Aquatic Design Aquariums

9/18/24: Stopped by to look at some fish and Shawn and Steven greeted me. They were both very friendly and knowledgeable. They encouraged me to look around and take my time. They made me feel like a valued customer. To note, I purchased a 110 gallon fish tank from this location in 2017. I still have the tank, in a freshwater set up, and have continued to enjoy this hobby.

I came here as a complete beginner to this beautiful hobby. After countless YouTube videos watched on how to properly set up/care for aquariums, almost every YouTuber said to just stop by your local aquarium store and ask questions.I walked in the store and Michael greeted me Immediately.I started an hour conversation by saying "hey, stupid question...." He was able to really inform me about easy beginner plants for fresh water aquariums, substrate, sponge filtrations, water testing kits. I've been here 3 times in the past 2 weeks because they offer free water testings by the employees! Super important to test your new aquarium before adding fish! They write all the information down on a paper for your own documentation.Found my new hobby, and didn't feel discouraged asking "stupid questions".

We came in to get SNAILS just cheap little snails, the ladies working knew this. They treated my daughter and I like we were going to spend hundreds of dollars. They did not mind that we looked at EVERY TANK 6 times and got all excited over baby star fish. When the lady noticed that one of the fresh water snails we picked out didn't have the best looking snail she just GAVE us some calcium for him! We will 100% make the 20min drive to be back for ALL our fishy needs after our visit yesterday 5 stars does not even cover the service we got yesterday. The tanks were all beautiful and the place did not smell fishy I don't think you could regret going here. Thank you Ladies SOOO much for helping us celebrate my daughter's end of year awards picking out our Snails - now Named Gary, Susan, Tina Turbo and Burn

I was pleased to find that the staff is incredibly helpful and cares very much for the aquatic life! Prices are fair, selection is limited for freshwater but I noticed a variety of sea creatures and decorations. Specifically there are beautiful coral chunks and neon shrimps that I couldn't stop fawning over. It took a while to get help, with good reason. The staff takes their time to give proper good care and advice to everyone!

I'll never go back to a chain pet store for my aquarium needs!!! My husband and I feel so blessed to have found this place! Thank you Aquatic Design Aquariums!!! You guys rock! You're the best!

I've known these guys for years and they have never let me down when it comes to fish selection or service. Prices are fair and reasonable. Best time to go check out their new stock is Wednesdays.

I have used these guys to maintain my salt water aquarium for years now! Always a wonderful experience and feel comfortable enough to have them in my home when we are gone. I would highly recommend Aquatic design to anyone looking for fish tank service or for a good spot to come buy products to feed your hobby!

Awesome little aquarium store! I had been buying all my saltwater stuff online, but between the expensive overnight shipping and not always healthy livestock, I decided to look elsewhere. Typically when you buy local, prices all over the price and tend to be way too high. Aquatic Designs has very competitive pricing and a pretty nice selection. I bought 3 LPS frags for $50, and 20 astraea/margarita snails for $30. Pretty good prices given inflation! I'll definitely be returning and hope others check this place out as well!

Tons of potential at this place but the aiptasia is everywhere and I just can't reco for livestock or coral. Also was told they do have a flatworm problem so definitely dip anything you get. Just be wary of what your buying. Staff was great though so they get 3 stars. Aiptasia ain't easy and they do have peppermint shrimp everywhere so they're trying.

So I had a day off and spent the whole day going to all of the aquarium stores on yelp in DFW. This place was by far the oldest and most run down store and just felt a little dirty. The fish selection wasn't great - at least for what I was looking for which are freshwater nano fish. The staff was nice though.
