Tucked into North Miami Beach, Reef Lounge Miami is a one-man operation driven by pure passion for the hobby. The owner — who multiple reviewers describe as patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive — runs the entire shop himself, and the care shows in the health of his livestock. One eight-year industry veteran who stumbled upon the store noted that not a single dead or sick fish was visible on his visit, calling the selection of monster fish "outstanding" and vowing to make the trip weekly despite the distance.
The store stocks both freshwater and saltwater fish alongside a solid coral selection and supplies. Prices come up again and again in reviews as a major draw — customers driving three hours or more load up on livestock because the quality-to-price ratio is hard to beat in South Florida. Goldfish, community tank species, and larger predatory fish all share shelf space, giving the shop a broader range than its modest footprint might suggest.
Reef Lounge also ships fish, a detail that sets it apart from many local competitors. One customer who ordered two goldfish praised the quick shipping and responsive customer service; when a bag leaked in transit and a fish was lost, the team credited them immediately with a gift card and handled the replacement seamlessly. That level of accountability speaks to the store's professionalism despite its small-scale operation.
The bilingual community around North Miami Beach clearly appreciates what the owner has built here — Spanish-language reviews are just as enthusiastic, highlighting the variety of freshwater and saltwater species and the owner's patience with questions. Whether you're building a community tank or hunting for statement pieces, the personal attention you get at Reef Lounge is the kind that big-box pet retailers simply cannot replicate. Just be aware that a couple of visitors have noted a strong smell inside, so sensitive noses may want a heads-up.
But for fish quality, fair pricing, and real expertise, this shop punches well above its size.

Been in the aquarium industry for eight years Went to this aquarium store by accident due to distance away from where I live, but now we’ll make the trip at least once a week after going in today the selection of monster Fish is outstanding And the care and health of all the fish is amazing. I was his first customer of the day and not one dead fish or any sick fish. It’s a one-man show full of passion. Would highly recommend going.
