Beautiful fish and extremely friendly owner and staff. My 7 year old has been enjoying the YouTube videos. We finally made it over to the shop. It was everything the kids dreamt of and more. The owner was so welcoming and my boys even got to feed the giant fish . Next time we need fish supplies Ill excitedly support this business!

Ordered a cactus pleco from them and the whole experience was great. Friendly, helpful timely and most importantly the fish came on time and healthy in clean well maintained water. The fish came into my tank full of spirit and active. They took the necessary precautions to ensure my fish was safe during a heat wave. Needless to say I am happy.

I wish I could give better ratings but unfortunately my experience was less than optimal. I took my 9 year old brother here because he had seen the Youtube videos and loved the plecos. We purchased one that seemed healthy but died less than three days later. All other fish in the tank were fine except for that one and the water levels were fine. I reached out to the company and they seemed willing to replace it at first but stopped responding shortly after. I went back to the store to buy a different fish and asked about replacing the fish and was told that would not be possible. The second fish I purchased has again died within days of the purchase with all water levels, food, and other fish being fine. For the price these fish should not be dying like these. On both occasions the workers were extremely rude to us in the store, not coming to help us and giving an attitude when we asked for help. The fish they have are great but the tanks are extremely crowded, particularly having large stingrays in tanks they can’t even turn around in. There are also many dead fish in the tank and they are not kept well. Wish it was better, especially after spending as much money as I did on two fish :( Also, my brother has shared with me that the owner complains about customers on his Youtube videos which I feel is not how a business should be run.

I drove over from clearwater solely to go there. If you want something simple and inexpensive you are wasting your time. If youre looking for the rare and often bigger than you normally see then this store is the stop for you. Just go in there with the understanding everything they get is imported and often rare, that does mean not cheap.

What an Awesome Place To Physically See Some Monster Fish Without Getting Wet or Bitten!!! Also, a Very Cool YouTube Celebrity Turnout as Well!!! I Will Be There Again Next Year With My Youngest Son!!! Hopefully, It Will Not Be as Hot as it was This Year!!!I Look Forward To Going There on a Non Monster Bash Day...Even Though I I Drove Just Over 4 Hours From Jacksonville To Check It Out and Will Do it Again in 2020!!!

Ordered four peacocks from them while they were quick to respond about their availability once the fish arrived it started a down hill trend. Two of the four bass appeared to be normal and what was labeled. The two others were different one was half the advertised size it was supposed to be and the other was basically skin and bones not normal purged fish skinny. But since it was still arrive it did not break their live arrival guarantee. While in quarantine it popped up what looked like Ich it unfortunately not it was much worse freshwater Velvet. This ran rampant in the quarantine tank which had some long term established fish in it which also died but that is no fault but my own. I understand importing and selling fish and business want to keep your cost as low as possible but someone who talks about quality fish this order most definitely wasn’t especially for someone of their reputation.

I ordered online and got a lemon Oscar in great condition who had great packaging when I opened the package with vivid and bright yellow colors who was already happy in the tank after I acclimated him and was eating his second day in the tank and since this was my first time ordering online it gave me a very pleasant first experience

Best aquarium shop in the country. If you want a piece of extreme this is your one stop shop. The place is like heaven if you are into river monsters. Rodrigo and his wife are extremely friendly and they love the hobby as much as I do. I have been to many stores around the country but predatory fins has the most amazing and impressive collection I have ever seen. Please keep up the good work and thank you for all you do for the hobby...

My son insisted that we visit this place on a recent trip to South Florida. He watches videos featuring Predatory Fins on YouTube. The place isnt easy to find, its behind where you would think it would be, with auto-repair all around it. The door is very non-descript, with no signage indicating what it is. Inside there are huge tanks housing huge fish. These are big-money fish, no $3 beta-fish inside. Its not really my thing, but my 13-year old was thrilled.

This has got to be the single most unique fish store I have ever known, and I’ve never set foot in it. After a failed attempt at keeping African Cichlids, I decided to try an Oscar. Well the Oscar is nice on its own, but was the only fish in our tank. I started seeing videos on YouTube about Predatory Fins. I was hooked, and soon started watching everything they had posted up. I also began researching all the fish they had in stock. I soon settled into the pleco’s, and all the stock they had, most I had never even heard of. Then I saw the video on the Black Dragon Cactus Pleco’s, I knew from there I needed a nice exotic Pleco for my tank. The Black Dragon, and Red Tail Cactus Pleco’s would grow to be way too big for my tank. I did find that a Leopard Cactus would do fine, and not out grow the tank I have. The Leopard, Black Dragon, and Red Tail Cactus Pleco’s are all Pseudacanticus so I was sold. I ordered a 7”-8” Leopard Cactus Pleco, and was here the next day. This fish has got to be the nicest fish I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Thank You Rod & Lisa at Predatory Fins for being awesome, and all that you do for fish keepers. Can’t wait to do more business. Btw my kiddos love our new Leopard Pleco, it looks like a dragon inside our tank

This is the best place to go when it comes to getting the healthiest most rare freshwater fish you will ever see. If you cant make it down there they offer shipping. I have received 6 fish from them and all of them have arrived healthy, active, and have eaten within hours of being in a tank. What makes this place the best is the people running it have a true passion and dont care about the money but care about educating and preserving the aquatic life.

This place is awesome! They have fish I never knew you could get. Stuff you never find at you local fish stores.Rob is a really great guy, knows his stuff too..They are not quite set up for retail without an appointment yet though. So you got to make an appointment if you arent buying wholesale. He tells me they are hearing up for that and soon will be ready for retail. Looking forward to just dropping by and picking up exotic fish.

What a joke of an event, nothing but a big money grab. Doors open at 10 only if you spend extra for VIP tickets. Everyone else that bought presale tickets has to wait out in the heat like livestock. Oh and no refunds if you dont feel like waiting (money grab) definitely not buying fish from these people, they in my eyes are dishonest and dont deserve anymore of my money..
