Aquarium Adventure Columbus

If you're new to the hobby, this is a great place to get started. They offer a wide variety of aquarium supplies and healthy fish. I highly recommend skipping traditional pet stores. If you have small kids, they will enjoy feeding the koi fish (don't forget your quarters).

Amazing one stop shop for all your aquarium needs. Great deals always going on throughout the store. Top tier selection of freshwater and saltwater fish. Staff are very friendly, informative and quick to help you out when ready. Highly recommend

Friendly and very knowledgeable staff with an excellent selection. Being a fish club member has its perks so check it out and save with your first purchase. Found them to be the best aquarium store for us in central and north central Ohio. We drive over an hour to get there and find it well worth it.

Overpriced on literally everything (driftwood, heaters, rocks, silicone, decorations….literally everything I saw). There was an also a surprising lack of rimless aquariums. The few rimless options they had were small and overpriced. Most importantly, the fish don’t appear to be especially well cared for, especially the betta fish. The bettas were/are kept in tiny glass bowls and packed in so tightly on the shelf they were all stressed and trying to fight with each other. When I went in I found a dying betta barely moving at this bottom of his bowl and asked to buy him. I was surprised they actually charged me but I paid for him anyway and, I believe, he died in the parking lot. The guy at check out was very kind and associates were ok, but it appeared overstaffed with late teen to early twenties males who, I assume, act exclusively as sales associates (or perhaps sales and loss prevention) because not much attention was being given to the fish themselves. To me the tanks didn’t appear overly clean, the aquarium plants didn’t appear that healthy, and like I said, the state of the betta fish was cruel. I’m not trying to be a jerk by leaving a crappy review but I do hope ownership will either discontinue selling bettas or VASTLY improve the conditions under which they (and the other fish) are sold. With so many employees working at any given time I hope more love and attention will be paid to the little lives in your care). (Pictures included: 1.) dying betta in the minuscule fish bowl at store. 2.) dead betta 30 minutes after purchase) EDIT: The owners response says a lot. No responsibility taken, no concern was shown. To clarify, the fish died in the parking lot, in the transfer bag within minutes. I transferred the poor thing to a cup when I was 100% sure it had passed. Actions speak louder than words. Everyone is free to go in and make their own assessment. It’s pretty easy to see the prices are high, the staffing is awkward, and the fish (especially bettas) aren’t super happy. I’m not out to hurt businesses. I have one myself. My assessment is fair and it stands at 1 star.

Our favorite aquarium store in Ohio. They have a koi pond where you can feed the fish and a touch pool for kids. They also have good prices and a great selection.
