The Fish Bowl is a long-established, owner-operated, full-service pet shop in Stamford, Connecticut, having been in its current location for over 37 years. It is a two-level store known for its good selection of saltwater fish, freshwater fish, goldfish, and koi, as well as small animals like snakes, rabbits, and ferrets. The shop also stocks supplies for all these animals plus dogs and cats. The owners are described as very nice, knowledgeable, and taking great pride in the store and its animals. They provide exceptional service, offering clear, professional guidance even over the phone to non-customers and doing their best to accommodate all needs. Additional services include boarding for fish, small animals, reptiles, and small birds, as well as out-of-store aquarium maintenance for homes and businesses. While some note that items are at full price, the consistent feedback highlights that the excellent selection and dedicated, expert service make it a worthwhile and recommended local destination for any small animal, fish, or pet supplies.
They had a good selection of saltwaterfish. They had yellow tangs in stock. I would like for them to carry corals in stock. They also carry snakes, rabbits, ferrets, and fresh water fish.

Overall, a great little local fish store. Owner was very nice and knowledgeable - my only criticism is that personally I believe betta fish should be kept in larger tanks and people should be encouraged to keep them in heated, filtered, and 5g+ homes!All that aside, I would definitely come back to continue spoiling my fish.

Tony and Grace are very knowledgeable. Established business for quite a long time. I've been going there on an alarm for 20 years or longer. Expect to pay full price, but the selection and service makes it worthwhile.
