We have been to all fish stores in the area and as far as Tucson, and Aquaholics is by far the best! The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. They all take the time to answer my questions, and also ask their own to assess if the fish/coral/plant, etc. is appropriate or safe for my aquariums. Ive used them for both my freshwater and saltwater tanks and have never had a bad experience. I also appreciate the fact that they truly care about their fish! No overcrowded tanks, or pairings that may harm each other. I would recommend this place to everyone - beginners to seasoned aquarium owners! read more

I been shopping here for awhile and usually great service. Today though was totally different...last week I put in a request for various fish. I have my contact info, and what I was looking for. Today I come in and the sales lady could not find my name, or anything I ordered. I even told her I got a call from the store and showed it on.my phone. She kept mentioning she needed to talk to someone in the back but nothing came of it and no one else would talk to me about it. I understand things can happen but I would have thought someone would have delt with me better being a loyal customer. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I purchased a frag rack they have 3D Printed - internal magnets started rusting through plastic inside my tank (less than 1.5 months of purchase). Driving into the store from Surprise where I live, no concern or sincere of any urgency. Instead, I was treated with very poor customer service. I was expected to wait for days to hear back from someone. After 2 days of calling the store and being frustrated. I was told I had to wait until the next week in order for the guy who makes them, to come back from out of town and remake a new one. The store had a whole basket of the same item "Except those were double magnets" and I only purchased the single magnet". To make things right and avoid customer frustration. No one offered to upgrade or anything else, I had to ask options to just upgrade and be done with it. What a JOKE, I was offered a discount to upgrade. Basically, around the same price if I'd just purchased the double magnet mount. Pay Double The $$ for a product that only lasted 1.5 months. I DON'T THIONK SO. I only purchased it because I was told the store made these. I was trying to support a small company. Not After This. I'm done dealing with this place. Completely different attitude when addressing a defective product they sell. Unless your dropping $$$ the day of the visit, expect to get bare minimum for customer service when there is an issue. They won't be getting any $$ from me after this encounter. read more

I can't begin to state how great this place is. After two bad experiences with our local PetSmart we decided to look elsewhere and thankfully we found this place. The customer service is amazing, if you are beginners they are willing to walk you through everything and give you great knowledge. Will be back every single time we need something for our aquarium. Will definitely be going here once we start our Saltwater tank. The are expanding soon and we cannot wait to see how it looks. They always have this amazing Puffer fish, it's a must see (See attached) read more

We had an unfortunate 1 off situation happen with our beloved porcupine puffer this morning. I won't go into great detail about it but it was devastating for our family and I made a yelp review while emotions were high. While I don't blame Aquaholics for this, I blame the young man who sold it to us for not educating us about the possibilities because there is no way we would have taken a chance with our boy's life. But like I said, it was a 1 off incident and James, the owner of Aquaholics reached out personally to offer his condolences and help. He treated me like a grieving friend and I appreciate that from him. He has a wonderful shop and is a kind man. read more

Great customer service hands down , Fair prices on Fish , High Prices on Coral , I recommend to Look around and compare Prices before you over pay for coral , what I paid for a Bubble tip here I got 6 times bigger size elsewhere for the same price ! very disappointing when you start to get to know Reefing. read more

Nice knowledgeable staff! Well kept fish and plants, I'll be going back. I bought 5 black tetras and a java fern they are still thriving!

Visited a new local fish store to me, Alcoholic Aquariums and was just blown away! Everything exceeded my expectations from the great selections, awesome store setup and the overall cleanliness. The coral frags are huge and VERY well priced. Fish and inverts looked extremely healthy as well. Enjoyed my time speaking with James, Amanda and BJ. These guys are absolutely killing it! Highly recommend Aquaholic Aquariums. 5 out of 5 stars! If you are a member of Arizona Reef and Frag Group be sure to keep an eye out for all the great posts and offerings from them. read more

See all

I have to say this was the nicest and best experience I've had at an aquarium store. They are nice variety, the fish are nicely sized and look very healthy, and the staff is very very friendly and knowledgeable. The only down side is this is not a close local fish store as I live in the west valley but I will be making the drive here often to continue stocking my tanks. read more

Very kind and very knowledgeable staff!! We are new to the fish world and they didn't talk down to us, they really wanted to help us out!

So glad we finally made it over here. Totally worth the drive for us. We live over in north west Peoria but this is my favorite store we have been to. The place is so clean, they have an awesome selection of corals and fish and everyone working was very friendly and helpful. Knowledgable staff and just a great place. We will be back for sure! read more

The staff have been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. I just started my first saltwater tank, and I can't thank the team enough for always going above and beyond to answer my questions and help me navigate my new hobby! Special thanks to James, BJ, Aiden, Amanda, and Oscar who have been nothing but magnificent in guiding me along the way. Highly recommend checking out the store. They have great stock and are willing to work with you to help you get what you need. Also, I got a custom tank and custom stand from this company. We are loving how beautiful it looks in our home! 10/10 would definitely recommend! read more
