The best fish store in town and the best variety. They are definitely worth what you pay for the fish. Service can be a little slow do to having minimal staff but eventually theyll get you what youre looking for. Very very knowledgeable about the fish they carry as well.
Hands down the BEST fish store I’ve EVER been in! Not only is it PRISTINE clean the staff is extremely knowledgeable. They love their fish and it shows. Honesty once you walk in you’ll never go anywhere else! I can’t wait until my tank is ready for fish!!
Great Variety Of Fish, Fauna And More !
This place is great the fish look healthy the tanks are clean pricing is great. The tanks they have on display look awesome. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The coral is awesome and the ones I have bought have done great. Will be back for future purchases.
Best fish store in the area. Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! Competitive pricing. If you love fish its impossible to stay away from this place.
Store is amazing!!! It is now my go to for all my pond supplies
Great variety of fish,corals ,salt an fresh water fish very clean tanks and great service
Good selection of all things aquarium fresh and salt, good service
Went here for the first time today and wow, i am blown away. This is one of the best fish stores ive ever been too and i will definitely be coming back often. They have a giant selection of saltwater fish and supplies, corals, plants for freshwater, anything you can think of. Everything in all of their systems looks very healthy and well taken care of. Their prices for their fish and supplies are absolutely phenomenal. The staff are very friendly and extremely experienced in both saltwater and freshwater and can help you with any questions you can possibly ask. I live an hour away from this place but this will be my new LFS :-) Very happy that this place exists. I am currently working on a planted reef tank and was looking for some more macroalgae species, sadly they only had chaeto for the time being so i hope they can start carrying different types of macroalgaes, especially red ones. They have a huge selection of coral covering every price range, and they said in the next couple of weeks they are getting in a big shipment of even more coral. Oh and they also make their own aquariums there too! They make the highest quality acrylic aquariums ive ever seen i would love to try one out sometime, ive only ever had glass aquariums
Amazing store! Staff is very friendly and helpful. A very wide selection of aquarium supplies and fish. If you happen to meet shayla she is very knowledgeable and likes to educate, so feel free to ask her anything about aquarium related topics.
Outstanding product! The installation was really as easy as described and the fountain looks great. This may be one of the easiest outdoor projects Ive completed in many years.
First time to Blue Thumb and it will NOT be my last! They have the highest quality aquatic plants I have ever seen. Their Koi are gorgeous, healthy with a stunning array of colors! The perfect company to help a novice or expert pond person setup and/or maintain a pond or water feature. Thank you Blue Thumb - we will be seeing you soon!
Surprising place to find fish of all kinds. Was immaculately clean. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Didnt get around to all the rest of the retail side of things for live rocks and fish food. But seemed well stocked on everything. Only reason Im not giving this place 5 stars. Definitely will bump up if I get to go back when I dont have a waddle.
Walked in here today for the first time.Long story short.Service was awesome. Very friendly.Their products are top shelf.Ill definitely be back !
I came into Blue Thumb wanting to start a planted aquarium, but having very little clue what I was doing. Kip was so patient and kind, and answered the mountain of questions I had. My aquarium is off to a great start, and weve since been back to pick up a few more things and had just as great of an experience. They really provide a level of customer service that shows their knowledge and passion for the hobby; I wont go anywhere else for my aquarium needs!
My favorite store!! Tons of stuff and fish. I get all my aquarium plants and fish there. Also bought my filter system there. Comparable prices to Amazon and dont have to wait 2 days.!!
Very clean aquarium s with a great work staff
I walked in to blue thumb retail store and explained to this guy I wanted to start an ALL MALE peacock Cichlid aquarium, He said how hes kept peacocks in the past before switching to saltwater, so I wanted 4.. this guy, every single peacock were girls, He tried to explain how they would color up later on, I had suspicions, so I contacted an expert to look at them and she confirmed they were all FEMALE peacocks, their not gonna color up. Now Im stuck with the wrong gender, its not that hard to spot male vs female in peacocks its a difference in bottom fins so, Im not sure if it was just lack of knowledge..
Huge selection, knowledgeable staff, also freindly. They also maintain corporate tanks for places like hospitals and such I guess and they have a lot of pool supplies in addition to the salt and freshwater tanks equipment and fish.
Excellent aquatic selection and local resource for aquaponic supplies!
Great selection of marine and freshwater fish along with pond supplies(their main income)Killer deals on corals and frags, definite gem
I am an avid saltwater hobbyist and I am extremely pleased to have a local store like Blue Thumb that I can trust and support. The variety of fish and corals they have in stock is satisfying, but more so, everything is healthy, eating, and pest free. Every fish that I have purchased so far was eating the same day I acclimated them into my system. Every coral that I have bought has also thrived without issue. Whats even better is the fact that they will price match major online retailers!Livestock aside, they also have a wide selection of dry goods. Supplements, equipment, accessories and aqua scaping materials are plentiful while remaining organized. The staff are friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend
Although theyre abit pricer then competitors you can find an array of aquatic species that are not usually find in shops around Saginaw. Tanks are clean and well maintained. Their salt water selection is impressive. Im considering a transition, as Ive owned a fresh water tank for about 15 years.
Very helpful staff. Clean store. Healthy fish. Go here before a chain store.
Our company has worked with Blue thumb for close to 20 years. We have found the owners and staff to be our best choice for top quality products and superior knowledge of industry trends and the like. We are most recently proud to know that they are making many of there products in the USA! They are our companies only source for water elements!
Store is clean and well set up very knowledgeable staff as well good selection on fresh and saltwater fish small section of coral
Best Saltwater Store around. Great selection. Good prices.
When you first walk in the store you know youve found the real deal and you havent even seen the fish yet. Theres tons of quality products and some set up aquariums, even a couple vivariums and a in the back paludarium. The store is clean and organized, even during the chaos that goes with opening a new store. The tank racking system is clean and lightly decorated, allowing for fish to show their true colors and have some privacy if needed. While at the time of this review they dont have all their fish stock in, they have more variety than what youd find at any chain store. I was delighted to see the betta in a small racking system (yay for no cups!). They also have a HUGE selection of aquascaping rocks and wood and dont even have it all put out yet. Im really excited to see this store again when its fully stocked, but even in its current state, its definitely up there in the best fish stores in the state.
Store far exceeded my expectations, even for summer stock there was plenty to choose from!
Great store, friendly outstanding staff! Very knowledgeable and very happy with our new tank and service!
Very friendly and knowledgeable about the fish they have in stock
This place is awesome! Knowledgeable staff, friendly, great selection, and one of the workers had blue hair which is super cool!
Typical visit. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Well stocked. Professional. Feel good about buying local.
So helpful and knowledgeable helped me get the right fish for my community tank and food for my live water plants
Im not easily impressed by the business practices of most companies, but the folks at BlueThumb surprised the heck out of me this summer with their willingness to help with my problematic landscaping project. Thanks to Kip Northrop and his staff, I have a new water feature in my garden that works beautifully and delights my senses. Blue Thumb has earned its high level of customer satisfaction, not only because of its quality products, but also because it is a company with heart and integrity.G.F. Cantrell, Sedona, AZ

