About
Fish Pro's Aquarium Center is the largest aquatic store in Amarillo, TX, and it draws hobbyists and families from across the Texas Panhandle—some driving in from as far as Big Spring just to walk the aisles in person. The front of the shop is lined with freshwater and saltwater tanks holding tropical fish for sale in Amarillo, TX, from community staples to showpieces. Regulars come in for sunburst angelfish, gouramis, and cichlids—including African cichlids and firemouth cichlids—and longtime staffer Greg has a reputation for helping newcomers choose fish that look beautiful and actually get along, like pairing out a first 20-gallon freshwater setup.
Shoppers also find puffers, freshwater shrimp, and a koi pond near the back, and reviewers light up about feeding the koi, puffer fish, and even the eels. This is very much a walk-in destination. " Alongside the livestock you'll find dry goods, aquarium equipment, and fish supplies, making it a true one-stop aquarium store for the region.
What makes Fish Pro's unforgettable is the paid walk-through "zoo" in the back, where for a few dollars a guide leads you past snakes, monitors, lizards, iguanas, bearded dragons, turtles, tarantulas, ferrets, rabbits, and macaws. Guides like Brisket, Jason, and Hayden (also known as Screech) earn glowing praise for their knowledge and patience, letting kids hold animals and learn fun facts—a favorite for birthday outings and family afternoons. Between the fish room, the koi pond, and the hands-on animal exhibit, it's a genuinely unusual stop in the Amarillo area for anyone after tropical fish, pond fish, or a memorable visit with the kids.

— Madisen Olson5.02 months ago“Really cool place! They have a great variety of fish and reptiles, and everything looked well taken care of. One of the best parts was feeding the koi fish, puffer fish, and even the eels. They also have a large number of turtles which was really cool to see. Definitely a fun stop!”
— killersmusic 15005.02 months ago“My husband and I were in town for work and we saw the shop so, we stopped in and it was a great experience. While we were looking around we spoke with the owner who advised us the store also has an animal exhibit. Our tour guide was Brisket and can I just say WOW, the knowledge he has about every animal in there was amazing. I learned things I would’ve never known. So glad we stopped by and will definitely go back any time we are in town.”
