About
Tucked into Richmond Hill, GA, Coastal Aquarium is a compact, owner-run aquarium store that consistently punches above its size. Marcy and her sister Tiffany keep the place stocked with both saltwater and freshwater livestock plus a well-tended coral selection, and the frag tank in particular pulls reef hobbyists from across the greater Savannah area — several regulars happily drive close to an hour just to shop here. On the freshwater side you'll find live plants, cherry shrimp, discus, angelfish, bettas, pictus catfish, corydoras, and even koi for sale in Richmond Hill, GA.
The bettas get proper glass holders rather than the sad plastic cups you see at big-box chains, and visitors repeatedly note how active and healthy everything looks across clean, carefully maintained tanks. One recent shopper described the saltwater and freshwater creatures as "very healthy and well kept," while another, stocking a newly cycled tank, praised the depth of plants and fish varieties on hand. The saltwater section is the real draw for reef keepers, with corals, reef supplies, and equipment available in Richmond Hill, GA — and if a specific fish or coral isn't on the shelf, Marcy is known for placing a special order.
What sets the shop apart is the hands-on guidance: the staff take genuine time walking first-time fishkeepers through tank setups, water chemistry, and fish health, and the store runs water testing for both fresh and salt water. A recent visitor summed up the vibe simply as "very helpful staff, class act," and the owner is happy to share care tips right there at the counter. The shop is honest about being on the smaller side, but the trade-off is a curated, well-cared-for inventory instead of crowded, neglected tanks, with prices reviewers describe as fair to excellent.
There's also a beloved resident store cat who greets visitors at the door. For aquarium hobbyists around Richmond Hill and Savannah, Coastal Aquarium offers the personalized service and healthy livestock that make a local fish store worth supporting.

— Jason El-Habre SavannahGaRealty. c o m5.0a month ago“Love it”
— Leo Merva5.02 months ago“Most of the staff are fantastic, but the owner will gaslight you lie to you and do anything but take accountability if it’s on the shelf and you want it that’s one thing but don’t expect them to do anything beyond what’s on the shelf. Definitely not the way to build a customer base and a small business”
