Not a bad place, honestly would give 5 stars if they renovated. It has a little bit of a hoarders vibe and while the tanks themselves are not that dirty, everything else appears dirty but, it hard to say if it’s cleaning or just wear.This place just needs to tear down the racks and restart their tanks, improve the lighting, and organize the inventory a bit better. Now that fish gallery is gone, I think if they did this then they could capitalize on the market for the area really well.

This is quite the busy shop so you need a little patience if you need a tank setup. That being said, they have a fantastic selection of fish and accessories. I highly recommend having them setup your system for you. Brian came in and set this tank up beautifully. Love, love, love it!

Id recommend this store for anyone that has a tank or is starting one. the staff helped tremendously and seemed more knowledgeable/honest than the usual stores. well worth the visit! this store will now be my go to for our tank needs.

As always they are very professional and honest. I but from them regularly and they are very helpful. On top of that their prices are great. If your a saltwater enthusiast theres no where in dfw you can buy pre mixed salt for their price.

Great staff. Very helpful. Ill be back for sure.2nd visit even better. Thanks mo for the advice.

Went to school w the owner. Good person but also wonderful fish, knowledgeable and cared for fish. We got fish back in 2015. I still have 3/5 of them after moving across the country twice and lots of local moves. One died only because he was old and the other because the one shark ate the smaller one. We had fish dying when we got our tank and he checked the water for us and made suggestions that worked. Well cared for, clean store and we are driving from Tyler to get more fish from here!

Not friendly, unavailable really to help over the phone, still waiting for a lid I ordered a week ago that got “overlooked” and when I ask for a refund they only “apply store credits”. Lastly very dirty inside and unorganized. Only reason why I am giving 2 stars is because they gave me a store credit for a fish I sold them. I thought that was nice.

Sent a message in advance via Facebook to purchase neon tetras and they got back to me within an hour. Went and got the fish and looked around while they were getting them out and preparing the bag. When I got home I noticed one fish had some type of disease(white tail), so took a picture and message them via facebook again but they went radio silent on me. Needles to say the fish died and now I have another one showing the same symptoms, so I will have to quarantine the fish and hopefully I can save this one. Be aware when buying livestock there, and always stay with the staff to make sure theyre not giving you sick fish. Back to the Aquarium Gallery for me as I never had issues with them.

GREAT PLACE!! Well informed about their fishs. My first time going here. This will be my home base for getting my fishs. They have a very friendly environment. WIFE love this place as well as I.

Excellent quality, nice store setup, great selection of fresh and saltwater fish. Great prices on quality fish food and other items.

We drove from Plano to Garland to pick up supplies. We were shocked to a an open sign on the door and their website said open but the doors were locked. Tried to call and there was no answered. Sorry, but we took our business elsewhere! You should communicate better!

Awesome selection of fish that are hard to find, sadly quiet a few tanks had ich otherwise would have gotten a few more. The bags they use are rather weak and a couple of ours fell to the floor. They were really friendly and did warranty our fish if anything happens. Will go back.

Quick and easy in and out. Staff is very knowledgeable with my aquarium needs

My granddaughter and I have been talking about setting up an aquarium. We looked at the usual Petco, Pet Supplies Plus and others. We thought it might be best to visit an actual aquarium store so we went to Aquarium Boutique. They were following the COVID 19 mandated protocols. When you enter the store it is very disorganized with aquariums in cabinets but no pricing or information posted. You basically have to navigate your way through to the fish and supplies. Its very cramped inside. They have some nice aquarium plants and some corals.

Cute lil shop, wish they had more for sale, a lot of their tanks had items they werent selling however staff was very friendly. owner gave great advice will definitely go back

Very rude person working there wasn’t helpful and kept working while I had a few questions will never spend another dime at this place, I just want to add whoever answers the phone tuesday sept 22nd is VERY helpful even on the phone while taking care of customers

Tanks were all dirty, not very knowledgeable staff. So cramped, cant even social distance.

