Have enjoyed my recent visits and have found the owner and staff to be friendly and helpful. They will even order fish you are looking for if you ask and they are available. Best part is it’s just up the road from where I live,so super convenient. The only down side is the store hour, so make sure to plan your trip during the week before 5pm....and they are closed on Sundays. Other than that, good prices, great selection, and always helpful.

T&T recently helped me finish my new 310 gallon predator tank. Paul has been very helpful in pointing me in the right direction with tank selection and it even arrived sooner than expected.I am a home builder new to the saltwater seen and choose to do a large built in tank set up. I handled all the build out and left the equipment needs to be spec out by Paul. All product’s are top notch and working flawlessly.When it came time to set everything up T&T came to the house to help me finish the start up process and tank has now been running for several weeks like a charm. No leaks and all equipment working as intended. T&T is now in the process of also helping locate all the various species of marine life I want to have in the tank.I could not be more happy with the experience I had or the knowledge that has been shared by Paul and his staff to help me enjoy the saltwater tank I have always longed for. Would recommend T&T to anyone that has or wants a saltwater aquarium!

Absolutely 100% satisfied with this store. When I walked in, an employee was ready to help me immediately and listened to a problem I was having with my fish. Him and the owner both helped me solve the problem and they showed great care for me and my fish. I greatly appreciate this amazing service.

This place does have a large variety of fishes and equipment. The customer service and pricing however, is horrible. The staff does not want to answer questions at all. They just give yes or no answers and walk away. It’s not like the store had any other customers. He tried to sell me an all in one tank at a crazy mark up. Good thing I did my research before entering the store. Take your business elsewhere people. Plenty of other stores with great service and reasonable prices.

Paul , the owner is friendly and so is his staff. Tyler is one of the staff member who detailed me on various fish types and their fish.to fish compatibility. I prefer to come here than other stores where CS sucks and stores like wal-mart where u cant find no one to serve you. They seem to be ready to help anyone that needs help.

We stopped by to see the pretty fishes when we were shopping at a nearby store. A man was videotaping his talk for Youtube as people surrounded him.Young children wandered tank after tank with parents. The store had big displays that made you want to stop and take a photo!Accommodating employees made time to explain about the fish and types of personalities that would fit into various areas.

More expensive per fish but tank setups seem clean and fish have more variety than most fish stores. Both owner and worker were accommodating and willing to answer questions.

Review №13

Very clean and neat place, workers were always ready to help us and had a great selection of fish with great prices. There were fish with ich/ick which were marked as NFS (not for sale) which made me feel like the employees cared about the fish unlike some other places. We bought a black angelfish with a yoyo loach and a synodontis eupterus (catfish) and they are doing great right now in our quarantine tank just to make sure they dont have any disease, will update this post once they are out of quarantine.Even though it is a 40 minute drive from where we live it is worth it will come by again at some point.(Update)Fish are now out of quarantine and everything is going great!

As a new person to the salt water hobby. I want to go to a local fish store. Big mistake going here tho. I purchased a simple emarld crab for my clean up crew. When I received it I saw it was a crab already dead in the tank. I was assured mine was healthy. Wrong crab didnt last 2 nights and died. Becide the lookof irritation any time you ask a question as if it a problem to help your customers. For these reason I have 30min out of my way t aquarium gallery or Oceqnlife aquarims friendly staff reasonable prices and you can get salt water and fresh water plus reef pets as well. Dont like the review cha he the way you talk, price , and help customers.

Always one of my spot for my fishes and supply. Owner is always helpful and giving good advise. If you are in the area just swing by they have a good reef tank to look at. Corals selection is okay there are more out there but good enough.

If you live in Fort Bend county and are looking for a good store that specializes in aquariums and fish, Id recommend T&T Fish and Reef. Our fish that we got there are now 2 years old and healthy. Very knowledgeable staff.

I have been going to T&T since i was a 11 year old kid. My Dad bought his very First Aquarium from Paul 20+ years ago. I remember clearly when my Dad brought home the 75gal Oceanic Aquarium with Granite finish. Lol. I loved that tank. I remember loving to go to T&T as a Kid and picking out Saltwater fish and Coral with my Dad, fun times. I am 33 years old now and i still go to T&T Reef and Fish.

Review №22

The absolute best place I have ever been to for saltwater corals, fish and equipment. Unbelievable knowledge and cleanliness of water quality and aquaculture practices. The best looking fish and coral - with some of the rarest pieces available. I dont even quarantine when I buy from T&T. I have been in the saltwater hobby for 14 years and they have been there the whole time with me! Solid since the beginning.

Review №24

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I found this store mostly by accident and I NEVER want to buy from a big chain store ever again! Prices are slightly elevated, since its a smaller store thats to be expected. They have gorgeous fish, a wonderful store layout, amazing selection of driftwood and quality items, but that isnt even what sets it apart the most for me. The main reason I am obsessed with this store is because of the attitude of the people who work there.Dont know anything about fish or are just starting out? They will teach you everything you need to know and guide you towards products they know can help you without pushing certain products.Already obsessed with fish? They will nerd out with you!They truly go above and beyond to accommodate a customers needs! Just this week I needed some items I wasnt seeing on the shelves. They bent over backwards to find the right product for me! The atmosphere there is so friendly and open it makes me want to purchase from them to just keep them in business!They truly love their fish and all the workers Ive dealt with have all been extremely knowledgeable and experienced with the hobby themselves. I highly recommend T&T Fish to anyone who wants to get into the hobby or already is in the hobby. They make it so easy and fun to be able to put together a quality tank that will make your fish very very happy.

