    Fins Freshwater Aquariums - For sale

    Fins Freshwater Aquariums

    (6 reviews)

    What a great aquarium shop!!! This place is just awesome…read more I am a saltwater reef aquarium enthusiast, but this store made me want a freshwater, planted tank, again in a bad way. I have been contemplating setting up a tank in my office at work. I wanted a clownfish and anemone tank, but planted freshwater is much easier to manage when traveling for work and not being around to take care of it. Small saltwater tanks (under 150 gallons) are not ideal really. The evaporation wreaks havoc on the salinity and trace elements. One gallon of evaporation on a small salty tank will alter salinity big time. Salinity is measured in "Specific Gravity". Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance's density to the density of a reference substance, usually water, and is a unitless quantity used to compare the density of substances. A specific gravity of 1 means the substance has the same density as water, while values greater than 1 indicate it's denser and will sink in water, and values less than 1 mean it's less dense and will float. So what that means really is, as the water evaporates, the salt stays behind and raises the "density" of the water thus putting more pressure on the inhabitants within. Sorry.... Went on a tear there.... now you know though.... You are welcome. The owner of the place is super cool, very helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. Win. Win. Win. He only does fresh water and is an authorized Fluval dealer with all of their lines of aquatic goods, as well as small nano type tanks all the way up to the all in one 80 gallon tank. Nice stuff! Built in Fluval filtration makes it easy to maintain. If you are curious about freshwater aquariums, I believe this is the best place to go. I do dare say that this is by far and away the best fish store in the Shelby County area. It's clean, well kept, organized, and the tanks and fish look fantastic. '25 - 97/111

    Saw an article in the DM and had to check it out asap. Called the number I found and after a brief…read morepause, Warren, the guy who runs the joint answered. They're open 12pm-6pm Mon-Sat. After getting side tracked, I pulled in hot at less than 10 'til 6. The store front was unassuming. It was a bit challenging to find, and despite showing up last minute, the guys in the store were cool with me poking around. Inside I found a really, really well done shop. It's simple, but top notch. Clean, organized, well maintained. This has all the indicia of a well-run, well-managed, professional enterprise (unlike some other fly-by-night aquatic warehouse stores that may or may not be in business in Memphis in some seedy part of town at the moment). The tanks inside almost seem to be too well-maintained: it's like they first take care of the fish and then if somebody wants to buy them, that's cool too. This is in contrast to big box and other (limited) LFSs in the area that just want to turn over product, ich and all. That said above, it is a bit on the small side (though, honestly, probably the same size gallon for gallon as the freshwater portion of Memfish). But, the selection is remarkably good for the space they have. Some niche stuff: the best discus I've seen in town, ever; double red Agassizi apisto pairs, figure 8 puffers, black GBRs, huge Kribs in a display, and what an actual nano setup should look like. More interestingly, they have displays that give you in depth info on the fish in the tank. Why's no one think of that before? All the fish looked healthy, well acclimated, and well cared for (i.e., no dead's floating about). Aside from the fish, their hard goods look to be too-notch. I'm a fish nerd, and I buy Fluval for infrastructure and Seachem for water treatment and condition religiously. That's what they sell, so I take it as Warren is a learned hobbyist who knows what he's doing. A friendly conversation confirmed my suspicion. The guy knows what he's doing. It's the right mix of a hobbyist running a massive fish room and selling out of it. This is exactly what I've been looking for since Something Fishy and whatever Kermit's Reef became known as (the one off Macon and Dexter, 10 years ago, at least) went away. I'll update as things progress, but I'm looking forward to buying frequently from FFA. I waffled on 5-stars. But to my knowledge, there isn't another reputable, consistent LFS in Memphis. So 5 stars it is.

    Great addition to the aquarium game here in Memphis. We were starving for decent "pet" fish stores…read morefor many years. Now there must be at least five shops worth paying a visit. They all vary somewhat in their expertise, style, and set up. This makes it worthwhile to spread your business around and keep everyone around if you love the hobby as I do. These guys have an excellent selection of both fresh and saltwater fish. The prices are actually some of the best around, and I dare say they have the best quantity and diversity of fish anywhere within several hundred miles. My jaw has hit the floor a couple times with what they had in stock. They have tanks for sale. It looks like he builds stands and canopies himself. Not sure how he is with marine setups with sumps, skimmers, and high end monitoring systems. I did see plastic dish scrub pads in the sumps at the store, so there is that. Not the greatest media for bacteria growth, but to each their own. They have a small selection of corals for sale but the ones they do have are generally pretty nice. I bought an ultra maxima clam and it is doing great. It was priced extremely well compared to other places. The place does always seem to be in some sort of construction when I am there so that makes it feel a bit chaotic. There is definitely a lot going on here most of the time. My senses and mind get pretty stimulated. I wish they had more "salty type" goods in stock such as salt, additives, pumps, filter media, live rock, more corals, and a better selection of reef type foods. I get it though, you can't be everything to everyone. They are doing a pretty good job at what they are doing here now though! '24 - 46/100

    Great shop for all freshwater and saltwater tank needs. They have numerous types of corals and…read moreother saltwater life available including a wide array of rare or hard to come by fishes. Same goes for their inventory of freshwater fish. They have the basics and then they will get random rare fish in, quite often. So come by often and see the inventory!!! They also sell frozen foods for fish, fish tanks with and without stands, conditioners, tubing, filters and more. We have been buying fish from here for a few years now and just brought home a Congo puffer. All of the employees have been very knowledgeable and helpful and always very polite and personable. We have been beyond happy with all of our purchases from here and are looking forward to adding more cool fish to our tanks.
