Freshwater Fish

Healthy Fish Start With the Right Sources

Rest assured, we work with trusted breeders and suppliers when sourcing the freshwater fish we sell. Our team also pays careful attention to the health, behavior, and personalities of the animals we sell.

Choosing a fish doesn’t just involve finding one that looks pretty. Different species have different requirements when it comes to water conditions, tank size, diet, environment, and tankmates. Our staff can tell you about the fish you’re considering and help you determine whether it belongs in your aquarium.

Not Just Fish: Build Your Entire Freshwater Aquarium Here

A beautiful, healthy freshwater aquarium starts long before you add in the fish. We carry everything you need to build, customize, and maintain your freshwater setup, including:

• Freshwater aquariums
• Filters and filtration supplies
• Heaters and lighting
• Gravel and substrate
• Rock and natural wood
• Live plants
• Décor and hiding places
• Fish food and live feeders
• Water conditioners and maintenance supplies
• Aquarium water

We sell prepared aquarium water, so you can get the water you need along with your fish and supplies rather than having to manage everything yourself at home.

Need Help With Aquascaping? Just Ask

Aquascaping makes your aquarium look impressive, to be sure. But it also ensures your fresh fish are living their best lives. Let us advise you on the placement of rocks, wood, plants, caves, and other features so your fish have places to hide, establish territories, and explore freely.

Not sure where to start? We’ll help you design your aquarium and aquascape at no additional charge when you shop with us. We’ll walk you through tank size, substrate, rock and wood placement, live plants, hiding areas, equipment, and fish selection so everything comes together nicely.

We’ll Even Bring the Aquarium to You

Want a freshwater aquarium without hassling with the entire setup yourself?

Moby Dick Pet Store offers professional in-home aquarium setup and installation. Not only can we help you choose the best location and equipment, we can deliver and set up your aquarium. Plus, we offer ongoing aquarium services, including cleaning and maintenance, aquarium moves, and water delivery.

Why Are Aquariums So Popular in Homes and Businesses?

There’s a reason you frequently see aquariums in doctors’ offices, dental offices, nursing homes, waiting rooms, restaurants, and other public spaces. It can be calming and hypnotic to watch colorful fish glide through the water, bringing a peaceful focal point to an otherwise chaotic environment.

Your home aquarium can offer:

• A relaxing, soothing atmosphere
• A beautiful visual focal point
• Entertainment
• An engaging hobby
• An educational opportunity to learn about aquatic life and responsible animal care
• A living feature that constantly changes

More than just another piece of home décor, an aquarium is a miniature ecosystem, and building and maintaining one can become just as rewarding as watching it.

More Than 40 Years of Freshwater Experience

Moby Dick Pet Store has been independently owned and serving local hobbyists for more than 40 years, with only two owners during that time.

Our employees are hobbyists themselves. They’re patient and knowledgeable, and genuinely want to educate customers. If we don’t immediately know the answer to a question, we’ll do the research and let you know.

We also get to know the animals in our care. We aren’t here just to sell you a fish, we’re here to help match that fish with an appropriate home where it can thrive.

Can’t Find the Freshwater Fish You’re Looking For?

Our inventory changes regularly, which is part of what makes visiting Moby Dick Pet Store so fun. We consistently bring in interesting freshwater fish, and you never know what you might find here.

If you don’t see a particular species or variety here, just ask us. We can often special order fish and other aquarium products through our trusted network of suppliers.

At the end of the day, it’s important to remember that owning fish should be a hobby, not a hassle. We take the guesswork out of every step so you can just have fun and enjoy your aquarium!
