About
Aquaholic Aquariums LLC has built a devoted following among north Phoenix aquarists, and a single visit makes the loyalty easy to understand. This is a genuinely clean, well-organized aquarium store where saltwater and freshwater systems share the floor and every tank looks deliberately maintained. One recent visitor called the saltwater side "a saltwater wonderland," and it isn't hype: big, healthy fish and a steady rotation of coral frags fill the reef displays, drawing reefers from across the valley.
On the freshwater side you'll find live plants, mystery snails, and community fish, with bettas, tetras, and other livestock for sale in Phoenix, AZ at prices that reward shopping local. What sets Aquaholic apart is the depth of its team. Staff like Jackson, Kylee, Kelly, Josh, and Aiden each bring real expertise and patience to the floor.
" Kylee is the go-to for planted-tank advice, and Kelly has spent 20-plus minutes walking newcomers through water chemistry and even double-checking the alkalinity on a customer's new tank. These are guided, educational conversations, not scripted upsells. The dry goods section punches well above the store's footprint, with frozen foods, supplies, stands, and equipment that keep hobbyists from running to a big-box store.
Owner James and his crew also take on hands-on work, from full saltwater setups to transferring a 180-gallon rimless tank onto a new stand and ongoing tank maintenance. Reviewers consistently call it their favorite local fish store, returning for healthy livestock, honest guidance, and a shop that clearly respects the hobby. If you're hunting for corals, live plants, or your next betta near me in Phoenix, AZ, Aquaholic is the local shop that keeps the valley's aquarists coming back.

— Blake Adams5.0a month ago“My son is big into fish ,And we have been a long time customer we’ve tried this place Multiple times. every Fish we buy Dies and get our other Fish Diseases like ick and skin disease. The employees were flirting with customers and was not helping us at all. We are very disappointed, especially for the price of these fish.”
— Cindy Schmitt1.0a month ago“The place is neat and has huge collections. Unfortunately the pricing is higher comparatively. I just happened to buy few neon tetras today morning from this store(bill attached). I also wanted to buy few amano shrimps. Since they didn’t have them in stock I had to visit one other store close by where the pricing for the tetras were half of what I paid here (display price pic attached). I came back mentioning the concern but was outrightly dismissed stating they won’t be able to do anything about the same price difference. They may be right in their perspective but the price difference is huge to be just ignored. So if you are going local, visit couple of stores before you pick up your favorite fish. If you can’t better stick to PetSmart or Petco..”
