I stop here occasionally to pick live plants and other materials for my fire bellied toad paludarium. The plants are always healthy and the livestock in my paludarium enjoy the plants I get from here. The only fish I’ve ever gotten from here were some cherry shrimp who were healthy and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and gives fantastic advice about everything you purchase here. I’m not super knowledgeable on fish, but they carry some beautiful little guys along with axolotls, tadpoles, and various pond fish. If you’re new to the hobby or have been doing the aquarium hobby for years, this is probably the best place to go in the DMV area.

Such a friendly atmosphere. Love the shop have been going here for almost 3+ years. Beautiful fish that are actually healthy (unlike most big retail) Small store but so much personality. Always used come here for my crickets and mice. Still come for the fish. Staff are so helpful and welcoming, they always remember faces. Can't think of anything to complain about. Staff are also very quick to help you out can't think of a time where I had to wait over 2 mins or so. They practically have everything and a very cute tortoise in the back during the winter. Will always recommend this store to friends with new reptiles, amphibians, etc for feeders. Just remember not to sit in Lucas' Chair :)))

Not just a great variety of fresh and saltwater fish, also shrimp, crabs, frogs, coral. They seem to be in good health, fed premium food (I watched), and well-displayed. Tanks aren't over full, and tank sizes fit the fish, including several …
