Tropical Fish World & Pets

One of my favorite local spots for aquarium supplies. They occasionally have really good sales and the staff have always been super helpful. They have pretty much everything you could need at least for freshwater aquariums.

Their other supplies for Reptiles and "normal" pets like cats and dogs are also great.

They have all kinds of stock. Staff was nice and the price for what I had bought was fair. I was just given a 6-week old German Shepherd pup…I WILL be back!

I love this place! Stock tanks are large, not overcrowded, no tank mates that would be dangerous to each other, and every time I go the fish are healthy and happy. The employees are knowledgeable and will not sell fish to someone who doesn't have a tank already set up - which is amazing! Kind people, priced well, and I love the changing selection. My tanks are thriving!

Awesome hidden gem. I live in Tacoma and had never been here. To my knowledge there isn't going to be anywhere with more inventory for fish and reptiles. I've driven up to the 'large' seattle stores or places in Olympia that I know to have an excellent selection for fish / reptiles. They don't even get close to what this place has.

If you're a beginner or an expert in aquariums, saltwater or freshwater, they have everything. Almost too much.

The staff here are all super knowledgeable and helpful. I'll be taking the 40 minute drive here every time for supplies. I genuinely don't know or care if there are any negative reviews of this place, they're wrong.

This place has stuff you can't find anywhere else. You can be doing low tech, high tech, they have more than enough.

I'm sort of stunned that this place exists and nobody has ever mentioned it to me. I can't say enough about how awesome this place is.

I got a betta 2 weeks ago. Haven’t had a fish since childhood, yes in a bowl too, yikes. This is my re-do. I researched, got my tank cycled, 5.5G, some plants (hope they will grow out more), hardscape, filter and heater with light. He seems happy so far. Follows my finger around, eats well, active swimmer and enjoys adding bubbles to his nest.

Nikki was helpful and friendly. I’m hoping to start another tank in the future and will revisit here as the store is clean, organized, and well stocked. The pictures left to right are him at the store (first pic with glass heater) then in his forever home.
