Walked in over the weekend thinking there may be some good things reading a few of the reviews. But I don't even think any people that worked there knew we were there. Wasn't greeted, wasn't asked if we needed anything or had interest in some fish. The place smelled pretty bad, I get it's an Aquarium store, but the lack of organization, and customer service was just awful. All the tanks are filthy, the ground was filthy. The place was just extremely cramped. Would not recommend coming here. I'll stick to my aquarium store in... read more
Recommendedbeen looking for a Longfin catfish and he had them... I travel from Lakewood ranch all the way to Venice to purchase it and I really like the store and I will travel to Venice (20 miles) for my future purchases on fish too...
I am beyond pleased with my visit today. It was my first-time meeting Father Fish and from my experience I can tell you he is very caring and honest. He was so personable and inviting the moment we met. I appreciate how thorough he was and really took his time to listen to all of my concerns. Not only did he listen to my concerns, he also gave me many options of care and treatment which I really appreciate. I feel 100% confident Father Fish will provide the best care and advice for any local authentic marine tank enthusiast.
most knowledgeable store owner in Venice area. have a question about fish, ask Lou.
more natural approach rather than chemicals... one of the few old school keepers and teachers around.
Some people verbally trash F.F. for lack of a clean store. Yeah, I get it, however, I have purchased many fish their and have NEVER had a problem with any of them ever!! I'll dismiss his lack of a pretty store any day vs going into a perfectly clean store and buy crappy fish! Father Fish takes great care of his fish and other pets! That's most important to me. Finally, bet nobody who gave negative comments ever tested the water conditions of his tanks. I have and they're just FINE!
Father fish is definitely the place you want to go to. I was looking for tropical freshwater fish, and was tired of the same old selection at the pet stores (co, smart,etc). He has a great selection, and he is very knowledgeable. He gave us time to look around without the usual hassle of most places, and then answered all my questions, plus told me about things I would have never thought to ask. I have left there with more knowledge, and even came home and revamped my tank from gravel to a proper substrate, so I can grow pla... read more
Wonderful tank displays. a wealth of knowledge was gained here. joy for the whole family. if you can't go to the beach get an aquarium.😉
