Very helpful and knowledgable about fish. They have a nice variety of tropical and marine fish. I get my freshwater snails here because of the large selection of snails.
I dont come here as often as I should! Every time I do Shannon and Prosper are on top of it, and the new staff are equally friendly. I got some stunning ruby tetras today and was able to have an educational chat about some plants I havent had before. Normally we go to big box because its closer to our new home but the we had such a bad experience with their undertrained staff we made the trip out to get some quality customer service. Everything in this tank has come from them from the wood to the substrate and its going on 4+ years. Thanks so much for all the hard work!
Such a knowledgeable owner. Have bought many fish and supplies here. Our number one stop foot quality fish and assistance.
Recently moved to the area and have been to several fish stores. This is one of my favorites. Interesting fish selection. Friendly owners. Also got a tank stand built custom for my fluval tank through them.
My favorite pet shop in the area. Always has a great selection.
Very friendly and helpful owners. They are always ready to lend a hand. I value their opinions and recommendations for my aquarium.
Excellent service and always ready with helpful advice. Quality fish and accessories
I enjoyed looking at the different variety of fish. The place is very lovely, great staff. Glad to have a place nearby for my fish needs.
Great place to buy local healthy plants, no more waiting on the mail for my plants, very knowledgeable staff. Will be coming later after I establish my good bacteria on my tank. Hidden little gem. Bring a sample of your aquarium if your new to the hobby
Very cluttered space. Not conducive to browsing.
Needs updated phone number and no other way of contact... will update when info is.
The owners are very nice and were able to answer any question I had and they have good vibes all around. The shop is clean and they have a very good variety of fresh and saltwater life. All the tanks are very well kept and fish look healthy! Its my favorite shop in the area :)
Very friendly and knowledgeable, great owner and staff!
Always have a great selection of fish and at great prices and really friendly staff on hand ready and willing to help or answer any questions you have. Just a very good fish store over all.
Best fish store in Houston! The owners are super nice and knowledgeable. Great selection always getting rare fish in!
Always great customer service. The fish are always healthy as well as the plants and coral. The staff really stand behind what they sell and are very knowledgeable about their products
Great selection at a great price. Knowledgeable staff willing to answer your questions with a smile. Highly recommend AquaZoo if youre looking for a great place with a diverse selection.
The fish selection is very diverse and plentiful - both salt and fresh water. You can purchase filtered water for a pretty nominal amount, and that has saved our fish. Theyll test your water as well and help you trouble shoot. They are very knowledgeable about aquariums and will not let you over populate your tank or allow you to get into a situation you arent prepared for.
You need to be going here, period.
Nice local shop with most things you need or want for aquarium. A couple of cool show tanks. Love a large tank full of tetras.
Went there for the wild caught Emperor Tetras which have great color and health. Their store has an impressive selection of fish and inverts. AquaZoo has many items in close proximity, I recommend taking your time and looking around. Wife and I will be going back soon.
Very nice place, always have what I needIf you have a problem with your tank. They go way out of their way to help you solve
Always a great place to go for serious aquarist
This store is in my top 3 freshwater tropical fish stores in the Houston area. The owners are always helpful and clearly experienced in the hobby. They always have a wide selection of fish and plants, so much so that I see something new or interesting every time I go. They have a good relationship with their importers and wholesalers as they seem to be able to fill special orders pretty fast. They are also easy to contact over email and get back to you quickly. Personally, I’m a corydoras and pleco guy, and I’m blown away by the awesome number of wild corys and L-number plecos they usually have. Honestly, mom-and-pop stores like one got me into the hobby. Sadly, they are as rare as hens teeth these days, but I’m glad to call this one my LFS.
Shannon and Prosper are very knowledgeable. They have helped me a lot on my fish tanks. Also have a good inventory of supplies for your fish tanks.
Ive been going to Aquazoo for a while now and it is about a million times better than chain pet stores. Customer service is great, the quality of fish is amazing, and the variety of fish in awesome. They have regular fish and they also have exotic fish that you cant find anywhere else in the Houston area, and they are even at a great price.
I bought three fish here. The tetras had ick, it killed my entire established tank including a cat, two loaches, my other tetras, and of course the three new fish. I’ll need to sanitize the tank and start over. Won’t be buying from this store again.
