The Fish Room

We visited The Fish Room’s new location to see what had changed, and we were beyond impressed! The store is absolutely beautiful, with a clean, well-organized layout that makes browsing a pleasure. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, ready to answer any questions you have. They offer an amazing assortment of both freshwater and saltwater fish and creatures—everything looked healthy and well cared for. The only thing missing is the pond section, but the rest of the selection more than makes up for it. Overall, I love everything this spot has to offer and can’t recommend it enough for all your aquatic needs!

Terrible experience this place sucks. Very poor customer service experience. As soon as I walked in the store, everyone that worked there retreated to the back and just hung out. As you can see in the pictures absolutely no one is around. The young lady you see that worked there liberally just walked passed me and didn’t say a word. I had to wait about 20 minutes until someone had helped me who was already busy with someone else at the time. When I had made my transaction is when workers started walking up and hovering over the register making me very uncomfortable. I will not be returning hope this place shuts down it’s over priced as hell anyways. I’m going back to aquarium outfitters for sure

Great aquatic store! Fresh water, salt water, tanks, tank systems, tank supplies, beautiful variety of fish, RO water, knowledgeable staff. Been going here for a few years now. The old store was Capital and Old Wake Forest Rd (close to BJ's) and now moved just down Capital/US 1 almost to Spring Forest Rd.

This place is amazing. As someone who's been keeping fish for years, I truly appreciate what they have done in the new space to offer a wide variety of products and livestock. I would hope that they could improve their ability to get certain items in stock, but I also concede that they are at the mercy of their suppliers. Staff is knowledgeable and very helpful, as well as friendly. I feel positive about my visits and wish there was one closer to me.

Bad experience, lot of workers chatting with each other while people waited to get help. I had a bunch of stuff and after waiting around 15 minutes, I got some help to get checked out. I was given two bags that had had “everything” carried them to my car and drove home two hours away. I called them to explain how I didn’t receive the bio stratum and the manager Chris said nobody left anything and that he couldn’t take time to review the footage. Besides my situation, they had a nice store that is overpriced as basic plants are $10 for just one. I’m talking about the same plants you can get at your local Petco.
