Whitlyn Aquatics, LLC

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place, they helped me with everything I needed and taught me a lot about my tank, and they had a great selection of fish. Great place, Great people, Highley recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing selection and helpful customer service!

Experiencia fantástica: Always an absolute amazing experience and a great hands on staff!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about this store. I recently ordered some corals, and not only did they arrive within 24 hours, but the packaging was also top-notch — you could tell real care went into it. The corals looked healthy, vibrant, and exactly as described. What really stood out to me was the customer service: I actually got a personal call just to confirm everything arrived safely — that level of attention is rare these days. It’s clear they’re passionate about what they do and truly care about their livestock and their customers. If you’re looking for quality corals and a team you can trust, this is the place. I’ll definitely be ordering again and recommending them to fellow reefers!

Experiencia fantástica: 1st time customer and it was a great experience. I found Whitlyn because I was looking online for a weeping willow toadstool. Of corse, you can’t just buy 1 frag so I threw in some other softies to the cart and got free shipping. They called shortly after I made the order to confirm exactly what day I wanted delivery which I really liked. They then emailed after delivery to make sure I was satisfied. The corals were packaged better than anyone else I’ve ever bought from. Each frag was in its own small cup and double bagged and sealed to keep the water in. They really go above and beyond in packaging to make sure your corals don’t bounce around and get damaged. I’ll definitely be buying from them again as I build out this softie tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Placed an order on their website for stratosphere zoas. Had a fantastic price so I had to see what the quality was. I was contacted the day before shipping as there was some concerns around the weather. They asked if I would be okay with a shipment later in the week. I agreed. Upon arrival I noticed that I had an additional polyp. I had ordered a frag of two but received three. All full size, no babies. After a dip I placed them in the tank and they immediately opened. I could not be happier overall with the experience. Excellent seller and I'll be ordering again.

Experiencia fantástica: Ordered a bunch of zoas and all came in healthy and opened right up. A week later and they are all still looking great. They even tossed in a free frag with it. Would order from them again

Experiencia fantástica: Shopped here for the first time last week. Employees were very helpful and seemed knowledgable. Fresh and Saltwater fish available along with tanks and all the necessities to care for your fish. Very pleased, will definitely be going back!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service and corals. Evan was very helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Whitlyn aquatics went absolutely above and beyond! They called to help schedule my delivery the day after my order and then called within 2 hours of me receiving my order to make sure everything was okay. All 7 corals I order showed up super well packaged and super healthy. 2 of the Zoa frags and torches were even fully open in the bag. They even threw in a free surprise frag. The plugs were also extremely clean and I didn’t find any pest. I can’t wait to order more from these guys!

Experiencia fantástica: Recently bought a few zoa frags online from whitlyn aquatics, everything arrived well packed with large healthy polyps! Will definitely order from them again

Experiencia negativa: Do NOT buy from their online auction! I spent well over $100 on two frags that looked great in their, WSWYG auction, however when they arrived both were brown and dead! They do not ship their corals with any kind of heat pack, causing them to freeze to death when shipped. Order number was #30228. I was unable to get into contact with them until outside of the 2 hour DOA window, however, someone at my home did acclimate them to the tank, on the off chance that they weren't dead. Being fairly upset, as I had spent over $200 for nothin, I left a negative review, initially on the wrong Google account. The store owner then called me, told me that because I had left a bad review, he would "Not try to make this right". This is a legitimate review, from the email that I used to purchase.

Experiencia fantástica: Happy healthy coral fun auctions!

Experiencia fantástica: Everything was perfect had my corals in tank with in a half hour and they are looking beautiful

Experiencia fantástica: I would give 6 stars if I could, everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable, Matt did great installing our 150 gal tank and was willing to work with us and our schedule, wide variety of different fish fresh and saltwater fish, plants and all other aquatic life and always a pleasure to visit, it is definitely a hidden gem worth checking out for yourself!

Experiencia fantástica: Whitlyn Aquatics is great for the community. The people at the shop are friendly. It is my go to for all my aquarium needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Received my order today and couldn’t be happier! Super healthy fish and coral! Great communication as well. Highly recommend Whitlyn aquatics!

