We believe that through the power of the ocean, we can help heal the minds and souls of those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Somethin' Fishy is a veteran owned reef hobby facility that also helps veterans who suffer from PTSD, depression and more. Somethin' Fishy is here to help those who need a focal point to help them battle their inner demons. Our facility offers a place for veterans to come and relax, while also providing an outlet for them to express themselves through their love of fishkeeping. We offer a variety of services at our facility, all of which are designed to help veterans in some way. We have a saltwater fish room where veterans can come and learn about reef keeping, or simply enjoy the beauty of the creatures we have on display. We also offer classes on fishkeeping, as well as one-on-one sessions for those who want to learn more about the hobby. In addition to our saltwater fish room, we also have a freshwater aquarium room where veterans can come and relax with the peacefulness of freshwater fish. We offer classes on freshwater fishkeeping as well, so that veterans can learn about this side of the hobby as well. We believe that the act of caring for another living creature can be therapeutic for anyone, but especially for those who are struggling with PTSD or depression. The responsibility that comes with keeping an animal alive can give purpose to someone who may feel otherwise lost. We strive to offer the best products and services to our customers while also giving back to the community. If you or someone you know is a veteran struggling with mental health issues, we urge you to come and visit us at Somethin' Fishy.
Get to Know Us
Somethin' Fishy is a facility for the hobby of reef keeping that is run by veterans and also offers support to veterans who are afflicted with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and other ailments. People who are battling the demons that lie within them and are looking for a focal point to help guide them through the process can find support at Somethin' Fishy. The owner, who is also a veteran, has personal experience with the difficulties that many of his fellow service men have upon their transition back to civilian life. He can speak authoritatively on the subject. After serving in the armed forces, it is not always simple to readjust to civilian life and to reintegrate into society as a normal member of society. This is where Somethin' Fishy comes in; they provide a place for veterans to come and relax, learn about fishkeeping, and connect with other veterans who may be going through situations that are analogous to the ones the veteran is going through. Those who are interested in taking their passion for fishkeeping to the next level are encouraged to visit Somethin' Fishy, where they may take advantage of the various group classes, private lessons, and custom aquariums that are offered there.
However, the major objective of the company is to assist veterans in their recovery on all fronts, including the physical, the mental, and the emotional. There is some evidence that spending time with fish can be therapeutic and peaceful, and that it can give a much needed break from the pressures and responsibilities of regular life. Somethin' Fishy has been a savior for many veterans who are battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression. By giving them something to look forward to each day and assisting them in dealing with their mental health issues in a constructive manner, Somethin' Fishy has helped these veterans deal with their mental health issues in a way that is beneficial to themselves. We are convinced that by offering our services, we will be able to aid veterans in overcoming the challenges they confront and becoming productive members of society. This belief is based on the fact that we have provided similar assistance in the past.
