QUALITY CONTROL

We order our fish from private wholesalers who value quality over quantity. Our fish are hand selected from freshwater farms in Georgia and saltwater distributors in California. We pride ourselves in quality. With tank isolation, preventative medication, and constant care, our staff can guide you in picking out beautiful healthy specimens for your aquarium.

Whether you want to discuss plans or purchase quality equipment and specimens, we are here for you. We have a few new members who are ready and willing to help and we also have expert aquarists available to answer all of your technical questions.

We stock a number of different tanks, ranging from 1 to 125 gallons. Hard-to-find shapes and larger sizes are easily special-ordered and typically arrive within a week. To search for specific products please visit our wholesalers websites at Central Pet Distribution and Royal Pet Supplies.