Experiencia fantástica: Best fish store around. Huge selection, very knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome packaging zoanthids had a cone so they wouldnt be damaged. Insulted foam and heat packs. communication was great, Had a delay due to weather, They called and explained, and we setup a new time the following week. Definitely would recommend. Corals opened up within hours.

Experiencia fantástica: First time I’ve ordered live fish and plants thru the mail. Small hiccup with some plants that ended up being out of stock, but Jase in Customer Support was very helpful and resolved the issue right away. The fish are larger than I expected & very healthy looking. Arrived next day. Will be ordering more

Experiencia fantástica: It’s like an aquarium wonderland - I seriously wish I would have started coming here sooner than I did! They’ve got a great selection of plants, fish, corals, supplies, you name it. The staff is also incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! I’m looking forward to all the fishy nonsense I’ll be getting up to with them in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love the store. No problem finding anything i wanted. Very friendly staff. And a very good slection from fresh or saltwater!

Experiencia fantástica: We had such a great experience. Michaela did an excellent job of spending time with my family to educate us about our son's new fishtank. She did a great job of giving us realistic, budget friendly, and "cool" fish options for cycling a tank! We highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible service. UPS messed up shipping and my corals were delivered over 24hrs late. They were DOA. Whitlyn offered to send larger frags to help offset the cost of shipping, and wow did they deliver. Amazing, healthy frags, wonderful packaging, the heat pack was still warm. Both my zoas and my Goni opened within two hours.

Experiencia fantástica: I ordered a Malaysian Miami torch, purple death paly, and 2 zoas (utter chaos and strat). They called to confirm shipment and were very responsive on email. Corals all arrived in the morning on the shipment day from UPS. Packaging was excellent (double bags, no leaks). The zoas and paly were on plugs in cups that made it impossible to get crushed. I haven’t see any pests. The zoas and torch all had polyps extended on the first day and look amazing, like their pics! The paly is taking longer to open but still looks fine. I also received a free zoa (Rasta) which was super nice and completely unexpected. I’d definitely order from Whitlyn again.

Experiencia fantástica: Fast delivery. Very happy and healthy chili rasboras. Frog bit,red root floaters and chrismas moss look incredible.

Experiencia fantástica: I recommend Whitlyn Aquatics. Great communication, pictures not enhanced-same color coral as pictures, quick shipping, professionally packed, 2nd time purchase- Very happy overall!

Experiencia fantástica: First place that emailed me after coral was delivered. Very committed to customer satisfaction/service. Good price for what i got as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent packaging and excellent coral. Healthy, not small and beautiful. Thank you so much.

Experiencia fantástica: You will definitely have future business from me very smooth and easy to do business with you.

Experiencia fantástica: First time buying from these guys and they did not disappoint. Coral is a show piece and I’m very happy with them. I would definitely buy from them again

Experiencia fantástica: Purchased a yellow tang and arrived super healthy and it’s eating.

Experiencia fantástica: I ordered a yellow tang from Whitlyn aquatics. Communication was excellent, price was just right, and fish showed up healthy and happy. What a beautiful addition to my reef tank. I highly recommend Whitylns aquatics

Experiencia fantástica: Great prices and a fun online auction. A great selection of in stock corals at really good prices!! Shipping everything was double bagged and happy. The pictures online were very accurate to what I revieced in real life. Great customer service. Will be buying again from Whitlyn.

Experiencia fantástica: Recently participated in their online auction and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. I scored 6 corals for a great price. They were packaged perfectly and in beautiful condition upon arrival. I live in Ohio and found the shipping process to be very fast and efficient. What really stood out to me was the customer service and communication from the time of purchase to delivery confirmation. Will definitely be a repeat customer and looking forward to visiting their store in person next time I’m in Indiana. 10/10!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome and the people are more awesome. Bought the exact tank setup petsmart had for $300 cheaper. Staff loaded it all in our truck and we're super helpful. Will be back!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently switched to Whitlyn Aquatics for my tank maintenance and care after having a terrible experience with the folks operating out of Aquarium Concepts. I couldn't be happier as the tank measurables are now back to safe ranges and I am able to start adding fish back to the tank. Thank you, Whitlyn! ... I wish I had switched sooner before losing over half of my fish. Great service, and unlike several other local stores, actually friendly and courteous when you visit to restock.

