Best place period. Never buying fish from any other store. If you are a beginner or long time aquarium owner. These people or your people.

I wished I found European aquatics sooner. If there’s any advice, go to your local fish store and not big chain pet store. There’s a lot of in-breeding going on and I have low survival rates.I bought 2 guppies, 2 emerald Corydoras, 3 panda Corydoras, 4 sterbai Corydoras, and 2 powder blue dwarf gourami. All at different times. Picked up 2 gourami today. The personality of the fishes I bought from European Aquatics is night and day different than big box chain stores. The ones from European aquatics are zooming all around the tank and just a fun time to watch. Big chain store bought fish just kinda swim around slowly.The staff is very knowledgable. I have done research with tank parameters for different species and feeding but I was suggested to look into the gourami and they will do well with corydoras and guppies and it’s been 4 hours and they have been peaceful. They didn’t just suggest any fish for a sale. They wanted to know what I have and tank size so they can properly suggest a fish for me.I will look into another gourami. Will have to research to see if another one will be fine for my tank before just going to buy another fish.They also have a good selection of plants which I actually need to do but one thing at a time. Don’t want to do too much at once.

These guys are super friendly and knowledgeable about both fresh and saltwater aquariums. They foster a great community environment for people interested in the hobby. Definitely the local place to go if you want some high quality stocks. Highly recommend!

Came in during the soft opening in their new location. The staff was very nice and helpful. They have both salt and freshwater fish, corals, plants and equipment, I count over 100 tanks on the shelves. They gave me a discount when buying multiple fish and plants

Dude! Marty, Brady, and the rest of European Aquatics are, hands down, the best fish guys in the business! They have an awesome selection of saltwater and freshwater fish, plants, anemones, and corals, as well as all the supplies and fish food you need. The stock changes every week, which they update on their instagram/facebook!Also, they offer great home services! Marty comes out every month to service my 150 gallon saltwater tank and does an amazing job. The service includes food, maintenance, water change, and some surprise fish and coral!European Aquatics has made me truly appreciate reef tanks and I highly recommend them to everyone who keeps fish!

Best fish store i have been to. Huge selection of both fresh and saltwater friends. Beautiful coral frags, tons of fresh and salt rocks and a really neat selection of drift wood pieces. Many plants as well. Tanks are very well taken care of and staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Very happy to have decided to come here. Will certainly be back. Took home some new inverts and a goby.

Awesome shop! Huge selection of anything you could want - fish, corals, inverts. Prices are super reasonable. The owner & employees are all very friendly and willing to help troubleshoot any problems you might have with your tank. Highly recommend!!

Marty and Brady are the best around. Knowledgeable, friendly, and make it way too easy to spend a lot of money.The shop dog is pretty cool too.

I have been shopping here for 2+ years. Got my tank, fish, food. The owners are great, knowledgable, and I have really enjoyed keeping an aquarium with their help. But about 3 weeks, I got 6 fish and within a couple weeks, all fish (15) in my tank, new and old, were dead. I encourage you to get fish at European, they are great!! I'm still giving them 4 stars... But I will be shopping elsewhere moving forward. It's been traumatic seeing all my fish die...

Great place to buy high quality tanks and healthy fish and plants - half of the store is saltwater, the other half fresh. The owners and staff are friendly and very helpful, and they always have an interesting selection of fish. I bought an Innovative Marine tank and all of my livestock from them. I have to resist the urge to swing by all of the time otherwise I’m going to end up with an overstocked tank or another one.

Five stars hands down. My first time going there, and it was the best fish buying experience I have ever had (I got 2 bumblebee gobys). Passionate and knowledgeable staff who genuinely want to help you. If you are on the fence with where to go just go here. It's a 45-minute drive for me and I will never go anywhere else.

What an amazing and clean fish store. It's been a long time since I've gone into a place that is bright colorful and inviting. All the fish look healthy and some great selection is to be found. You can get Coral, saltwater fish, and even freshwater fish. Marty is amazing and knows his stuff. I am glad I don't have to drive through the city to find great fish and supplies anymore. Always good when the owner is just as passionate as the customers.

I was so happy to walk into the store and see Marty! Ive known him for years and once sold him fish at my old job so it was such a fun time going to see corals! I was in the neighbor because I friend needed live brine shrimp, he had it in stock which really saved the day. My fiance left with an anemone and some corals and I couldnt help but get one of their bettas. Thanks again guys. The shop looks great and I can tell big things are in store for you 😊

the owner of the shop gives amazing advice and knows his stuff. also i appreciate that he also is one of the only shops in seattle that quarantines the fish when he gets them. His brand is homegrown, its clear he loves his fish and shop. - Age 11.

A simple review cannot do justice European Aquatics justice. Great selection of marine fish, corals, invertebrates, and general dry goods. Be sure to check out the back where there is an actual sandbox to arrange Marco Rocks prior to purchasing!All too many LFS’s are all too willing to order/sell you anything without regard for animals’ well-being. E.A. will let you know the good, ugly, and their experiences to aid you in making an informed decision.Marty and his team are knowledgeable and keen on imparting their experience and insight to those who seek it. They have earned my continued business.

Visited with BF, as he's interested in putting together a new set up. He found that he could get everything he needed here, plus some unusual items that the pet stores don't have. Store is in 2 sections. Owner very helpful & gives you 1:1 attention

Excellence!Martin is knowledgeable, has fantastic corals and really pleasant to speak with. Definitely do not overlook this LFS for premium corals, good reefing conversation and knowledgeable advice. Come see awesome corals and help this business to grow!

Very cool store the fish are healthy and the manager knows what he is talking about. For a small store they have a wide variety of fish that you may not see at your local pet co or pet smart. Brady the manager is very helpful and knows a lot about fish. I will be coming back

Brady and Marty are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. They helped me get my first tank up and running! I can't thank them enough! Incredible selection of fish, tanks, and every accessory you will need.

Marty is the man, first time I met him, he welcomed us in with a smile and had an amazing personality. Always has had reasonable prices on all of his stuff. We have been going to him since 2019. I cannot emphasize enough how professional he is. We ordered a very good quality tank from him and it was here within 3 weeks. Everything was correct to the “T”. He came on his personal time to set up our new aquarium. Within 2 hours the tank was rolling and given a great amount of effort. Unlike another review of a man complaining about his experience, I believe that is irrelevant to his business because all other reviews contradict what the man says. If you every to go somewhere for legitimate professional business go visit this dude. He has got everything in line. Knowledge and staff are on point, you don’t get that everywhere.