Carry large fish. exotic hard to find fish. pricey
It needs a lot of improvements though they do have many type fish. Very small place which needs to be organized and updated. Owners are very quite and are always busy.
Love the owners they are gems in this hobby with lots of knowledge. If you approach them and show respect like you should they treat you the same. Great selection were I always find something new. And they keep synodontis cats on a regular basis.
They have some beautiful big fish but when I was in there today to try to get some fish that could survive the size of my other fish, they didnt offer to help or even ask what we were looking for. When we tried to get some fish wed found that were perfect, they said that the tanks were were looking in were display tanks and werent for sale. The only ones of the fish we wanted that they would sell were too small for our tank and would have been eaten by our fish. They really need to mark tanks as display so they dont disappoint potential long term customers. They didnt really seem to care much. Like i said, beautiful fish, the customer service just wasnt there. Its a shame because there arent that many aquarium stores that have that size of fish close by.
My husband goes here a lot he loves the staff an had them build the aquarium in our home its our go to place
Awesome store run by an amazing couple. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Great selection of supplies, fish, and plants.
I visit this plaza on El Darado all the time. The shops look small, but they always surprise me. Auqazoo is actually much larger than it seems from the outside. They have a really good selection of fish or other aqua animals. If youre starting an aquarium they have all youll need. Unfortunately, my only complaint is the size, even though they made the area they have work, its still a pretty small store
AquaZoo is great. They have beautiful fish and love their scaping supplies.
I have been visiting Aquazoo for years and they never disappoint me. They have a wide range of dry goods, many healthy freshwater fish, and a small selection of salwater fish and coral. This is my go-to store for one of the foods I feed my fish, and they always give me great advice.
Very good selection of fresh water products and small tanks. Customer service was outstanding as well. Lady at the counter was very busy but remained polite and answered all my questions perfectly! Prices are comparable to other pet stores so no problem there. Definitely would recommend to any aquarium enthusiasts! Will definitely return for future business!
I normally dont write post about people or their establishment but the person was so rude to me. I felt it necessary to tell others about my experience. I went into aqua zoo on Thursday l am new to the fish world. I have been doing dog rescue and behavioral training for many yrs. ( not advertising ) but when it comes to the fish world l learning which leads to many questions. Long story short l went into aqua zoo to asked what fish were compatible with the fish l had in my tank. The owners wife was rude, short and almost put out by my presents. I purchased 4 fish that she recommended thinking she might be having a bad day. She told me that since l had a blue Gourami she couldnt sell me a pearl one l asked why because l truly didnt know the Gourami and Pleco came with the tank l Purchased. She told me with a tone of Superiority the blue Gourami was the most aggressive of the breed they did not carry them or any other common fish. I really wanted a pearl so l gave him to my friend who was also new to the fish world. I found out later from other sources that is not always the case. All that l aside l went in today to get my pearl Gourami and told her that the blue Gourami is not always aggressive some can be timid like mine was and even get bullied. She told me her husband has been doing this longer than l have been alive. She was extremely rude to me. I would normally just let it go but this is the second time she treated me like something she stepped in. I asked why are you like this you were rude to me when l came in the other day and even more so today. Well that set her off she told me to leave her store and never come back. I told her she was not a nice person and that l would write a post about how l was treated because no one should have to be treated that way. Her husband was a very nice man but she was even short with him. I would not recommend this place to anyone who is new to the fish world. The lady is very short, rude and Intolerant. She certainly doesnt like to be call out on her rude behavior. She went as far as to tell me l wish l could post about your behavior. I asked her what behavior because l didnt want to be treated badly? After reading other reviews on yelp it confirmed what l thought l was just imagining but l did feel she was racist thinking l was of Spanish decent. I felt it both times l went in. Another thing l don’t post about is racism. I am aware It exist because of my features people assume l am Mexican. When l read the yelp reviews the people that were treated badly had the same features. I also get that they are of the old generation were this was expectable but wrong will never be right. I noticed they deleted my review on their fb page and blocked. me. There seems to be no limits to their bad behavior. It’s just sad.
Rotten business! dont deal with a liar well. Wont be back. Owner? Manager answered phone x3 instead of helping my son and I. When we did get her attention she was indifferent at best and then lied to me. Enough said.
