About Us
Carefully sourced.
Expertly kept.
Delivered to your door.
We are a passionate team of aquarium enthusiasts who turned a love for the hobby into a full-service aquatics store — specializing in freshwater fish, aquatic plants, shrimp, hardscape, and everything in between.
Born from a genuine love for the hobby
The Aquatic Garage started the way most great things do — in a garage, surrounded by tanks, driven by a passion that refused to stay contained to a hobby. What began as a personal obsession with aquascaping, rare shrimp, and finding the perfect hardscape composition grew into something far bigger.
Today we operate as a dedicated aquatics store, providing hobbyists of all experience levels with access to premium livestock, curated plants, and expert knowledge — the kind of service that was always missing from big-box pet stores.
"We only sell what we would keep ourselves. That's the standard everything is held to."Quality over everything
Livestock First
Every fish, shrimp, and invertebrate we sell is carefully sourced, properly quarantined, and conditioned before it reaches you. We don't cut corners on the animals.
Healthy Plants
Our aquatic and house plants are grown and maintained in conditions that reflect how they'll live in your tank. What you receive is what we'd plant ourselves.
Real Expertise
We're hobbyists first and sellers second. When you reach out, you're talking to someone who has kept the fish, grown the plants, and built the scapes — not a customer service script.
Everything for your aquarium
Freshwater Fish
From beginner community fish to rare dwarf cichlids, discus, and premium plecos — a curated range for every tank and skill level.
