    I’m new to the hobby and they’ve been amazing to do business with! They always give good advice and make me feel comfortable asking questions no matter how basic they are. The selection is great and just looking at their tanks you can tell they care a lot about the health of their corals and livestock. I always trust that I’m buying healthy stock from them. Compared to other shops, they are head and shoulders above everywhere else I’ve been.

    Beautiful show aquariums with fully grown corals. Prices on frags were pretty good too.

    I came in Saturday looking to get some coral and livestock for my tank. I left with a pink fairy wrasse, diamond goby, torch coral, and two zoa frags. I thought the 100 dollar price for a torch coral was very reasonable and 20 dollars for the zoa frags was good. Everything I bought is happy and healthy so far. Sunday I went in and bought a 80 lb bag of coral pro salt. I’ve been looking for a LFS that is close enough and not too expensive and I think I found it. I will be back!

    Nick runs an awesome lfs. One of the only local shops with high end corals and also more affordable options all at an awesome price.

    This is the best fish store in the greater Houston area. The selection of fish and coral is unmatched. They had a fish I’ve been trying to track down in person for a couple months. I happened to discover them by accident. I’m extremely happy with all my purchases I got- and they were all very fair pricing. I’ve been in probably 15 fish stores around here, they had a few species of fish I’d never seen in person. Very impressive. 10/10

    Love this store! Best live rock prices! Very knowledgeable staff.

    Hands down, definitely one of the top 2 or 3 shops in the Houston area as far as I'm concerned. They have a great selection of healthy looking corals and a solid fish collection for sale with an attentive staff. Keep it up guys!

    I’ve been keeping a reef tank for about five years now. I popped in one day and spoke to Nick. He was clearly busy, but took the time to chat with me about directions to go with my tank. I found him to be very mellow and knowledgeable. He was clearly helping me find things that work for my tank and not just selling things to me. I’ll be back in.

    This place takes good care of their fish, invertebrates, coral and customers. Love this place, its very clean and owner is very knowledgeable.

    The staff are really nice. It seems like they stay busy and turn over live stock frequently. It is a small space so social distancing is slightly difficult. Don't go in if there are a lot of people. Their prices are inexpensive and competitive for other area marine aquarium stores. They are a marine (saltwater) only store. Their coral prices are better than other places. You can find smaller sections of corals compared to other places, too.

  • 5/5 Wesley B. 6 years ago on Google
    Great lfs, very clean and well kept, little to no dead fish, very good quality livestock with a good selection of corals at a fair price, I just picked up a non photosynthetic gorgonian the other day and it is doing amazing in my tank. I've visited this location several times and will continue to go back

    Little slow getting help, but could have just been that they were letting look around. Once we got assistance all our questions were answered, and we were helped in finding the best specimen for purchase. Large variety of fish to choose from.

  • 5/5 Juan O. 2 years ago on Google
    They had a huge black Friday sale! It was great will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone on the hobby.

  • 5/5 Jesus G. 2 years ago on Google
    They have a huge selection of saltwater fish and the staff is very helpful making the process of buying fish not stressful at all.

    We absolutely love Nick at ocean life Aquariums. We found him over a year ago and we have bought most of our coral and all of our fish from him ever since . You will not be disappointed by the care and knowledge be gives .
