About
Animal Attraction in Greeley, Colorado has quietly built a loyal following among aquatic hobbyists across Northern Colorado. 5 rating, this pet store punches above its weight despite operating in what customers describe as a smaller space — filling it with an impressive range of freshwater, saltwater, and pond life. The aquatic department is clearly the heart of the operation.
Tanks line the walls with both marine fish and freshwater species, and the store stocks invertebrates and corals for reef enthusiasts alongside staples like corydoras catfish and large koi for pond owners. One reviewer shared their delight at picking up koi for their backyard pond, while another praised the quality after adding six corys to their community tank. The store has also cultivated a reputation for axolotls, maintaining wait lists for these sought-after amphibians — though some customers have experienced frustrating communication gaps around availability.
Beyond fish, Animal Attraction doubles as a full-service exotic pet destination. Reptiles, hedgehogs, and rabbits are on display, and the staff — including regulars like Jason and Caleb — are known for taking time with customers, whether that means letting visitors handle animals or troubleshooting an aquarium water crisis. Multiple reviewers single out the team's willingness to answer questions without judgment, noting years-long relationships built on trust.
The store carries a solid lineup of aquariums and glass tanks that customers praise for quality relative to price. Supplies for fish, reptiles, and other exotics round out the inventory. The owners are frequently on the floor themselves, which speaks to the hands-on culture that defines the shop.
Pricing runs on the higher side — several reviewers note this plainly — but most feel it's justified by healthy animals and genuine expertise. For Greeley aquarists who want a local shop that actually knows the difference between a parameter spike and a cycle crash, Animal Attraction delivers.
