About
Tucked into Centralia, Washington, Aquarium Pro is the kind of neighborhood fish store that earns fierce loyalty. Owner Jamie has built a reputation as the go-to aquatics expert in Lewis County, and the reviews make it clear why — she doesn't just sell fish, she teaches people how to keep them alive and thriving. The store stocks a genuinely diverse freshwater selection.
Customers have picked up everything from pea puffers and bettas to Corydoras catfish, shrimp colonies, and axolotls. The display tanks double as inspiration — reviewers describe them as living ecosystems, meticulously maintained and beautiful to look at. Live plants and planted tank supplies are well-represented, and there's a solid inventory of decorations, driftwood, and dry goods alongside the livestock.
What sets Aquarium Pro apart is the depth of service. Jamie personally helped one customer diagnose and treat an ich outbreak in a freshwater planted tank, walking them through every step in detail. She's assembled bi-monthly tank cleaning packages for axolotl owners, set up and tested bubble filters in-store before customers left, and guided complete beginners through their very first tank setup.
One reviewer credits Jamie's advice with saving their upside-down Corydoras overnight. Water testing and equipment consultation are part of the regular experience here, not an upsell. The shop has a distinctly hobbyist atmosphere.
There's a play table with sand and decorations for kids, cats available for adoption, and a resident shop dog. Jamie has been known to stay past closing to help a customer grab snails, and she's let a visiting child feed the fish and take home stickers. It's personal, sometimes a little unpredictable with hours, but unmistakably passionate.
For freshwater fishkeepers anywhere near Centralia — or even a 35-minute drive away — Aquarium Pro delivers the kind of hands-on expertise and curated livestock selection that big-box pet stores simply cannot match.

Customer reviews
“Great store. Very helpful & nice/friendly staff. Just getting my tanks going, so I look forward to returning.”
— josh assing5.02 weeks ago“Jamie at Aquarium pro is the absolute best! I was struggling with keeping my axolotl tank clean and healthy. Jamie set me up with a very reasonably priced bi monthly cleaning package that is an absolute game changer. The service is so much more than just a cleaning, it comes with a wealth of knowledge and advice that is priceless if you want the best possible habit for the pets you love. I could not be more happy, 100% recommend.”
— michael beauregard5.0Edited 2 weeks ago“Thank you Aquarium Pro for helping me find everything I need to have a shrimp tank at home. If you haven't been into Aquarium Pro in Centralia yet, it is definitely worth a stop! Tons of amazing underwater creatures to see and shop for. Everyone there is always so friendly and helpful. The owner was nice enough to show me how to set up my new bubble filter and was even able to put it together in the store and test it before I left.”
— Donna Dean Wilson5.03 weeks ago“Very knowledge and helped us set up our very first tank. Everything they said was right on the money. We love our little new family member Darwin. He is a very social Betta. Very happy this store is so close by.”

My little pea puffer is happy in her new tank she ate some food and is swimming around her tunnel and plants.....she comes up to me and blows bubbles with her mouth. I named her Mrs. Puff aka puff puff or puff the magic fish.”
