The Local Fish Store - Aquarium shop in Morton Grove - 6014 Dempster St, USA

My mom loves this store! They helped her learn how to have a beautiful and healthy tank. She’s there almost every week and they so patiently answer every question and help her get the best fish, water, equipment for her tank. Great customer service!

Disliked it I've visited this business twice now. Both times I didn't hear a welcome or greeting upon entering the store even though I saw two employees present both times I called in advance to see if they had red root floaters for sale. They did and told me they are $6.99 "for some" when I asked how many are included in a purchase. I drove 20 minutes to go buy "some" and when I got there the woman working offered me "one" red root floater the size of the tip of my little finger fingernail. *One* for $6.99 LOL. Every other business that I've ever dealt with would provide anywhere from 30-50 red root floaters for a similar price- not one little floater. So that's what I did. I walked out and gave someone else my money for a 4 oz cup full of floaters. I also saw Betta fish at $50 no more impressive than the Bettas I see at Petco less than half that price. All-in-all I don't understand the rave reviews about this store. The prices are unbelievable and I didn't see much of a selection of aquarium substrate for purchase or any hard scape at all. I'll probably go elsewhere in the future for aquatic fish and supplies.

They have been very patient and helpful in getting me going with my new tank. I highly recommend them. They are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They are also darn nice people.

We loved the staff, the music and the wonderful pup. Such a fun store. I’m sure kids wouldn’t mind stopping by as well!

Always friendly and helpful with a nice selection of freshwater and saltwater fish. They have fish you won't find at your other big box store and tanks are very clean. We are return customers and have gotten an assortment of freshwater fish and snails from this shop and have not had any problems with sick fish. Also, super friendly pup that's good with children!

Very kind and cozy place. I’m lucky enough to live fairly close to them and root all my needs in one place. They are very knowledgeable and understanding, high selection of both freshwater and saltwater as well as crustaceans and shrimp.

This is my main livestock stock store when it comes to fish and shrimp. Most big box stores with aquatics sections have poor stock and poor staff. If you like freshwater and saltwater aquariums this is where you want to spend your money. They also have a small collection of freshwater plants and corals for sale. But livestock is where they shine.

The staff there is very friendly and very knowledgeable and helped me pick the best fish to add to my aquarium. They also warned me about potential hazards of adding certain breeds of fish to my tank because water conditions weren't suitable or conducive for the survival of the fish.
