Fish Tales Pottery Place — Attraction in Herrin

Most of their care workers only know limited knowledge on a single thing. Their fish are usually covered in ich and parasites or just dead. Though the ones that are in good health are gonna live long lives if you give them a better environment. Their rabbits have been moved so they dont die of heat stroke. Their birds are always seeming terrified and they can't fly. Their dogs seemed scared and their crabs are iffy. The items are WAY TO FU**ING over priced as I had them try to scam me multiple times with a '200' dollar LED light bar. Which makes me angry. Since the exact product they attempted to sell me at Dees is only 70$ for a 55 gallon and the one they were attempting to sell was a 29 gallon one, used and worn down. Plus their fish have given my fish ich before I found out about their horrible and abusive care.

Honestly make the trip to Dees or Petco both places have better staff and care for their animals. I have had SO SO SO MUCH better luck with Petco's animals only had one fish die on arrival due to it stressing alot.

Dees would be the optimal place to go their service and pets outstanding plus their Fahaka puffer fish is a friendly face to greet you in the store!

:) There's the honest review of fishtales. Hopefully...

We stopped in today to check out the fish and were hoping to bring some home. The photos online show their tanks and they looked really nice so we were so excited to get there. Upon arriving we were greeted by many puppies and lots of cool pottery. There was even a really adorable hamster that seemed pretty excited to be alive. Then, we made our way back to the fish tanks. We immediately noticed they have a sick male betta in a tank with other fish and he was covered in ich. They have another male betta in a different tank that seemed well but stressed. All of there tanks were extremely sick. Fish were dead or dying. Many looked to have swim bladder issues and ich. Just totally all around disappointing, especially seeing that their prices are highly that the other local pet stores. if you bring home fish from this store be prepared to treat them for illness. There’s more to fish keeping than a fake plant and pretty rocks. My guess is the water parameters are wayyyyy off in their tanks. If you’re in the market for a puppy they had tons of them and they...

Prices are ok a fish chemicals this is strictly a fish review because the reason why I went was to get a Panda Cory now this is a $3.99 fish plus tax I did pay more but why he was placed in a bag before I arrived and I personally as most fish keepers wanted to pick him out but he was already bagged I also made the worker or owner aware I was driving from Goreville therefore putting him into a bag with no air not a good idea the whole point of filtration is your also providing oxygen in the water maybe she had it but sure didn't put air in his bag for the ride home..... If she bagged him when I said I was omw then he was without air for over a hour fish cruelty I mean seriously any way he died in the bag before I got home !!! I had to drive 25 miles there and home just enough time. So I didn't get to pick my fish I paid 2 bucks extra for him to die during acclimating it was so sad as someone who has 4 healthy Cory fish and about 23 total Wow 😲 is all there...
