@lloyd378 had official first review:

"Update: store recently reopened and now they are fully stocked…..with that said, they still have room to expand ( African cichlids and large tanks if they want).

Overall Experience 5
Cost 5
Quality of Fish 5
Variety 5
Service 5

Staff was super helpful, great selection of fish, They had a few rarer types of fish, some beautiful koi betta, cheap tanks, and excellent prices.

I’d say their prices are equal to petsmart , but the tanks were healthy and clean. Highly recommend people swing by.


The new location is right inside the Buckley limits. The store sits right behind the shell gas station on the left as you enter town."

You guys are lucky to have all these places nearby; it seems like they're all ~90 minutes from my place. And given the fact that the likelihood of their having any of the fishes I keep is virtually nil, there doesn't seem much point in making the drive, even though I miss the 'window shopping.' I guess the last time I visited a fish store with any regularity was to go to Kevin's place in Burien, but that was quite a while ago.

I agree with that for you.

The best “African” fish section is at aquarium paradise, and unfortunately for you, they rarely carry any lake tanganyika cichlids . Though about a month ago I did noticed a large group of trophus spread out amongst a number of tanks ( multiple species , but seemed like only one or two per type). I’m guessing a local hobbyist had a mismatched collection of adults and decided to go another direction.

I used to sell lots of Tropheus to Kevin back in the day, but primarily just one or two types.

I miss APFP. My favorite store and favorite owner. Kevin is good people. Love that guy.