The conditions in which they keep their fish is not ideal; the tanks are small, overstocked, and often feature multiple dead fish that have obviously been sitting for a while. The customer service was terrible. I bought 12 fish from them yesterday afternoon, this morning every single one was dead. We had tested the water and the conditions were clean and safe, we drip acclimated the fish for an hour and tested to make sure the pH/temperature matched before adding them to the tank. They would not give our money back.

The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. At this store you can find pet supplies at a good price and fish you probably havent seen.

Always helpful and friendly. Ill definitely be back.

- Customer service was good.- Prices were good.- We tried to buy three different fish and they all had Fluke . Upon further inspection all the saltwater tanks had Flukes and they were not able to sell any fish.

Great selection of livestock and other goods. Popular place.

A few months ago I went into this store, and let me tell you; these people have amazing customer service! An employee came to help me pick out just what I needed as soon as I walked in, and on top of all that, their selection was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!

The guys were very knowledgeable and really helped me out with m btank questions. Also took the time to explain the types of fish that would work well together. Will certainly be back soon.

Wonderful shop with wonderful staff. This is the spot to come for fish in Dallas. The prices are very fair, and the customer service is great. Plenty of beautiful, healthy corals to choose from and lots of fish too. The owner and his staff care about the animals and I’ve seen them turn people away from an animal that they weren’t ready for. That speaks volumes!!! Not your typical fish store where they will say anything to be sure you buy something. Keep up the great work folks!

They are the best fish and aquarium dealer in DFW

Great experience. Staff well knowledge on my needs and issues.

Very knowledgeable.... friendly..... huge selection.... bought 3 shrimp (1 blue velvet and 2 black carbon) and they made the drive back to Tyler and are doing great in their new home. I will definitely be back! Thanks!

Been going here for a few years, and have had nothing but great things to say the whole time.AB is a solid aquarium shop for both fresh & saltwater aquariums. the corals ive bought here have done very well, same with the deresa clam, fish & nems.The owner, Yuki, is great! same with his staff! very friendly & always willing to offer advice without trying to upsell you into buying something you dont need.highly recommend! glad to have them in the neighborhood

I love this place. Whether your kid wants his first fish or your a season hobbyist, they will have the fish and advice you need.

Very knowledgeable about saltwater aquariums. Purchased saltwater from here and ph Balancer. My saltwater aquarium is looking much better now. Will be back to purchase more fish

I bought two fish from here in two days both fish died before I could get them in my tank.

Great place to get fish for your aquarium and other items that may be needed. Bought rocks we that were needed for our turtles tank!

Neat please. Had some hard to find goldfish and tons of plants! Will be going back here again!!

Best fish store around. Yuki and his staff answer all my saltwater questions no matter how many I have. Get all my saltwater fish from here and frequently visit the store.

Was like a kid in an aquaculture candy store of sorts! Haha! Beautiful livestock and varied stock of plants. I was so impressed with the health of their pufferfish (who typically are wild caught and come riddled with internal parasites and are therefore typically rather malnourished in the store setting) that I couldnt resist getting another handful of Indian dwarf BB or Pea Pufferfish when I already have 5 healthy ones at home. The atmosphere was very professional and very personable. Its now one of my favorites in the DFW area, just absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it! (Photo is of the puffers after acclimating to my home tanks water right before I put them in... Remarkably had 100percent survive after an 8hr drive back home!)Returned a week ago and the man working was so patient and knowledgable that I needed to update my review. Smart staff helps greatly, but smart and patient is just super impressive! Again, great store! Worth just even to look around.

Awesome place to get fish. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

They have a pretty nice selection and honest about there fish and the discounts dont hurt

Awesome selection of freshwater plants!

The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They are friendly and always have a smile and an upbeat attitude

This place was incredible with customer service, especially John, YOU ROCK!!!!!!! John was so patient and so honest with all my selections! In my opinion, customer service goes A LONG WAY..thank you for making my experience her unforgettable..in an amazing way!!!!

They deserve 10 stars! The customer service here is top-notch! So pleased! Excellent job, Aquarium Boutique!

