The best store I have found for my saltwater aquarium needs. The corals look fantastic and they have a great selection, all with unbeatable prices. The fish stock (both marine and fresh) is also very impressive. Clean tanks and friendly staff — check it out and you will be impressed!
Knowledge from staff and plenty of stock with animals regularly sold/replaced makes this a go to place. However, it is best to read about any reptiles or aquarium inhabitants before going to a pet store so that you have an idea of what you want and how to care for them. Alot of reptiles and aquatic animals cant live together and may have special dietary needs. Talk to them about how far you are taking them, tank size, animal compatibility, etc. Setting up and caring for these animals takes as much time as a dog if you want them to live long, happy lives. ;)
Always friendly staff waiting to eagerly help you, and a broad selection for everything in the aquatic and reptile keeping hobby. Great selection of invertebrates as well!
Well kept, good selection of corals, saltwater fish, and reptiles. Freshwater fish selection is decent, and Im assuming would be bigger if they had more room. Tons of quality product too.
Very helpful staff, especially in helping me get my first tarantula :D I enjoyed talking to them especially because there is always an employee seeking to help you. Staff knows what they are talking about and have a wide selection of beautiful animals. I highly recommend this pet store.
Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful at this store. They have high quality fish and accessories. I wont buy anywhere else
I bought 40 bucks worth of fish . they wiped out my hole tank with fungus and I had to move them to quarantine tank and they all died. I dont take fish back but this time I did cause it was all there fish. The guy told me I needed to w8 6 to 8 weeks to set up a tank. This is not true and I w8ed 3 weeks with medium witch is more than enough. So he gave me store credit but said I cant spend it for 2 weeks cause it was my fault. So he was rude and I will never go again
They are so knowledgeable and prices are great on crickets and super worms. (Thats what I got). Ive been going to them for years and have yet to be disappointed.
Been coming here forever for my reptile supplies. Very nice and informative people.
I stopped in a few days ago, most of the tanks were really overstocked, multiple large fish in what looked like only 20Gs except the feeder fish that were crammed into much larger tanks, I know it’s temporary but I saw many fish being relentlessly chased by their tank makes and many of the fish looked borderline sick. There were dead shrimp in the tiny containers they were in and all the bettas were in the same style containers and all looked sickly. Went to the reptile side to hopefully see something better but all the water and food dishes had tons of dirt and poop in them, dead crickets everywhere, and the animals I saw didn’t look that great. Was hoping for a nice store based on reviews while I was in town for the day
I am usually leaving bad reviews. But this store is amazing. The staff are so nice and knowledgeable its great. They are personable and communicative. They have NO problem answering questions. Im at this store like two times a week getting feeders for my pirhanas. This is the only store that I go to.
Quick trip in and out and helpful answers/suggestions for my first ball python! Ill be back for sure
Nice supplies for fish tanks.
Staff is friendly and extremely informative. The reptiles, fish, and live coral sold here are impressively well taken care of, as their environments are the cleanest Ive seen in a pet store. Customers can be sure what they bring home will have the best chance of transitioning and acclimating to their own environments at home successfully, and as stress free as possible. Theyve come from a happy, healthy and clean environment at Aquatic Environments.Being a specialty store, prices arent the best, but unbiased recommendations and genuine expertise from employees make it worth your time, buying or not.Their team knows whats best for the health of your pets, which in my opinion, is what matters most to responsible aquarium and terrarium owners.
Always greeted right away w a smile... and always very helpful and very informational
Pretty discouraged by lack of customer service and the fact not a single employee was masked. Nice quality selection, but put a mask on and ask your customers if they need help.
Very helpful friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great place theyre always ready to help you and have a great deal of haulage and experience in what youre looking for and talking about
First time experience with a fish tank and everyone was great and answered all our questions
Awesome as always! Courtesy, speed, and frieny staff is what you can expect! Thankyou!
This is personally my favorite pet shop in the qc. From snakes, lizards, tarantulas, fish, and more. The crew that works there is phenomenal and very knowledgeable.
They have a really nice salection of lizards and Prices are on point
Great place to visit!!
Great selection of healthy fish and corals
Best fish store I’ve ever seen. Not to mention a mind blowing reptile, amphibian, arachnoid, etc selection. Knowledgeable & competent staff more than willing to assist. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I drive 70 minutes just to get there.
