EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Posted on Taylor HindsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best fish I’ve ever bought!!!!Posted on Cade LawrenceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended QC Aquatics by a friend, and they exceeded all expectations. The service was next level, the interaction was a pleasure, and the quality of stock is outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the fish-keeping industry.Posted on Adriaan Van Der MeschtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Qc. Best independent shop out there. Sells quality products and healthy fish. Always willing to make a plan if he doesn't have what you are looking for and has more then enough knowledge.Posted on Robert SchnetzerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met QC by chance after scouring the retail market for specific aquatics. What a fool I was for not meeting him sooner, not only would I have saved a bucket load of money with my various tank setups had I purchased from QC in the first place - but more so, QC thus far has been the only Aquatics dealer that has gone the extra mile to source the livestock is was looking for. To be clear, completely legal livestock, just not the common pet shop and retail aquatic species everyone has. Awesome Whatsapp support and although he does not ship orders directly, courier collection is easily arranged and he goes the extra mile to ensure livestock well packed for their trip. If you're not shopping at QC, you're doing it wrong.Posted on Tertius du PreezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service & Always willing to assist. Thanks Q.Posted on Eurian CeylonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing experience.

Thanks Quentin. Was nice meeting you!Posted on Mathew CrousTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic fish store! Amazing, fair prices with a beautiful variety and selection of fish as well as all the equipment you would ever need. Very helpful and knowledgeable owner, QC you the manPosted on nazu PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found qc aquatics by chance while searching for fish tanks that did not break the bank, soon realized that other pet shops are robbing people with prices they seem to magically conjure up from God knows where. Was pleasantly surprised to find the owner, Quinton, to be a darling of a man, who not only sells all aquatic needs at affordable prices but he is extremely helpful. I was a fairly new fish keeper and no matter how stupid my question was he answered them. I, now, walk into other pet stores and advocate for him, because he isn’t just trying to sell you something to make that sale, he wants you and your fish to be happy. Oh and let me not forget to add that he sells some of the most beautiful fish.Posted on Hope MakintaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience from QC, wanted to start having pet fish and Quinton was super helpful and has been supportive throughout the process. Would recommend him any day for anyone looking for anything pet fish and aquarium.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
