Exotic Aquatics Off The Island

We’re Aquatic Oasis, and we’ve been an aquarium shop and pet store here in Chicago, IL, since 2020. We specialize in exotic fish, and we offer pond installation, tank maintenance, custom builds, and more. We started this business because the owner Brandon always loved fish. His father introduced them to him at an early age and he's loved water or anything aquatic e

ver since. What makes our difference is that we are African American owned and we aim to benefit the people of the community. With Aquatic Oasis you can find exotic aquatics from off the island. We’re looking forward to partnering with South Holland, Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, and surrounding area consumers to continue to offer a premier aquatic shopping experience. We’d like to personally invite you to stop by for one of our selections of exotic fish, today! Products:

We will still open on the 15th, at the new location, with feeders and select items available.

Our website will soon be open with more inventory for purchase with in-store pickup & delivery options available.

We appreciate our loyal customer's patience and understanding, and hope to re-open soon.
