About
Tucked into Cheyenne, Wyoming, Tropical Treasures Wyo LLC has quickly established itself as the city's go-to destination for freshwater fishkeeping. Owned and operated by Jerry and Daphne, this enthusiast-driven shop brings something Cheyenne has long needed: a dedicated fish store run by people who genuinely care about the hobby and the animals they sell. The livestock selection is impressive for a city this size.
Reviewers consistently praise the health of the fish, and Daphne is known for spending serious time with customers — one couple passing through town reported she spent over an hour helping them pick out aquarium plants and answering their questions. That kind of patience and knowledge sets Tropical Treasures apart from the big-box pet stores that dominate most markets. Live plants are a major draw here.
The shop caters to planted tank enthusiasts with a strong variety of aquatic flora, and they stock Aquarium Co-op products — a beloved brand in the fishkeeping community that can otherwise only be ordered online. Having those goods available locally, with no shipping wait or cost, is a real perk that pulls customers from well over an hour away. The store itself is clean, well-organized, and inviting.
Prices are frequently cited as reasonable, and the shop offers a military discount — a thoughtful touch in a military-connected community like Cheyenne. If something specific isn't in stock, Jerry and Daphne will work to bring it in for you. What makes Tropical Treasures special is its focus.
This isn't a pet store that happens to sell fish. It's a freshwater fish store built by hobbyists for hobbyists, with the depth of knowledge and livestock quality to back it up. The passion Jerry and Daphne bring to every interaction — helping customers succeed in building their freshwater aquarium dreams — has earned them a loyal and growing following across southeastern Wyoming.

“Pretty cool but the return policy sucks”
