About
Las Vegas Exotic Fish has built a loyal local following as one of the standout freshwater shops in the valley, and the shrimp wall is what people drive across town for. Reviewers call it the best spot in town for "shrimpies," with the biggest range of neocaridina colors and fair prices that keep colony-builders coming back for more orange, blue, and mixed strains. If you're hunting quality shrimp for sale in Las Vegas, NV, this is the store regulars name first — one customer started a 28-shrimp colony here and kept returning to complete it.
The selection runs far deeper than inverts, though. Recent visitors describe everything from nano fish to genuine "monsters," including hard-to-find gars, African cichlids and peacocks, plecos, discus, and lush planted-tank plants and substrate. A saltwater section rounds things out, so the shop works as a full aquarium store as well as a freshwater specialist.
Tanks are clean, the livestock looks healthy, and more than one reviewer praised the "pristine vibes" of the place. What earns the most repeat praise is the staff. " Shane and a friendly newer crew, including a recently hired family of Hawaiian staffers, help with everything from plant pairings to stocking questions.
A freezer full of Hikari food and Fluval gear cover the dry-goods basics. There are fun local touches, too: Wednesday spin-the-wheel discounts and a cash discount that frequent shoppers appreciate. Livestock pricing can vary day to day, so it's worth confirming a deal at the counter.
For shrimp keepers, planted-tank builders, and anyone after uncommon species available in Las Vegas, NV, this neighborhood fish store rewards an in-person visit.

“Probably the best fish store Ive been in. It's a little understaffed but honestly that's understandable. Their prices are amazing, the fish are awesome, wide selection.”
— KODY T5.02 weeks ago“to Jihart Bladhest I think I know why your fish have died The first way you did you not let your fish get used to the water before you put them in. Second, you do not feed your fish every night.”
