This store is such a wonderful addition to the Omaha area!! My boyfriend had mentioned he had seen this store one day and we hoped we could stop by soon. We had recently become betta fish parents and we want to learn how to be the best parents we can! Our Betta is about two months in at our home and we had started getting a real algae problem. Some of our plants started to get weird and junk so we pulled them out. We were geared up to get some new plants, a siphon tool to help us clean and change out the water, and of course learn more about how we can maintain a great aquarium for our fish. We happened to be off the same day so we made the trek over to Rivers and Reefs! Walking in was as if you were walking into the most intentional fish store I've experienced. The tanks were of differing sizes with various fish, plants, and decor inside the tank for the fish communities. There were salt water fish and fresh water fish. I loved seeing the crates beneath the aquariums with various rocks, driftwood, wood, and other aquarium decor we can purchase. Each crate was easily marked with the price per pound. I also loved that they had a few betta fish in large tanks with plants and other fish. The bettas looked happy and big!! It was such a nice thing to see after seeing so many bettas looking sad in those small cups at other pet stores. We were greeted by the employees there in a timely manner and one of them came over to help us as we decided what algae eater we should get and what plants would be good to add to our aquarium. The employee was incredibly friendly and helpful. She was patient with our questions and seemed very knowledgeable. We decided on a small clown pleco to add to our aquarium and a few plants that will hopefully take nicely and continue to grow. Once we got home we got to changing the water and getting it pretty clean. We got our pleco acclimated and now he's been cruising down below while Betta keeps enjoying his tank! We know we will definitely keep coming back to this store for all of our fish and aquarium needs. It felt less intimidating than other stores and the staff is incredibly helpful!

Unlike any other fish store. I am in awe when I go in there and the people definitely know what they're talking about and doing. Beautiful place with sturdy fish.

The store is very hip and very cool. Andrew is a very knowledgeable staff member, possibly owner? As an aquarium enthusiast I will only purchase items from here because of the knowledge and cleanliness of the tanks.
