Tank service
The shop has serviced an aquarium even when the fish were purchased elsewhere.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check compatibility. Before buying tank mates, ask specifically which species can live together; customers mention pairing a betta with the right species.
Ask questions. If you are new to fishkeeping, ask for setup and maintenance guidance rather than choosing fish without advice.
Ask about service. If your aquarium needs attention, ask whether tank servicing is available even when the fish were bought elsewhere.
Use quarantine. For a sick new fish, ask about quarantine and treatment; one customer was advised to use a quarantine tank.

The Bottom Line
World of Fishes is a tropical fish store in Al Quoz where customers come for aquarium fish, tanks and supplies. Reviews specifically mention buying a first fish tank, selecting betta fish, finding cichlids and shopping for aquarium supplies. The shop also provides aquarium servicing and setup help, including support for a tank bought elsewhere.
The strongest reason to visit is the amount of practical advice customers say they receive. First-time owners describe detailed explanations of fish care, tank management and suitable species, while another customer received help pairing a betta with compatible fish. Reviews also mention guidance on breeding and keeping fish healthy rather than simply being pushed towards extra accessories.
Prices are repeatedly described as reasonable, and customers mention friendly, polite service. Stock appears broad, but it is not perfectly consistent: one review asks for more variety, while another notes limited small-fish options. There are also important cautions.
One customer reported overcrowded tanks, dirty water and male bettas kept together; others reported bacterial disease or a foul smell. Check the condition of the tanks and ask detailed compatibility and quarantine questions before buying, especially for delicate or already unwell fish.
