I’ve been going since I first started keeping Cichlids and was relatively new in the hobby in general. I can’t say enough. If you are looking for Cichlids don’t waste your time at any other store. You won’t find the selection or quality you find here. There are tons of other fish as well! He knows what he is talking about and won’t steer you wrong on what will work in a tank and what won’t. He won’t sell you stuff you don’t need. I was trying to be proactive and was about to buy every fish medication there was just in case I ever needed it. He approached me and said no put that back you don’t need it. Honesty and integrity. His tanks are always clean. Fish are always happy and healthy. You owe it to yourself to stop in. I’ve been in so many fish stores. From Dayton to Lexington, Indianapolis, Louisville. Blue Hook is my go to!

Came in about two weeks ago after seeing he had some Leopoldi Angelfish available per his website. When I arrived I was happy to see he did in fact have several angelfish but they were significantly larger than the angels I already had in my tank. I voice my concerns about this as I’ve never had angels before so I’m unsure myself. After I get his opinion on whether that would be ok or not. He stated “it shouldn’t be a problem and the small ones will grow fast and catch up quickly”. WRONG. The two angels I got from him devastated my other angels by continuously picking at them and chasing them and not allowing them to eat. My other babies have actual bite marks on their bodies and their fins are in terrible shape. I almost lost one of them; so after a little over a week of this I decided this weekend I was going to take them back. Be it Refund, store credit or just hoping they would find a different and better home- I didn’t care. So promptly at 11am when they open I called but no answer. I decide to go ahead and bag them up and head that way (45 min drive for me) and I call again on my way and someone answers. I tell him the above story and HE WONT TAKE THEM BACK! He says he can’t cause he quarantines his fish. Well….these can be quarantined too! What am I supposed to do with these fish now! And he is the one that talked me into getting them in the first place. Very disappointed and even more so for the two poor angels that are now stuck in my own small quarantine tank until hopefully I can find someone that will take them . Poor fish. And I will never go back to this store.

So glad I found this place. Owner is great. Love that the fish are quarantined before sale. Tanks are all maintained nice. I saw no sick fish. Also no shared water between tanks. Great place to go for guaranteed healthy fish! My Bolivian Ram is doing well.

I've been keeping fish for 55 years, back in the day there were true hobbyist stores. Haven't seen them for 25 years, until today. This store, has a great variety of healthiest fish I've seen in all my years visiting shops. Not a sick fish in the store. The prices were very fair. In one trip it became my store.

I was hoping for some cheaper more basic fish, but my daughter loved the ones she got. you can tell the maintenance on the tanks is top notch. We will definitely be going back.

Great inventory for a smaller (square footage) store. Some really cool exotic species and a great selection of your more common stuff like Cichlids. Has decor and a good selection of foods also. Priced pretty well for it being a smaller store.

HANDS DOWN best fish store in tristate area if you are a freshwater hobbiest! I've been to every aquatic store in Cincinnati and NKY and this is the only place that quarantines their fish for 10 days at his house before he even puts them in the store. He has the healthiest fish I've seen in a LFS. Carry's all top notch fish and needs. If your a cichlid lover like me this is the store you wanna shop at.
