This is a great aquarium! Lots of different things to see 🐟🐢🐠🦈🦭🐊🦀

Friendly and knowledgeable staff!Our go to place for all things salt and freshwater - we have both!I have been a patron for years.Our most recent visit we were greeted kindly and the level of support, guidance, and education received was top notch!Thank you!

Cool store, but trying to get someone to help you is like pulling teeth. Tried many times to come and purchase fish & plants and have employees straight up walk past me and not even bat an eye after waiting near the tanks for 10-15 minutes until I give up and walk out. Came in to buy some frozen food today and stood in line while both of the cashiers carried on a conversation with their friend while the food melted in my hand. Love how they complain about getting low stars and play victim because they’re a local business. Want 5 star reviews? Give five star service.

Great place to buy fish, with an variety both saltwater and freshwater fish. Not the mention the amazing amount of coral selection they had. I bought one of my American Cichlids here along with a crayfish, and both are doing and looking great. They also sold great used tanks for a cheap price. The driftwood and rocks were surprisingly inexpensive and great quality. However when it came to the rodent section to the store, I’m afraid I was a little disappointed. Some of the large guinea pigs were kept in small enclosures, and it was almost sad to see. Nevertheless, this place is a great fish store, and I will definitely come back.-One quick question- Does this store sell axolotls? I thought I saw one in a picture, but didn’t find one in the store. Thanks!

Wow this place his everything U would like when you are putting your aquarium together and anything else you would like N. The people there are very cool N Nice people

I love Seascape! Ive come here for quite awhile whenever Im in need of anything for my reptiles, and especially my aquariums.The decor is great, and very fitting for what they do. The staff is very professional, and I believe a lot of family involvement. Even just walking in, and walking over the bridged Koi pond is excellent! Lots of species of fish available, as well as birds, turtles, and often times, various reptiles.Highly recommended if you run an aquarium of most any type - wet or dry!

Very knowledgeable and ethical. I asked for 6 catfish and the owner told me I only needed 4 to clean the bottom. They are very careful with only selling healthy fish. I will not buy fish from any other source. Dr gary glick

Great place to shop for just about anything for your pets. Staff are super friendly as well.

Alissa and Chris are both super nice people. The store is well stocked and has great prices. Really cool corals available. Some nice Red Sea complete systems for sale. Great shop. Will be returning

Definitely a complete store. They have pretty much everything you could possibly need to setup an aquarium. They also have a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater fish, as well as corals and inverts. There are also a reptiles and some small mammals.

Also so helpful and knowledgeable about the animals they sell and always have excellent quality of food and products

Everyone that works there is so knowledgeable about Whits about what they eat tell you and you can tell they know what theyre talking about because theybecause they knew a kind of turtle I had without even showing them a picture, They are great with helping you save moneyou save money if youre on a budget and theyre all around really friendly nice youre really friendly nice Employees

Just bought a Honduran Boa from here. The owner was amazing and helpful. Even sold me a used tank to feed the new snake in. Great customer service!

Always super helpful and knowledgeable. Deffinitly my go to place for all my critters.

Super variety of fish, equipment and supplies! Courteous and friendly service. Highly knowledgeable about pets, equipment and service. Easy to get to. Parking right out front. Excellent!

Has great stock of both Fresh and Saltwater fish and plants. Even have bettas, snails, and other cool animals like doves, reptiles, and other mammals. Was pretty good until 2 people came in screaming about how a staff member might have molested his niece? Didn’t hear to much cause I ran out of the store.With that being said, I did make it out unscathed so that’s a perk

Been coming here for years. Great place

Really fun place with really cool animals and fish. If you have a pond, fish tanks and love wildlife got to check it out.

I hadnt been there in awhile remember it being much nicer. I think they may have been renovating it.

Love this place. I try to shop small and support local as much as I can and this place has been around and helping keep my turtles happy for years now. Thank you!!

Seascape is a must-visit if you are in town. Excellent selection of fresh and saltwater fish, plus display tanks.

Seascape is the best fish store in the area. They sell other pet supplies and animals as well but my experience with them is with fish. I have cared for many freshwater tanks over the years, but was starting my first saltwater tank. I came in and spoke with Alissa. She was great help and has worked with me for the months of setting up this tank! She wouldnt sell me anything she knew I wasnt ready for and now whenever I walk in she asks about the tank. They have great selection of animals and products, but the customer service is second to none. I cant recommend seascape enough! And if you are interest in a reef tank Alissa is your girl.

Great place, has a turtle pond on the back end, great selection and friendly service!

Had what we needed and the help was unmatched. Thanks!

One of the dirtiest, least organized, slowest reef stores I ever seen.

Excellent pet center. There animals are handled with care and a lot more ready for family integration.

