It's a new month, Fish Fans 🐠💕 ... and that means it's time for a new friend!

You all probably saw the axolotl picture on Thanksgiving, but here's a couple more because they're just so darn cute. We have six of these little guys looking for their forever home.

Stop in and meet them as well as all our other cute critters and beautiful fish. There's a little something for everyone! We're open daily 10-5. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Happy Thanksgiving, Fish Fans! 🐠💕

We are CLOSED today (11/27) for the holiday but will be open our normal 10-5 tomorrow. We hope you have a fun, safe holiday and an opportunity to relAXOLOTL with friends and family.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Happy Monday, Fish Fans! 🐠💕

It's Thanksgiving week and we'd be LION if we said we weren't thankful for all of your support throughout the years. We wouldn't be here without all of you.

We're open our normal 10-5 hours every day this week except for Thursday 11/27 when we're CLOSED for the holiday. Don't worry - we're open both Black Friday AND Small Business Saturday, too. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Brrrr... 🥶

Well, Fish Fans 🐠💕 ... you can definitely feel the season starting to change. This is around the time that folks turn their ponds off for the year. If so, don't forget to plug your air pumps in and sneak a de-icer in your pond before we get a good freeze.

De-icers are a higher wattage than an aerator, so you don't need to plug it in right away but it's definitely easier to have it in place before you need it. (Ask me how I know... 😜)

Stop in any day between 10-5 and get any pond winterizing items you need. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Happy Halloween, Fish Fans! 🎃

Time has gotten away from us since we've been deep in the pond winterizing process, so please forgive the lack of posts. We hope you have a fun, spooky holiday! Don't forget to stop in and see us to make sure your critters can get some sweet treats, too! 😏

We're open daily 10-5 and look forward to seeing you soon~

TGIF, Fish Fans! 🐠💕

If you've been watching the radar, you know we're in for some wonky weather starting Sunday. Don't be caught unprepared!

We have battery powered air pumps for sale to use as back ups in case you lose power. Remember that keeping air moving is the most important in an outage. And even if your fish are on a specific feeding schedule, it's better to have them skip meals for the short term if the filters aren't running.

We're open daily 10-5. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Happy weekend, Fish Fans! 🐠💕

There's only one thing that can make a Saturday better than it already is... and that's a FREE POSTER to color. (I'm sure that's a statistically backed statement 😉)

Come in and see us any day between 10-5. While you're already here finding your new best finned friend, snag a poster. The gift that keeps on giving!

We look forward to seeing you soon!

We hope you have a PLANT-tastic day, Fish Fans! 🐠💕

If you like the pop of color that plants bring but lack a green thumb, we've got you covered. Check out our side room and see all the fun ornaments we have for your fishy friends.

We're open daily 10-5. We look forward to seeing you soon!