I recently found this awesome little shop because they were the only store in the area to carry certain supplies that I needed. I was instantly welcomed with warmth and knowledge. These people love what the do and dont just tell you what you want to hear to make a sale. I would encourage everyone in the hobby to support shops like this. Their fish are healthy and you can tell they take great care to provide optimal fish and products!
Love, love, love this place! Shannon and Prosper are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They always keep such a unique mix of livestock, every time you go there there is something new to see. Check this gem out, you dont be disappointed! #shoplocal
Amazing selection. Always have rare fresh and saltwater stock and really cool wild caught odd balls. All the fish are very healthy and the owners are a wealth of information. It can get busy and the small tightly packed space can become very crowded, but just be patient and it will be worth it!
Awsome shop. Very nice people
Its cool ... lots of interesting fish
This place is fantastic! I have never seen a sick fish in their tanks in the 4 times Ive been here. I will definitely be coming back soon! They have a very wide selection of stock and often have fish I cant find elsewhere. They are the closest store to me that sells sponge filters. The people running the store are so nice and knowledgable too.
Lady Super helpful and knowledgeable.Will be a repeat customer!!Selection is phenomenal!!
Best selection of plants, fish, and hardscape around. Was extremely surprised by their competitive pricing. Found some harder to find plants for half the price they sell online, when you can find them in stock. Aqua zoo has been my goto store for longer than I can remember
Yes! A great place. I have gotten so many items here. Just a great store for quick stops
Almost impossible to look around, I had to watch every step I took. Several huge beautiful fishes.
Great fish and advice from very knowledgeable people! My go to place.
Nice local fish shop. A little messy and hectic but a nice variety of plants and fish and equipment.
Love this store!! Great selection, great prices. Fish are healthy, the owners are very helpful and friendly.
Very knowledgeable. Great inventory and pricing right in line.Love this place.
Love the variety of fish!!!! So did my 5 year old.
Knowledgeable staff and good stock to choose from. Prices arent the best, but hard to beat the quality.
This your one stop shop for everything youll need for your aquarium. Owners work the store and are always so pleasant. They will provide you with the answers to all your questions while providing quality livestock and supplies. Come check them out and see why they are my favorite shop to go to!!
My daughter and I have been shopping for a fish tank for about 2 months. We found Aqua Zoo after several failed attempts at finding something we loved at the big stores. The store is small, but as soon as my family walked in the owner Shannon made us feel like we came to the right place. We needed help and she made everything seem so simple and assured us shed be with us each step along the way. We noticed an aquarium in-store that we liked, but since it was for my daughter we wanted something other than brown. She ordered it in white and within 2 weeks we had a custom tank and stand at a good price. We love it! She has taken her time coaching us each step of the way to ensure we have a healthy tank and healthy fish.
I walked into here nervous if they would care because of my young age, that never happened by that I mean Im a kid and they dont treat me like Im stupid, before I even bought my filter, (which works very good by the way) she answered questions that I had asked and I had a feeling they were good. Unlike when I go to pet smart and they lie to get money. That filter is better then ANY filter I could of bought at petsmart I will definitely come here more often
Super knowledgeable staff! Excellent quality products! This is the only aquarium store I trust implicitly.
Great place to buy fish and supplies, always my first choice when it comes to the stock in my cichlid tank. Everything they carry is the best on the market, such as foods and filter media. Small store but thats the best thing about it because they get to know you on a personal level and I appreciate the effort they put into making sure you get a healthy fish and a healthy aquarium community. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a better experience than a big box store. Wish I could give them more stars.
This is my local fish store. The staff recognizes me now that I am in there a lot and they have always been helpful. Even before I started spending money in there they would help answer questions. They do get busy and with the store being as tightly packed as it is it can be a little awkward navigating the store. I am patient though so I just get out of the way and wait for my turn.Yes the place is small and the selection is a product of the space available, but I will say the fish the do have are healthy and safe to add to your tank. They care for their fish properly and will refuse to sell you a fish that they are not confident that it is healthy. I have been to a lot of the stores around town and I have on more than one occasion been sold sick fish that get all the rest of my fish sick too. It is, in my opinion the worst thing that a store can do. I consider it down right disrespectful.I bought a filter there last weekend and it had a crack in it and they did not hesitate to exchange it. They have a good selection of food and chemicals as well as accessories. Lots of driftwood too, thats next on my list.I would give five stars if the store itself was a little easier to shop and move through. Even so, I will continue to shop there, I prefer it to the larger big box chains.
