About
TK Aquatics has earned its place as the local fish store Tulsa hobbyists drive across the metro — and sometimes all the way from Wichita — to reach. Owner Tony runs the shop with a small, devoted crew, and regulars name them like friends: team members Deriona and Memphis put in hours of patient advice, walking newcomers through everything from cycling a first tank to caring for an inherited backyard patio pond. The space has a frank, warehouse feel that reviewers cheerfully admit, but that fades the moment you take in the tanks, where the fish are kept healthy, vibrant, and never overstocked for their species.
Freshwater is the heart of the operation. New livestock shipments land weekly, so no two visits look quite alike, and shoppers come specifically for celestial pearl danios, pearl gourami, dwarf rainbows, and amano shrimp for sale in Tulsa, OK. Pea-puffer keepers, betta lovers, and goldfish owners all find what they need, and the occasional surprise — cool aquatic frogs, or a hard-to-find species Tony will special-order on request — keeps people coming back.
Saltwater inhabitants and supplies round out an aquarium store that genuinely covers fresh, salt, and pond. The live plant selection is a standout draw. Customers report plants that root cleanly and outlast anything the big-box chains carry, stocked alongside driftwood, sand, substrates, and the additives and fish food a planted tank needs.
Koi and pond keepers are well served too, indoors and out. What sets TK apart is the care behind the glass. Sick fish get quarantined rather than sold — a practice locals specifically trust here over other shops in town.
The staff test water, talk through problems without pushing a sale, and once set aside the last bottle of goldfish medication for a customer who needed it. Prices stay competitive, special orders get a friendly text when they come in for pickup, and the guidance is the real thing. For Tulsa fishkeepers, TK Aquatics has simply become the default.

— Jeremiah Walker5.03 weeks ago“We love TK! It has been our 1st go to when we need plants and fish! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! It has been the best experience everytime we go!”
— April Champ5.0a month ago“I rarely do any type of review, but TK deserves it. I originally came into this shop as a fresh wide-eyed Tulsan with no earthly idea what I was getting myself into. I moved into a home with a little patio pond, and I wanted to talk to people who knew a lot about fish so I could make sure I took care of the pond and the fish that I inherited. The first person I got to interact with was Tony and he not only gave me the best help/advice he could give, but he also directed me to another store to get stuff that I couldn't get there. That itself spoke volumes to me, and because of his honesty and kindness I haven't gone anywhere else locally since because I've found no need. Two team members, Deriona and Memphis, have also given me probably hours of advice or knowledge at this point. Y'all are the best and I love supporting cool people. TK Aquatics truly is home to an incredible community that always lifts each other up, promotes healthy fishkeeping habits, and keeps us on our toes for what we might stumble upon next!”
— Caden Henderson5.0a month ago“Great customer service. Plants are very healthy!”
— Tracey Adams5.0a month ago“Assorted fresh and salt water inhabitants and supplies. Knowledgeable staff.”
— Hope5.0Edited a month ago“Great service but I feel like the tanks in the windows should be setup nice instead of algae covered glass”
