The prices are amazing!!! The staff is super knowledgeable and kind. The tanks are beautiful and have a great assortment of fresh water and salt water plants, fish, and food. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned aquatics aficionado, they have something for you there.

Wonderful staff and great variety of fish and plants. The staff was very tolerant of our children and their many questions.

The staff was super knowledgable and helpful at helping me pick some quick growing plants, and they threw in an assassin snail to combat any lurkers. The first two photos were how I threw those plants into my tank. After 6 months, my tank was a jungle (not pictured) so I cut probably half the growth out to trash it, and now I'm ready for it to take over again for a rescape! The plants are now happily pearling again. I would happily shop here again!

I've been in the store multiple times over the last few months and the customer service has been excellent. As a novice to this hobby I've definitely had to lean on their expertise. Excellent selection in store as well!

Quality fish and nice people; Giving three stars because my newly purchased snails and plants ended up having Hydra and now have to deal with this nasty stuff. Definitely a costly mistake.

They have a great selection of fish. Seems pricier than other stores in the area but worth it for the options you can get. I've gotten fish there and had no issues with them after bringing them home.

It has been a long time since I had needed to go into an aquarium store. I was on a mission for some fresh water plants and possibly snails for my children's goldfish tank. The employees were EXTREMELY helpful. First off understanding exactly what I needed, there was no "upsell" attempting and everything was explained for the new floating plants and the two beautiful mystery snails that now inhabit out tank. I would highly recommend Rivers & Reefs for both novice and experienced aquarium owners as it has that small town all our welcome shop feel that's both inviting and educational.

Good place, wish google maps didn't confuse me but we found it in the end. Liked the fish selection, the ONLY store that had the medium sized oscar i wanted, and a cool color too! Very nice staff, asked me if we were doing alright when they had time and answered my questions.

I sent everyone I know here. They help me start my first ever aquarium and I knew nothing! I love that they’re always so friendly and willing to answer any questions. They also keep the place so clean and the plants and fish look amazing!

This place is hit or miss if they are going to be friendly or not. We have been in about 4 times now. We leave feeling like we were not wanted there. It’s a shame because they have a great selection of plants for fresh water, but that may be because they don’t get the traffic in like the other shops in Omaha. We were recommend by a friend that lives half way across the state. While we were impressed by the plant selection, nothing keeps customers away then the feeling your not welcomed. May just be the times we are showing up.

Took the 4 year old to get some fish last week. The guy that worked with us had some good recommendations and they had a good selection of freshwater community fish. It seems like other shops are always sold out of the cheap easy fish. Its been a few days and everybody is still swimming!

The best aquarium store I've been to. The staff all have a general knowledge and they also have specific people that manage specific areas such as plants, co2 infusion, tank space and how to accommodate your fish to minimize stress.10/10 would bang store if store were consulting, adult human.

Love this store the guys are very polite and helpful. I would recommend using this store for salt store needs. I bought my favorite eel here as well.

Come here if you want to get a nice variety of fish from people who know what they're talking about. I'm getting into owning my first fish tank and the team here helped me understand everything as a beginner as well as the step by step process to being successful.Highly recommended!

I was recommended this store by a fellow hobbyist. I definitely gave these guys a shot for setting up my latest tank. I bought accessories, food, fish, plants, etc. I wanted to buy local and support a smaller store but this last experience was bad. When I came in to buy the fish the staff was disinterested, whatever maybe I caught them on a bad day. I took them home and 5/10 fish were showing signs of illness, NBD that's what quarantine tanks are for. However when I called to get med recommendations I was greeted by the owner, he was dismissive and could not care less. Needless to say I wish I'd spent my money elsewhere.

Our favorite aquarium store in Omaha. Knowledgeable staff who were patient and took the time to help my family set up our first tank.

Nice selection of fish. Some employees have more knowledge than others. My fish died because one employee said he would be fine in my tank, the other employee said he never should have been in my tank. Live n learn. Pretty sure there was some extracurricular socializing going on in the back room. Smelled like it anyway.🤨

Anyone that needs great help starting a tank they are awesome.They couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant when my kids wanted them to pick the brightest fish in the tank! So a big thank you and would highly recommend Rivers & Reefs for any one with a tank.

The staff here are wonderfully knowledgeable, helpful, and relatable. I enjoy going here every time. Their selection of freshwater fish is great, and if they don't have what you want, they'll order it in. They take great care of their livestock, and I've got fish from them in my tank that I've had for years. They truly care about the animals, and they genuinely want to help whenever I come to them with a problem in my tank.

One of the better fish stores I've been to in town. Honestly end up going there for all of my fish stock. I have severe anxiety and these guys make it a very welcoming place and don't make me feel bad for not asking for help right away or having stupid questions. Their tanks are always extremely clean and their fish look fantastic. Not a single creature I've gotten from there has had problems plus one worker was willing to sex crayfish for me instead of just grab whoever to add to the bag.

Amazing selection. These guys have fish I've only read about and even fish I've never heard of. I've been in the hobby 8 years, been to 20+ LFS and this place has been my favorite. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, great healthy looking livestock, cool tanks. No ich, no dead fish, tons of plants. Definitely a true hobbyist built this place, and it shows. Would give 6 stars if I could.
