Place was really dirty and expensive. Lowered it further because the owner charged me $5 for a net that is quite literally $2 everywhere else and then was telling me I should have bought my inverts from him.

This is at best a mixed review, at worst a warning. I visited Atlantis Fish Shopp a few weeks ago and have been hesitant to review it.First the good things: they have an amazing saltwater coral plug and full coral/anemone collection. I am not a salt water tank keeper, but even I could tell that their full size stock was impressive. The shop was also willing to negotiate with me on a returned piece of hardscape that I was very interested in. Most shops nowadays will not change pricing at new customer's offers.However that is the end of my praise. The tanks were poorly maintained, with more than a weeks worth of algae, waste, and film build up. There were quite a few fish who looked sick on the sales floor, and I am concerned that three of their axolotls on the sales floor appeared dead (floating at the top sucked to the filter). They were severely understocked for hardscape (only wood they had was my purchase).If you are looking for saltwater plugs, they have a great selection. But I would be hesitant of disease from anything living you buy here.

Visited this store recently and had a pleasant experience. The owner, Steve, gave me a great deal on the school of Celestial Pearl Danios he had available. Steve was very friendly and knowledgeable about the industry. I will visit again

Owner is rude and pushes you into buying. No matter what you ask or anything he will just say what he needs to get you to buy something. Fish always look terrible as well. Go somewhere else.

Every fish sold from this place is either infected with a contagious disease or has died within 3 days. Tank parameters aren't the problem. The unethical owner is. He frequently lies and gives out false information. Save your money and frustration, go elsewhere.List of lies:1. "Saltwater is just like freshwater, the fish are just more expensive to flush down the toilet."2. Sea anemones are coral reef tank safe.3. Mandarin Dragonets are easy to care for.4. A 4" solar wrasse is appropriate for a 30 gal.5. "This wrasse doesn't have a problem, no need to look it up" (it couldn't swim well and appeared to have a broken body or back)6. Sally lightfoot crabs are herbivores, and peaceful. Even at 5 inches. (It took out my army of hermit crabs and coral banded shrimp lost his arms. Oh!6a. "The coral banded probably was being aggressive and got into his space." (That crab was super fast, aggressive and preferred carnivorous food)7. This used tank is like new. (It leaked).8. Black Ghost knife fish are appropriate for a 20 gal tropical community with shrimp and small fish like neon tetras (they require 55gal min when they are small, and 120gal when they grow to their full size of 22". Oh!8a. "This fish will only grow if it's in a big tank". Um, sir? It's not a goldfish and that was a blatant lie. I guess he makes it up as he goes.9. These are also African dwarf frogs (no they weren't, they were African clawed frogs)10. The two different corals on this rock won't sting each other. (Yes they will).11. Scooter blennies don't have a special diet, they eat frozen food (only if you have the patience and knowledge to train them, and if they are receptive to said training. Both are variable, and their normal diet is actually copepods).12. This is a jaw fish. (It was a Watchman goby).13. "OH that tube is a worm snail, they're harmless" (on a live rock I purchased from him, which men's his entire tank of live-rock is infested with Vermetid snails). They're not harmless. Soak any live rock you get from this place in hydrochloric acid to get rid of the snails.Yeah, it just didn't end. I finally cut my losses and never returned. Each experience degraded my respect for the owner, and I finally realized he truly lacks any honor, and preys on the inexperienced aquarium hobbyists.You won't find any experienced hobbyists in his store, come to find out there's a good reason for that. We've learned the information is 100% unreliable, and 99% false. He does it on purpose: its his business strategy: so you come back and return it and spend more money.This man actually got irritated when I turned down a coral he was trying to sell me...he pushed it on me FOUR times!! I had to say no to this guy four times. For a coral. Creepy.
