Fish Safari is gone. leroy has sold the business. The new owners have turned the store into a shell of what once was a great store. Very limited stock. Nothing special anymore.

Extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Went looking for Fish Safari and MC Aquatics was the new business. I have to say I was not disappointed! Prices were super competitive with other local fish stores actually much less expensive! I paid 18.99 for some Multifaciatus at Aquariums Unlimited and MC had the same fish for 9.99.

I was sad as I thought jungle safari had closed, but it turns out they just moved and changed their name! They are now next door in a larger space and I am excited to see what they do with it. So far they still have an excellent selection of plants and livestock. The staff is very helpful and friendly!

Experience wise they've always been great. I get my CO2 filler and the employees are always helpful and knowledgeable. Top notch.But since they moved from the old location next door and changed their name from Fish Safari, their selection of fish has gone down terribly. They have maybe a third of what they used to carry in fish and plants. It used to be a treat to visit and just browse. Today was actually depressing, as I wanted more sharks and they have none.I dunno if they lost a lot during the move or what, but they have upgraded their equipment and it seems the upgrades came with a loss in live stock.

My wife and I have to many words to say about our experience today. I will sum it up as easily as I can Many years ago I had a reef tank that I killed by mistakes and light penetration. I basically would say im new to it again.We went shopping today to 2 different location, i wont say the first. It was simply to shop. Upon arriving at this location customer service was 10 out of 10. Welcomed by Brandy (sorry if spelling is wrong). Layout of store was simple, clean, straight to the point, easy to shop, selection was just enough to not be overwhelming.Move forward, after wife and I had asked a million questions (sorry guys), we decided to take advantage of their 20 percent off sale. Keep in mind i have been shopping around online to get ideas and for what i wanted (without live rock and fish) was going to run me around $800 to $900. We were then greeted by a Gentlemen , with such passion and great customer service named Brad. He then took over to start talking about setting up rock, to make a good base, and have the caves i wanted etc. Even demonstrated and stacked it on Styrofoam so we could visualize and take pictures to remind us of a great idea. Needless to say, after just wanting to shop, without ANY SALES PITCHES AND B.S, we decided to purcahse, get all the sand, rock, live rock, 2 fish to start the cycle, i came out under 800 and got wayyyyyyy more then i wanted. The customer service alone would have allowed me to easily pay 1000 without a doubt. I was shocked to see prices of certain things to be close to 10 to 15 years ago.All around 10 out of 10. THANK YOU BRANDY AND BRAD for such a wonderful experience and guiding us through this process again. We are thrilled to support this buisness as I once did with Fish Safari.

Brought a pleco(12.99) and 2 other catfish on 4/30 the pleco died Sunday night however when I took fish back yesterday they would not replace due to the water sample.(the fish had decomposed in sample over 48 hrs)When I advised that the 2 other fish were still living and I have purchased fish from them before...I even asked if they would replace with 2 less expensive algae eaters (4.99). They Refused!!!!! I'm pretty sure they have at least 2 dead fish in their tanks weekly??? It wouldn't have hurt them to satisfy a repeat customer however not only have they lost my business but now you have this review!

I really love this store. They have such a great collection, Ive bought fish and snails here and had good luck. Yesterday I bought 3 snails and unfortunately one didn't make it and they were really nice to exchange it for me, just need a water sample, body, and receipt. I can't wait until my bigger tank is cycled and I can start getting some bigger fish here!! I've had my eye on a few if someone doesn't get them before me

Super helpful. Starting my first salt water tank and we’re able to take the time to explain and walk me through the process. I recommend coming here for all you fish needs.

This is my favorite Reef store in Virginia Beach the staff are very knowledgeable very polite and really know their stuff about reef tanks of course the sell fresh water too but if you're looking to set up a reef tank they can help you from the beginning to the end from beginners to pros and the manager take my hair off to her she's very nice person to work with great prices and I can wait from will it be in Norfolk just to come to Virginia Beach you put the good work guys
