About
Trinh Fish & Corals is a family-run saltwater aquarium store in Bowling Green, KY, owned and operated by Leon and Mrs. Huong — the kind of place reef keepers have leaned on as their local experts since longtime customers first got into the hobby back in 2020. Walk in and the centerpiece is hard to miss: a huge display tank and a resident shark pool that regulars happily admit they could watch all day.
The shop is laid out so the livestock takes center stage, and the selection of healthy marine fish, corals, and invertebrates is repeatedly called one of the best around. For saltwater hobbyists, the variety runs deep. You can find tangs for sale in Bowling Green, KY — blue tangs, maculiceps tangs, and powder blue tangs among them — alongside lyretail anthias, tank-raised diamond gobies, pink 3-spot wrasses, and showpiece angelfish like the regal angel one happy customer took home.
Clownfish and hermit crabs are favorites for newcomers setting up their first reef tank, while the gray bamboo sharks that share the store's pool give the place a personality all its own. Corals and inverts are stocked right alongside the fish, and if something isn't on hand, the Trinhs are known for tracking it down for you. What keeps people coming back is the family behind the counter.
Leon is famously patient — he'll get your kids involved in picking out fish and never pressures you toward a purchase you aren't ready for. Both he and Mrs. Huong share advice freely on acclimation, quarantine, and tank compatibility, and they've walked plenty of first-timers through standing up a brand-new saltwater system.
Longtime locals note they've sourced freshwater fish here too, so there's something for tanks of every kind. Prices land fair and competitive, and the family stands behind the quality of their livestock. For anyone in southern Kentucky building a reef, Trinh Fish & Corals is genuinely worth the trip.

Customer reviews
“Very pleasant to deal with very healthy fish and corals love dealing with them will be my place of choice for saltwater fish and corals for the future I highly recommend”
— Kevin Ward Jr5.03 days ago“Inquired if they had any clown triggers in stock in the size range I wanted about a week ago. Received a message on 6/22 that one was coming in the size range i wanted. I said I was interested in buying it and to send a pic once it arrived. I talked about shipping and where it was going too. patiently waiting today 6/23 and decide to message late in the afternoon to find out if it arrived only to hear that they sold it. Not very professional. I am new customer who does purchase alot of saltwater fish. I thought I was going to have a great buying experience and purchase many more fish. Well doesn't look like that now. Be careful when you deal with them. they now blocked me because of their error. Dont deal with them.”
