01/25/2024

Star light, star bright, these plecos are pretty tiiight.

01/18/2024

That look when you realize you need a filter change... me and my newest buddy Logan in the shop today, rocking one of our TLA onesies like a gq baby.

01/11/2024

What do these red lizard plecos, ghost glass cats, frontosas, pompom crabs, pea puffers, otocinclus, frogs, flaming prawn goby, clams and eels have in common? They all hate the music we play in the shop. Save them and find some music they do like.

12/24/2023

CLOSED CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY! See yall Tuesday!

12/02/2023

Things I'm excited about this week!

10/27/2023

Don't forget to help someone out this weekend and bring some peanut butter by for our peanut butter drive. Last weekend to donate! Get in that good karma!

10/21/2023

Calling all sweethearts! Help us help others by bringing some peanut butter for our Scare Away Hunger food drive. We'll be accepting donations all month. Why peanut butter you ask? It's delicious, kids love it, it has a good long shelf life and it's very nutrient rich! If we've helped you out before, be a pal and pay it forward! It's good karma. We could all use some!

09/30/2023

Fluval dealer day tomorrow! We'll have raffles, specials on fish and equipment, and some might tasty food from my homie JJ, owner of . Poke and kahlua pork plates free with purchase of 10 bucks or more (while supplies last! ). Be there or be square!

09/26/2023

09/02/2023

So busy laboring that I forgot to let yall know we're having a little sale this weekend!
Also, this Monday sept. 4th we're closing up early at 2pm.

07/18/2023

I love when something comes in the shop that gets my wheels spinning and makes me want a tank. These little bonsai tree woods are just that. Is it just me or are they screaming to be part of a 40 breeder chili frog forest?

06/27/2023

Another day in the life. Stretchy pants and bleachin plants.

04/24/2023

Goodness gracious, these discus are BEAUTIFUL! Fresh batches from the cool crew and my buddy Gil at discus direct. These hard water beauties are already moving so come take your pick!

04/20/2023

VERY SMALL BATCH of TLA puff puff pass hoodies available now, med thru 2xl! Just in time for, Thursday... And more of the TLA classic tees back in stock too, my favorite shirt...

Come grab yours before they disappear!

04/18/2023

One of my favorite aspects of running The Love Aquarium is all the different people who have and continue to become part of our aquatic community. Lots of cool folks with amazing skills, connections, hearts, and minds. Last year, we were fortunate enough to have another one added to the TLA team. Our friend has been kicking ass since he started here and this month he's working to raise funds to help find a cure for juvenile diabetes. Doing something to help kids who are suffering could be the best part of your day today! 5 bucks? Just pretend you bought some stupid sriracha socks on shamazon that got lost in shipping. They were probably toxic anyhow.

Scan the qr code with your camera and let's get some good karma spinning around. Be a freaking legend.

04/08/2023

Closed Sunday for Easter! So if you want to get the tank freshened up with some fresh new life, come see us tomorrow 4/8! New cichlids and other fresh and salt gems, and some extra juicy plants still left from , in addition to our regular shipment.

03/31/2023

Too. Many beauties in this week to show them all! Guess you'll just have to come take a look yourself.

03/17/2023

Another glamorous day in the life... but since i have you here, do you ever think about your tank as if it were a glass of water? You see one teeny tiny floaty in your drinking glass, that you probably put there, and you're disgusted and would never drink it. Well, your tank is a glass of water, just bigger. And it has animals living in it. How do you think they like old floaties in their water? But the tank is clear you say? They're alive you say? But you have a filter you say? If you filtered out the floaties in your 2 day old cup of water, would you still want to drink it? Water is their entire world. Act accordingly!

03/11/2023

Stoked on some super sweet happenings in the shop this week! Our shirts are finally back in stock thanks to my homie Sam at who printed us up a nice batch. We're also happy to start offering 10 gallon tanks complete with LED lighting and full ground cover! And of course fresh piles of new fish we haven't had in a while (green neon tetras, cardinal tetras, bichirs...) and tons of plants. Stop on by this weekend before we sell out of your size!

02/14/2023

Yay! Ultum tanks and soil back in stock with some awesome new setups. The new Foresta paludarium, which comes ready to rock and roll with return pump, fogger, sweet fogger holder (for a mysterious cascading fog out of the back wall!), moveable planting pads that pop right into the back wall and some plant line to tie your beautiful plants to them. I think we have to set one up! More rimless tanks, including some beautiful 9 gallon all in one tanks, which have a black glass rear wall, which is great for keeping your display perfect (many tanks have a plastic rear wall which is tough to keep clean). And of course more ground cover tissue cultures!

12/17/2022

What is hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know! Some would say this new batch of Fresh TLA hats are fairly chili. Others might say what the hell does fairly chili mean? You'll have to decide for yourself. In any case, listen to what is hip, by tower of power.

12/10/2022

Just admit it, fish shopping is more fun than Christmas shopping... there's always parking, nobody get trampled, and we would never force Alvin nor any other chipmunk in your ears!

10/31/2022

Pretty tasty looking batch of discus showed up today. I've never personally kept discus at home before, but I'm going to have to at some point. Especially since these ones are tap water tolerant! But this does not mean crap water tolerant! Actual maintenance of water quality required...

10/28/2022

I think i might get more excited about new plants than new fish... We just got our plant shipment yesterday and the plant tanks are fully stocked and looking lush! A few new species and some old favorites. And finally some Rotala H'ra for all the scapers who have been asking about it!

10/22/2022

48 years ago today, we lost Jimi Hendrix. People always talk about the music he would have made, but what he did in those 4 years was more than enough to secure his place as rock czar of the universe. He's got way more music out than you know about. Go find it and rock on y'all. Also, get an aquarium. #theloveaquarium #rocks #jimihendrix #peace #love and #rockandroll #stratocaster #guitar

Little shot of the clown in our 180. Soundtrack by @boyzIImen . Stay fresh yall. #theloveaquarium #boyziimen #fresh #reefer #clownfish #trumpet #coral

Cheech and Chong moved into a new home today, and to christen their new sound system we had to go back to the days when The Love Aquarium was just an idea, when @doncatmusic was just a donkitten, and we made musical love together on the regular as Wonderland PD. @mxpoll , count us off baby. #theloveaquarium #cheechandchong #wonderland #pd #juke #aquarium #audiophile #wonderlandpdplaysthehits #mcm

Started on my rice bucket challenge video, but figured I would show off some of the new fw fish we got this week instead. Open all weekend including Monday!
