The Evolved Fish

I’ve been going to pet shops both chain and “hole in the wall” places all of my life, andthis place hands down has the most diverse lineup i’ve ever seen! The guy running the place is great too. Super super informational about anything he has or can special order for you. I literally drove by this place everyday for 2 years until discovering what was less than a mile down the road from me! Def an experience the first time you go!

This place for everything fish is the real deal! I recently moved to Asheville and set up my small 10 gallon tank. I was hoping to get some cool cichlids but knew space would be a challenge. After explaining my situation and desires, I was expertly guided in what to do to get my tank ready for some shell-dwelling multies. To get it done right, I was sent home with some basic live-bearers to help condition my tank water for the more complex future residents. I was then guided to return after some time to come get my desired species. The knowledge at this store is extremely comprehensive. If you want aquarium fish (even special orders), go here first by all means. You’ll see what I mean. 5-stars all around.

Stopped by this fish store after visiting the Fairview Library with my middle schooler, and we were amazed! It felt like touring a mini aquarium—so many beautiful fish to choose from, both freshwater and saltwater. The turtles were so curious, and we were fascinated by the saltwater eel. The owner is very friendly, and all the animals look healthy and well cared for. If you have the chance to visit, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

Our family had a great first experience and we were very impressed with the customer service and knowledge of Craig who helped us. We are setting up a freshwater tank and appreciate the advice he provided. We will definitely be back when we are ready to add more fish and live plants. Thank you!

This store is amazing. Lots of different types of fish. Great selection of African Cichlids, and they have fry to adult sizes. They have shrimp too. Highly recommend!! Picture is of an OB malawi eye biter that I got from The Evolved Fish.
