I simply cannot believe I'm reading ANY negative review about this store. I've been keeping fish for over 40 years (about as long as this store has been in business by the way!) and have been to many aquarium stores in my day and have been a customer of Aqualand in Minneapolis for over ten years now and I'll go nowhere else.
Their customer service is consistently friendly, they have a knowledgeable staff, an excellent variety of fish and aquarium products (of which they can answer any question about) and their aquarium displays are beautiful and attractively presented. I always feel like I'm visiting good friends every time we go there.
The other aquarium stores in the area do not compare. For example, there is one notable aquarium store in the area on Penn Avenue--I've been there several times. There is nearly no room to move around in and getting help is almost impossible--you almost have to catch the fish you want yourself, etc. If you have to wait that long just to purchase your fish, forget about getting any kind of other assistance!
I don't know how many times I've gotten an extra fish for free at Aqualand because they scooped up one extra by accident. That's how they are over there.
I highly recommend Aqualand to any hobbyists young and old. HIGHEST RATING!
Pros: Top quality service, expertise
Cons: Kind of warm in there during the summer!
