Review of Coop. Acuario

I love this store. I love them because I am new to...

I love this store. I love them because I am new to the hobby and confused, but having done my research online and in my local area I have no doubt what so ever that this is a store that operates with integrity, trust and dignity. When I visit Aquarium Co-Op I know that I am being true and tried, honest information and am purchasing the best products that have been tested over and over again. I am now 6 months in to the hobby and have tanks that I am soooo happy with!

Not only do they have a wonderful selection of freshwater fish, but they quarantine every single one that comes into the store and they medicate them too. That means that it is super unlikely that I will be coming home with sick fish. How awesome is that? Thank you for that Aquarium Co-Op. Oh and the new Betta Barracks are to die for!

They also have a decent selection of aquarium plants that they try to convert to being submerged before you go home with them first. They are labelled with their difficulty level to keep which is super helpful for a n00b like me.

Their selection of foods and products isn't huge, but I KNOW that those are the products that the owners and staff have tried, tested and use themselves. Why carry more product that isn't as good as the ones on the shelf already? All that would do is confuse customers more. It makes my life so much easier. If you have have an issue with anything totally reach out to the store or their customer support. They are awesome and will do anything they can to help you out.

The staff there is really the hook though. They are amazing. They answer any question you have and I can tell that they know what they are talking about, not just from training and personal experience but also from their passion that they have for the hobby.

I want to give a direct shoutout to the gentleman with the curly hair and glasses (he was also wearing a hat when I last visited). He knows his stuff, takes his time with all customers so that he knows that they have everything they need to succeed in the hobby. He was kind, caring, knowledgeable and just all around awesome. I had so many questions and worries when walking into Co-Op and I came out with several bags of fish and accessories and a new sense of confidence and excitement. This guy was the only guy on staff the last two times I came in and he handled several rushes of customers by himself and made sure that every single person was taken care of. He deserves a raise and some tacos.
