Such an amazing store. This place has the healthiest fish and plants and very good prices. I’m so happy with my purchases here I wish more businesses took so much pride and care in what they do. I’ll never purchase anywhere else. I’m hooked lol. I felt like I needed to come back and edit my review. This business will not sell you stuff you don’t need they will just make everything easier for you. A business I trust and you can too

Amazing experience overall, Nathan was extremely helpful and informative when it came to picking out which fish we wanted to add to our tank. He also came out to clean our tank and did a great job with the cleaning and making the tank look full with the existing decor, much prettier than the old company we had. Would 100% reccomend.

Nathan is amazing! He first came to our house to clean our large fish tank and left it looking its best in the last 5 years.
His store has quite an amazing selection of fresh and saltwater fish. Nathan is very knowledgeable and will give you the best advise on what to get or not for your tank. We would highly recommend him for all your aquarium needs.

Nathan runs a great store and can answer all your aquarium questions. He always has something new for sale and maintains a large inventory. Nathan has performed bi-weekly maintenance on my 150 and 70 gallon cycling tanks and he has come to save the day when I had a couple of equipment emergencies. Five star business, honest and fair.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely the Best Fish Tank Store Around!

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was in the right place. This store is truly a hidden gem for both beginner and experienced aquarists. The selection of tanks, fish, plants, and supplies is unmatched — everything is organized, pristine, and clearly curated by people who genuinely care about aquatic life.

What really sets this store apart is the knowledgeable and passionate staff. I came in with only a vague idea of what I wanted, and they took the time to guide me through every step — from choosing the right tank size, to matching compatible fish species, to offering pro tips on setup and maintenance. They never pushed unnecessary products, just honest advice and real expertise.

The fish themselves? Absolutely stunning. Healthy, vibrant, and well cared for. No signs of disease, stress, or overcrowding — a clear sign of high standards and ethical sourcing.

Prices are fair, and the value you get is incredible considering the quality and the support they provide. They even offer in-store water testing and setup help for those new to the hobby.

Whether you’re starting your first tank or looking to level up your aquascaping game, this is the store to trust. I walked out not just with a great setup, but with the confidence to care for it properly. I’ll absolutely be back — and I recommend it to anyone serious about creating a thriving aquatic environment.

🐠💧 A+ experience all around!

I am very happy with my purchase. I have been calling stores all over the Colorado area and there were no axolotls anywhere. After calling literally every store in Colorado, this one popped up on my list. I called hoping they had baby leucistic axolotls. They had 4 left. I talked with my best friend, who I would be getting the axolotl with and she told me to try and reserve two. I’m glad I did because when I called again there were only two left. I reserved them for only $5 extra! Which is pretty good because the guy had to hold them for a few days before I could come and pick them up. Very happy with my purchase! My friend and I went together and now we both have our amazing little babies. I definitely recommend this shop. I will include a picture for anyone who is curious what they look like.

The owner was very patient and helpful in helping my 6yo pick out fish for her 10 gallon tank three weeks ago. She ended up getting 6 Cherry Barbs and a guppy. All of the fish are very healthy and active, and a lot of fun to watch. I absolutely plan to shop here again when we upgrade to a bigger tank.
