Artistic Oceans has carved out a reputation as one of the go-to aquarium stores in Las Vegas, particularly for saltwater enthusiasts looking to build or stock a reef tank. The store's coral selection draws frequent praise — reviewers describe vibrant, healthy specimens across a range of varieties, though a few sharp-eyed hobbyists have noted occasional algae issues on pricier pieces. The saltwater fish inventory is consistently highlighted as one of the best in Vegas, and they also carry freshwater fish, live plants, and a solid lineup of equipment and accessories.
What sets Artistic Oceans apart is its staff's willingness to invest real time with customers. Adrian is a name that comes up repeatedly — customers describe him as genuinely knowledgeable and patient, someone who answers questions thoroughly without rushing. Allen earned specific praise for walking a couple through the entire process of setting up their first saltwater tank, from planning to execution.
Dave impressed a self-described newbie by treating the conversation as an exchange of ideas rather than a lecture. Eric and Jared have also been called out for their willingness to troubleshoot tank issues on the spot. The store sells RO water, a convenience for reef keepers in the desert, though at least one experienced reefer flagged inconsistent TDS readings — a reminder to always test.
The physical space is clean and well-organized, with tanks that most visitors describe as well-maintained. Pricing across fish, corals, and dry goods lands in the fair-to-reasonable range by Las Vegas standards. Artistic Oceans clearly leans into the saltwater and reef side of the hobby, making it a natural home base for Vegas reefers building anything from a first nano tank to a full-blown SPS-dominant system.
The consultation-style approach — staff genuinely walking you through setup plans and livestock compatibility — is what keeps people driving back across town. For a city with limited specialty aquarium shops, this store fills a real gap.

Super last minute trip here and Adrian took care of us. Super knowledgeable and polite. As for the shop, I felt like they pretty much have everything you’d want from fresh water to salt water. Fish, coral, plants, etc.

This is 2 stars review cause your RO water going up like crazy 177 tds instead of 20 like I usually get. You should better check water quality more often. I end up not using anywater in the 4 jugs I purchased sps and corals could be died with this kind of water. You now getting 1 star review yes I have 3 different tds readers, been in the hobby for more than 10 years yes they all calibrated and water from different lfs show different reading, anything else for you to excuse? I thought this place should be a good place for me to visit since there are not a lot of options here in vegas come on you should be in hobby before you started this business and lying to your own customers lol now I know all the bad reviews are true cause you’re such a lair. Rereading this carefully your RO water going up like crazy 177 tds instead of 20 like I usually get. your water use to be good but come on man I don’t blame you to make a bit mistake sometimes but lying to customers will never deserve anymore support from the reefers.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hands down the BEST fish shop experience I’ve ever had! Artistic Ocean blew me away from the moment I walked in. The customer service was absolutely top tier — every single person there was beyond friendly, helpful, and passionate about what they do. You can tell they truly care about their animals and their customers. The selection? Insane. So many healthy, vibrant fish and corals — it felt like walking into an underwater gallery. And the prices? Super fair, especially for the quality you’re getting. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned reefer, this is the kind of place that makes you feel excited, supported, and part of something special. I’ll 100% be back, and I seriously recommend this place to anyone looking to upgrade their reef or just get inspired. Thank you to the whole crew at Artistic Ocean — you made my day, my tank, and probably my year 🙌🐠🔥

They always have a lot of dead fish in their aquariums. They don’t even take the time to get rid of them. They have horrible customer service. The little guy with a short man’s complex lost our business forever because he doesn’t know how to talk to people. It’s sad because the owner treats people great, he just hires poorly. If you need some food and supplies, it’s not a bad place but I’ve had multiple fish die had the little guy try not to warranty them even after they checked my water with good results. Response to the response: Replacing hundreds of fish over the years proves my point. Your fish are sick, you sell sick fish that end up killing other fish in peoples aquariums. The last time I was in your store, there were 7 dead fish in the aquariums. You take no responsibility and your employee is rude, that is why I posted the comments about him.