Place is always great.Fish are healthy. People are knowledgeable and always willing to help.

Lots of fish to choose from but i was mostly impressed with the customer service. The guy didnt just want to rush me into buying. he gave great advice and even advised i come back with a sample of the water before purchasing. He was really knowledgeable. I will definitely go back here when i am ready to set up my aquarium again.

I want to love this place. I love the selection that they have, but there are always so many dead fish in the aquariums. A lot of the tanks are full of fish with ich. Theres no way I would put anything from the store into my tank. Not to mention, there is construction stuff everywhere. Theres no room to walk down the isles if someone else is looking at fish. Like I said, I really want to like this place, I would just never buy anything from there.

Love coming here with the kiddos to look at and buy fish!

Great place. They know a lot about fish and they take good care of the ones in the store.

Great staff

Health fish, helpful owners, good prices.

Great place we love to see Yuki and Jackson and the whole team.

Thanks Tori for the Goldfish!! I was heartbroken when my husband told me MoMo died. MoMo was my spotted balloon belly Molly male fish. But I still have my other male Molly Goldie and 2 new Goldfishes. Im so happy now. Thank You so much Tori.

Always incredibly nice people and knowledgeable.

Really informative super helpful professional

Just love it. We always stop when we are close by.

Love the different types of fish I received

Love this place! Has wonderful selection of fish. Workers are very informed and helpful.

Great little fish store. Ive came to the same location for over thirty years. They still carry live-bearers. Neat for those of us still feeding live fish. Hate Rosy reds.

Employees were knowledgeable of aquarium equipment & use.

+Called ahead of time and asked if they needed Dusky Mollies, was told to bring them in for store credit only. Got there at 2:45pm, young man tells me that they cant take them all but just about 15. Then tells me a second time, that they can take them all but I would get no store credit .My mollies are healthy and they have purchased from me before. I was lied to and then they tried to cheat me. I wasted my gasoline and my time.How dare you treat your customers this way. Nothing is for free and store credit would have been just fine.

Cool place really good staff

Very gud customer service. Lrg selection of fish and supplies. Very knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable about the hobby. Great group of guys

This store great! They have great customer service and they truly care for their fish!! I just set up a new 125g marine tank and all of the workers have been instrumental in helping me cycle and stock the tank with the right fish! I recommend this store 100%

Best assortment of fish and each tank is SUPER clean. Whether youre looking for nano or monster fish youll find it here.

Great selection of healthy fish. Offered great advice for a successful tank.

Theyre going under renovations right now but Im sure its going to look great. Nice selection

They actually have frontosa in stock, great knowledgable customer service, beutyfull discus assorment, and many more from entry level hobbyists to advanced would recomend to anyone in the area

Its a nice little store and probably would be helpful for people who do not know anything about tropical fish. But I prefer to buy a majority of my stuff online where I can get the prices cheaper including a fish.

I used to really like this place. They havent had the best customer service the last two times Ive been tho. I guess bothered them by wanting more than one fish out of more than one tank. I did like their prices, but its worth it to pay more for service. i wont be back

Lots of variety and knowledgable staff.

Helpful staff & lots of varieties of fish

Always a pleasure seeing Mr Bruce!!!

This place is awesome! Stopped by to check out their stock and walked out with everything that I was looking for. As soon as you walk in, they dont bombard you - they let you do your thing until youre ready to make some choices/ask questions. I was VERY happy with their variety and selection of small freshwater fish and shrimp. If youre looking for shrimp/crayfish, this is your place!!

WAY WAY WAY over priced. $10 for a female betta?? I can get them at Petco for $2 or fish gallery for $5. Fish gallery is better, they have all the same stock + more for a REASONABLE price. Will not be shopping here.

