Hickory Hills Aquatics & Live Fish at Petco

Of course, you can't have an aquarium without any fish—and a few finned friends are the perfect addition to your home. It is best to purchase fish at your local fish store, so that you can see the fish before you buy them and make sure they are in good health. Petco is an excellent choice if you're looking for new pets, since we have locations across the country offering dozens of kinds of colorful live fish. Whether you're looking for a single fish or an entire school, we carry a wide variety of pets you can add to your family.

Beautiful Bettas

Our selection of bettas is one of the largest you'll find anywhere. These beautiful little fish are famous for their bright colors and intricate fins, but they are also an excellent choice for beginning pet parents since they require very little space and maintenance.

Freshwater Pets

If you're looking for other colorful freshwater aquarium fish, we have a wide range of other creatures that make excellent additions to your tank. Some of the many species we have available include:

• Calico fantail and feeder goldfish
• GloFish
• Chinese algae eaters
• Plecostomus
• Neon, serape and red eye tetras
• Mollies
• African and South American cichlids
• Platies
• Danio zebra fish

Some of these fish do well in larger schools, while others should be kept in smaller groups. We'll be able to help you find the right mix of fish for your aquarium.

Saltwater Fish

More experienced aquarium keepers might want to try their hand with a saltwater aquarium. Petco is unique among pet store chains in that we carry a wide variety of saltwater options in addition to our freshwater ones. Our stores have many different types of saltwater aquarium fish, including:

• Butterfly fish
• Clown and damsel fish
• Lionfish
• Boxfish
• Tangs
• Stingrays
• Seahorses

A fish tank can contain more than just fish. Both invertebrates and non-fish vertebrates can be a good addition to your aquatic community. We carry freshwater and saltwater creatures such as anemones, maxima clams, crabs, snails and even frogs.

A live aquarium plant is one of the most popular items to add to a tank, and we have a great selection of plants. Not only do they help filter the water in the tank, they also offer a highly naturalistic environment for your pets to live in. We offer a range of plant species as well as substrate, fertilizers, lighting and everything else you need to keep your plants healthy.

Aquacultured Corals

If you're looking for something a little more exotic than a plant, live corals are an excellent option. We carry a range of corals that are great for beginning and expert aquarium keepers in a variety of shapes and sizes. All of our corals are 100% aquacultured.

At Petco, we are strongly committed to protecting marine life, which is why we sell aquacultured organisms. These are creatures that have been raised in aquarium environments instead of being collected from the wild. Over 95% of our aquatic life, including all of our coral and most of our live fish, is raised in captivity, allowing you to enjoy your fish tank without having to worry about impacts on the environment.

We also offer a wide range of aquarium supplies so that you'll have everything you need to keep your fish happy and healthy. Our equipment and materials include medications, supplements and a wide range of foods. You can also pick up all the water treatment supplies you need, such as algaecides, water conditioners and even salt mixtures for brackish and marine tanks.

Accessories

Make your tank look great! We offer tank backgrounds and a variety of gravels and substrates that can provide a cohesive look in addition to a wide variety of tank décor. Whether you want to create a sunken ship or Asian landscape, we have the ornaments you need.