Experiencia fantástica: Great communication and fish are gorgeous very lively and awesome color… ships fast

Experiencia fantástica: I like stopping in at local stores while traveling for work. Super cool and super nice store. Wish it was closer to home.

Experiencia fantástica: Did the auction and got an amazing price on some beautiful RFA I’ve had trouble with wyswyg auction before with another site and was highly disappointed and skeptical about wyswyg auction. Low an behold there team came through the communication between customer and staff is top notch very considerate of your situation for shipping and are considerate for the animals they sell and try eliminate all chances of DOA 10/10 will be bidding again

Experiencia fantástica: I got a stratosphere zoa from them, I only purchased one polyp but it came in and they sent me a BIG single polyp. The packaging was amazing, as was the customer service.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an awesome experience with Whitlyn! We ordered some mushroom corals online with them and the corals came to us on time and very healthy and great looking specimens! Highly recommend doing business with Whitlyn!

Experiencia fantástica: Had the most pleasant experience here with our family while we added to our fish family!! Thank you Tanner & Mitchy for your amazing customer service!

Experiencia fantástica: I ordered quite a few corals recently, their customer service is amazing and the corals all arrived healthy. I will definitely order from Whitlyn again!

Experiencia negativa: Expensive scoly coral did not arrive in good condition. Reached out multiple times to keep the shop updated on the condition. When it never recovered from shipping stress I was told since it was not dead on arrival they would not offer any form of compensation. I have multiples of the same corals thriving in my tank and since it arrived with skeleton showing and in poor condition it was obviously an unhealthy coral when I received it. Very disappointed. Would never do business again with this company.

Experiencia fantástica: I honestly don't know how these guys have gotten bad reviews. My purchase started by winning an auction on coral, I needed to bring my order total up since it was an online order to meet the shipping requirement. These guys communicated with me every step of the way and extremely fast. There was concern about a storm that could delay, rather then sending the coral and taking a chance they coordinated with me to get a better ship date and make sure the coral arrived healthy. Unpacking the box everything was sealed extremely well and had a heat pack to keep everything at a good temperature. After floating the bags and comparing the water to mine I added the frags to the tank and all of them opened very quickly, look very healthy. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy with my order! Colors from the pictures were accurate and the corals were larger than I even expected. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing people, decent prices! They always hook us up when we come in. I recommend them to everyone looking for anything aquatic.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a cool place with a copious amounts of coral

Experiencia fantástica: Huge selection of amazing tropical and marine fish, coral, and inverts. I had concerns having fish shipped across the country in the dead of winter but they were expertly packed in an insulated box with heat packs. I cannot get fish like this locally. I’m so glad I took the chance and ordered from Whitlyn Aquatics. I received top quality specimens that are absolutely beautiful. A+ Update 3/7/24: Another incredible order received yesterday. I cannot say enough good things about Whitlyn Aquatics. They are the best in the business!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first online purchase, and I am extremely happy. The store was in constant communication with the what, where and when with shipping. They were patient with me, as I was clueless on how the auction worked. (Which was my fault, I didn't fully read the instructions.) I have to say, the packaging was immaculate. I don't want to give their secret away, but just trust that the coral you purchase will arrive safely. Within 1 hour of arrival my zoa, acan and ricordea were fully open. Gorgeous coral as well. I will be purchasing again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Just received my first shipment of coral from Whitlyn Aquatics. Fantastic quality product and they were very responsive to my questions. Good customer service is not easy to find, but great customer service is even more rare! I can confidently say that I experienced great customer service here!

Experiencia fantástica: Very well packed during shipment compared to any corals I’ve ever received. The coral wasn’t just thrown at the bottom of a bag like most companies do. They were each carefully protected in different ways to prevent it from hitting against the bag. Everything was out and happy about two hours after acclimation which is pretty fast for new corals. The company is also extremely responsive when you have questions! Most likely will participate in auctions or buy coral from them again! Plus they threw in a freebie!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome interaction at every point!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I normally dont leave reviews but i needed to leave one because of the experience i had. My tank has been up & running for over a year. I've delt with many coral and fish vendors online & in person. I was treated like a first class customer at Whitlyn Aquatics. I had the great opportunity to deal with Jase who gave me one of the best buying experiences I ever had. Jase went above and beyond for me. LFS's in Arizona need to take notes from Whitlyn Aquatics. They have earned a customer for life! Thank you so much!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledge, friendly and very patient for a first time marine tank owner!! Will go back!!

