Aquatica Tinley Park

Nice clean place will be back again nice selection!

Ever since Snaggletooth Goby bought Aquatica and switched owners it's been on a steady decline. After my visit today it will also be my last visit. The tanks were dirty, including the plant tank near the front of the store and the saltwater tanks, and many of the fish didn't look in the best health. As well as prices for the livestock being way higher than others in the area. They also now only have one small tank for coral frags, seeming to focus more on the freshwater side of things. For the duration of my about 20 minute visit not a single employee acknowledged me. Seeing the condition of their tanks in the store are I wouldn't take any advice they have, because it seems they don't know what they're doing. It's clear the new owner and employees don't have a passion for the hobby.

This use to be the best fish store around. I’ve been coming to Aquatica for 13 years and something has happened because it’s simply not the same. Most of the fish are sick and scratching themselves against rocks, the corals look terrible, half the store is freshwater now which wouldn’t be a bad thing if the plant display wasn’t cloudy. Use to be a great store sad to see what it’s become, will not be coming back.

Very clean place with lots of freshwater and saltwater fish. The staff is very friendly and will answer any questions you have.

One of the few dedicated to the hobby. Great selection of fish, coral, tanks and equipment.

I had a fantastic experience ordering from Joe’s store. The delivery was right on time, and everything arrived exactly as described. Joe was responsive, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. Definitely go back, he has lots of section of African Cichlids.

We had an amazing experience at Aquatica Tinley Park! Joe, the owner, was extremely polite, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to help us choose the perfect 120-gallon tank and made sure we understood everything we needed to get started. The store is very clean and well-organized, with a great selection of tanks, fish, and supplies. You can tell Joe truly cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Whether you're new to aquariums or an experienced hobbyist, we highly recommend checking out Aquatica Tinley Park. Thanks again, Joe.

Super Super Friendly Staff! Luke, & Joe, aim to please. These folks need to open up a 2nd store in Valparaiso :) Purchased a Black Capped Basslet from them a few weeks ago. "Katrina" is healthy and doing wonderful. Aquatica has my highest recommendation.

Great customer service! I came in about 5 minutes to close to get a few plants before traveling back home to indy. They were more than happy to help and they also had really good prices on plants! The man even said they were low on plant stock, but I still found plenty of options that are hard to find in indy. I didn’t have too much time to look at the fish, however they all looked very well taken care of from what i could see. The man who helped me even showed me some of their established aquariums and pointed out what the plants i bought will look like when they start growing. It was so nice to feel like I was having a genuine connection and not just a business transaction. Even though I was in a few minutes past closing, i didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed my conversation with the employee. You can tell the employees/owner care about their work. When I am visiting family in the area, I will definitely be stopping in with more time to explore the whole shop!

Is not the same ever since Mario left. Now is okay I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️
