They both got the blacklight rocks, they both got the haunted castles that your Tetras can swim through the portcullis and out the godddamn turret window, and they both got those treasure chests that open and close (how?!?). I say it all the time- Respect to both Harry AND Mark. We all got enough respect to go around. And if you don't? Betta get out of the tropical fish game, you follow me? I've spent hours/days/years at both and I consider the squads at both FAMILY. But Marks is like the family you see at weddings and funerals and Harry's is like the family you see at Thanks-G, YKWIM?

Even for a goldfish dilettante like me, be prepared to be blown away. You will not leave empty-handed! The first thing you'll notice is how clean everything is, from the supplies to the shelves to the water in every single tank. Wow! That's like telling a fish to "clean your room" and they do it. An incredible selection of fresh and saltwater fish here, some of them looking like they are from another world (and are priced accordingly). When I asked a staffer, how do I tell the gender of these guppies, they scooped two up in a net to show me. I'm thinking of raising a family. A zillion beautiful tanks, pumps, supplies, food and everything else you might need in a relaxed and friendly setting. My new fish, Alpha Betta, likes his new digs but tells me that he misses home.

Aquarium City is one of those places that reminds you why local fish stores matter…read more Every employee I've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about fishkeeping. I've asked plenty of questions over time and have always received thoughtful, accurate advice. In fact, some of the best advice I've gotten there has been when they talked me OUT of buying something that wasn't right for my tank. Their fish are healthy, their tanks are clean, and the overall level of care is obvious the moment you walk through the door. As someone who pays close attention to fish health and aquarium maintenance, that's something I notice immediately. I drive past other stores to shop here because I trust the staff, trust the quality of their livestock, and know they care about the animals they're selling. That's earned my business for the long term.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Aquarium City. From the moment you walk in, you can tell…read morethis place is run by people who truly care, not just about their business, but about their customers and the animals themselves. The selection is incredible. Everything is clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up. You don't get that overwhelming, chaotic feeling that a lot of aquarium stores have. This place feels organized, calm, and honestly just really beautiful to walk through. What really sets them apart though is the customer service. They take their time with you, answer every question no matter how small, and you can tell they actually know what they're talking about. There is no pressure and no upselling, just genuinely helpful guidance, which is so rare these days. I also really appreciate how much they care about making sure you're set up for success, not just making a sale. They give honest advice and want your tank to thrive long after you leave the store. Whether you're brand new to aquariums or have been doing this for years, this is hands down the place to go. You can feel the passion the second you walk in. I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly, highly recommend.
