Salty Fish Aquariums - Tropical fish store in San Antonio - 5535 Brewster St, USA

This place is awesome! Everyone I’ve met and spoken to has always been very helpful and knowledgeable. Great selection on everything and prices are very good to fair. They have also helped me with rehoming fish no problem! They offer all sorts of stuff and I’ll probably be checking out their terrarium classes as well. Definitely my go to shop in San Antonio!

Salty Fish Aquariums is a family-owned business. Terry and his family are friendly, knowledgeable and the nicest fish store proprietors in San Antonio. The store is beautiful and they have healthy, beautiful stock of fish. Terry also sells custom made tanks. I bought a 310G tank made to my specifications. Any questions you have regarding fish-keeping, Salty Fish Aquariums is the place to go. San Antonio is lucky to have them.

I have driven by the store many times and finally got a chance to go in. It is clean, inviting, a very enjoyable experience. You can tell that the owners love what they do and that they really enjoy talking to you about all of the different fish in the store, the different plants, they are amazing! Came in just to look around. Left with a couple new fish, a couple of new plants, some treats for my fish, And very happy! This is a local business that I am more than happy to support!

I have been to many aquarium shops in San Antonio and I always wanted to visit this one and I had the chance to stop by about a month ago. The owners were friendly and professional. They had a good selection of freshwater and saltwater fish, the tanks and livestock are well taken care of. They had the Frontosas that I have been looking for and they are thriving in their new home. They have an awesome selection of driftwood and stone. I have always ordered my hardscape online, but now that I have seen what they have to offer I will buy my hardscape from these guys from now on. Thank you for a great experience!

It's clean, fish seem happy and healthy, and they have ample variety from products to fish. I was a little disappointed with my interaction with the associate, though. I was looking for a Betta for my 4 year Olds first pet, and I had a set up. I have cared for fish and done some research, so I wasn't completely helpless, but I asked about things like water current, tank size, temperature, etc. In hopes of gaining further insight, and while he was VERY POLITE and kind....He didn't seem to offer much real help. Most of his answers consisted of..."it'll be fine" or "it doesn't matter really" and things along those lines, when I had already known several of these things do matter if you don't want your fish belly up in 2 months. Overall great spot if you already know what you're doing or what you need/want but in my limited experience I didn't get the more in depth help I was hoping for from a specialized aquarium place...I could have just gone to petsmart and let them tell me the same things. I can say that I WOULD RETUEN for the selection and variety, though.

The work was outstanding customer services was great they install a 65gal salt water tank there very detailed in their work. If you looking for a fish tank call them or visit the store. I can’t ask for more Thanks guys this will be my first stop all the time………

Every time I think it can't be worse, maybe it was just a bad experience. But no, I've come to the realization that they are just preying on those who are new to the hobby. The conditions of their tanks and livestock are appalling, and their "knowledgeable" staff is no more than the owners son, who barely knows the basics and would rather touch himself than give you any help. They talk big and with confidence, but that doesn't mean they are correct. Do yourself a favor and go else where, they can't even commit to keeping dead fish out of the tanks. Let's not forget the "reptile" section that they paid someone to come and set up all those tanks just for them to still be empty and sitting there 5 years later. Why continue supporting these frauds?

I went in and was greeted at the door by Terry. He helped me with the things I needed and also took the time to answer the questions that I had about starting up my aquarium. He didn't rush me off to get to the next customer, and I appreciated that. I will be shopping there again real soon.
