General Info
My name is Kerry Kardell and I am “The Fishman”. My love for aquariums and their inhabitants started over three decades ago when my father purchased for me my first aquarium from my local fish store. I was hooked “pardon the pun” and from then on no weekend was complete until we had made a trip to the local aquarium store to check things out. As a matter of fact, I frequented it so much that in 1982 they gave me a job. Now being that I was very young, my day consisted mostly of learning about everything, but my interest was mostly in keeping saltwater systems, “which at the time were still pretty archaic, with regular use of undergravel and external hanging systems”. The rest of my day was spent doing grunt work, like bagging natural gravel in five and ten pound bags, and cleaning feeder flats and corner filters, “30 to be exact,” on a daily basis. But for me, as a young man, working in that environment was essential in setting the ground work for a life long career.

We have a saltwater tank for many years. Thanks to Kerry now we really know what a true aquarium service really is. All other guys should learn from Kerry. He provides very professional, reliable and honest service. He helps the fish tank "headaches" go away.

I’ve had a saltwater reef tank in my office for over four years. Before Kerry took over two years ago, my old so called specialist had used the wrong filtration system, so my coral and fish kept on dying. Now that Kerry has taken over, my tank actually looks and functions as a reef tank. Kerry always walks in my office on time and with a smile. He’s very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. I’m very happy with his work and highly recommend him. He is THE FISHMAN.

The aquarium has never looked better!

I have had a saltwater aquarium for around 12 years. During that time I have had numerous specialists taking care of it but it has never looked better than it has in the last year since THE FISHMAN has taken care of it. He has an impressive knowledge about the chemistry required to keep both the corals and the fish alive, and which organisms will thrive together. I no longer feel that my tank is a death sentence for the creatures in it. THE FISHMAN is organized, his prices are fair, and he is a welcome person in my house. In addition, I trust him completely with access to my house when I am not here.

The right guy for the job

Kerry (The Fishman) has been doing the maintenance on my office tank for over a year and I can say that he is the best! Kerry is also a great guy to shoot the breeze with. He always has good things to say. I know that he is also a very good family man.

So, if you need a real down to earth guy to do the maintenance on your take please give Kerry a call.



Thanks Kerry! You Rock!

The Fishman

Kerry is the best! Kerry stepped in and saved my fish!! I was under contract with another service that wasn't staying on top of my pond. I was told that everything was fine as the pond turned green and the fish began to show signs of stress. Kerry was very diplomatic as he explained the status of my pond and what the next step would be to bring it back to a clear healthy environment. He cares about your pond and fish as if it was his own. I invested a lot of time and money creating this beautiful garden and now I have someone who sees this as I do and not just another account. Kerry is prompt and he does what he says he will do every time, not just in the beginning of his service contract like so many others. I couldn’t be happier with his work. I highly recommend his service. He is a great guy with a great attitude!
