About
Animal Attraction has spent years building a devoted following among Northern Colorado aquarists, and a steady run of recent reviews shows why this Greeley shop keeps people coming back. Though the space is on the smaller side, it is packed wall to wall with tanks, and customers describe walking through it like a guided tour at an aquarium, with staff who genuinely know their livestock. The aquatic department is the heart of the store.
Reviewers stock entire community tanks here: one regular recently filled a tank with a betta, six cardinal tetras, six rasboras, and a pair of plecos, all bought in-store. Another walked out with about fifteen freshwater fish for a fresh 55-gallon setup after the team helped her plan compatible tankmates. If you are searching for cardinal tetras, bettas, or corydoras catfish for sale in Greeley, CO, this is the local aquarium store hobbyists point to first.
The marine side runs deep too, with saltwater fish, invertebrates, and corals for reef keepers, while pond owners come in for large, healthy koi available in Greeley, CO. The shop also keeps a wait list for axolotls, which tend to sell out quickly when they arrive. Across both new and longtime visits, the same praise repeats: healthy, well-kept fish and a staff, including familiar faces like Jason, Caleb, and Aaron, who take real time with customers.
People mention being walked through water issues, getting honest advice as new hobbyists without being made to feel silly, and learning something new from the owners, who are often on the floor themselves. Beyond fish, Animal Attraction doubles as a full exotic-pet destination, with reptiles, bearded dragons, and small animals alongside a solid lineup of aquariums, glass tanks, and dry goods praised for their quality. Prices run a touch higher than the big-box chains, and a few visitors note it plainly, but most regulars feel the healthy stock and hands-on expertise more than justify it.
For anyone hunting a knowledgeable fish store near me in Greeley, it is the area's go-to.

Customer reviews
“The staff there is so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly! I have sitting in my tank 1 betta, 6 cardinal tetras, 6 rasboras, and 2 plecos, all purchased from animal attraction! I will continue to be a customer there!”
— Laura Chavez5.0a week ago“Great store perfect for all your exotic animals needs! Also very kind and knowledgeable staff 10/10 will be going back for all my pet needs :).”
— Akeel Alhag5.0a week ago“Large selection and a fun store. Just everytime I go in the staff is very blah...not particularly helpful or kind. They always seem extra upset if I have any children with me. Which I get in one way because kids can be disruptive. Yet I always feel like they are extra weird about it. They follow us around the store watching us but don't say anything...it's super weird behavior.”