Great local fish keepers, you can tell they love the hobby
They usually have rare and to find fish and plecos
Its a nice place and it had what I needed.
Fantastic shop with helpful and friendly staff. They also carry a ton of eheim parts!
Wow! Check this place out! They have literally everything!
Its a husband and wife owned shop and they are always willing to give you the best rather than trying to make a quick sale. I get a lot of my aquarium plants from them and whenever I have a question theyre very knowledgeable. I enjoy coming in and looking at their assortment of fish that you dont quite find at a regular Petsmart or Petco, despite being a small shop.
The place for the serious aquarium hobbyists in the Clear Lake area. Almost every sq.ft of the shop is crammed with fish tanks and aquarium supplies. The owners Prosper & Shannon are very knowledgeable and will provide good advice unlike the sales guys in the big stores like Petsmart and Petco. Go here and get good healthy fish (saltwater and freshwater) and good advice to avoid or take care of any issues that may crop up in the aquarium.
Large selection of plants
Was great!! best fish in town. Looked long and for a great live fish store. (Found it).
Expensive. Messy. Trip hazards everywhere--snaking hoses in and around puddles on uneven plywood flooring. Most fish are large healthy speciums.
Love this place awesome customer service healthy stock over all has that old school fish shop feel a must go to
My favorite fish store by far. The owners are amazing, so is the selection.
Not friendly, expensive as well.
Very friendly and knowledgeable! Only place we go to for our freshwater tanks.
Best little fish store Ive ever been to Super customer service just all out good people
Very knowledgeable people and have a great selection of healthy fish. They also have a great selection of foods and chemicals to choose from.
Love their store so much eye candy its crazy. Good store for breeders, hobbyists or ppl who just want their first tank
I always find nice surprises there.
The owners are really nice and have taken the time to help me understand how to manage my aquarium.
The selection of fish is great but their prices are high and the owners seem uncomfortable with customers. My little boy who is 9 with special needs needed to use the restroom and they said he couldnt so I had to take him elsewhere. I guess they are worried about theft or something. They never said a word to me or my husband.
The selection of fish at this store is nothing short of astonishing, though their freshwater section is much larger then their saltwater. Another bonus is the large fish section, not something alot of store invest in. It seems a little crowded inside but that because it jam packed with so many fish! Customer service is outstanding as well. Highly recommend that you check this place out if your serious about keeping fish.
This place is awesome! I made the mistake of learning the hard way with starting my first aquarium dont do the same aquazoo has the professional insight that I needed. I will be going here from now on!
If you need frozen food for your fish (Omega One Carnivore, Brine Shrimp, Blood Worms) this is the place to buy. Lower prices than petco and petsmart. They even have food for smaller fishes with smaller mouths.
Best fish store around. Nicest owners
Decent place, friendly owners.
This place is closed way too often. Different hours every week lately. Twice weve made a 30+ minute trip to find them closed when we got there.
Small but well stocked shop. Owners are knowledgable and have quality, healthy fish at bargain prices.
Nice store, too pricey. The man will bargain with you, dont even bother with the woman.
Great place. Friendly and informative staff. The selection truly is, nothing short of astonishing.
Huge inconvenience we came before the scheduled closing time and they were already closed. It’s 5:07. Won’t come back
I came to this store and practically denied to sell me a fish because the lady wanted to test my water fisrt i undertand you want to make sure your product go to safe enviroment but i live too far plus i got closer stores that can do that for me waisted gas trip.never again
When Imrecently went to Aqua Zoo I saw a small entry door thinking This isnt so good. THEN I went in and WHAMMY! I could not believe what a great little gem was there. It has everything. As I was shopping the owner was unloading a Pla not delivery with a load of plant in an array of variety, everything I wished for in a planted tank. Beautiful, healthy fish many varieties. I found a gem with everything you want for your aquarium.
This place would be awesome if the older gentleman had a better attitude
Picked up some amazing wild caught Corydoras Burgessi. Great selection and helpful staff.
Tons of fish! The place is very cluttered though and is a tripping hazard. But a nice variety of fish and fish supplies.
Great place, great people
Has fish. Is good
