![]() Staff sucks there was a lady that was very dam rude to me. I didn't really like it and I just left the store. THEY will never receive my business again. Fish4ever 21:39:04 8/17/2007 |
![]() Despite the beatiful selection and well kept store, the staff is rude and looks down upon the mere recreational fishkeeper. I have never been treated worse at the dozens of LFS's I have visited. I will never go there again RP 05:07:39 5/17/2007 |
![]() Six Fish!!!!!!!! This is the best FW store I have ever seen, granted I'm not from a metropolis, but I have never seen anything like it ever. Planning to come back to Portland to visit a few more stores. Staff were very knowledgable, and spent an hour or more helping ME, even though the store is fairly busy. While i was being helped by the manager, she fielded two phone calls to help customers with problems they were having with their tanks, and gladly offered sound advice for any question i posed. I found many fish here that I had been searching for a long time in my home town, and others I'd never even heard of. Prices were competitive, and I was also able to find some hard goods I haven't found at home. Awesome selection of aquatic plants, as well as the cleanest tanks and healthiest fish I've seen. For a store with this kind of selection and this many tanks, I didn't see one quarantined tank not for sale because of sick fish, I saw only one tank not for sale, and it was new shipment under observation. Didn't see one fish in the store I wouldn't buy!!!!!!! Only downside i could think of was no SW whatsoever, but for a store like this that's almost an upside, then they can do their job better.

![]() excellent selection. everything was healthy. but i waited forever to get what i wanted. and frankly i was treated like i didnt know anything. but still with that kind of selection. i will go back |
Excellent selection of freshwater fish. Staff really knows their stuff! Andrea is my favorite! Robyn Adams 05:05:41 3/09/2006 |
Great selection of freshwater fish, including lot's of cichlids - although very expensive in this area. This store is often busy and you have to wait which is expected. The RUDE staff however is always an unpleasent surprise. I've seen people walk out angry at the way they have been treated. Doesn't seem that the owner cares much though. Ben 23:19:15 12/29/2005 |
Great selection, amazing fish & plants, snotty staff. Steve 19:17:56 5/29/2005 |
Great fish! Best tanks I've seen around town in regards to the unusual. Very knowledgeable staff, though a little rough around the edges sometimes. The best times to go is during the work week first thing when they open. Staff will warm up quicker to you then. fishpimp 10:15:53 2/15/2005 |
Great store, great prices on supplies. Good plant selection, great tanks. They sell lots of young fish so you can watch 'em grow! Staff is great once you get to know them. Prices are a bit more than my other favorite store, but I've bought both fish and plants here, and love to stop buy to browse often! antong 09:25:10 2/14/2005 |
I have always loved this place-I won't buy fish in the Portland area from anyone else! The staff are experts, the store is beautifully maintained (cleanest tanks outside a biology lab), the fish are healthy (or they will not sell them), and they have an additional location where they breed many of their fish (mainly cichlids). They also have a nice selection of true aquariumn plants. The downsides to the Wet Spot are few but can throw new aquarists. The staff is a bit snobby about their knowledge and are quick to make you feel like an idiot when you don't know as much as they do. Expect to wait for service, as they usually have two or three people to serve 10-20 customers. Due to their high volumn of customers, don't expect them to show much interest in hearing about your aquariumn (unless you have something extra-special). Still, the best place in town! |
oh ya! nirvana baybay. its all here. plus stuff u never heard of. i luv the scientific names used. prices are over my pay grade, but u get what u pay for! i cant say enough about the selection or staff. last i was there everyone was up on their fish. i if u have never been here it is a must see. i suggest going in on a lunch break or 7 pm as it is less crowded. ask to see the bernie show! the giant clown loach in the back tank used to do tricks and made it onto channel 6 news. i kid u not! fishboi 01:21:07 11/08/2004 |
Great fish, great plants, clean tanks! One drawback: you may have to wait for service. We've had to wait up to 45 minutes to get fish, and we knew what we wanted. dd 07:22:02 8/04/2004 |
The staff here are very knowledable. They carry lots of weird fish you've probably never even heard of at very fair prices. Their tanks are always clean and never over crowded. My favorite fish store!!! R.G. 22:21:57 8/03/2004 |