Experiencia positiva: Went to see some salt water fish but couldn't get any help. There were 2 employees there and 6 other customers... I waited about 15 mins and no help so I left. This was sat at 3 ..I was also surprised that there was few fish in the salt water area that was marked sold so a busted trip

Experiencia fantástica: Just received my order from sundays auction. When they say overnigjt shipping they mean it and the packaging was awesome. Everything i bought was very healthy and im super happy. Will definately be purchasing more from them soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love the weeping willow frga I received from Whitlyn Aquatics and will definitely be coming back for more. The frag arrived healthy and opened very quickly inside the tank. The packing was superb. Highly recommend this shop!

Experiencia fantástica: Recently ordered online, they had great communication when an item ended up not being in stock. Everything was packed really well, and the items received had great colors and looked like their photos (when ordering online I don’t always find this to be the case).

Experiencia fantástica: Some of the most beautiful corals I have bought online. Shipping was great and packaged very well. Will return for more auctions in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: Quality products shipped beautifully packed. They are happy to help with with there abundance of knowledge. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: They definitely won my husband over on best customer service! This is the only place that we will buy online coral! The frag pieces were opening up right when they hit the water! If u are wanting to buy carol online I would definitely recommend these guys!

Experiencia fantástica: I've ordered from here twice now. Everything I've gotten has been top notch. All the coral have been immediately happy right out the package. I also have to mention their customer service is the best. Any question you have they answer right away. They even check-in once you've recieved everything. Great folks.

Experiencia fantástica: great service and good fish

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing one of the very few online auctions. I Got some Corals from the auction, package arrived the next day well packaged, and all Corals arrived healthy. They also gave me a lot of freebies. Definitely recommend. They got very nice Corals go through auction I wanna say weekly for very low prices

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to order from

Experiencia fantástica: Just got my first order which was shipped to me. By far the best packed corals I’ve had delivered. Everything came fast and healthy. What I really appreciated was the personal follow up email, once it got delivered. making sure everything was delivered and was good. Will definitely be ordering from again.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place beautiful coral have bought from these guys many times

Experiencia negativa: We ordered a uv light it only worked about a month. Paid 80 for them to come out and tell us this. Then we had to pay shipping on the new uv. I think that's poor customer service and we shouldn't have been charged. It would be different if this was an old light

Experiencia fantástica: I participated in one of the Coral Auctions and won. The very next morning Jeff reached out to schedule the delivery. After all the details were worked out, they shipped that day. The following day, there was a hold up in shipping due to an event on UPS’s behalf. Jeff notified me of the issue and we were in constant communication until it was delivered the next day. Even after it delivered, Jeff reached out again to see how everything was going. I was really surprised to see how punctual and quick a business was to reach out and communicate, even going above and beyond my expectations. You can’t find that anymore. This was my first purchase with Whitlyn and my first anemone as well. I couldn’t be happier with the nem and the business and character Whitlyn brings to its customers is simply outstanding. They deserve all 5 stars and more. Thank you Jeff!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for freshwater and saltwater aquarium supplies with good prices and great service

Experiencia fantástica: Great communication! Great service! Great packing! Just one issue when I opened the box……… I ordered a stratosphere zoa frag thinking maybe 2-3 polyps. When I opened the box there was 4p and a baby I was furious plus there was a freebie! Amazing impression for my first Order plan to be back for more!

Experiencia fantástica: Received my shipment today and couldn’t be happier. Not only were the frags happy and healthy they were much larger than anticipated. Will be ordering from them again.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome delivery everything arrived alive and is thriving A+++

Experiencia fantástica: Great communication. Awesome packaging., Support your hardworking, honest independent vendors.. My aquarium is close to finished as far as my fish, and aquatic plants, for it’s size, but I would not hesitate to purchase from this company again or recommend them to my friends.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience! Their website is awesome (and looks great) with great prices for exactly what I was looking for. They reached out beforehand to give me a choice about what I ordered and were nice and professional. Everything came healthy but with one casualty (which happens with shipping fish unfortunately) that they made right immediately. Thank you! ^____^

Experiencia fantástica: Great place!! Super clean/healthy fish!!! Got three F8 puffers. Really healthy puffers! Good prices too!!

