Addicting Aquatics

What a great show. DFW Aquarium Association thank you for putting on such a great event and for allowing us here at Addicting Aquatics to be a part of it. We have been involved in the shows since the first day we started in this hobby and we have seen these events continue to get better. I also wanted to say thankyou to each and everyone of our customers. We saw so many friends and regulars as well as a ton of new customers! We had such a great time helping keep the aquarium hobby affordable! Don't forget, you always need just one more tank!

If you have pics of our booth or of fish you bought from us, please post a pic, tag us, or comment with what you got!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Please enjoy the holidays and be sure to share happiness and cheer with all you meet! I have a goal starting in 2024 to grow Addicting Aquatics and to spread awareness for Multiple Tank Syndrome to everyone we meet! With that being said, I am hoping to post on band and Facebook twice a month. I will be releasing our (available) expo schedule, stock list, and used/discount equipment list in early January. Stay tuned and don't hesitate to reach out!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Wishing you all the best,
Steven Vacek
