About
Tucked across the street from Camino in Winchester, Tennessee, Aquaholics Tropical Fish Store is a locally owned shop run by a husband-and-wife team whose passion for fishkeeping is evident in every meticulously maintained tank. Since opening, the store has quickly built a devoted following — customers regularly drive hours for their stock, with one reviewer making a three-hour round trip to pick up hard-to-find freshwater fish. The freshwater selection is the heart of the operation.
Reviewers rave about vibrant neon tetras, angelfish, loaches, female guppies, mollies, and blue shrimp, all in excellent health and quick to acclimate to home tanks. Live plants and decorative rocks round out the inventory, giving planted-tank enthusiasts solid options alongside the livestock. Snails and shrimp share shelf space with tanks and accessories, and the owners maintain a special-order policy — if they don't carry something, they'll track it down for you.
What sets Aquaholics apart from the big-box pet stores is the consultative approach. The owners take real time with every customer, whether it's helping a family pick out compatible tankmates for inherited angelfish or walking a complete beginner through their first setup. Multiple reviewers mention spending extended conversations learning about care, compatibility, and tank maintenance, describing the experience as educational rather than transactional.
One customer who'd dealt with repeated issues from chain stores declared Aquaholics their only future source for fish. The store runs regular promotions — an Easter egg hunt with mystery prizes being a recent favorite — and maintains an active Facebook presence for deal announcements. A loyalty rewards program adds another reason to keep coming back.
The space itself is compact but spotless, with healthy, colorful fish on display throughout. Notably, Aquaholics is freshwater-only for now — one reviewer flagged the lack of saltwater livestock — but the owners are clearly growing. For freshwater fishkeepers in southern Tennessee and northern Alabama, this is the local fish store the area has been waiting for.
