About The Fish Store

The Fish Store sits on Lake City Way in north Seattle and positions itself as a broad-spectrum aquarium shop rather than a single-specialty one, carrying everything from common community freshwater fish to saltwater species and maintaining dedicated tanks devoted specifically to live plants and corals. Its staff describe over a century of combined aquarium-keeping experience between them, and the shop's own materials emphasize stocking 'oddballs' alongside the standard classics, meaning customers looking for something beyond typical big-box selections have a reasonable chance of finding it. Beyond livestock, the store takes custom orders for tanks, stands, and specialized equipment that isn't part of its standard shelf inventory, filling a niche for hobbyists with nonstandard setups. Reviewers describe ownership and staff as friendly and informative, useful for both first-time tank owners needing basic setup guidance and experienced keepers troubleshooting an established system.
