About
Aquarium Services Inc. in Willoughby, Ohio isn't your typical fish store — it's a one-man operation built on decades of trust. Owner Joe Preskar has been cleaning and maintaining freshwater aquariums across Northeast Ohio for over 25 years, serving homes, medical practices, automotive shops, nonprofits, and offices with a consistency that's rare in any industry.
The business model is straightforward: Joe comes to your location, cleans your tank, swaps out live plants to keep the display looking fresh, and ensures the health of your fish. Clients like Spartan Automotive and the Kiddie City child care center speak to the range of environments he services — from professional lobbies where clients admire the tank to a nonprofit where children find calm watching the fish. One long-term customer noted that Joe has maintained their aquarium for over 20 years, while another medical practice has relied on him for five years, praising his reasonable pricing and helpful suggestions.
What stands out across nearly every review is Joe's reliability. Words like "prompt," "dependable," and "professional" come up repeatedly. He's clearly someone who takes pride in making aquariums look spectacular, and several customers mention that their fish — and even turtles — seem happier after his visits.
He also appears to offer consultation on tank setup and care, guiding clients on what works best for their specific environment. There is one notably critical review citing rushed work and incomplete cleaning, a reminder that expectations should be communicated clearly. 9 rating across 28 reviews and relationships spanning decades, that experience appears to be an outlier.
For anyone in the Willoughby area looking for dependable freshwater aquarium maintenance — particularly for an office, waiting room, or home tank — Aquarium Services Inc. offers the kind of long-term, personal care that large companies simply can't replicate. Joe knows his clients' tanks by heart, and it shows.

— Susan E Mandel5.07 months ago“Quick to come clean tank, said morning but came in the afternoon. A little aggressive with tank cleaning, maybe rushed?…tank was extra dirty… Not what I expected for price….I had to go in after him and move plants, gravel and bubblers around…and clean filter and lid…. Thank you Joe, for your efforts, however I won’t be using your services again.”