Review №27

The owner gives personal care and attention to your aquarium needs/wants. We recently had T&T deliver and install our first saltwater aquarium. We already have several freshwater setups that we established and maintain on our own, but when it came to saltwater we just felt like we needed to have it done right.Our 150 gallon saltwater setup has been running for more than 6 weeks, and it is beautiful. We visit T&T each Saturday for some reason or another. Either to get our water tested, get pre-conditioned water for a water change, get new fish as our saltwater aquarium matures, or many other reasons. We just kinda like going there.We are very pleased and grateful for the wonderful care they have given to us. Looking forward to evolving our saltwater setup with T&Ts help. We are also starting to consider having T&T help us replace out African Cichlid aquarium with a larger and more functional setup.

Extremely disappointed as I am a teacher and was looking for some specific aquatic plants. Called them earlier in the day to confirm closing time, and told them that I would be there prior to 7 PM – – which is their closing time on Saturday. I drive more than 45 minutes to get to them and they are closed at 6:40 PM. I will not be patronizing the store in the future—was hoping to develop a long-term relationship with them and my school.

Do your research before shopping here. My daughter picked out a 0.5lb dragon stone for her tank. the owner charged me about 15$ for the rock. Later I learned dragon stone sells for about $2-3 dollars a POUND. I felt completely taken advantage of and ripped off. I will never go back.

Great place to partner with. Everyone here from the top to bottom is knowledgeable and helpful. Of course the fish and coral are great and they will even price match some local competitors but the best part is the people.I teach aquatic science at a local high school and have relied on their expertise many times. In the past 9 months Ive started 3 saltwater tanks with my 14 year old, 12 year old and 9 year old. These guys have helped guide us through the process with care. Even on a weekend when something is going wrong in the tank I have called up and gotten their expert opinions on the phone. Theyll always check my water samples for free and help make sure our chemistries are right. Its the kind of valuable partnership you need if youre a beginner in the saltwater aquarium hobby because theres lots of hurdles and these people will help. I also have my own 100 gallon aquarium and theyve always been great help with that too. Even if youre just curious its a great place to take your kids and look around and ask questions about all the interesting specimens.5 Stars guys - keep up the good work.

Don’t buy oscars from here this man was going to buy like 5 oscars and I seen that most of them had right before he said that I want too see if the guy would sell it to him before grabbing the fish but no so right away I stepped in and was like hey those fish have sick how hard is it to heal them and right away they guy was oh no I just looked at them yesterday and they were fine im like ya right some the whole body was covered in white specks everywhere so he ended up telling the guy he couldn’t sell them but I went back a couple days later and seen the same fish still sick and another guy asking me if I wanted any I’m like if I didn’t tell that man the last time I was there they would have sold them

I recently purchased a fully stocked and accessorized 150 gallon aquarium from the fine people of T&T. Paul and his staff are absolutely the best - professional beyond words. The installation and maintenance is top notch and second to none. I wish I could post a pic. The care of and quality of the products represented is a clear indication of his and his staffs subject matter expertise - well beyond the great prices you pay. They care for fish and the people that enjoy them. I highly recommend you enjoy Paul, his staff, and his store! I do each time I visit.

I have been a teacher in this community for over 30 years and have known and shopped at this store for 20+ years. I only looked and bought minor fresh water fish materials. In the last year, I have built and maintained two salt water fish aquariums and T&T Fish and Reef is by far the best place to shop. The people are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. My daughter lives in Austin, and comes to shop for items she can not find in Austin for her salt water aquariums. She and I love going and looking at the new shipments of exciting new fish, coral, sponges, etc. I recommend this facility to any one who already has fish, fresh or salt, or wants to begin the wonderful hobby of fish aquariums.

These guys have helped me through alot of ups and downs with my aquarist hobby. They are super knowledgable and each employee will sit and answer any questions you have. Jim and Johnny are my 2 go to guys theyre both very well versed in the different filtration methods and what fish can actually go together. Paul the owner is a great guy and is very knowledgeable as well. I cant give these guys enough credit for how much theyve taught me.They have all types of aquariums available from beginner small tanks to massive professional tanks. These guys also will set up and maintain tanks for you if youre not one for keeping up with things.I will always reccomend these guys to anyone interest or already invested in aquariums.

Review №71

If you MUST buy something, only buy when Paul isnt in the store - hes money hungry and quotes higher prices than the rest of the staff. He clearly cares more about making an extra dollar than his customers or animals. Fish are not healthy, if you go in the morning you will see tons of dead fish that died overnight which they didnt get a chance to remove yet. Corals have green bubble algae growing on them (something you DO NOT want to introduce to your tank)! Will not go back ever again!

I think this place is an awesome fish store a lot of fish to look at and a lot of dry goods. The only reason why Im giving it four stars instead of five is because I found the store somewhat dirty... I know the have a lot of tanks but at least clean the glass. Would be nice and there was like a big dead fish with all the live rock I found that a bit disturbing and somewhat funny. Also there bags that they put the fish and/or other livestock that you take home had leaks. Not only did it happen to me but also another customer. One last thing some of their prices where a bit all over the place the pistol shrimp I bought from them cost me 25$ I think thats a bit over priced. All in all other than that great store and atmosphere.

Tony DaoI have a reef aquarium for over 16 years now, and that is my favorite hobby. I have been to many different fish and coral shops, but i can never find what I am looking for, until I found this place. I have found, fish, coral, filters, tanks, and other equipments for my tank here for an affordable price. The employees and owner have treated me in a very friendly and professional way. 80% of my coral is from TNT, and their shop display is very remarkable. I strongly recommend this place for all customers who are into fish.

Just... Wow that was bad. For everyone that thought they have healthy marine fish, go right when they open, before they remove the dead. I counted seven, one in their main display. One in a top row tank liked like it had bed dead for a week it was so bloated. Im tall. It must have been too high for them to see it. Two others were in really bad shape, but still alive.
