Washington’s Home for Specialty Fish, Tanks, Service and Supplies

We are DC’s finest fish sanctuary, specializing in exotic breeds and custom habitats. We’re the only family-owned fish store and aquarium supplier in the area.

Have you ever wondered why you often find fish tanks in hotels, restaurants, and doctors’ offices? It’s because aquariums bring a calming and relaxed aura to any space.

Explore what we offer and learn about creating your own aquarium and filling it with a panoply of beautiful fish. We specialize in show fish like discus, African cichlids, and high-end catfish. And we also carry beloved breeds like betta, tetra, and fancy guppies. Remember, we’re all about fish and not a general pet store — you won’t find cat toys or dog food here.

We offer 50 different species of live aquatic plants — every color you can imagine — that will suit your aquascaping needs. And we have unique and colorful nano fish that max out at under two inches in size and are sure to bring your desktop aquarium to life.

Whether you’re just starting your aquarium journey or are an experienced hobbyist, we have the packages to help you. We know our fish and their needs — some of the fish in-store were even born in our home tanks and raised with us since they were fry.

Visit us, and you’ll see that our fish are colorful, healthy, and thrive in their environments. We’re dedicated to sustainability and ethical care, and strive to offer mostly tank-raised fish.

We take time to acclimate our fish to ensure maximum health and vibrancy.
