Was coming here years ago for koi pond stuff, and after my oldest son killed all the koi in the pond a few years ago, we waited to start it back up so it wouldn't happen again.
Here we were today, we purchased six kois and some pond stuff. They are super friendly here and very helpful. They sell Japanese kois, which are ones we had previously.
We came here at 10am and was outside looking at the kois to pick a few to bring home. The guy that was helping us get the kois was so friendly and gave us some tips watching the kois grow. They also provided us a flyer for an upcoming koi show taking place

Last summer I built my first Koi pond. I tried to do my research online for how to properly prepare for fall and winter but I wasn’t feeling very confident with the answers to my questions. I found Blue Ribbon Aquatics on google and stopped in. John was more than happy to walk me through the necessary steps I should be taking including the proper time to stop and start feeding in the cold months. He did not pressure me to buy anything and gave me as much information as I could take. I did wind up buying a few things on that first visit and I was very impressed with how professionally maintained

We had very high hopes for this store. Drove an hour based on the selection of saltwater fish they claimed to have on their website. Got there, staff was not friendly. Selection was not what they claimed but we did find some we were interested in. Prices were a little high. Once we selected our fish and went to check out not only did we feel belittled for our questions but were also accused of stealing a pack of mysis shrimp ( My phone sticking out of my bag ) Will not be back.

Blue Robbon Koi is the best for any Koi or pond needs. They clean our pond every Spring and do a great job. The are reasonably priced and won't try to upsell you. I've spent a lot of time just talking to then about fish or pond issues and they a happy to help and offer advice. I highly recommend them!

I just recently started a saltwater tank and was glad to find this nearby shop that was only 10min away. Amazing selection of products and specimens, all reasonably priced too. Sondra was always helpful and courteous, since I'm brand new at this, I really appreciate her patience and guidance. I only wish they open for longer hours as most days when I get off at 6, they're already closed. Hey how about adjusting your hours to 11am to 7pm?

This is, hands down, the best fish store I've ever been to.
Being new to saltwater aquariums, I often come in with an overwhelming amount of questions (that I know are super amateur to them). They have always been willing to hear me out and have always steered me in the right direction. They have always made me feel welcome and comfortable. There is a better chance they send me out of there with nothing (bc my tank isn't ready for certain things yet) then there is for them to try to sell me something that won't work in my little ecosystem I have going my. Even though it's really hard to leave
