Tucked away in Casselberry, Florida, Ocean Blue Aquarium has built a devoted following among Orlando-area fishkeepers who prize healthy livestock and uncommon variety. Owner Vin, who's been in the hobby for decades, imports directly from China and Vietnam — and the results speak for themselves. The Chinese goldfish are big, beautiful, and robust, while the freshwater selection rotates constantly with species you simply won't find at chain stores.
One customer's red dragon guppies, purchased here two years ago, produced offspring that took second place at the ALA show in Tampa — a testament to the breeding quality Vin sources. The freshwater side is staggering in its breadth: discus, rare tetras, gorgeous bettas, rosy and odessa barbs, cherry barbs, otocinclus, corydoras, hillstream loaches, and multiple pleco species. Freshwater and saltwater shrimp round out the invertebrate offerings.
The saltwater section carries a solid and interesting coral selection alongside reef fish, including rare specimens that are hard to track down elsewhere. Aquatic plants get proper attention here too. Customers report thriving hornwort, tiger lilies, and Anubias purchased from the shop, and even koi keepers come in for quality pond plants.
Every tank in the store is kept spotlessly clean — a detail reviewers mention repeatedly, and one that reflects Vin's meticulous approach to fish health and conditioning. The atmosphere is personal and unhurried. Vin takes time with every customer, sharing his deep knowledge about species care, compatibility, and tank setup.
Multiple long-time hobbyists with 20+ years of experience call this their go-to shop, which says something about the consistency of livestock quality. Pricing is competitive, especially given the caliber of fish on offer. If you're keeping freshwater or saltwater tanks in the greater Orlando area, Ocean Blue Aquarium delivers the kind of curated, import-quality selection and genuine expertise that makes the drive to Casselberry worthwhile.

Been going here for a few years now. Love this place. Super clean. Owner really nice. And the selection is by far the best anywhere around. Don’t hold back buying from here. The selection varies all the time. Salt and fresh water fish and aquatics are of premium selection not found around. Will keep coming back to see new offers available

Beautifully maintained freshwater and saltwater store with a great variety of corals, aquatic plants, and healthy fish. The tanks are extremely clean, and the owner is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Our aquarium is thriving with hornwort, tiger lilies, Anubias, and more—and our fish, including our hillstream loach, are doing wonderful. Excellent shop and great experience.