Great employees and fun selection of fish and animals.We have been regulars at this store for over a year.Have bought many fish, corals, product and more.We Purchased a new tank from the owner ( our second ---the first was bought at a different store around the corner.) We were told that the setup and water would be included (just as it was when we purchased our first tank from Coral Connections.) Wish we would have stuck with Coral Connections for this tank purchase....owner did not stick to his word. Be sure to get things in writing before purchasing!

I was expecting lot more fish. The tanks were very overcrowded for the amount of fish per tank. A lot of fish looked sick and not healthy. I wouldnt recommend buying fish from here.

Needs a good cleaning.

The best in Sarasota,mom and pops owned 35 yrs,been going over 15yrs,like family

First time in since 2008. Same owner same great service and exceptional variety of fish both saltwater and fresh. Aquariums birds snaks rabbits koi ponds all the food and chemicals you could need plus the best equipment and knowledge anywhere i have ever been. If you want a incredible aquarium this should be your first stop.

Found what I inquired about way faster than expected. Awesome supplier! C u Friday! Thank you.

Very cool place. Visited with the family.Animals was very well tooken care of.They had exotic fish and some really awesome puffer belly fish.The angel fish and the clown fish were special in their own kinda way.Exotic Birds as well(dont touch the birds,they bite.)This pet store has a guard cat on duty which freaked me out a little,but he was harmless.All in all great place to visit,grandson even bought a pet baby rabbit for his girlfriend...

Worth the long drive from home. A bit on the high price side but an outstanding selection.

Wide selection of items related to animal hobbies. A little on the pricey side but they are locally owned.Horrible customer service skills. I dont think you are supposed to talk down to customers or come across Arrogant.Help the customer understand in a way that doesnt make them feel dumb. Fyi.

Staff was helpful in making sure the replace pump we were buying would fit our sump.

This was a great place with so many fish! I was super impressed with their saltwater selection. No one has an inventory like that in Tennessee where we are from. Huge selection of driftwood, foods, decorations, you name it.There was also a very friendly store cat that fell in love with my fiancee. 12/10 would give love and pats again.This beautiful lady is Cookie! I love koi bettas, and Id been looking for a special fish ever since our guy Sai died in a freak accident a few weeks back. This lovely little girl was all about following our fingers around in her bowl, and we instantly fell in love. She has such unusual colors!The staff were great when we told them the dilemna of being from out of state and having a 12 hour drive home. He bagged her up in an extra big bag with oxygen that would last a few days. She made it through the night, then we strapped her in the back seat inside a blanket, and 800 miles later, we acclimated her to her new tank and she is thriving!I highly recommend these guys! Great shop, great service, very healthy fish!

Ive been going into seascape since I was a kid & I still love it. Excellent family friendly & knowledgeable staff and excellent products.

Great local and family owned pet store. Very knowledgeable staff.

Independent fish store we support. They have quite a variety of stuff. Birds bunnies reptiles turtles fresh or salt water fish. Oh my!

Great place, my tank, some of their fish.

Great customer service and product variety.

Been going there for years for all my salt water supplies good selection on there corals and fish. Same go with freshwater. Great customer service ask for the owner Rick or Wesley

We enjoy working with Alyssa! Her knowledge and experience with corals and salt water creatures is amazing! 🐠🐡🐟

Ive been going here for 30 years and never had a disappointing experience. Love it.

A lot of stuff. I went in for some ph buffer for my reef tank. Was interested in a hammer coral but good luck getting any help. I waited for over 30 min before I gave up on the coral. I watched people who came in after me be helped before me.

Big variety of fresh and saltwater fish and dry goods.

Place is great. We get our feed here for snake for years. Always nice and knowledgeable

Bought some neons tetras. Asked for the bigger ones, so my other fish wouldnt bother them too much. Got what I asked for. Thank you.

Seascape has always been one of my favorite pet stores. I have been coming here for probably a little over 10 years. I usually get feeder mice from them for a good price, and usually the size I need. They have a great variety of pets as well. Today, they had two very adorable quails that lay eggs every other day. I have never seen quails up close before and they showed me how to hold one. Precious! They also have a cat who loves in the store and he is friendly as can be. Make sure to visit him. There is also a lovely little garden that they maintain there. Definitely a favorite place for me, even when Im not buying.

I always recomend seascapes to people for both salt and fesh water fish. They have a vast selection and knowledgeable staff. christopher was very helpful in geting me started with a tank

Nice place a lot of options on corals and fishGood costumer service

I had a staring contest with the eel there for like 20 minutes

Great place awesome service everytime. Ty

This place has the most healthy selection of fish around. Some are a little higher priced than you can find online or at other stores. But you get what you pay for. Their fish are the most colorful, and will survive when you get them home. I am very happy with the fish I have purchased from seascape

My familys go-to for pets and/or supplies. Just looking around, inside, is fun! They offer an amazing selection of freshwater & saltwater fish & plants. New and used pet supplies. Cool Birds, reptiles, and furry friends. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Wes and Alissa are super friendly, happy to help make sure you buy WHAT you need.... They care about the outcome of your pet purchase and fish tank conditions. Thank you!! :) They also offer, a savings program. You can very quickly set up an account to keep track of your purchases as well as give $5 off for every $100 spent.

