I’ve seen/heard people complain about smell/how hot it is, but honestly if you know anything about owning fishes the smell is what you expect with a whole store full of tanks (normal) and the temperature is for the fish tanks to maintain it’s freshwater temperature for the fishes. I have been coming to this particular fish store since I was 8yrs old. First it was at N.Shepherd but now they moved to Tidwell St. The owner is so sweet has always been sweet and understanding and honest without a doubt. You get great deals and good wholesales here!! Fishes are amazing and in VERY great health.

I loved this place!! They're having 20%off on everything in the store. They're remodeling the shopping complex and everything has to go. Shop local and help the owner re-home all the fish. I've always purchased from them.

I went to get a Betta fish for my granddaughter, and the staff was so helpful and knowledgeable! They gave me such helpful tips and the selection was absolutely wonderful!I will be referring all my friends and family!

Fish are always healthy on the way out of this place. Personally I've had a few trial and errors but I'm still learning. Really the best prices for whatever you may be looking for.

Went here today and as soon as you walk in you’re greeted by a very cute kitty. They had a nice variety of fish for honestly pretty reasonable pricing. Left with 4 fish and a cool shrimp for less than $20.00. If I’m ever in the area again I’d definitely stop by to see if there was anything new (:

Healthy fish, great prices. Fish are kept in separate tanks that don’t share the same water, keeping any potential diseases contained. The owner runs the store himself and is very knowledgeable. I love supporting local small businesses.

My go-to spot for my fishies and reptiles needs! I've been going here since 2009 when i got my 1st betta and tank set up👍 New location is nicely set up..Very clean and stocked. I love bringing my kids here to check out the variety of fish and the overall experience of getting everything needed to care for them like I was shown when i was little🙏❤

Love this place! Affordable live plants and great selection of fish. I always find something new every time I go. I have been going to Houston Aquatics since I was a teen. Mr.John is very nice, patient and knowledgeable. All of my purchases have been (and still are) healthy.

Went today and got some fish. While the prices were great, the customer service was not good, the tanks were filthy, and within an hour one of the fish died. We were definitely not impressed with the selection either. We traveled almost 2 hours just to come here and were really disappointed.

I was really let down by this place. The reviews looked promising so I went to check it out. We found it pretty easily and the kitty that greeted us at the door was very cute, but as soon as we went inside my husband and I both were hit with a really strong smell and it actually made us both gag. The tanks were really dirty, particularly the angelfish tanks. There were 4+ dead goldfish visible in one of the first tanks you see when you walk inside. The floors and shelving were all dirty. So unfortunate because the prices were great and there appeared to be a wide variety of fish available. I feel some maintenance and some deep cleaning could make a real difference at this store.

I usually go to big box stores but this was a nice change. I can tell the owner really cares about his fish.

Have not shopped here yet but definitely will be! I have just started getting into the fish keeping hobby and needed some advice for my sick fish. I called multiple places in the Houston area and this was the first one who didn’t sound less knowledgeable than me(a super newbie) John was extremely professional and patient listening to me try and explain what was going on.

A lot of different fish to choose from! I went in asking what was the best choice for a fish in a turtle tank and well I wasn't disappointed with his choice

The prices are very affordable and the selection of fish are great!!The staff member in charge was kind and patient as he answered all my questions. Overall, the service was great, I would highly recommend this place!

It has awesome selection of angel fish and guppies ...it defiantly isn't the most beautiful shop ..but it has nice selection and I like it's an independent shop...hard to find ..literally had call and it was right in front of us

The owner has a vast knowledge of fish and he has super cheap prices on fish and tank accessories.

I don’t understand how this place got the reviews it does. It was not a welcoming environment and felt as though whoever it was didn’t want us there. He never spoke and kinda followed us at a distance. We just left without buying anything.

Great variety of fish in healthy condition! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, and it's a cozy environment. There are two cats who like to hang out with you as you shop, making the whole experience even more personal. Would highly recommend!
