Aquarium- Tropical Fish & Supply, Inc

Aquarium- Tropical Fish & Supply has been a fixture in Edmond, Oklahoma for roughly 30 years, and the loyalty it inspires is palpable in review after review. This family-owned shop stocks both freshwater and saltwater fish alongside corals, live plants, and a rotating inventory that keeps regulars coming back to see what's new. One detail that stands out immediately: no bettas in cups.

It's a small thing that signals a larger philosophy — this store genuinely prioritizes the health and welfare of its animals. The quarantine process here is a major draw. New arrivals are held back until they're healthy and ready, and the staff won't sell you a fish they're not confident about.

One customer described putting a sunset gourami on hold while it finished quarantine, then taking home a thriving fish. Peacock cichlids, including striking albino morphs, catfish, rasboras, and snails are among the species reviewers have purchased, with some fish surviving five-plus years in home tanks — a testament to the stock quality. The staff — Bailey, Liege Ann, Steve, and the owner — earn consistent praise for patience and depth of knowledge.

They'll walk a returning hobbyist through a refresher on acclimation, help a family pick community-compatible species over the phone, or special-order a specific fish you've been searching for. Multiple reviewers describe driving from OKC and Piedmont specifically because the expertise and care here outpace anything closer to home. The live plant selection is notably healthier and more varied than what you'd find at big-box pet stores, and the shop carries a full range of saltwater and freshwater tank accessories, equipment, and supplies.

The coral selection draws saltwater hobbyists, while the rare freshwater morphs attract collectors who struggle to find unusual species in-person across Oklahoma. It's a compact, well-organized shop where even casual browsing feels rewarding — rows of clean, well-maintained tanks that reflect three decades of dedicated fishkeeping.
