Aquarium Zen, LLC

We originally found this place when we were living temporarily in Fremont and wanted to beautify our drab apartment with a fish tank. We still make the Trek up to aquariums even after moving to Renton. We have gone to some of the local aquarium stores in Renton and they just don't compare to the vibe and knowledge that aquarium Zen has. They may not be the cheapest option but their fish are clearly worth the premium because they are always in good health and are beautiful looking. We recently spent a considerable amount on a new tank light that has completely transformed the look and feel of our small tank. We would not have considered it if we hadn't seen it in use during our multiple visits but it was worth every penny. Not only do our fish look more vibrant than they ever have, but our plants benefit from a grow light that will keep them thriving as well. I cannot recommend aquarium zen highly enough for anyone who truly wants the best experience.

They have tons of beautiful display fish tanks.. I was their for the Neocaridina shrimp and they have only cull shrimps available, so if you're looking for shrimps that will breed quality... this shop is the wrong place to go. However, they do take good care of the betta. Each betta was place in a 1 gallon glass jar with Indian Almond Leaves. Their plants are super pricey... However they have a nightmare number of plants selection. They do not provide local restroom.

I wanted to build my dream high tech nano scape for a long time with right equipments and good quality products, which is when I found out Aquarium Zen! They have beautiful tank setups throughout the shop, plants and fishes looks super energetic (betta fish especially). The girl (I forgot her name :( ) is very knowledgeable (so is Steve and everyone) and helped me achieve my target. I got my tank, canister filter, plants, rocks, wood and c02 stuffs (tubing, diffuser, check valve, etc) and I’m super happy with the so far results and the quality. I see some reviews say that the plants are pricey, I would rather see as spending on right quality to start the setup well (which is crucial than getting ones that melt no matter what). They guide you well appropriately based on your req. if you know what you are trying to do and I love this place ❣️ Will visit more often just to see their tanks and to improve my further scapes! P.S. The images I added are from the scape I setup at home (it’s currently just 2 weeks old) with their products!

Absolutely love this shop! I go here to get all my fish! Their plants are super lush and healthy, they have a wide variety of everything (plants, fish, hardscape)! And the employees are very friendly and helpful! All the fish tanks have loads of plants and the Betta fish each get a large jar with botanicals and plants (much better than the Petsmart/Petco plastic cups). All the fish (and shrimp!) are super healthy with vibrant colors! Can't say enough great things about this store! It's such a lovely environment as well! I always get so excited to go!

Such a cool store. The owner is very kind and showed us around, let us ask tons of questions even though we are only visiting and couldn’t support his business the way we would love to if we lived here. Will absolutely be back and if we decide to move here this will be our new shop!