Loved to visit and just check out fish. Could spend hours in here, fish they have are healthy and last when bought. Also staff very friendly when you have questions. Great job!
Very knowledgeable staff Ive dealt with them for over 10+ years now and wouldnt go anywhere else
Very educated about the animals they sell. Extremely friendly staff.
This place is amazing! They give great advice and always make sure Im taken care of before I leave. I never feel like they are just trying to sell me something or more than what I came for. Each person working there is knowledgeable and easy to talk to as well.
Great place for exotic animals like snakes salt water fish lizards
Very knowledgeable staff and have a wide variety of aquatic animals and reptiles as well.
Loved that place just got my new bearded dragon and they have other animals like fish turtles lizards and more
Absolutely love this fish pet retile supply store lovely staff lovely selection
Ive bought fish, lizards, and feeder mice. Ive had a great experience every time! Great clean place. Nice staff!
I have been coming here for years. Clean and healthy tanks of fish, reptiles such as snakes, lizards, and turtles, amphibians like salamanders and frogs, and even some arachnids! Even if you arent coming to purchase you should stop by; they have a gorgeous array of corals, salt and fresh water tanks to view! Best aquatic store in the QC!
Best local place for snakes that usually can only get online or drive hours to get
I recommend Aquatic Environments to everyone! They are very knowledgeable and answer any questions you have without making you feel judged. They have a good variety of fish, accessories, food and supplies. If you didnt choose them for your fish needs, you chose the wrong store!
If you need advice or stuff for your fish tank, this is the place to go.
Aquatic environments is a good, well kept store. It is the only well-kept one in the Quad City area, imo. Things can get a bit pricey, but I normally accept this cost as a trade off for the quality. But, today, I tried purchasing a small box of 5 Red Cherry Shrimp for $3.99 (labeled, Red Cherry Shrimp, $3.99), which I had done in the past. The shrimp I had previously bought were about $1 each (4 for 4 total) and I got some guppy grass along with the purchase. Imo, this was a very great deal. Today was different.I was told that this would be $3.99 apiece for the shrimp and an extra $20 for the small patch of moss that was included in the bottom. $4 per wild type RCS is borderline criminal, let alone $40 for the whole thing in total.There was also a small container full of mostly-dead duckweed for $8. Duckweed, AKA the herpes of the aquarium world, is worth eight dollars according to this place! Teskes will give it to you for free!Im not sure what changed with this place, honestly...but I hope it doesnt stay like this.
Bought 3 awesome plecos from here last weekend awesome selection of saltwater and freshwater fish lots of supplies and fish food very nice store will be back
Over to top and everything you could ever want ..beautiful aquarium set ups variety of rocks and accessories to make your set up great..I couldnt get out of there

Great fish selection... Knowledgable
One of the best places to fish and reptile supplies. On top of that its supporting local.
Bought a panther chameleon here, showed us what we would need to make sure everything was right. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable also the store is pretty cool.
They are so helpful in starting my tank the right way. They are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable!
Super helpful staff and also very knowledgeable. They will do water tests and offer a huge selection.
Awesome the fish selection is great
Excellent animals, fish and reptiles. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
The only place I go to for salt water fish and accessories. They understand and take care of their animals (fish and reptiles). You can bring in water for testing, you can purchase water and live rock on site. Phenomenal selection of healthy corals. They sell freshwater fish and plants as well. If youre a beginner or not, they help guide you through the process to keep your tanks live and well. They have a wide variety of food and rock, plus any supplies you can think of. They also sell frags so you can start this hobby on a budget and watch them grow.
Pretty cool store big variety of aquatic needs but this place is always packed full of people and the store is too small they need to upgrade to a larger building so people can actually move around
Very friendly staff and awesome animals
I appreciate how nice the man working there was. I had some questions that Im sure seemed stupid to him but he was incredibly patient and answered all of them. I was very impressed by him and the store.
Great place if you are a beginner or experienced. Staff is always friendly and selection is great.
They teach scuba diving . Very nice energetic people. A unique experience
Love this place..the staff Is great..the selection of fish is amazing...my snake loves their rat selection.Update. .Thank you Aquatic Environment for rehoming my snake. It was very hard for me to give him up. I know he is in great hands.
Great place to get fish and lizards
The owner as well as all the staff was wonderful in educating us how to keep our fish alive to get back to Missouri. Thank you!
