Midwest Tropical Fish llc - Jerseyville, Illinois

This is by far one of the best shops in Missouri and Illinois. They’ve always been incredibly helpful and they are the nicest people. The owner is a great guy always ready to share his stories from the fish world. It’s a great spot for all your fish needs!

We have found several of our pets with the help of the guys at Midwest Tropical Fish. They have a great selection and are very knowledgeable about their creatures. From fish to snakes, frogs and lizards. They even have fresh water stingrays!! Who has those!?! Not only do they have a vast selection of forever pets, they have food too. They have you covered on tanks and terrariums too. Stop in and check them out. I highly recommend them.

Very cool place to go see some sting rays and a few other unique cool looking fish and a very large bird

BEWARE! Mid West Tropical Fish is not a trustworthy business.

We ordered two aquariums online. We got an online order confirmation and waited for them to contact us within the next 24 hours for processing the payment, as instructed in the order confirmation. However, nobody reached out to us. When calling Mid West Tropical Fish a couple of days later, a guy named Warren was friendly but pointed out that shipping would cost $80 per aquarium - not $10 as in their order confirmation. But he said that he had sent aquariums to other states before, that it would not be a problem if we were ok with the shipping costs. He had the two aquariums that we ordered in stock. No problem at all for him. We told him we wanted to think about this and would get back to him.

When calling back just a couple of minutes later to confirm that we accepted the shipping costs, Warren seemed annoyed, asked for the contact information (that he already had from the online order) and promised to call back for collecting the payment information. He did not. We heard nothing from Warren or anyone from Mid West Tropical Fish again for days.

So we called Mid West Tropical Fish again to try to give them the payment information. Over the course of the next days, either no one picked up the phone or we were told we would be called back, which never happened. We also sent them an email and got no response. Then we reached Warren over the phone again, and he was very unfriendly. He said he had only one aquarium left but confirmed again that he would send the aquarium right after he received the payment. He also added that he wanted to send the aquarium to us via UPS, it would be not a problem for him. But he was not willing to collect the payment information right away, he said he would call back in 15 minutes to do so. Again, he did not.

We sent Warren an email asking him to get back to us, and again, no response. After a couple of days we reached Warren over the phone again and he put us on hold indefinitely. When trying again after waiting for about 40 minutes in vain, a woman picked up the phone, then we heard Warren telling her in the background that it was the people with the aquariums - and without any further comment she just hung up on us. After we called two more times, they seemed to have blocked our number.

All we were trying to do was buying something from Mid West Tropical Fish via their online shop and paying for it!

If they are not able to sell us the aquariums, why don't they simply tell us?

Warren is not a trustworthy person. Mid West Tropical Fish is not a trustworthy business.

Worst shopping experience ever. BEWARE!

I've been a loyal customer for years.
Nothing but quality product and service here.
This pic is an example of some of the fish I have gotten here.
They are freshwater.

The owner is very nice and informative! He cares a lot about his stock and was able to tell me exactly where his fish came from! All of his fish were very healthy and tanks were very well maintained! I will definitely be back to buy my stock from him!
