Their WhatsApp line is very helpful with advice and letting you know what fish they have in stock before you come through, and will even reserve them for you! Their staff on the floor are incredibly knowledgable and their fish variety is insane and all their tanks are beautifully displayed and SO clean!

I was new to keeping goldfish and the team not only took the time to educate me on the reality of my new hobby, but also got me set up for success. Avoid the hassle and heartache of figuring out fish keeping on your own and get properly set up at Sam's!
The best aquarium supplier I have ever visited. Clean tanks with healthy stock. A wide selection of fish and plant species. Great range of equipment and other supplies.
My family has been going here since I was a kid and I now have 4 amazing tanks with their help. Amazing stock of beautiful and well taken care of fish.
Great products and even greater staff! They really do go above and beyond for you. A special shout out to Wade for his excellent advice and great sense of humour.
