About
Sin City Aquatics & Maintenance has carved out a devoted following in the Las Vegas aquarium scene, and the reasons become clear the moment you walk in. Owned and operated by Tina and Jason, this immaculately clean shop on the valley's aquatic map specializes heavily in saltwater livestock — corals, clownfish, blue hippo tangs, puffers, seahorses, stingrays, and even a shark have graced their tanks. But freshwater hobbyists aren't left out: peacock bass, axolotls, and breeding stock have all found homes through the store.
What sets Sin City Aquatics apart is the hands-on, deeply personal approach. Jason is known for spending 30 minutes or more walking customers through their setups, whether it's explaining how to properly install and maintain a Fluval 307 canister filter or custom-cutting tubing for a turtle tank right before closing time. When a customer needed an emergency saltwater setup for a surprise clownfish, the team provided cycled tank water and live rock to skip the cycling process entirely.
For first-time saltwater hobbyists, Tina and Jason have been known to build cardboard mock-ups of customers' tanks so they can plan their reef rock layouts before buying. The maintenance side of the business is equally impressive. 4 reef systems to Aquatop all-in-one tanks, and customers praise his ReefMat 500 installations and honest pricing — even when jobs run longer than expected, estimates hold firm.
Delivery service is available too, with careful handling reported on tanks as large as 120 gallons. The coral selection draws repeat visitors who describe the frags as healthy and beautifully displayed. Dry goods and equipment inventory continues to grow, with the owners actively surveying local hobbyists about preferred brands and products.
In a city full of aquarium options, Sin City Aquatics earns its weekly regulars through genuine care, competitive pricing, and the kind of expertise that turns a purchase into an education.

— Michelle5.0a month ago“I have been dealing with Sin City Aquatics almost exclusively for about 6 months now and I don't plan on changing that. I have been to all the fish stores in the valley and some are better than others but Sin City sets the standard. Their livestock selection has been awesome, their prices are great, and they haven't steered me wrong with any knowledge shared. Just had them deliver a 120 gallon tank to my home and they were very respectful of my home.”

— Cris Arias5.06 months ago“This is a smaller fish store. The tanks appear to be in good condition but they are the most expensive fish store in the valley. Double the price on most of their fish and corals.”
