I shopped at a competitor in Englewood that really screwed me over. Michael stepped up and offered me 10% off my next purchase. Didn't have to, just felt like a wrong from someone else deserved a correction and he took care of me. Client for life. read more

I was really happy the folks at Fish Den were willing to help me replace my hose to my new fluval fx2 filter. They even took the hose off the display model and sold it to me.... I've bought lots of fish from them also, always healthy and active. They have an incredible selection of fish and supplies, and priced reasonably too. Awesome store! Awesome people! read more

They have a variety of different kinds of fish, their goldfish are mostly high quality. They have many different types of products to take care of ponds and tanks. They have a lot of merchandise but it is pretty expensive, you can ask the professional questions. The only cons are their prices and when I call them, I ask questions and a certain employee has an attitude, but other than that, fish den is awesome! read more

Very nice collection of fish and plants, very friendly staff, even gave me a small discount as a first buyer at their store. Will definitely come back in the future for my next project read more

The plant I bought came with snails. Maybe they consider those 'extra' and that's why the tiny bit of product you're given is crazy overpriced. The employees weren't blowing sunshine, but they weren't rude either. I'll check out other stores in the area or look online before going back. read more

The folks at Fish Den were very helpful. I wasn't sure what type of fish to get for my new 10 gallon freshwater tank. Not only did I get help finding the right fish, but I got feeding and care tips too. I didn't feel dumb for asking questions. The people that work at Fish Den are experts and they seem very happy and eager to help! read more

Super friendly, huge selection of fish. Wonderful experience all around! I highly recommend coming here if you'd like to purchase a fish or even to window shop. read more

The Fish Den is now my shop for fish, snails and supplies, I'm so glad I found them! The customer service is great, the store is well stocked with just about anything an aquarist of either type (salt or fresh water) could need, and all the various fish and snail tanks are super clean. They've been in business since 1970 and it's my very sincere hope they'll be able to continue supplying people in the fish-keeping hobby, whether already knowledgeable or brand new, for many many more years. I think that anyone who posts a negative review might be speaking for the competition or doesn't know how to correctly acclimate a fish or cycle a tank. I've been in other pet/fish shops and here they were just as involved with my not so expensive selections as they would be for someone spending a lot more. The Fish Den is an excellent, reliable and viable source! read more

Love the man in fish suspenders smoking cigs he's a legend. Got a big old goldfish and they took my neon tetras off my hands and gave me store credit. read more

I love this place! Super insightful and helpful staff. They let you return fish which I think is awesome. I love going here as a "trip to the aquarium" but usually leave having bought something hahaha. 10/10! read more

We are setting up a new fresh water tank. Got a few snails and fish. Super helpful people. Great advice. Classic aquatic store.

Every fish/snail (7 fish, 6 snails) I bought here died. The 6 neon tetras were so weak they ALL got sucked into my 20 gal hang-on-back filter and died. They tried to sell me a dead snail but I caught this and they got me another (live) one. No matter, all snails were dead after a few weeks. The single clown pleco did survive through quarantine but, alas, he is nowhere to be found and I assume he's a goner as well. Also they're way overpriced. A single tank decoration cost $40+. Granted my cory's love it, but I'm going elsewhere. PS- I replaced the dead neons with neons from Aquatic Imports (Boulder) and NONE of them were sucked into the filter, all made it through quarantine, and are doing fine today. read more

Fish Den has always taken awesome care of me. I've purchased a betta, numerous freshwater shrimp (cherry reds, blue velvets, and yellow), snails, and an African dwarf frog from them + aquarium plants, decor, fish food, and tank supplies. Everyone comes home happy and healthy. One employee, Travis, has helped us a couple times. He's extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful; ready to help troubleshoot why my live plants are struggling and to pick out compatable tank mates. The fish aquariums are fun to look at- what an amazing variety they have! Prices seem a little high for the decor and tank supplies, I bought a gravel cleaner for half the price online, but generally I like to support a local shop and I appreciate their high quality. read more

Love this place. Wide variety of fish. Fish are all in good condition. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff.

I hadn't bought fish in months for my tank. Bought a couple of neons and some zebras From fish den. Within days one neon had died, then one of my older neons, followed by 4 penguins, and two swordtails. It wasn't ich but whatever the heck it is, I don't want it again. read more

I love this store This is my 70 th year raising tropical fish. What a delight to see beautiful fresh water n saltwater aquariums. The owners and staff are knowledgable and outgoing. Reasonably priced tanks and equipment I wanted to buy more rams but was told tank quarantined Their amazon sword plants are spectacular The black and silver angels rams are spectacular I cannot be more positive about this small store Its a throwback to the local stores of my youth Thanks michael and MJ Rkkjr read more

We bought our first aquarium set up from Fish Den 12 years ago, The staff was helpful then, we have since returned to buy our second set up! Michael is super friendly, helpful and expressed much gratitude for our replete business! I always enjoy conversation with the staff, just delightful! Thank you for wonderful customer service! Ya'll are super sweet! Tom and Jennifer read more

Going to Fish Den is an underwater adventure every time. I recently became an aquarium owner, and I have been learning as I go. After shopping around at lots of stores in the Denver area, I finally found my way here. Looking like a typical strip-mall type shop from the outside, inside you will find yourself in a wondrous maze of beautiful tanks filled with a plethora of creatures, large and small. The staff are attentive and very knowledgeable, and have helped answer so many questions for me, including how to remedy a scary case of ich in my tank that came from fish I got from the internet. Their advice saved all my little finned friends, and they are now happy, healthy, and loving life. Fish Den is a fun place to go even if you're just looking at the animals. I love the giant plecos and the beautiful saltwater fish, and I've gotten many great additions to my freshwater tank here. Thanks, Fish Den! read more

Fish Den - Pet Stores Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Fish den is my favorite fish store. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and caring . I always stop by when I'm in the neighborhood!

