Aquatic Treasures

Aquatic Treasures in Las Vegas has built a devoted following as the city's go-to saltwater livestock destination, and it's easy to see why. Walk through the door and you're greeted by rows of pristine tanks packed with vibrant corals, gobies, blennies, clownfish, invertebrates — crabs, snails, starfish — and more. One visiting Texan called their goby and blenny selection the best he'd ever seen, and he wasn't exaggerating.

The store also carries freshwater stock and live plants like hornwort, but saltwater reef life is clearly the beating heart of this operation. The family-owned shop runs lean on square footage but deep on expertise. Staff members like Sunny, Aiden, Luis, Mitch, Jackie, and Elyse come up again and again in reviews — not as generic nice people, but as genuinely knowledgeable aquarists who walk customers through tank cycling, water chemistry, and livestock compatibility with patience and real enthusiasm.

Sunny once stayed past closing to help a customer pick up a pair of storm clownfish. " That kind of personal investment is rare. Pricing is a consistent draw.

Multiple reviewers note that Aquatic Treasures undercuts other Las Vegas stores on livestock while running frequent deals via text alerts — though popular items sell out fast, so acting quickly pays off. They also offer custom fish orders, delivering specific species and color morphs on request, and ship fish to out-of-state customers. RO water is available on-site, though one reviewer reported inconsistency there.

Beyond livestock, the store stocks a solid range of equipment — pumps, filters, tanks, and accessories — along with supplies for both saltwater and freshwater setups. The tanks are consistently described as clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere feels more like a mini aquarium than a retail shop. For anyone building or maintaining a reef tank in the Las Vegas area, this is the store that local reefers trust.
