About
Fish 4 U in Millcreek, Utah has earned a loyal following across Northern Utah's aquarium community, and it's easy to see why. The store stocks both freshwater and saltwater fish, with reviewers frequently praising the variety of exotic and hard-to-find species. Their freshwater plant selection draws particular enthusiasm — customers mention buying live plants for bettas, landscaping setups, and planted tanks, consistently noting healthy specimens free of pests.
One detail that sets Fish 4 U apart is their quarantine protocol. The store quarantines incoming fish before making them available for sale, a practice multiple customers have called out as a major confidence booster. Reviewers report pygmy corydoras thriving months after purchase and shrimp colonies going strong in six-year-old tanks — tangible evidence that the livestock leaves the store in good health.
The owner, described as honest and straightforward, won't hesitate to tell you something won't work for your setup. That kind of candor extends to the whole staff, who customers describe as patient and educational — one reviewer recounted the team patiently guiding a nine-year-old through her first aquarium setup. Whether you need RO or DI water for your reef tank, frozen foods you can't find elsewhere, or the right chemicals for maintaining water quality, the shelves are well stocked.
The store's beautifully aquascaped display tanks showcase what's possible, and the overall cleanliness of the facility reflects the care that goes into maintaining their livestock. Corals, saltwater fish, and a wide range of aquarium accessories round out the inventory. Prices run slightly higher than big-box competitors — a point several reviewers acknowledge — but most consider it worthwhile given the quality of the animals and the expertise of the staff.
For anyone in the Salt Lake area building or maintaining a freshwater or saltwater aquarium, Fish 4 U delivers the kind of personalized, knowledgeable service that keeps hobbyists coming back for years.

Customer reviews
“Great quality items and livestock”
— Visitor5.03 days ago“Lots of exotic fish you often have trouble finding from other sources. Fish seem to be very well cared for and they make sure not to cross contaminate tank water. Fish can be a bit pricey but all fish I've bought from them have lived well after 2 weeks. A thing to note is that they do not have oxygen at their disposal if you are traveling long distance with fish.”

— Terrin R5.0a month ago“By far the best aquarium fish store in Northern Utah!! Very helpful staff. The store is very clean and the prices are good. This store carries a lot of the aquarium products, plants, corals, all of the best chemicals for keeping your tank and the creatures living in it thriving. They stock a wide variety of dry and frozen foods that you can’t find anywhere else!. The owner is honest and she isn’t afraid to tell you something won’t work, she answers however many questions you ask and is very encouraging! Their aquariums are beautifully landscaped and the fish I’ve purchased have always been happy and healthy. Something that sets this store apart from all of the rest is that they quarantine their fish so you know that the fish you buy are not coming home sick. Amazing selection of fresh and Saltwater fish. 100% recommend Fish 4 U!”