Everyone there is very helpful and friendly! An amazing selection of reptiles and they are also super informative! Love this place :)
Great staff! Love the fish selection and a good clean store!
First time going in there and it was a great experience the employees knew what they was talking about and they have great fish
Great store to buy aquatic supplies. Friendly staff. Small store kinda cramped but everything is in nice condition and store is clean so its worth the visit.
Nice selection. Clean. Kinda pricey for cichlids. Staff wasnt overly friendly or helpful but good enough.
Knowledge...experience...conscientious staff. They have the stuff to keep your pets healthy, and give gr8 advice. Ive been getting fish and supplies there for fifteen years. I also enjoy checking out the reptile room.
Love the whole darn place. Lots of fish and other living things to choose from. And all your tank needs
Good selection of item for aquariums
Good selection sorta pricey
Nice and friendly
Nice Selection of Pets and Supplies
My number one place to go for aquarium and fish needs. Will never buy fish from the bigger chains again!
The manager at this shop saved us a bunch of $$ by letting us know about a simple fix for our tank instead of pushing pricey tank/lighting equipment on us. For that reason- we will definitely be going back. Thanks guys!
Very good place with lots of help from the employees.
Store is clean. Employees helpful and nice. Price have been raised too high.
They always have what I need for my pets
Very helpful and informative.
Very helpful staff, and definitely have everything you need for fish, reptiles, and amphibians.
This is a great store. Best selection of snakes I have seen around. We received great help. The guy in charge of the snakes is very knowledgeable about the snakes themselves and what best suits them. Personally wanting to purchase from here, it is great knowing they are handled regularly. Great prices as well! They will also work with you on setting up layaway.
They were very helpful they always have what I need for my reptiles
Knowledgeable staff, great variety of salt and fresh water fish. They also carry a nice variety of aquatic plants for your aquarium and about anything you could possible need to keep your aquarium running at its best. They also offer water testing so no more guessing on the quality and state of your water.
#1 aquarium store in Midwest. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Everything you could possibly want or need under one roof. No need to look further than this place.
Great store, staff is very knowledgeable.
Love this store, great selection of salt and fresh water fish. Alot of other exotic creatures also
I used to really love this place. I purchased my first snake there. However, she was sick, never grew, and died within less than a year. I went for another snake. They seemed fine until I realized the snake had an RI. And to add, later this week I visited the place to buy mulch and saw all the reptiles were having patchy sheds, the ball pythons seemed to have injuries, and a blood python had wounds on his tail.I dont think Ill be buying snakes from there anymore, which is sad because its hard to find healthy reptiles in this area.
My family and I enjoy coming to see all the beautiful fish. We got a Bala Shark from here and he’s doing wonderful. Plan on making more purchases in the near future. Staff is on point with helping with anything you need.
My go to place when I need something right away. Great selection of equipment, supplies, fresh water and salt water species. The staff is very knowledgeable aswelk and very helpful.
First time ever at Aquatic Environments, stopped in because we were curious about what to do with our 75 gallon aquarium. They were very knowledgeable and willing to help. They offered great ideas and had demo tanks on display with different setups to show what can be done with great labeling and descriptions so you can understand what it takes to create a tank like you see.The smell.Why do I mention the smell?Theyve got dry tanks, full tanks, saltwater, freshwater, reptile, amphibians, shared environments, planted tanks, pond tanks, feeder fish tanks & more.You cant tell walking in that there is that much tank diversity based on the smell, it smells clean.I wish I took pictures, but youll just have to go see for yourself, its nicely arranged, very clean and well kept.I was very impressed & will be returning to give them my business.
Awesome selection
Their reptile enclosures are full of old crusty urate, fecal matter, and the corners have mold growing in them. The snakes have mites so bad that you can see them crawling on the surface of the snakes.When brought to the stores attention they instead of rectifying the problem they chose to ignore it.
The staff was so professional and wonderful!
Huge assortment of reptiles and fish with all the care supplies you need, only downside is its a little cramped. Parking is decent with a lot around half the building
Nice selection of fish, love their salt water tanks.
Helpful and a fun store to visit!
Lots of neat pets
They have the best customer service and their knowledge of their livestock is awesome. I have gotten a crested and a leopard gecko from here and a crested gecko set up and they have been thriving
Nice store. High quality products.
