Our Story

What started as a free fish tank and a few guppies has grown into a large fish room with new and used equipment for sale. We have a wide selection of fresh water fish, we also take special requests. While we don’t stock salt water fish yet, we have a long term plan to have some available. We can order salt water fish if you request the fish you want.