So helpful and knowledgeable!!!

Best local pet store

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful! The employees are always so informative and patient. When I come in with a million questions and concerns, they always have the answers and give great advice. I go there for all my happy fish and aquarium needs.

Fun place to visit. With Gus the eel, almost as old as time itself.Lots of pets to purchase

Helpful staff, good variety of pets. They have birds, reptiles, rodents, and a large variety of fresh and saltwater fish. A visit is kind of like going to a zoo. Staff is very knowledgeable. Yes, it’s an old store, doesn’t really “gleam”.Btw I have read some of the older reviews with people and their experiences with fish from this store. Not everybody who buys a fish is an expert, as they seem to claim. I have found that if you ask for fish in the store, they will offer to test your water before you buy it to make sure it is safe. They will educate you on what you were buying and how to care for it. If something happens to your fish after all of that, they will take care of you. If you ignore their advice and refuse to have your water tested I don’t think it’s fair to insist on a refund of a fish that was healthy when you brought it home and died the moment you put it in your tank. I’ve been told “you’re buying too many fish” by their salespeople and listened to them. Honesty is important when it comes to selling pets and these guys are honest. They absolutely will test your water for free, no questions asked, before you spend a dime on fish.

By far the most well stocked fish seller in the area. Worth the 45 minute drive. I believe we were helped by the owner and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Cant wait to return when we eventually upgrade to a larger tank.

Impressive variety of fish and other aquarium animals.

This place is amazing. They have a variety of animals, everything is clean and they are very helpful.

This is a great store. The employees are super helpful. Were setting up our first aquarium and Alissa spent a long time explaining things and answering all our questions. She was helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for the great service!

Excellent customer service with knowledgeable associates. Huge selection!

This place is run by some great people. Very knowledgeable about all types of animals. They have a fantastic selection of salt and freshwater marine life as well as a huge selection of foods and supplies. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the fish keeping hobby.

Nice place but pricey.

Blub blub - the manager

Love this place. Great fish and tanks. Thanks alot.

Large variety of both fresh and salt water life. Large selection of aquariums available as well. Its evident that this store has occupied this space for quite some time. Been there three times and the guy there never said a word to help or assist me; the girl there was knowledgeable and friendly.

Friendly family owned pet shop that offers a wide variety of fresh and saltwater fish as well as other animals ranging from reptiles to birds and bunnies. They also offer pet supplies and toys. The best place to go if you are looking to start an aquarium at home. They have a ton of tank and display options.

I love this place. Very cool employees. I can spend an hour in there everyday and still find something Ive never seen!! Because its an aquarium store remember the floors can get a little wet. Enjoy!!

My son keeps birds so I go in there with him to buy bird toys, treats and he even bought a pair of cocktiels.It seems to have a good selection of birds, fish, food and accessories.

I love this place! They know everything about taking good care of your pets. I have shopped here for years. At least 20. They always have a great selection and for example, if you just started a community salt water aquarium they will talk you out of wasting your money on specimens until your water tests show your tank is established.Awesome people. Will shop here forever.

Purchased a used kit here. Was looking for something a little more robust than a 32g kit but settled. I looked at some basic aquarium/stand combos in the 300 to 400 range and found myself being upsold to the 1500 to 2500 range. 3 different employees I spoke with mentioned the wealth of their other customers. I found this unnecessary and wondered if they were sizing me up by wealth as well. (Im not wealthy, Im a high school teacher) I did not like that focus on talking about other customers based on how wealthy they are. I also found the upselling to be offputting. I was almost going to take my business elsewhere. I settled on buying here due to lack of local options.I was unhappy with the staffs approach however their livestock look healthy and their tanks are clean and free of some of the easily spotted pests I look out for.I will return. But Im very uncomfortable with the staff. Talk about my reef, not my wealth when you tell other customers about me.

Absolutely live this store!! I only come here for all the things that I need for my scaley babies!! Great prices, staff is so helpful and kind!

