About

BBB Accredited. Have you ever wanted your own piece of the ocean in your home or business? or looking for exotic animals from around the world for your next party for some fun entertainment? As long as I'm around, you won't have to lift a finger and have fun learning a thing or 2. From my first fish tank 7 years ago to managing 2 pet stores over the years and now having upwards to 1000 gallons of fish tanks at home with breeding exotic reptiles from around the world. I have been lucky enough to make my hobby a full time career and I'm enjoying every minute of it. My goal is to see you enjoy this hobby as much as I have over the years.

Did a great job cleaning the fish tank. He appeared there on time and was very open to discuss what he was doing and very personable. Would always call him for assistance with our fish tank. Very respectable and cordial. Love his personality and level of comfort.

Bob was so professional and knows his stuff. I have a 75 gallon tank with community fish, and it clouded up terribly with an ammonia problem. He came immediately when I called him and went right to work. I have asked him to help me maintain my tank, so I can enjoy my fish and not have to worry if they are being taken care of properly. Thank you so much Bob! 🐠🐟🐡
