About
Seascape Aquatics has been part of the Colorado Springs fishkeeping community for well over a decade, and it remains one of the most carefully tended aquarium stores in the Springs. Its reputation rests on two things customers mention again and again: spotlessly clean tanks and unusually healthy livestock. Reviewers describe Seascape as the most detail-oriented shop in town, where every tank is immaculate and the fish look to be in peak condition — a sharp contrast to the mass die-offs people report after buying big-box stock.
For freshwater hobbyists, this is a go-to source for healthy tropical fish and thriving live plants. Recent visitors have brought home schools of schwartzi Corydoras that all settled in well, vibrant Scarlet Badis, and bettas that arrive in great shape, housed in roomy tanks rather than cramped cups. Live aquarium plants are affordable and consistently healthy, and shrimp and other invertebrates round out the planted-tank options.
If you are hunting for corydoras, bettas, or freshwater plants for sale in Colorado Springs, CO, this is a reliable stop. Saltwater keepers are served well too, with a solid selection of marine fish and corals that earns repeat praise. Several shoppers note prices that match or beat online retailers, making it easy to stock a tank without overpaying.
The owners, an older husband-and-wife team, are deeply knowledgeable and, by many accounts, kind and patient teachers who happily explain what it takes to keep an aquarium thriving. Their style is direct and no-nonsense; some shoppers read it as gruff, while longtime regulars value the honest, welfare-first guidance and say they always leave having learned something. Either way, the care put into the animal husbandry speaks for itself.
For anyone in Colorado Springs who wants genuinely healthy fish, clean corals, and lush plants from a fish store that puts its livestock first, Seascape Aquatics is worth the visit.

Customer reviews
“***WARNING!!! ***These people are selling sick fish that will crash your tank!!! As if that wasn't bad enough, they gave completely WRONG and WAY outdated information on running my aquarium, and were condescending and rude about it! I'm guessing this is why their fish are sick. Do yourself and your little fishy friends a solid and find somewhere else to shop.”
— Amie Gressett1.0a week ago“Nice store and great selection on saltwater fish.”
— Brandon B5.02 weeks ago“My husband and I have been shopping at this fish store since 2020. We always find exactly what we are looking for and leave learning new things. The owners of this store are kind and patient and have always been willing to teach you what you need to know to be successful. Whenever we shop here I feel that it is money well spent and reasonably priced.”
— Krysta Kaye5.03 weeks ago“Little on the pricey side but worth it for the quality. Customer service was poor and mentioned on here several times. Have to say I had the same experience as everyone else. Rude condescending owners. Wouldn’t help me or answer questions about plants, instead pushed me to just buy both and making rude remarks under his breath. Didn’t feel like I could walk around and shop with him staring me down from register in the silent store. Someone else recommended a place in Denver and I feel far more inclined to make the drive to have someone help me answer my questions.”
— Evan Iverson1.03 weeks ago“The staff was super helpful in explaining everything we needed in order to maintain a healthy aquarium. We will definitely be back.”
— Brian Dillo5.0a month ago“Older women at the counter/working the store is rude! No clue on customer service!”

— Doreen Amato5.0a month ago“Great help! Great selection!”
— Sarah Copeland5.0a month ago“The Owners were really nice and they have a good variety section of fish in good conditions. The staff even informs you about the fish before you get them. The lady is very helpful on choosing the right conditions for your fish and even recommends some. Would recommend”
— Aydin Michael5.0a month ago“Clean well stocked store. Great prices. It's well worth driving though all the parking lots.”
