About
The Aquarium Pet Store in Weatherford, Oklahoma serves as the go-to pet destination for much of western Oklahoma, saving locals the long drive to Oklahoma City for supplies and livestock. While the name says "Aquarium," this is a full-spectrum pet shop carrying freshwater fish, reptiles, birds, small mammals, amphibians, and a wide range of care products. On the aquatic side, the store stocks a variety of freshwater fish including goldfish and koi, along with cherry shrimp, snails, live plants, and an array of hardscape materials for aquascaping.
Multiple reviewers mention coming back repeatedly to build out their aquarium setups, picking up supplies and livestock on successive visits with guidance from staff. The selection of fish tanks and accessories is noted as the best in Weatherford, and the store carries aquarium equipment alongside fish food and general pet care products. Beyond fish, The Aquarium is well-regarded for its reptile selection — bearded dragons are a particular draw, with at least one customer excitedly naming their new dragon Loki after purchase.
The shop also carries boa constrictors, geckos, frogs, and various snakes. Small mammals like rats, mice, ferrets, and chinchillas round out the livestock, and the store serves as a reliable source for feeder insects and rodents. Staff knowledge gets consistently high marks across reviews.
Multiple customers describe detailed conversations about animal care, with employees taking time to recommend appropriate products rather than simply upselling. One customer drove 45 minutes after a thorough phone consultation and found the in-person experience matched the helpful tone. The store has a reputation for prioritizing animal comfort over profit margins.
The shop is clean and well-organized for its size, though a few reviewers note cigarette smoke near the entrance and slightly higher prices than big-box competitors. For the Weatherford area, it fills a genuine need — a locally owned store where you can get honest advice, healthy animals, and the supplies to care for them properly, all without a two-hour round trip.

Customer reviews
“Very nice! Answered all of my questions over the phone because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to drive the 45 mins even without having a for sure purchase. Once there they greeted us with smiles on their faces and talked extensively on what to do for our little buddy to make him the most comfortable. We did spend quite a bit for him and all his accessories but that’s to be expected and every item they suggested wasn’t even the most expensive. Seems they are more about the comfort of the animal and what they are used to than the actual profit.”

— Elizabeth Herron5.010 months ago“Really nice people in here, they are really helpful. Been to some city stores that aren’t helpful & are really rude if you ask questions, so it was refreshing to have a smile behind the questions rather than reproached.”
— Timothy Painter5.0a year ago“The Aquarium pet store on 10318 N 2410 Rd Weatherford Oklahoma is a pretty cute little lfs it also has ferrets, chinchillas, reptiles, birds, etc. fish tanks have pretty good husbandry but I do have some issues considering the fish they have certain individual fish that don’t have proper husbandry as in a a huge iridescent shark in a fish tank I asked them it is not for sale and a betta in a small cube w a filter and a betta log. Water in gold fish & koi tank was murky as all living hell. Boa constrictors enclosure was very small but overall all the animals looked healthy and happy. They had a rescue cat and he was very cute and sweet he was a munchkin cat I didn’t catch he’s name tho but they had cherry shrimp and snails (as any lfs would have). They had an array of hardscape aswell as a lot of fish tanks and live plants I will be shopping here in the future for all my fish keeping needs (I live nearby) staff is very helpful and sweet overall I would rate it abt a 3.4/5.”

— Patrick Cronk4.0a year ago“It's nice to have a local pet shop to get supplies instead of having to drive to OKC for everything.”
— V S5.0a year ago“Wonderful helpful staff. I'm only a little sad they dont carry a hognose snake but that's ok. I will definitely be back.”
— Jennifer Hunsinger5.0a year ago“My 18 year old daughter bought a pet rat, and supplies to go with it yesterday. She got home in Elk City, and water bottle didn’t work. Had a crack. She called down there and explained she lived 45 miles. Little water bottle was $13. The old lady argued with her, and was quite rude. When she told them she had bought several pets and supplies there, the old lady said snotty, ha you don’t buy MUCH in here. I’ve been in there twice and didn’t care for it. If you like rude entitled people, who don’t stand by what they sale, go to the Aquarium, where you don’t matter because you don’t SPEND MUCH in there!!!! This is why it’s NOT always best to shop local with self entitled individuals. We get better service at the big pet shops in the city, and it’s sooooo worth the drive, compared to this nasty place… I may just have to go check it out again now.”
