About
In a state where dedicated fish stores are genuinely hard to find, K T Animal Supply has become the shop Bismarck aquarists drive out of their way for. Now settled into a bright, roomy new building, this locally owned store pairs a well-stocked freshwater section with the kind of patient, knowledgeable help that big-box chains rarely match. The livestock is the draw.
Reviewers consistently call out how healthy the fish are — one customer bought a single fish months ago "to see how it would do," and it's still thriving. Tropical fish and freshwater shrimp for sale in Bismarck, ND fill the tanks, and the planted-tank selection is a standout: a nano-tank hobbyist passing through North Dakota was thrilled to find plant species she'd never seen elsewhere, every one of them correctly labeled. If you're after a specific betta — a shopper who came in for a mustard gas betta was set up start to finish, tank, supplies, and guidance — the staff take the time to match you with the right fish and gear.
Staff names come up again and again. Ethyn and Jess know their livestock cold, and Jess in particular will offer to track down a species you're after and bring it into the shop; if K T doesn't already stock something, regulars say they'll source it in, usually within a week. That willingness to spend real time on care advice rather than rush a sale is exactly why customers keep coming back.
Beyond the aquarium aisle, K T carries a deep range of tanks, filters, foods, and water treatments, plus pricing that turns first-timers into regulars — one shopper walked out with three fish, three plants, two air pumps, two filters, tubing, and water treatment for around a hundred dollars. For healthy freshwater fish, live plants, and shrimp available in Bismarck, ND, this is the local fish store worth the trip, and every dollar spent stays in the community.

Customer reviews
“Ethyn and Jess are great. They helped with the fish. Very impressed with how healthy their fish are. I got a single fish there months ago to see how it would do and it's thriving. Jess was very knowledge and offered to a search for fish we might want. Very clean and well organized place. We will be back!”

— Johanna Draper5.02 months ago“I’m so happy with the bunny I got from KT Pet Supplies! 🐇 He’s incredibly smart—already walks on his leash, is completely potty trained, and is amazing around the house. He even has a cage, but he prefers exploring like a little cat! Thank you for such a wonderful bunny—I can’t wait to get more from you!”
— Sarahmarie Mehmood5.02 months ago“I got Maf back in December as a Christmas gift to myself. I had originally spotted the mini lion heads and fell in love and asked them to hold them. I had seen Maf there, too and he had been there for a while. When I came back the next day, I brought Maf home instead. I have to say, this bunny is the sweetest, goofiest, loveable, sassiest little bun. I love him dearly and I thank KT Pet supplies for basically putting him in my path. Their buns are top notch 🐰”

— Karla Holden5.0Edited 3 months ago“Helpful and friendly staff. They carry a great variety for all animal supplies. If they don't carry it, they will order it in which takes a week at most.”
— Sin5.03 months ago“I happened to see KT while driving by and decided to stop in. I originally went in just to look for a dog bed, but I ended up leaving with bones, food, a coat, snacks, a sweater, and toys. I love that they carry their own brands and even make their own treats. The prices were fantastic, and I couldn’t be happier with what I found. Other pet stores can take notes. I’m officially a lifetime customer and will definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know.”
