About
In a quiet spot on Barl Court in Dover, Delaware, Aquatics Super Store — known to locals as Super Cichlids & More — is a veteran-owned, freshwater fish store that draws hobbyists from across the Eastern Shore. Owner Lisa is an ichthyologist by training, and she and her husband maintain roughly 100 immaculate display tanks, so the livestock you see for sale in Dover is healthy, well-fed, and quarantined before it ever reaches the sales floor. Cichlids are the headline act.
If you've been searching for African cichlids, OB Peacocks, or discus for sale near me, this is one of the most serious freshwater shops in Delaware, with an in-house cichlid breeding program backing up the selection. Beyond the cichlids, the racks rotate through neon tetras, Columbian red-tailed tetras, Dalmatian mollies and other livebearers, rainbowfish, goldfish, and healthy freshwater invertebrates — a genuine community-fish selection available right here in Dover, DE. Planted-tank keepers come here too.
The store carries robust live aquarium plants with strong roots and vivid color, plus natural driftwood, eucalyptus roots, and aquascaping rocks for hardscaping. Round that out with quality fish food, tank supplements, dry goods, and a solid range of aquarium equipment, and it works as a one-stop aquarium store for Dover-area fishkeepers. 9-star rating from 100 reviews — is the guidance.
Staff like Chris, Sarah, and Tyler answer questions patiently, walk beginners through stocking and plant care, and never push unnecessary products. Services include water testing, tank setup, consultations, and that all-important quarantine protocol for incoming fish. Prices run a touch above the big-box chains, but the healthy fish and expert advice are exactly why people happily drive an hour or more to shop this Dover fish store.

— Sheila Frank5.03 months ago“Great collection for cichlid and puffer. well organized tank.”
— Yuan Tony5.03 months ago“I walked in here for the first time and was blown away by how clean the tanks were. The selection was amazing and it was nice seeing lively fish in a store. And the staff was more than helpful, answering my questions. I’ve been around this hobby for 40 years, grew up with it, and have tried to pass it along to my children. Fintopia reminds me of the pet store I used to go to as a kid, the kind where you can tell the staff cares about the fish. I will be bringing all my future fish keeping business here.”
— Leslie Welch5.03 months ago“The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable! Will definitely be returning”
— Emily Elenbaas5.03 months ago“They seem to have a great selection of quality fish but its hard to get the staff's attention. I ended up dropping $800 at Petsmart for a new tank, filter, heater, substrate because nobody in here had time for me”
