    Beautiful store. Showcase tank setups and healthy looking fish. Not your average rows of boring tanks packed with dying fish. Very nice selection of various substrates, rocks, driftwood or spiderwood and plants. Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. This is a good store to go to if you are wanting to set up an aquarium with quality materials and real accurate advice from experts. A far cry from Petco.

    Great new shop. As someone who hasn’t kept fish in a very long time, I am considering getting a tank for the kids. I have been in twice and the guys were very happy to help answer my questions. I am planning on buying a tank as a gift for Christmas and will definitely purchase it here. Attractive tanks in store with good quality fish, media, and a quality selection of products. Looking forward to our aquarium investment!

    Haven’t had fish in a few decades. Daughter wanted to have some so I went here based on the guys being small business owners. I was presently surprised with the amount of knowledge this friendly staff holds. Derrick helped us get everything we needed for the tank and was patient answering questions we had about the process about setting up a new tank. Overall, I would recommend anyone interested to go to this shop for their aquatic needs. I plan on going back for any of my future needs. Thanks guys.

    Awesome, clean, friendly fish store. I spoke with Dan, Derek, and Ben who worked there and they were all very friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed to really be there because they love what they do and not just to push sales and make a quick buck. I watched one of them handle a difficult situation with another customer with such grace and patience that it brought me joy to see that kind of customer care still present today. If you are looking for some fish, shrimp, aquariums, supplies, etc., be sure to come check this shop out. While you're there be sure to stop and say hi to Birdie the puffer!

    One of the best aquarium stores I've been to in a long time. Layout of the store is really fun. They have mini-benches where you can just sit and view tanks and they have two interactive tables, where you can do design mock-ups of hardscape materials. The staff was also really friendly. Overall, an excellent vibe.

    Gorgeous store with a great selection of nano fish, plants, and hard scape! They have something new and cool almost every time I visit. Ben, Dan, and Derek have always made time to help me scape and stock my first nano aquarium. They’re a wealth of knowledge to lean on for people new to the hobby like myself. They’re passionate about the hobby and it really shows. I highly recommend giving Rivershore Aquariums a visit!

    Outstanding aquarium store! This is such a nice, clean, and well stocked store. The aquariums are perfectly maintained with healthy fish, invertebrates, and plants! Hard to find equipment and tools as well as premium wood, rock, and other tank decor. The team is very helpful and knowledgeable about every aspect of aquarium set up and ongoing care. Check it out!

    Rivershore was such a help in getting me started with my first tanks and I officially have 3 tanks from them, and half my fish from them! I’ve been to many of the fish stores in the cities and the fish they carry are some of the healthiest I’ve seen. I’d like to especially talk up how healthy the bettas they carry are. Every store I’ve been to keeps their bettas in little cups, and while I don’t believe that’s necessarily bad in the short term, none of the bettas in cups I’ve seen look as happy and healthy as the ones at Rivershore, in actual tanks. The store itself is beautiful, full of fully scaped aquariums of different sizes, plants all over, a disco ball, and overall very bright and fun atmosphere. The workers/owners are very quick to greet you and help you out with whatever you need, and they all are clearly very experienced in aquariums and fish care. It’s clear in the way you talk to them just how passionate all of them are! Overall my favorite fish store in MN. The pictures included are of some of the fish in their store, as well as my 20 gallon that is stocked almost entirely with plants, wood, and fish from Rivershore.

    I love this fish store and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. The store itself has a beautiful neighborhood feel to it, with a wide variety of fish, plants and aquascaping supplies. The tanks are beautifully set up and maintained and the fish look healthy. The staff are beyond amazing, and full of knowledge about everything aquarium.

    I visited twice and had the best experience. A staff member spent time giving us more information on the fish we were getting and helped us pick out specific ones out of full tanks. We also got beautiful spiderwood and the guppies were beautiful, sadly we had problems with our tank and the fish all died but I would definitely go again.
