Aquatica Tinley Park

We had an amazing experience at Aquatica Tinley Park! Joe, the owner, was extremely polite, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to help us choose the perfect 120-gallon tank and made sure we understood everything we needed to get started. The store is very clean and well-organized, with a great selection of tanks, fish, and supplies. You can tell Joe truly cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Whether you're new to aquariums or an experienced hobbyist, we highly recommend checking out Aquatica Tinley Park. Thanks again, Joe.

I had a fantastic experience ordering from Joe’s store. The delivery was right on time, and everything arrived exactly as described. Joe was responsive, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. Definitely go back, he has lots of section of African Cichlids.

This use to be the best fish store around. I’ve been coming to Aquatica for 13 years and something has happened because it’s simply not the same. Most of the fish are sick and scratching themselves against rocks, the corals look terrible, half the store is freshwater now which wouldn’t be a bad thing if the plant display wasn’t cloudy. Use to be a great store sad to see what it’s become, will not be coming back.

One of the best Aquarium Shops I've been to. The place is very clean and well organized. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. As soon as you come in they have amazing saltwater displays with lots of corals and different types of fish. The one thing you can't miss is the huge SHARK tank/pond. By far that's my favorite feature I love it and as well as my kids. Prices are also very reasonable. They have all types of fish, invertebrates and corals which is amazing. They have sharks, stingrays, eels, and all types of rare and exotic fishes. The tanks are immaculate, very well kept up, clean and no dying fish unlike other stores that just leave them there. I love how they have a whole sections of saltwater and another for freshwater. They jst opened up another room with tanks for sale and

Ever since Snaggletooth Goby bought Aquatica and switched owners it's been on a steady decline. After my visit today it will also be my last visit. The tanks were dirty, including the plant tank near the front of the store and the saltwater tanks, and many of the fish didn't look in the best health. As well as prices for the livestock being way higher than others in the area. They also now only have one small tank for coral frags, seeming to focus more on the freshwater side of things. For the duration of my about 20 minute visit not a single employee acknowledged me. Seeing the condition of their tanks in the store are I wouldn't take any advice they have, because it seems they don't know what they're doing. It's clear the new owner and employees don't have a passion for the hobby.
