About
Pisces Aquaria has quietly become one of the most beloved freshwater destinations in Oregon's Willamette Valley, and the steady stream of glowing reviews makes it easy to understand why. This compact, family-owned fish store in Eugene, OR is run by owners Andrew and Ashley, alongside staff like Garrett and Savanna whom recent visitors single out for being patient, genuinely kind, and deeply versed in the hobby. Walk in on any afternoon and you'll find rows of spotless, well-planted tanks, visibly healthy livestock, and a wall of display tanks that customers repeatedly call inspirational.
The focus here is freshwater and aquascaping, and it runs deep. Shoppers come for nano fish, corydoras, rainbowfish, dwarf cichlids, rasboras, schooling tetras, shrimp, and snails, plus bettas housed in proper planted setups rather than cups. The plant selection is among the largest in the Eugene area, paired with hardscape wood and rock, unusual substrates you won't see at chain stores, fertilizers, and premium aquascaping gear from brands like UNS and ADA.
If you're hunting for healthy freshwater fish, shrimp, or aquatic plants for sale in Eugene, OR, this is the shop locals point you toward. What sets it apart is the time the team spends with you. Newcomers describe getting a friendly crash course on tank setup and fish care, with free water testing offered over weeks while a first tank cycles.
Several reviewers have driven in from Roseburg and a couple hours away just to shop here, often leaving with far more than they planned. One lifelong keeper of 35 years called it the most professional yet laid-back aquatic establishment they'd visited anywhere in the country. For aquascaping supplies, healthy freshwater livestock, and patient, no-pressure guidance, Pisces Aquaria is the freshwater fish store near me that Eugene hobbyists recommend without hesitation.
Prices are fair, the tanks are immaculate, and shopping local has rarely felt this rewarding.
