Fantastic experience: This is the BEST saltwater reef store in the Greater Houston area. There are other stores, and they may be hit or miss - That Aquarium Place always has an excellent selection of livestock, food, hardware, and please don't let me forget- They have just as much freshwater fish too! Maybe more!!

Benjamin Leon 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was amazed by this store. The diversity and variety of saltwater/ freshwater fish is awesome. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for uncommon beautiful and antique fish. They basically have it all. A bit pricey as expected, very much so for saltwater fish. The workers know their profession though!

Christian Barenchi 2 months ago

Reygan Crippens 2 months ago

Positive experience: Said WOW!!! When I walked in, at first you think everything is healthy, and an incredible selection of saltwater and freshwater fish, the location is great too! But at a closer look, it isn't. All of the saltwater fish were either sick, stressed or dead. Only a few tanks were ok. The prices were ok, some were really nice and cheap, but most were very over priced for sick corals. Don't know how the freshwater looked, but it did look good. The tanks on the saltwater tanks were yellow with tanins, ( not harmful but not nice to look at).They have an ok supply for supplements. What made me really dislike them was the fact that the guy that was helping me was rude, he would ask a question and before I even answered completely he would bash me telling me that it was wrong and to buy a better product, saying everything I have been doing is wrong and I will not have success. He also was vaping every other breath. I do not appreciate vape smoke being blown in my face, and all around me( we were also indoors). That alone makes me not want to come back. No one greeted me when I walked in, no big deal, but kinda shows how your customer service is.

Fantastic experience: I have been using this place for a little over a year now. Been through a lot of fish, coral and fish tanks. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help me out while learning - still learning - and helping me get my tanks up and going. They are always there when you need them and always willing to help out. Shout out to; Jamal, Dalton, Bobby and Matt. Really appreciate the great help you guys have been!! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this place!!

Fantastic experience: They have all the aquarium coop products at retail price at this store!!!! Easy Green and all other products!!! NO NEED TO PAY FOR SHIPPING COST!!! Amazing! Aside from this, all fish, snails, and decoration stones are AAA++++, never had a a problem. My endlers from more than a year ago are still breeding in my tank. This is my favorite aquarium shop in town. Customer service is excellent. They are always offering assistance.

Ceasar Jamandre 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: UPDATED: bottom I'm new to the hobby because my daughter took some kind of aquatic biology glass and gave me her tank. Since then I have turned into a 6 tank home. 4 aquascape , 1 for plants (grow out clippings) and one breeder tank for cherry shrimp. I have got great advice, great help and kind service. There is great prices and it beats ordering on line anyway to talk to people. This place has become my Saturday routine and at minimum I refill my ROI jug. I advise you to go and look, plenty of choices and the coral is amazing! Maybe someday I will do salt water. Only drawback: I can't come during the week because I get off work at 5:00pm and that's when they close. Update: moved into salt and I have the most amazing nano and lagoon reef tank with corals and maybe 20 fish total. Never been pointed in the wrong direction. Everyone is always helpful. 5/17/25 - as always satisfied with the goods and services. Talk to Bobby he knows his stuff

Fantastic experience: Man this is an awesome store. Such a big variety of fish so I can assure you that whatever you’re looking for it’s there. Everyone who works there really cook and knowledgeable about everything they have and don’t mind answering any questions. You’d be disappointed if you chose any other place than here.

Aaron 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I'm just getting back in to reef keeping after being out for many years and even back then Jamal and his crew were my go to. He has since grown and has just about everything you could imagine for a saltwater tank and freshwater from the looks! Such a great place to go, his staff is knowledgeable and his selection may even be better! From fish/coral/nems/clean up crew he has it! Prices are affordable, just going to check out his personal display tank is worth the drive. He's done an amazing job with the place, I won't waste time anywhere else! I picked up two bubble tips and two cleaner shrimp yesterday and they are doing great

Ken Hogan 6 months ago

Negative experience: Third visit to this store! Helpful staff that loves their work and is intense about it! I was excited to return for another visit and made the 45 minute drive. Today one of the reps must have just been having a bad day, just inserting himself into a great discussion I was having with other reps, then oddly questioning me about ā€œeye rollingā€ after only ten seconds of standing there! This great store doesn’t need reps that can’t read a room and have such poor social skills. Mark me highly surprised and disappointed this time and hoping for a better experience next time.

