My husband is an experienced home fresh water aquarium user. We have looked for many years for a reliable, clean, top quality store. Becky's is it!! The store is a little crowded but everything is clean and all high quality fish and supplies. The experienced owner and her staff are very helpful and always give us great advice. They've gotten us thru a few issues with ease. Again, i can not stress her quality of fish and products. Please go see Becky's store, it's the best place for beginners and experienced fish owners....fresh or salt water!!! Excellent service

We came in. First thing Becky says is "we aren't here to sell you fish we're here to educate you" (we have had aquariums for over 6 years) then proceeded to sell me a pleco instead of a pandagara. She also tried to tell my German blue rams would kill everything in our tank- I would recommend Liquid Zoo up the street. Better selection better quality and the people actually know their stuff and helped me identify these random fish. They are a lot nicer on their approach of providing guidance as well. Becky's might be better for salt water but as far as your fresh water needs- wouldn't recommend. She should probably try to sell fish and educate herself...

Great customer service! I live about an hour away, she responded to text quickly, when she didn't have what I was looking for in stock, she ordered it for me and held it for me to get there.

I visited Becky's for the 1st time this weekend which involved an hour drive from Bentonville, AR. Her store is clean and her alarm system/door greeter is adorable (gorgeous poodle). Her attention to the teaching opportunities of each customer was next level, she gets the hospitality aspect of retail like things were before we are became so polarized and apathetic. Her store doesn't have many tanks but they're filled w oddballs. Her offer to special order anything I needed was a nice touch. Overall, a nice boutique style shop. A place I'd think of first when my fish are sick. A real joy to visit, thanks Becky! Love my rs gold several, ty!

Always love chit chatting with Becky. Anything I've asked for, she's been able to get it for me. We were once competing for business and now we are friends

I have learned so much from Becky and her crew. Yes sometimes there is a wait but the help they give is so worth the time. They set you up for success.

Stopped in to check out Becky's Aquarium. Very informational and just an all out awesome place to visit. < Post from first visit.It took 4 years after my first visit to Becky's to decide to step into the hobby. Purchased what I needed from Becky's to start first saltwater aquarium and the advice from Becky and her crew to get my tank up and running has been flawless. Within 2 weeks into the cycle on a new setup I was able to put in a couple fish. Fish tank looks great, thanks for the help and making this process easy and less stressful.

This fish lady sure knows what it take when working with any of your aquarium needs. Nicest lady to help you and want you to succeed at your hobby. She helped me get into saltwater and absolutely loved it. My aquarium turned out amazing with Beckys help. Will always come to this place for help and my aquarium needs.

Love, love the service and the employees. They are friendly, courteous and very helpful. The services they offer are outstanding as well as the education the offer their customers on how to properly take care of their tanks and fish. Wholly recommend Becky's Aquarium Works to anyone who wants to set up tank or those who are wanting to better establish the one(s) they already have.

Becky is highly experienced with fish keeping and I feel like I'm appreciated and welcome from the moment I walk in to moment I leave. The fish are very healthy and her tanks are clean. I highly recommend Becky's Aquarium Works.

Becky is great! Super knowledgeable about salt water fish and coral. Her shop is small but immaculate and she is super friendly. Her shop dog is great too! 😊 A bit further to drive than my regular shop, but I will for sire go again.

A great little shop in Joplin. The only place I go for my fish.

Becky and her staff were extremely helpful and in no way dismissive of my novice fish questions. My daughter’s beta hadn’t eaten for a week and I was about to give up on it when I called the shop. They told me to bring in the fish and they gave it a “salt bath.” Now two weeks later the fish is almost recovered, and most importantly is eating again. Highly recommend this shop!

This is by far the best fish store I’ve experienced! You are welcomed as family from the first time you come to the store, and that feeling never changes. Becky has boundless knowledge and will do all she can to help even if she’s not “on the clock”. I would recommend anyone interested in joining the aquatic hobby go in and talk to Donald and Becky!

Robin Plumbing, LLC has been using Becky's Aquarium for over a year now and just love the service and the treatment we get! From getting us started with our first salt water tank to weekly service. I can reach out any time with a picture or a question and Becky is always there to answer and provide guidance. If you haven't been to the store, you should go! The fish lady's store is clean, the environment is family friendly and the knowledge that is shared is larger than any place I've been.A bonus is you'll be greeted by a special friend, a poodle that is as sweet as can be.

Don't waste your time if your looking for african cichlids the guys that helped me had no idea what they were selling. I ended up getting what I was told, were 2 ob peacocks at juvenile size. A month later after they've grown a bit, they are definitely mbuna. The shop was unwilling to correct their error.

Great great people! Becky and her crew are exceptional at their chosen craft and conduct themselves in the highest integrity.She gives back to her community through service to others in her spare time, and the crew, led by Donald, performs all duties and service impeccably with care, along with personal character that is beyond reproach.

Quality of the fish is a step above the rest. Was my first visit and I was very impressed. Becky is very knowledgable and kind. The professionalism of the shop exceeded my expectations. Not your run of the mill fish store. Thank you again Becky for the great peacocks!

My first time here was so pleasant! She's so very helpful and knowledgeable. The store is one of the cleanest aquarium set ups I've seen. I will definitely be going only here from now on for my aquatic needs!

This is the cleanest pet store I've ever been in. I was buying all my fish from pet smart but seems like they all die a few days after i bring them home. So we went into this store and I really like the store. I bought some fish from her and they are still alive. Becky is one of the nicest people I've meet. She knows everything you need to know about fish. I'll for sure be getting my fish and all the stuff for our tanks from her.

I highly recommend Becky, the fish lady. I had the best experience and got the best service ever. She is very knowledgeable and very helpful. She is truly passionate about what she is does and is even more amazing at doing what she does. Such a big hearted and kind person. Won't do any sort of fish shopping anywhere but here. Totally worth my hour and a half drive.

This used to be a great store. Most times that I have been in the store for the last year or two staff's attention is split between too many directions. It is not uncommon for customers to wait 30 mins - an hour or more. Becky is what I would call old school knowledgeable, and is unwilling to consider newer ways of doing things. She wants to sell customers as much junk as she possibly can, to pad her pockets, rather than letting people add to or upgrade their tanks and equipment as needed over time. She is hard core set in her ways and closed minded when it comes to people having specific fish or decor that she doesn't like, or equipment set-ups that she doesn't like, and especially when people set up their own DIY operations like building their own sumps instead of buying her $400+ ones. This store is about money, not people and not the hobby. This is not only my experience. This is from hearing her talk down to other customers during the long wait times I have dealt with. I won't go back. She comes across as kind until she can't make any more money off of you, and then she washes her hands of you. That's just not the way to treat people. There is a way to let someone know that you disagree with them, without coming across as patronizing and condescending, and she should practice it. It used to be a great place to go. In addition, she has felons (Donald) working there practically running the place and I've been very uncomfortable if she is not there. And one last thing- the prices are way too high. I understand you have to keep the doors open and businesses have expenses, but don't price gouge the people who help to keep your doors open. That is not ethical. I have checked Amazon and Chewy and some of her prices are DOUBLE theirs. I could see her prices being a little bit more, but double?! That's just being greedy.
