Fintastic Aquariums of Wake County Inc

Great place amazing staff! Flying back to NY with my goods!!

Used to be great. When I first started reef keeping, I bought all my coral and fish there. Now they can't keep coral alive, so the displays have a few bland LPS and some dying SPS. They don't stock dry goods at all. The kid running the store now doesn't really know much about the hobby. If you're looking to buy fish, they have a decent selection. Edit since you responded: No, the corals you've carried have been dead or dying for at least a year now. The tanks are not well-maintained or dosed, and it isn't worth even looking for coral at your store anymore. I'm sincerely sorry you got sick. I'm glad you're proud of your son. But the store is in a bad place now and is no longer worth shopping at. It makes me sad, since I was happy to support you over the other big local store, but without any dry goods or viable corals, there's no reason to visit other than the admittedly great priced inverts. It is what it is. You can get defensive or you can realize that your shop is in a bad place.

The staff is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of healthy fish and vibrant corals, and everything I’ve purchased from them has done really well in my tank. I’ve never had any issues with livestock from here. They also run great specials pretty often, which makes it even more worth the visit. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced reefers!

Why do I love Fintastic Aquariums? - They are friendly and talkative - They treat their fish like their own pets. I go there once every week or two and have seen some of the same fish there for months and months. Some end up in their own displays and others are just fish that are harder to sell, but regardless, they are always happy and healthy and that is the most important part that I love about this store. I Trust them because of the obvious care they give to their fish. This is the most important part to me personally. Everything else is just a bonus. - Good prices - They are open and honest about anything you ask them.

Great staff! Great everything! I could not afford anything there, but I knew that coming in. This store is great and I hope to be a costumer in the future. Also none of the fish were abused like in pet smart.