Hey Ken sorry you had this experience After speaking to the crew my guys where explaining about nori and you rolled your eyes at a employee Which is blatant disrespect also Sorry this happened but we believe that customers should also be respectful to people who are working hard to help customers Also how is it that you have one experience that you don’t like and you write a 2 star review seems like other two times you came you never gave us a good review with your good experiences So it’s ok to only leave a negative review only when it suits If you want swing by next time and ask for Jamal we can see if we can figure out how we can give you the experience you would like

Fantastic experience: This place popped up on my Facebook feed as a place I might be interested in. I took the hour drive, and man was I surprised! Great selection of Saltwater fish, plenty of variety from Anthias to Tangs! Now the real treat is their coral selection! Holy Canoli! 4 huge coral specific tanks with tons of great healthy looking coral. The staff is great, friendly, knowledgeable and they also have their own personal tanks, so they have experience. I left with way to much, thanks again!

Mister Blackbird 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: By a far degree, the variety of fish and corals here goes beyond nearly any other store I’ve been into at this size. They have all your common varieties but then so many more species beyond that, that I have never seen in an aquarium store. Also they seem to take very good care of their stock and care a lot about their customers.

Gary Solomon Jr. 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I love the customer service they provide. They always help and are very knowledgeable about Aquarium and Aquarium fish and accessories.

Savannah Nicholson 7 months ago

Negative experience: At first when you walk in your like wow so many options but when you look closer you notice how many fish are dead or dying some fish were eating each other or fighting bc they were over crowded and were a semi aggressive species. The fish looked sick and seemed like they haven't been fed. This is the worst aquarium store I've ever been to. There are so many different aquarium places that are really amazing. Save your time and money don't go here. ESPECIALLY for shrimp as I saw a lot of them had different kind of infections I've had shrimp for a long time and I've never had my shrimp eat each other alive and I'd never seen that happen at any aquarium stores. But they were all eating each other. I know it does happen but there were so many of them eating each other. Save your money and time! Edit : wow what a bad business owner how unprofessional I think this goes to show that you definitely should not go here and how unprofessional to go find my facebook this is not paid as you can go look at my profile I leave good and bad reviews when they are deserving! Why would somebody pay me to leave this review the shrimps I'm talking about were NOT molts I'm pretty confident the positive reviews are fake the shrimps had fungal infections and the trigger fishes lip was rotting off its face same with the starfish with its leg. In every tank the only thing they were feeding they're fish was a piece of cabbage which is probably why they were eating each other. Anybody who knows about fish knows if you are going to give fish that can have cabbage you have to boil it first but from what I saw this guy doesn't care or know ANYTHING about animals or respecting his customers. The cowfish he's talking about has nothing wrong with it as I said he knows nothing about fish he's just trying to make me look bad so he can look good. I'm only posting this because I don't want people to buy a fish and end up having all of they're fish die from spreading parasites.

That Aquarium Place
That Aquarium Place

Ok Karen with your cabbage boil it first lol you don’t know what your talking about keep it moving First of all it’s Romain lettuce Sorry you feel like this is the worst aquarium store ever. Let’s go ahead and clarify something… 1. What you are saying is dead shrimp are called molts. Shrimps molt. 2 and please name a few diseases you have seen on the shrimp 3. Please email me the picture of the dead fish that didn’t have NFS on it bc they are being observed for coming in bad [email protected] 4. Your last remark seems like you have a habitual trait of leaving 1 star reviews or you are paid by someone to write a negative review about my buisness. It’s amazing how people say they know so much about fish and try to bash people. And yes please don’t come back. Have a blessed day and hope you fix the attitude. Also did some digging You have two clown fish and a cow fish Btw your cow fish has velvet on it If you didn’t know that’s a fish disease. You have three saltwater fish, you fish expert. Keep it moving Karen and keep going to petco and pets mart.

Negative experience: Owner would rather blast negative reviews on social media and hide behind their posse while trying to drag your name through the dirt instead of handling business like a professional. Will not be supporting these practices. Response: the fact that you think any bad review is false is just a testament to your poor business practices. My reviews are honest and unbiased. You do not handle your business properly and your responses show just that. You are a disgrace to the fish keeping hobby.

That Aquarium Place
That Aquarium Place

yes of course i will blast false reviews especially when some one feels entitled getting there way and they get told no ( get anniversary prices not on anniversary day ) plain and simple more businesses need to fight back against false review people wouldn't get there name dragged in the dirt if they didn't leave a false review its funny how you and brian amaya have near the same reviews and locations

Fantastic experience: Always a great selection, pricing, and a super clean and friendly store. You can tell when business owners have a true passion for what they do as opposed to just wanting a quick buck. I've bought dozens of fish, plants, and coral over the years here and they are all happy healthy specimens. I even find rare fish here I haven't seen in years! And I love that the knowledgeable staff let's you just wander around without trying to upsell stuff!

