About
Set back behind an easy-to-miss sign in Bristol, PA, Fish Factory is the kind of aquarium store longtime hobbyists trade tips about and first-timers stumble onto by luck. The space is compact and a little dim, reading more like a working fishroom than a glossy showroom, but regulars insist that's the appeal. As one reviewer put it, "you can tell they are fish keepers," and the care shows in the livestock.
" Shoppers come for healthy panda corydoras at fair prices, bettas paired with floating frogbit, and South American cichlids such as Geophagus. If you're after tropical fish, corals, or aquarium plants for sale in Bristol, PA, this is a stop worth making, and the saltwater section keeps reef builders returning to see what's new. The staff is the real draw.
" Beyond livestock, the dry-goods shelves run deep, stocked with gear, value brands like Hygger, pond supplies, and used tanks and equipment for anyone hunting a deal. It can get cramped and busy, and patience helps when staff are mid-task, but the people behind the counter clearly care about the hobby. For fish keepers searching "saltwater fish near me" in Bucks County, Fish Factory rewards those who track down its elusive sign.

— Maurice No5.03 weeks ago“Fish Factory has pleasant staff but they need to clean up the place and make it more organized. They leave you with the impression they don't take care of the fish well.”
— Jeffrey Jones3.02 months ago“got a beautiful betta and some frogbit, fish keeper was very knowledgeable and friendly.”
— Jam5.02 months ago“DO NOT BUY FISH FROM HERE. I bought two Geophagus from here, one died the next day, the other died within 1 week due to a disease. Requested a refund and i was told i could only get a one time credit due to their no return policy. They introduced disease to the rest of my established South American Cichlid tank. What a shame….”
— Joshua Bowens1.04 months ago“Drove 70 minutes being told a fish will be there for me to have it sold right before I got there. A shame cause hard to find stores with good fish anymore but with customer service like that we will find somewhere else.”
— Forever Phans1.04 months ago“Will 100% return here for the legendary, Dan the Fish man”
— Charlie Robbins5.03 days ago“Alright store. Small selection of salt and fresh water fish.. a small business so I like to try and support them, prices are usually on the more expensive side compared to others though. Will sometimes work with you on pricing to move inventory. I always stop here before going to the other aquarium store around the corner just to see the selection they may have. Staff are friendly and helpful.”