First time here and impressed with their great selection. Great customer service as well. They answered every question we had. Picked up a few for my 55 gallon and very happy with my purchase. The selection was also really nice. I didn't browse the rest of the store but will get whatever I need from here! read more

Great friendly staff willing to help you find what you need. Fish Den has a good selection of freshwater fish. They seem to take really good care of their aquatic pets. If you need saltwater fish, they have a small selection of healthy looking fish. Great overall store. read more

michael was super friendly and helped us set up everything - told us to call anytime with questions :)

I wonder if the staff is getting the message from the previous reviews? Or perhaps attitude breeds more attitude? I found them to be helpful and courteous. I was in and out quickly with the live food I needed. The blackworms (yeah, I know...) lived over a week in our fridge and made our African dwarf frogs *very* happy. The shop is kind of grungy, but I can't imagine there is a lot of profit in the fish business to allow for modern decor. But hey, they have fish and stuff, so that works for me. read more

Always been my go-to. Fair prices, knowledgeable staff, great selection of fresh and a fairly decent amount of salt. The guys have had it for like 35 years and there's a reason there's so much repeat business. If you're looking for super chic or spotless, not the place for you. But looking for hobbyists who LOVE fellow hobbyists? Congrats: you're home. read more

I started purchasing fish here in the pandemic because I realized petsmart doesn't take very good care of their fish. This place is awesome they have everything as far as fresh and saltwater fish go. I've gotten much further into the hobby! They are always willing to help with stocking options and are always open to questions. Will be coming again! read more

Fish Den has been around forever, staff is knowledgeable and friendly. However, store appearance is old and dirty. Dry good Prices are higher then most stores & products are out of date. Livestock appears healthy. Selection is mostly freshwater. Limited saltwater selection. read more

While service is generally okay the place is old and cluttered. Have returned a few times. After picking up a fish they recommended and finiding it to be incompatible we came to return it. Hours posted are 11-7. We show up at 5:04 and the owner looks at us and rushes inside. When we confront him he flips me off and runs to his car. Good stuff dude read more

Great resource for fish keepers. I had fish when I was young, and recently decided to have a tank again. Unfortunately things went very wrong! I visited Fish den and they were wonderful. Explained what I had probably done wrong and what to do to fix it. After I followed their advice and the right amount of time had elapsed, I went back with a water sample and they tested it for free. The fish room is awesome. I have never seen such clean tanks! They have a good variety. Their hours are very accommodating: they are even open on Sunday. I have visited the big box pet stores, as well as another local small store, and I cannot see myself buying fish or supplies anywhere but Fish den. read more

I'd like to give a lower rating but can't. Don't buy a tank here, return policy doesn't exist. They sold us a tank which almost killed our fish and wouldn't take it back. They shouldn't have sold it to us to begin with. Good thing we learned this before buying more here but it still stings when return policy isn't customer friendly. read more

High quality local business. Very friendly staff. Lots of fresh water fish. Some saltwater fish.

"Hole in the wall" mom and pop shop. We come here to buy feeder fish for our ducks to eat. Don't go in expecting much customer service and you'll be fine. read more

Negative 5 stars I Have never been ripped off more or given more wrong information about anything in my life. From what fish can be put in a tank to what equipment needed. Went over to Aquamart and those people are knowledgeable and don't just sell you stuff. they ask questions and recommend the proper fish/ equipment and support. the staff at fish den are uneducated and don't know what they are doing. read more

Congratulations, Fish Den! You just lost a customer who spent a lot of money there! This place sucks. The staff is uneducated and their fish are often diseased. Furthermore, their return policy, even for credit for healthy fish is horrible. They will give you 1/3 what you paid for the fish in credit, even if it's only been a few days and the fish are completely healthy. Ever heard of an isolation tank??? Dirty, disorganized, and a trashy staff who don't seem to care or know much about fish and their needs. Take a little pride folks, your lack of caring is evident. read more

I really like this place. They have everything you need and the staff is really nice and helpful. Both fresh and saltwater fish. Good variety of aquariums also. I recommend and will return. read more

Fun place to go look around! Big selection of fish and good size selection of plants too! Staff is super friendly and always willing to help. read more

I am a long time customer. I like the update they have done on the place. Still same great service and quality products. I always try to buy local and this place gets my business read more

Tied for my favorite fish store in the area. It's not the prettiest of venues, but they usually have a great selection of saltwater fish. It can sometimes be hard to find someone to help, but if you go up to the front desk and ask, they're very friendly. It may not be the place to go if you're looking for a wide selection of corals, but otherwise it's a great place to shop. read more

How can this place possibly not have a solid 5 stars? The customer service is outstanding, I have not had one fish or snail die out of the probably 20 or so I have bought from there (and I have been going there for about a year), the tanks are immaculate, and the variety is diverse and plentiful. I love this business and I drive 35 miles just to get fish food from them. read more

My family loves coming here to get fish. We go and check out all the tanks before getting what we came to buy. A majority of the fish we buy live for a good amount of time... much better than the big box pet stores which die pretty quickly after being taken home. The people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable and I don't feel like I'm bothering them when I ask questions. We will definitely be back for supplies and fish. read more
