A good selection for a hobbyist. They have fresh and salt water fish, tanks and accessories. Stock rotates often but not too often, so if they don't have something I know they'll have it in within a few weeks. Only animal I've ever bought from them that presented as sick or died was a mystery snail. Fish can be expensive, which is something to keep in mind when buying schooling fish. All around a pleasant store with a good atmosphere and helpful staff.

Amazing little fish shop. Great level of selection of dry and live goods for both saltwater and freshwater tanks. Also really nice selection of corals last time I was there. Had to catch myself from drooling last time I was there. Best coral selection in the area hands down. For saltwater they perform a week of quarantine and observation which is amazing and not common. One area they could improve on is a better selection of frozen foods but not enough to knock off a star. Staff seems very knowledgeable and friendly as well.

Amazing store and great staff! I'm definitely coming back, it's worth the drive! I got a Betta and some khuli loaches, I was impressed with the selection.

Great fish store that just recently opened. Has a large selection of freshwater fish, especially African cichlids and at least 5 species of rainbows when I went (Gary Lange’s strain of emerald rainbows, millennium, New Guinea, dority, and eight line). Great selection of betta fish also, the people take real pride in the way they run their business and the fish are healthy. Great selection of food and treatment products and hardscape as well. They also have a large selection of live plants and shrimp. Overall great place to go for freshwater hobbyists, the saltwater section has not been set up yet but it looks to be coming together great, just an FYI. Prices are also very reasonable. Visited 12/24/19. Pictures were taken of my home tank.

Had what I needed at a fair price. This shop is for a serious hobbyist, but they took good care of a casual guy like me.

Great selection on anything and everything you need for your fish❤❤ even got an adorable Falco hawkfish for our saltwater. Plus, some gorgeous orange rili shrimp. The two gentleman that helped my husband and myself were super awesome and very knowledgeable about their fish and corals. Definitely recommend these guys to anyone I know that are into fish

This store is absolutely beautiful and the staff are all wonderful. Extremely helpful (Emily helped us out), patient with my desire for loaches that refuse to be caught, and listened to my different stories about my fish experiences so far. They even special ordered a glass lid for my brothers 75 gallon. I will 1,000% be coming back here and highly recommend taking a trip here, even if just to see the amazing assortment of fish.

Fantastic place. We just bought a new house and finally have the room for a fish tank which I’ve wanted for a while so today was the day. We chose Benson’s because the reviews looked very promising. I can most certainly say that even 5 stars doesn’t do it justice. We live 40 minutes away and I promise that the drive is most definitely worth it. I’d much rather make the drive here than settle for any of the local or chain pet stores around here.
You can tell immediately that all of the fish are so very well taken care of. The store is very nice and clean and has a decent selection of anything you need. Customer service was on point. We were greeted when we walked in and asked if we needed help. I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember what the girls name was who helped is but she was great. Gave us a run down of all the tanks and found which one would suit us the best. I was torn between fresh and salt water and she walked me through the pros and cons of each until I decided on a fresh water tank. She then made sure we got everything we needed to get it started. I’m excited to get everything set up and I will most certainly be back when it comes time to get fish and any other aquatics needs.

We have homed many fish from this location. The fish are all quarantined for almost a month before being sold, and that shows how well you can trust the health of these fish.

The prices are even pretty good. They do have a lot of fish from local breeders which makes it even better.

The only thing I wish that changed is the online presence, an updated social media or website that shows stock. But that's moreso a preference.

Say hi to Felix! He will most likely smile at you!

Staff is always friendly and helpful. An excellent store to shop if you are a novice as the staff are knowledgeable and willing to take the time to pass their wisdom. Also a good store if you yourself are knowledgeable as they have a wide and vast selection of accessories, equipment and fish. If they don't have something, chances are they can get it if you're willing to wait. Almost once a week we drive 45 minutes to an hour out to the store and each visit is nearly as magical as the first. Prices are competitive. Pricing on some items is significantly less than big corporate retailers.

Where do I begin? I guess ill start with.... WOW!!! What an amazing shop! Today was my first visit and can say with confidence it will not be my last. I had the pleasure of working with Matt and it was a very enjoyable shopping experience. The store is very clean and inviting. The tanks are crystal clear and not over crowded. And the prices are very reasonable. If you have a tank or are thinking of setting one up, I would advise you to stop in and see what they have to offer!

I made an online order and there was a delay on a product I ordered. They handled the situation very well; I am very satisfied and will be ordering from them again!

Went in yesterday for the first time and had a great experience. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to salt water fish. I would highly recommend this aquarium.

Hands down the absolute best please to go for all your aquatic needs. Fish are top quality and always changing so you're never looking at the same stuff week after week. All the staff are extremely knowledgeable,friendly and helpful. They have there own brand of food that my fish absolutely love. I can go on and on about BFR the store,staff,fish and everything else. I will definitely continue to shop here.

The fish are healthy, tanks are beautiful with incredibly knowledgeable & helpful staff that recognize their 'frequent flyers' {although I do believe they should have a program for such return buyers where every $10 spent at $100, earns you either $10 off a $100 purchase, or 10% off your next purchase, etc!!! Return customers should be honored, in my opinion, esp those who solely buy their aquarium needs here, like my son!} though all customers are greeted well, offered experienced help, waited on with care & concern until your needs are met!!! WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP, PEOPLE! FORGET PET PLACES FOR FISH. COME HERE WHERE THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FISH & YOUR AQUARIUM. I've been to 'pet stores,' & bought fish myself before & the staff knows little to nothing more than I can read on the tank labels!!! NOT HERE!! HERE, THEY KNOW! THEY HELP! THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR FISH & YOUR AQUARIUM!