Experiencia negativa: Couldn't get help. Not sure who worked there. Waited over twenty minutes. What a waste of time. Pricy but has a variety, would be nice if you could buy anything.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love the Whitlyn Aquatics staff, products, and definitely the CORALS! You won’t find better maintained livestock around I can guarantee that. Wish I could give more than 5 stars in all honesty. You won’t be disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: This has got to be one of the best fish stores I've *ever* had the pleasure of shopping at!! I moved from Indianapolis to a little town north of Evansville at the start of 2022, having grown up my whole life on the southside of Indy, I had to start over and find new places to shop at for my critters. I'm so glad that I stopped here on a whim in the beginning of January of this year to get back into aquatics - they quite literally blew my expectations out of the water, lmao. Out of all the fish stores and pet shops I've been to up north and here inbetween, this place takes the cake hands down! The guys that work here are absolutely phenomenal, they're well versed in what they do and are so friendly. It's a genuine place with genuine people. You'll never regret coming here, even if it's just to visit! The store is set up in a visually appealing manner, it's neat to say the least. It's cool seeing the vast selection of stuff from saltwater to freshwater, they've got great livestock selections available, even plants too! One of the best things, though? They have a rewards program now! You can earn rewards everytime you shop! So if you're in doubt, local to the area or just visiting, and are looking for a place to stop at for any of your fishy needs.... look no further, **THIS** is the place to go!

Experiencia fantástica: By far the best aquarium store I’ve been to. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Received a shipment of Amano shrimp and three Otos that all came overnight in great condition. There was great communication throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Only purchased online and man are they good at it. Top notch customer service. Jeffs great to work with. Weekend auctions always run smooth with high end pieces. No complaints at all for me. Keep it up guys!

Experiencia fantástica: This shop has a good selection of corals at reasonable prices. Everything was healthy and happy with my purchase. Saw their coral farm and had a ton of great looking coral. It was worth the 2 hour drive.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing customer service. Orange Passion frag super healthy & 0 pest. Definitely adding to favorites. A++

Experiencia fantástica: I love this store. I like the people working there and I like the people that shop there. They are very informative and just pleasant to talk to. I got 2 male mollies and 3 shrimp.

Experiencia fantástica: Cool store

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give them 10 stars I would. Their customer service was amazing. I ordered 5 Amazon puffers to be delivered in Texas and received my fish the next day! Before sending them out I received a phone call to verify that someone will be home to accept them and every question I had was answered either on the phone or through email! I will definitely use this company again!

Experiencia fantástica: I never have a bad experience here. I was immediately greeted by Jeanie (hope I’m spelling that right) asking me what I needed help with. Jeanie was so sweet to my kiddos, they love seeing the turtles and she pulled one out for them to see. I usually stop by every few weeks and the customer service is always great and the fish are healthy.

Experiencia fantástica: Corals were shipped just as promised, packaged great, and arrived a little early which is great! Quality and size of corals was even better than I expected! Happy customer = recommended company!

Experiencia fantástica: First time dealing with the company. My coral arrived well packaged and in good health. They even added a little gift to add to my tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Online order- Good communication and packed perfectly. Fish ordered received in good quality. I’ll be a repeat customer.

Experiencia negativa: They employees don’t know anything about fish. Not sure they even know how to feed them

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best shop around. Every employee I've encountered is kind and knowledgeable. Beautiful fish of all types. Great selection of helpful accessories, plants, and quality food options. Our whole family loves a Whitlyn trip.

Experiencia fantástica: We drove from about 4 hours away to check the shop out, absolutely worth the drive. Jeff and his team were great to work with and talk to. I will 100% be back, and will for sure recommend coming on out.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome store! Very nice owner! Drove from Vincennes and will again!

Experiencia fantástica: First time buying from Whitlyn Aquatics and I am so happy with my order!!! They were exactly what I ordered and as pictured.. Corals came in on time and packaged well… I will be buying from this company again!! Thank you so much!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing store for salt water aquariums. The tanks are super clean, alot of beautiful fish. The corals are very good looking with alot of variety and good prices. The staff are super friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Recommend visiting this awesome fish store!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic price on live sand and salt.
