This place has been amazing with helping me with my fish problems both fresh and saltwater. The staff is very intelligent and informative. I always feel like they are trying to set up me and my tanks for success with their recommendations. I highly recommend them.

Have gotten some fish and things to set up my new tank. The employees were knowledgeable and very personable.

So after a few years of being in this store at least once a week, I must change my five star to one star. I moved right about the time Shelby sold. My tanks have been up and running since beginning of November so I figured it was a good time to swing by and check out how things were going with the new owners. Not impressed at all!! Store was dirty and dark. Several dead fish on the ground that had obviously been there for quite some time. There was even a razor blade on the floor toward the back of the store. Quite a few of the tanks seemed either in quarantine or something because the lights were off on them. Several of the tanks with the lights on seemed dirtier than usual. Sad sad sad.

This place has a really nice selection of aquatic life, and it all is clean and very well taken care of. I watched them feed a blue-spotted sting Ray and a cow fish, super cool. I'd feel safe buying here for my reef.

I just started, with a tiny tank and a couple of guppies. Shelby was extremely patient and helpful, with a great selection. I’ll be back soon for those shrimp!

Was a little disappointed by this place. The staff is super friendly and helpful but half the tanks had a dead fish or two in them. Or an abundant of algae which made me question the actual health of the fish. I will say they have a good variety of fish but I don’t know how healthy the fish actually are.

This place is great they've got such a big selection on saltwater and freshwater fish I'm a beginner as far as having an aquarium goes and they have given me so much advice. I've never had a bad experience with them anytime I go in there to get more water for my aquarium. I think these people are pretty great and it's the only place I go for fish.

Tons of livestock, fresh and saltwater. If you are looking for something you can't get anywhere else, shop here before ordering fish or invertebrates online. A turtle pond in the back of the store keeps your family entertained. Family owned and operated. Buy your dry goods elsewhere. That's NOT their forte. They expect dissatisfied Pet-x store customers.

Live Art has all the fish. I was so busy looking around that I forgot to take photos, but if they don't have it, they get it for you. They carry both freshwater and saltwater fish, from neons to coral starters. I don't even know what most of them are, but the staff is knowledgeable and helpful, so just ask!

After hearing mixed reviews on this place I decided to check it out. I wasn't very impressed, it was dirty but people were friendly and I ended up letting the kids pick a coral out. When we got home I was checking the coral out and it was covered in vermited snails. I have had a tank become over run quickly by these little pests so I wasn't taking a chance. When I got back to the store she offered to sell me bumble bee snails...but I wasn't interested in buying something to fix the problem I was just sold and settled on a refund. I'm greatful she was willing to refund but still sad. I would have loved to have found a new spot to purchase corals.

Any YouTuber who studies aquariums will find this a good place for supplies. Fish are healthy and have been acclimated. Aquarium plants are good looking and have also been acclimated to life "underwater". Aquarium enthusiast will understand. Staff is attentive, courteous, selection is varied, fresh & salt, competitive prices for quality. You need to see their star sting ray swimming around. Nice shop

They are the BEST in the business! They truly care about the fish and the customers. One of our fish wasn't looking so good.(after hours of course) I facebook messaged them and they responded pretty quickly and helped us feel at ease. Thank you Live Art Aquatics!!

Stopped in while traveling too look around met the new owners as I was told extremely nice people very knowledgeable and excited to be doing what they are doing wish I was closer so I could come by more often and be able to get something for my kids awesome people keep up the good work

Came in from out of town checking a few pet stores. This store had extremely friendly staff and a great variety of aquatic stock! They had very fair deals on some equipment too! Looks like they take a lot of care with their animals especially the ones they breed themselves! Will definitely recommend and visit next time!

I absolutely love them I buy all my fish there they have a really good special order list as well plus free water checks

I got a few axolotls from here, and they are happy and healthy. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer questions that I had regarding care. Definitely going to be coming back

Very knowledgeable staff and great selection. Live this store.

Any Salt Water aquarium hobbyist in KC should have Live Art Aquatics on speed dial. Locally owned and operated with very knowledgeable employees . Shelby is an awesome owner! We were able to get a replacement light for our salt water tank setup we bought from them over a year ago at no cost! They care about the animals and they care about

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good prices.

This is such a great business. The people are extremely kind and helpful and happy. My kids love looking at all the diverse aquatic life they have for sell and on display. The display aquariums are truly inspiring. The workers are never annoyed by us just looking around. It's practically a field trip! They are also very knowledgeable and we love the selection for our home aquarium. Thank you Live Art Aquatics for being so awesome!

Very nice store good prices and berry nice and helpful staff

Over priced and never had any good selections of freshwater fish. Pet co down the road has the exact same fish for even less the prices.

The owner and staff are very helpful. They always take the time to answer questions and provide advice!

Super friendly and patient with us . Setting up our first tank I think we've been in 3 times in 2 weeks needing help.. always willing to take the time to answer our questions

Could use more employees but the experience overall was good. I bought a fish from there and a couple aquatic fake plants. If I could give half star it would be 4.5

Great place to saltwater fish/supply and meet good people. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable amd supportive.

I was truly blown away by this place! The fish are diverse and seem happy and well taken care of. Every person working was cleaning a tank or feeding a creature while I was there. It ended up walking around and looking at everything for a while before buying any fish. The place was welcoming and the people working were helpful and friendly. I am looking forward to going back.

Great store with a awesome selection of fish. The staff is super helpful and the prices are good.

Knowledgeable helpful workers. They have a big variety of plants and fish. It's a busy place!

We came to this store a few months back when we bought our new home that came with a 200g tank. Never owning a tank before we had a lot of questions. The first day we went in was Wednesday when the owner has the night off but we eventually were helped by her parents. I love that it's a family shop and we loved the selection. They got their freshwaters in that day so it just worked out. They had us bring in a sample of our water to test and even came out after hours to look at the tank. We ended up getting about 25 fish over the next few months. Until a couple days ago when our tank sprung a leak. We saved all the fish and had to transport them back. She offered to hold onto them until we got it sealed but to do so was too much for us We are now going to get a bearded dragon but won't stop stopping by to get our fish fix. Maybe someday we'll get a smaller tank but I appreciate her and all the help she's been. Never knew I could enjoy and come to love my fish so much💗🐡🐠

I love this place! Everyone is very knowledgeable and always very helpful.

Check the hours before you go but they are a great small, independent shop. It might be intimidating. They can get quite busy at times and customer service suffers as a result. I have experienced more than one sales rep of the opposite gender just ignore me completely and move on to other people. Not once or twice but a pattern. When the right people are there I get great help but I don't know the people schedules because I don't work there. I just want to go in and shop and get help and do the things that a fish store does. I think they may have an identity crisis of are they an in-store fish shop or and online or fish cleaning service. One cannot be all things to all people at all times unfortunately but they know their stuff I give them all the credit in the world for that.

I love coming here because the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Although, lately I feel like the selection has dramatically gotten worse. I used to come here and get beautiful guppies and have a big selection and last time I went there wasn't really much to pick from. A lot of fish are store tanks only.. so those fish aren't for sale. I just feel like with a better selection I would want to come more frequently...

People here are very friendly and helpful. I have learned a lot from staff. I enjoy coming in here even when I'm just stressed to check out the different fish. They also have tons of different plants and succulents. She is very reasonable in price on everything and helps support local breeders. This is my go to for fish and plants.

It was okay and they didn't really had a whole lot of fishes on display and they usually mentioned about they can check out their Facebook page.

They have a great selection for salt and freshwater fish. The employees have been a great help. Also the special order system is amazing.
