AJ kindly offered to order the school AND quarantine them for me before I took them Home. He suggested testing my pond water to make sure how many fish it could handle. I took the water in--it is good--and he ordered the fish. I am impressed with the customer service and the Knowledge base. J helped me as well. New loyal customer here. I'd give more stars if I could.

Not the cleanest aquarium store I've been to but at least I didn't see many dead animals. The shop was dimly lit in some areas so I'm assuming that they're in the middle of re-organizing or something. Livestock price wise, i think it's reasonable. Although some tissue cultured were on the pricier side. The selection of plants and livestock were OK, I would probably only visit if you need equipment though. They have some ADA, UNS, Chihiros, CO2 tanks, etc. Here are some of the livestock prices to give you a sense of what they charge. This is not a comprehensive list but rather some livestock I was personally interested with: Prices as of June 2026: FW Fish Assorted Male Bettas - $10 Ember Tetra - $5 False Bandit Cory - $12 Kuhli Loach - $6 Longfin Bronze Cory - $10 Pea Puffers - $8 Pygmy Corydora - $6 Sterbai Cory - $15 Super Red Bristlenose - $30 Whiptail Catfish - $20 SHRIMP Amano Shrimp - $7 Bamboo Shrimp - $10 Black Tiger Shrimp - $15 Cherry Shrimp - $8 Opae Ula Shrimp - $5 Super Tiger Shrimp - $15 SNAILS Jade Mystery Snail - $5 Japanese Trapdoor Snail - $9

With strikingly competitive pricing you should consider this store to be the first stop when shopping for your next aquarium or adding to an existing one. One thing to note: Hours are not accurate on map listings. To my knowledge, they close at 5 p.m. on the days they're listed as open.

I've had a good experience with JJ Aquarium…read more The store itself isn't heavily stocked, but the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Even if they don't have what you're looking for in-store, they're honest about it and will often point you in the right direction for where to find it or what alternatives might work better. What stands out most is the advice. The recommendations are practical and based on experience, especially when it comes to fish care, corals, plants, and general aquarium setup. It feels more like getting guidance from someone who knows the hobby well rather than just a typical retail interaction. Overall, it's a useful local spot for information and support in the aquarium hobby, even if you're sourcing items from multiple places.
