Houston Aqua

My favorite pet store I’ll drive an hour just to go! Very trustworthy store. Love the plant selection. They’ve recently been upgrading making their store Either having new plants, fish, displays. Very much recommended!

The staff was friendly and fast , The kid working there really knows his stuff and what to recommend for beginners, And he was able to stay within my budget as well . Nice selection of fish and plant life. 10 out 10 fish shops that I have been to !!!!!

Best fish store in houston hands down. I’ve been coming to houston aqua for awhile now. When I first got into the hobby the workers were more than happy to inform me about fish care and inform me well if I had any questions. Besides that the selection of plants, fish and even coral are excellent. The prices are fairly priced and you can count on the fish being in good condition. I couldn’t think of anything they could do better, proud to call it my local fish store!

I ordered three discus fish from you with overnight shipping, which unfortunately took two days to be delivered. Although the fish initially appeared to be good quality, all three arrived dead. I contacted you immediately, but the communication process took nearly a week and there was very little follow-up or concern. Eventually, you agreed to send three replacement fish. While these were delivered on time, the packaging was again extremely poor. The fish were double-bagged, but the wrong type of bags was used. Almost all of the water had leaked out, the bags were collapsed and stuck to the fish, and the fish were clearly suffering from severe oxygen deprivation and shock. As soon as I opened the box, I removed the fish from the bags to allow them to breathe and provided strong aeration. I took photos immediately and sent them to you, but received no response. When I finally heard back, I was simply told that the fish were in shock and to provide oxygen — which I had already done. I have been keeping fish for many years and am not inexperienced in this matter. Unfortunately, two of the fish died the same day. The third fish did not eat or swim normally for about a week and only then began to recover. I emailed you again with photos, informed you of the losses, and tried calling, but there was no response and no refund was issued. This situation is completely unacceptable. Between the failed overnight shipping, improper packaging, loss of fish, and lack of communication, this has been a very disappointing experience. I expect this issue to be addressed properly.

This store offers a great variety of fish, and the employees were friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable.

Awesome experience, a lot of different type of fish and the staff always ready to assist

Super excited to have my cherry shrimp! I had these shipped to SATX and all came alive with great color. I will definitely buy again from this store!

Definitely ask for Adam. He is amazing. He’s been cleaning my tank for about six months now he does such a great job. Definitely friendly. His fish are good in healthy Every time we buy a new fish they are not sick

Wonderful service! The staff is always nice and very helpful. I've been twice now for aquatic plants. They were in great health, and they had a much bigger selection than multiple aquarium stores I went to. They had every plant I wanted when others had only one or none. It's a 45 minute drive for me, but it is SO worth it!!! I will be coming back for shrimps!

Great selection! We were looking for more shrimp to add to our tank and they had exactly what we looking for! Alex helped us out and was very knowledgeable and kind. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and had a great experience visiting Houston Aqua. Will definitely be coming back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🦐