Most of the fish are cute specially the catfish

This place is a bit of an enigma to me. The selection is small, but they tend to carry stuff you don’t see at other aquarium stores in Dallas. The staff is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful, despite always seeming like they just got done smoking a bowl, but don’t quite understand how to “sell” or provide a memorable experience. And the livestock I have purchased here has been perfect, despite the store being so dirty I literally feel like I need to wash my hands after I leave.My personal opinion as someone familiar with running businesses is that this store definitely is run by people super passionate about the industry but that don’t quite understand how to run a business. If they could tighten up some of the small things (for the love of god, this store is in need of a scrubbing and general field day) they would have one of the best stores in the entire country.

The people here were very friendly, helpful, and considerate. They had all the fish we wanted and good prices, too! We were NOT disappointed and will definitely be coming here again!

Very helpful....went with my granddaughter...young man was thoughtful and helpful......

Really nice set ups, wide variety of fish, not so much plants, helpful staff. Its a cramped mom and pop kind of layout. I like both spacious stores and these kinds as they have great aethestics and atmosphere each.

They always are helpful and have a good selection of fish and supplies!

Great place to go spin time

I really enjoy the fish here, but there is one staff member who always has a bad face on. It is the girl who always wears a tank top and a headband on her ponytail. She had a really bad attitude when her coworker let her know I needed help. On top of that, she told me they do not have warranty on their fish. I then asked what would happened if the fish I bought died within days. She stated it was a case by case basis and I would have to bring a water sample in AND CALL them before going?? Well sure enough the $25 fish I bought died within days. He was in a cycled tank with fish mates, so I had no problem bringing in a water sample. Luckily, my dad tossed the fish so i couldnt return him. They must have real high expectations on the quality of fish they carry if they have no warranty. I will not be returning here whatsoever.

I have only had great fantastic Experience when ever I go for a fish are supplies

I feel like a kid in a candy shop everytime I come here. They have a great selection on plants, fish, shrimp.. EVERTHING! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! I would highly recommend this place!

I know it was under renovation but it was the unfriendly vibe I felt that led me to the door right away

While the store itself is small, THE FISH ARE AWESOME! Always a great selection of both fresh and salt and the employees are very helpful. Unlike other fish places the people here really know what they are talking about 10/10 would recommend.

The only place I go for advice on my fish, and my snail....

It is refreshing to have a local fish shop in the neighborhood. This spot offers personalized advise, a great variety of fish and the best prices on tanks; you will find just about everything you can possibly need. The owner is an advanced hobbyist, kind, patient and willing to share knowledge. I just love this place!

Fish... Are cool too

Went to spend money and buy fish. Not a novice on tanks, we have a few. Asked about some fish and got talked down to and just repeatedly told I need to bring water in first to be tested. I didnt know that was a requirement to buy fish. Didnt like the service, didnt spend any money. Have not been to this store in many years, now I remember why, it also explains why its not near as big as it used to be. Will not be back.

Great selection.

Good selection of salt and fresh water

My fiancée and I had a great time picking out an aquarium at this shop. They have excellent service and stock. We are going back for a free water test after our tank cycles. Very fun and enjoyable experience!

There fish always look incredibly healthy and they have an awesome selection of both fish tanks and supplies!

They have a dog puff fish and it has hair and nostrils....it was amazing

Everybody you have to go to this place! The owner Yuki knows a lot about fish and will answer any of your questions! They have awesome varieties of fish, and if you bring half a cup of water, they do free water tests! I personally recommend this place! And they have good prices!

Great assortment of cichlids and a huge number of hard to find parts and pieces for your aquarium.

The Aquarium Boutique is an awesome place to purchase fish and aquarium supplies. Their aquariums are always stocked, the fish are all healthy, and the prices are very inexpensive! The employees are all very knowledgeable and respectful, I have never entered the store without being greeted and asked if they could help me find what I was looking for. The owner Yuki is a great guy to chat with, he makes you feel like more of a friend than just a customer. I would highly recommend shopping at the Aquarium Boutique for all your aquarium needs. Great store. Great people. Great fish.

Wow! The kid in here knows more about fish than any single adult ive ever spoken with. Very very impressive. Definitely will be going back

The owner is amazing and helpful- super knowledgeable about every fish in there - and he’s funny. Great personality, great service.
