About Us

Aquarium Co-Op is a new way of doing aquatic business. We’ve learned that our customers are environmentally friendly, price conscious and want high-quality fish and products. Most would say that those three things are mutually exclusive. However, with the support of our customers, we strive to meet these needs. Our retail store is located at 9661 Firdale Ave, Edmonds, WA 98020. Please note that our warehouse operation is located in Lexington, KY, which is where all online orders are sent from. 

Some of the ways we meet these needs are the following:

We buy fish from local breeders when it’s possible.
We only carry products that we believe are tried and true. By focusing on quality products, we buy in bulk and pass the savings to you.
Our store uses an automatic water change system that allows us to change water on all the tanks at the same time. Each tank is filtered individually and water is never shared between aquariums.
We quarantine all fish before they are sold and sterilize our nets between each use to keep our fish healthier.
We’ll be sure to get to know you and your aquarium personally with our small, tight-knit team. This helps us to support you better with all of your aquatic decisions.
We offer a discount of 5% to our YouTube channel members and current Greater Seattle Aquarium Society members and enjoy contributing to the philanthropy projects, such as putting aquariums in schools.
We want to help you track down that rare fish that will complete your tank. Our team of experts will guide you through setting up that new aquarium for your family and are committed to helping you enjoy nature daily.

It is our philosophy that by combining our love of quality fish/products with locally bred fish and plants; we can create a fun, inviting and sustainable hobby for all to enjoy. We encourage you to come explore Aquarium Co-Op.

Aquarium Coop and your videos are a large reason why I have become heavily involved in the aquarium hobby for the second time in my life. Being from a very isolated place, the closest good fish store is 3 to 4 hours drive, AC is invaluable. I came back to the hobby 4 years ago and I have 22 tanks, 60 fish species and have bred quite a few.

I visited the store for the first time the other day and it is amazing! The animals and plants were healthier than I’ve ever seen in a store; the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate; and the prices on everything were extremely fair, much better than what I’m used to paying.

I was visiting from out of state so I couldn’t take too much home, but if I lived close enough I would going my way to do business with this shop. I might move just so I can. Easily the best shop I’ve ever visited across the entire country.

I’ve been a longtime fan of the YouTube channel and blog, so when I had a trip to Washington, I knew I needed to stop in and I am so glad I did.

I am new to the hobby. I had no idea what I was getting involved with. There is so much conflicting information out there. Finding the aquarium co-op is the best thing that happened since taking on this adventure. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, answers all of the many questions I have every time I come in. I've been involved in this hobby for a couple months now and have been going there almost every weekend. I look forward to talking with the staff and getting answers to all of my questions. Customer service there is outstanding.
