for the customer which puts this shop in a good position for a sustainable future.

Wow what a breathe of fresh air in the pet store world. Every single animal in there was happy with life. My fiance and I have been around to every single exotic fish and reptile store in the area and there is only a few I can say I have ever felt comfortable enough giving my money to. I say this because of the quality of care for their animals. But fish mikes... wow. All the tanks were clean, they all had food and water and they were genuinely cared for by knowledable staff that actually cared! They were even dusting around the store as we were there. Truly amazing. Now to the staff themselves, the one gentleman we worked with was a whole dictionary of information and it was amazing. I learned so many new things and he helped us pick out the perfect items for their pea puffers that I couldn't say no to! Biggest round of applause to these guys for their amazing store and staff. I will not be going anywhere else, thank you guys so much for being great people who really love what they do. It truly made the experience unforgettable.

There is a reason this place has 5-star ratings. They are the best in the state as far as I am concerned. I will gladly drive the 1.5 hours to go here. Not only can you find some of the more rare species here, but Its also refreshing to go to a place where the staff are friendly and know their stuff. They also have a beautiful Conure that is their instore bird that always cracks me up.

Full service aquatic shop with helpful friendly, and knowledgeable employees. Fish Mike has everything! Every aquarium supply imaginable, pond supplies, aquarium plants, every underwater and above water creature you could ever want - both freshwater and saltwater, houseplants, pond plants, food (fresh, dried, and frozen), water treatment, plant fertilizer, and the list goes on. The quality is unbelievable. Every tank in the shop is immaculate and stocked with healthy animals. Just a great place to shop or just browse.

I was frustrated losing fish in the hobby. James has been working maintenance on my take for months now and my tank is doing awesome. I have corals, fish, crabs, and all are thriving. Always makes good fish and coral recommendations. Never done me wrong. Always recommend. Personable and his recommendations always fit budget and do very well both fish and corals.

Just visited this store for the first time and it was incredible! Small store but packed with a large amount of fish, a decent amount of reptiles, and loads of fish supplies! As a new fish keeper, the employee helping me was thorough with walking me through all the supplies I needed (and why I needed them) without making me feel like a moron. Very patient with all my questions and very reasonable prices compared to even chain pet stores. Will be back!

Lovely little hidden gem tucked into an extremely unassuming side road. While not in the best part of town or in a nice building, Fish Mike Aquatics is very well kept inside and has a good variety of fish and reptiles. All the tanks are clean, the fish are healthy and active, and they have a humane betta fish section with tanks of filtered dripping water instead of those stale cups you find at pet stores. Sully was extremely knowledgeable about the care of the creatures and helped us with choosing some isopods for our terrarium. Great experience overall, I hope they can move to a better location someday.

Excellent shop. They got fish. They got snakes. They got lizards. They have a pet bird you can visit. They even have Lego. Not to mention the people there are very smart and know everything you need to know.

Every fish I buy from here dies. Then get told bring them back with a water sample. Well tank was cleaned 1 week ago and every other fish is totally fine. Wasted hundreds of dollars on salt water fish just for them to diem I'm not rude so I won't give you a 1* because as a small business owner I understand there are things that happen and can't be prevented. Wish they would just give a credit or new fish without the hassle.