Dear Brandon Urban, I dont know why in the world you feel so wronged by myself or our company. As I tried to tell you before, I was trying to look out for your Oscar when I told you to wait until I had sold off the 5 other large Oscars other customers brought in a week before, because big ones often fight & I didnt have a lot of extra space for them. I didnt want you to bring him in until I had room for him. I said I would offer a lot more once I had sold off some of the other big ones. Im sorry you took offense to a lower offer, with patience I would have taken care of you as I do everything I can to accommodate everyone. Although spreading ludicrous and vindictive lies might make you feel better, it does nothing for public interest. We pride ourselves on having the healthiest stock, we handpick, we prophylactically treat all of our fish, and we check all of them multiple times through out the day. Please stop spreading malicious lies about our company; if we are in the wrong or make a mistake, we will own it. The ludicrous lies you have posted however only showcase petty dishonesty. By the way, when I approached you a couple days ago, I was trying to let you know on a personal level the only thing important to me when we had last spoke was first and foremost the health of your Oscar, it was not about how much I could get or how much it cost, or about your inconsequential review.P.S. - no one here has ever tried to get $30 for any Oscar no mater how large or beautiful. Even the biggest of what we had before your first review were marked down to $15, hence why you were offered $5. We offer 30% retail value in credit, just as we always have, although supply and demand might affect this, as it did in your case.

Always a large selection of fish to choose from! Employees are very friendly!

My first visit here was in 1986, and I return whenever I need anything related to my aquariums...always very helpful and knowledgeable

Always great service!!

Great place to get your aquarium fish, friendly knowledgeable staff.

Wasnt aware of the diversity of products this store carries. I had a great time shopping with them and was given a way better price on some things I couldnt find online at a competitive rate. Will be back for more soon. Lots of aquarium to fill. Thanks Seascape

I have been a customer of Seascape for almost 15 years. Their customer service is second to none. They are a quality retail pet center who provide professional and fair costs for their outstanding service. I have purchased everything from fish to reptiles as well as servicing a tank from them and they have NEVER provided poor service or unfair pricing. Everything they do is top notch and far superior to other stores. I have shopped numerous locations from Tampa south prior to finding Seascape. I would highly recommend Seascape to anyone for pets, products, and service.

Very knowledge staff. They have a wide variety of salt and freshwater fish as well as marine life items. They have a variety of other items for your reptile and bird friends. I highly recommend the store!

Everyone here is always so helpful. They dont care if you have the stupidest question in the world, they will explain it three times if need be. The fish, plants, and snails they sell are always healthy when Im in there. This is my go to LFS (local fish store). Also, charisma the cat (at least thats what I think the cutie kitties name is) is the sweetest cat ever. I always say hi when I go in and pet her. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

I drive over an hour to Seascape. Their personnel are knowledgeable and helpful on keeping my saltwater tank healthy. As a longtime owner of saltwater fish, this is, by far, my favorite and most trustworthy fish business. Most of the issues Ive read about seem to be from those who dont understand the fine balance in tanks and water quality....and fish health. This comes with experience (and patience!) I highly recommed Seascape!

Ive been shopping here for years. They take good care of their animals as well as have the knowledge to help you do the same. Always a varied, good collection of animals and products, and employees more than willing to help you with anything you might need.

Seascape is by far the best pet store in Sarasota and I always go out of my way to support them when I can. More so than any other pet stores around here, they are knowledgeable about and genuinely care about and provide GOOD care of the animals in their store. No one around here is as knowledgeable about fish as they are. Though they get busy at times due to high volume of customers, they will always try their best to provide good service to everyone in there, even if may take a minute to get to you. They are a little over priced (especially with fish), but they are a family owned business who prices things as such to stay afloat.

Knowledgeable friendly staff, great selection that is always changing.

A excellent mixture of aquatic supplies from New to used, fresh to salt, would love to go broke here.

The fish selection is awesome! I love the little back area with the pond also! There is also an amazing selection of aquascaping supplies there too.

What a great store.what an assortment of fish

Such a unique and pleasant pet supply store! The array of aquatic creatures available like sharks and eels to ciclids and koi is impressive. Plus the staff, including Charisma the cat, are always pleasant to see.

Love this place. They have a great selection of HEALTHY well taken care of pets.They are wonderful people with an immense amount of knowledge and care concerning the pets they have there.

I wouldn’t put anything from here in my tank. The place is absolutely filthy. Overpriced corals that look half dead. What a shame.

Best store for fish and coral

Edited for clarity: They have a good selection of fish and supplies but there can be issues with staff and customer service.

Absolutely disgusted! I bought a fish from them and added it to my tank. 3 hours later my perfectly healthy fish that I had for almost a year dies! I raised him from a baby! Instead of replacing my fish the owner comes up with excuses and says its just coincidence! By no means is that coincidence. Their fish contaminated my tank and killed one of my favorite fish. They could care less and their customer service is that an all-time low. It seems the owner is just greedy and does not care about his customers. I will never go back and I suggest you never go. Unless you want your fish dead too.

Great n knowledgeable employees. And hv amazing selection of fish....