Wendy Martin-Brown 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: This store has it all when you are in the aquarium world. Jamal has been my go-to aquarium guy for the last 12 or 13 years. He does the annual anniversary sale every year. He puts it out way ahead of time so you know when it's coming. I have been waiting for a couple of moths because I know there is going to be some awesome livestock at great prices. I even went in the store to get me a sneak peek and start on my list. We get there early stand in the cold, rain and shine. Yea I would like to have gotten some things early at the discount price but you have to wait like everyone else. It you don't like his service don't come back. And if you live in Florida....hell you right by the ocean, you mean to tell me y'all don't have fish stores there. I call BS. Anyway can't wait till Saturday. See y'all in line.

Emily Orek 1 year ago

Positive experience: That Aquarium Place is a massive store with an impressive selection of saltwater fish, making it a go-to spot for variety. However, like many local fish stores in the area, they do not quarantine their fish, and their business model seems to prioritize moving livestock quickly, often leaving the responsibility for unhealthy fish on the customer. Despite concerns about the quality, the selection here is extraordinary. They carry unique and rare saltwater species that I haven’t seen available for years, which can be a real draw for hobbyists. However, the value can vary greatly between fish, so it’s worth being selective. One notable concern is the overcrowding in some of their sale tanks. I’ve often seen Anthias and Wrasse packed tightly together, with dead fish occasionally visible at the bottom. This raises questions about their care practices. The staff is generally friendly, but the store does seem understaffed given its size. It can be difficult to find assistance when you need it, which can be frustrating. Overall, That Aquarium Place offers a wide selection of saltwater fish, but be prepared for potential health risks and the challenge of navigating a large store with limited staff.

That Aquarium Place
That Aquarium Place

I understand your concerns and we hear them We have nitro and copper running in all our systems we do bring in a lot of fish Hence the green water from nitro and on bottom corner we have our copper levels written This is a hobby so customers need to also be responsible to have quarantine setup at there house bc to do a true qt you have to qt the fish for 90 days and yes we are a small buisness we thrive to do the best Regarding understaffed either I pay my guys a livable wage or hire a lot of part timers who don’t care what there doing I wlll always have a staff who can have a livable wage vs more staff who don’t make anything and don’t care about what there doing Try to your self in a small buisness owners shoes What challenges we have not just criticize With out question if you would like to have a conversation I am always open to it ask for Jamal Thank you and hope to see you again so we can have a conversation

Aisha Hodge-Jackson 1 year ago

Negative experience: Follow-up to the reply: My 2/5 star review is about the service, and not the low stock of sad looking freshwater crustaceans. I can handle supply chain variability; the service here simply isn't up to par. The fact that my original comments about the service were completely ignored in the merchant reply speaks volumes. Original review: I really wanted to like this place, but it's just not living up to the average review rating for me. On my first visit - the lot and store were mostly empty - I was greeted, but it was more of a "hello" than an offering of help. I had to find someone to help me, the first guy handed me off to someone else without my knowledge. The guy who helped me was nice, but it just felt too much like I had to beg for help than I expected. I purchased substrate, rocks , chlorine treatment, beneficial bacteria, and 5 freshwater plants. I just went back looking for freshwater shrimp, and setup items for a second tank... Waited around looking at employees for help, finally had to ask someone if they worked there and if they could help me with freshwater shrimp. The employee I approached took me to a really sad looking tank of mostly nothing, said "here's our freshwater shrimp" and when I turned around he was gone. I really wanted to like this place, as I'm looking for a place to learn and purchase all of my aquarium needs, but this isn't it. It's clear that this place doesn't want my business. I won't be back.

Fantastic experience: Great aquatic store. I was glad to have found this place. I will be back there even though they don't do military discount. Prices are RIGHT, NOT sure why someone would make a negative review saying their prices in frags are expensive. They are cheaper than online.

Jared Weis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This place is great! Have been to several other shops around the Metro and the aquarium place is definitely my favorite. As someone who is new to the saltwater hobby I was a bit overwhelmed the first time. These guys were extremely patient, informative, encouraging, and friendly. I would say their prices are average. You can probably find other shops that are a little less expensive on some items, but the volume and variety of stock that they have is phenomenal (salt and fresh). Over the last 6 months I found myself saving time and headaches by just coming here first!

David Temple 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The nicest aquarium pet store I have ever seen. The fish are just different. They are alive. They are like little puppies or cats in a loving home. I can’t tell you enough how cool this shop is. Everything and everyone is happy. Come see for yourself. No pics posted on purpose. For real. Come check them out :)

Everyone was super friendly. My man with the tattoos helped us out, and he did a great job. Nice, handled the fish well. Overall fantastic spot. Great selection of saltwater and freshwater fish. Will be back for sure.