2022-01-27Absolutely loved everything they have to offer. Always healthy fish and very very clean tanks. Employees are exceptional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for pond equipment, fish, tank supplies, advice, and entertainment. I say entertainment because I literally can just go here and enjoy looking at all the fish and things they have to offer.

2021-12-19This is by far the best fish store in the area. Clean tanks, healthy fish, beautiful corals, and very reasonably priced. The staff is so helpful! I dont know her name, but the Gal who works there is the best fish person I have ever seen.

2022-02-21By far, the best coral selection in the region, unless you want to drive all the way down to Lansing ( to Pruss Pets) you wont find a better selection. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, not like other stores in the area that have kids running things who dont have a clue about half the stuff they carry.

2022-02-12If youre into aquariums this place is a must-go for the Tri-cities, and offers a fantastic aquatic experience. You wont find everything under the sun here, but many things you cant get elsewhere. Prices are reasonable.My first visit I found a type of Kuhli loach Id never heard or seen of before for 3 a piece, and some parasite medication I didnt want to have shipped during cold weather. Get there asap.

2021-09-06The people here are awesome! Theyre kind and knowledgeable. The fish are healthy and they have a great variety of both fresh and salt water fish. Most of their fish are priced very reasonable. I really really wanted to give them 5 stars but I believe theyre products are too over priced.