Fantastic experience: Edit: They replaced the guppies I lost, much appreciated guys! Great selection of fish and good prices - the first two groups of fish from here were great. The last group I bought (about a week after the others) unfortunately most of the fish passed away in the first 24-48 hours in quarantine. Sadly I work 7am-6pm most days so was unable to return them in the 24 hour return window, but that was my own fault for coming on a Sunday when I worked the days after that. Otherwise very happy with my purchases. Employees are very nice and helpful.

Desiree Amstutz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After failing miserably at the chain pet stores.. I did my research and tried this local store first. I won’t even bother trying the other local fish stores near me. Every employee (& the owner himself), have been tremendously helpful and patient with my 100 questions. I’ve walked in this store about 3 times in the past week or two, and am greeted every time, offered help, and provided guidance with any questions or concerns I may have. I’ve bought supplies I needed, plants, some fish, and some shrimp and they’re all thriving. I have yet to see an unhealthy or dead fish when I walk in here. The employees are always cleaning and it’s clear everyone takes pride in their work. I love this place so much, I’m choosing to spend my birthday shopping here for my last batch of fish. I’m super excited to make this store my home away from home.

D Naq 1 year ago

Positive experience: Unbiased, definitely one of the largest, most unique selection of fish within a 50 mile radius. They have salt and freshwater fishes, along with a massive assortment of live plants and corals. Hands down best variety nearby. The owner is kind and friendly. He's usually willing to work something out if something goes wrong with one one your purchases, he is very reasonable. The employees are all very knowledgeable about their livestock and tank keeping. Really, you won't find any store nearby that compares when it comes to variety and an all-around fish store. And the best saltwater selection nearby too, which is strangely hard to find it seems. On the other hand, unbiased, some of the fish are in poor condition and health. The water in the front left tanks of the store is a strange brownish hue and that area smells quite fishy. You can frequently see dead or dying fish in those tanks, which really isn't that unusual considering how many fish they have at any given time. Just unsightly. The customer service is also very mixed. Any of them will come up to you and ask you if you need help with anything, multiple employees will. They just aren't very approachable. I want to love this place, I really do; but, when I need to question if I want something in my tank based on the debatable quality of the livestock, I'd rather not risk it. It is without a doubt worth checking out with caution.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely stunningly clean tanks (the cleanest aquarium store tanks I've seen) and great selection of fish. However, be warned that they have some odd hours, every time I've tried to go back to the store, they were closed (even though I was within the business hours).

Positive experience: We bought 5 cichlids, 3 assorted females, 2 had sunken bellies, which we quickly remedied, 1 did not remedy and she has since died, today, one of the other females didn't make it. 1 livingstoni, he had a slightly sunken belly and was remedied. But is still lethargic and not acting right 1 sulfurhead?, it is not doing well, and we are to assume it is not going to make it. Edit: This issue has been corrected by the very nice people who work here, aswell as the owner. So I am amending my post, I was just upset at the time of posting.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get your fish, plants, and supplies. Huge selection and tanks are very clean and all the fish look happy and healthy. You’ll never go to a chain place after going here. Helpful people working there. Friendly and helpful with suggestions and answers to my 20 questions. Only have neon tetras, clown loaches, and the green phantom pleco in the pics. The dragon stone in the pic also came from here as well as about half of the plants. Going back in two weeks for a center piece fish.

Fantastic experience: That Aquarium Place has by far the LARGEST selection of saltwater/freshwater fish and supplies in TX! The owner and staff treat their customers like family and no one can beat their prices. While you’re there, grab some food from This Food Truck on-site!

Fantastic experience: I called before I left my house looking for a particular fish and they held it for me. I live over an hour away from the store. Once I arrived, they had the fish I a tank marked hold so I could observe it. The coral and fish tanks were clean and everything looked great. Thanks again to everyone who helped me.

Fantastic experience: Pretty cool place with various different types of fish. Had some pretty cool tanks of various sizes. The fish were kept in different lights to cater their needs, showing the attention to detail. There was an eel also that looked pretty cool. A great purchase for the house if you want to reduce stress or anxiety. Also a great way to support sustainability of the oceans!

Fantastic experience: I bought a Neptunian Cube L120 lagoon tank from them and had it delivered. Everything went well from the buying experience and through to the delivery and setup. They had a nice selection of corals as well. Update: They recently did a major upgrade of the saltwater tanks. Even more selection of great fish and inverts.

Positive experience: This place had a large selection of salt water fish, shrimp and coral They also have freshwater fish and shrimp. I was amazed at the prices. Guppies were 10/$15, fresh water shrimp were the lowest prices I’ve ever seen in a store. It’s definitely worth taking a look.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. They have a wide selection of tropical and salt water fish to choose from. I was very impressed with their large selection of peacock cichlids which that was what I was looking for.
