Live Fish

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:

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:

Invertebrates and Other Creatures

Live Plants

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.

Supplies and Equipment

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.

Hard-to-Find Items

If you're looking for something that isn't available at your local Reno Petco location, we have endless aisles online featuring every product that our chain has to offer. We have literally thousands of items that can help pet parents keep their aquariums running smoothly, whether you have a 50-gallon tank or a small betta bowl. Even if we don't have what you want, we can help you find it. For items that aren't commonly carried in our stores, our store partners can place special orders online to help you find what you're looking for.

Petco does accept unwanted fish. If you have a healthy freshwater fish you can no longer care for, you can bring it to your local Petco for donation. It is wise to call ahead to check if that location is able to accept a fish donation at that time, as they may have limited space available for donated fish. Before you choose to adopt a fish or group of fish, make sure you know everything involved so you are fully prepared to care for your pets. If you are unsure whether a fish is the right pet for you, take a look at our Freshwater Aquarium Guide Link Opens in New Tab for tips and insights.
Petco guarantees returns of freshwater aquatic life inside a designated time frame. For 30 days, you can receive a full refund for freshwater fish purchased in our Pet Care Centers. All fish should have a properly established habitat; a receipt is required, and we recommend providing a water sample with your return. By testing your water, we can help check if your tank is ready for another fish, or if it may need some work to prepare it for a new fish.
Fish and aquatic life purchased on petco.com are guaranteed to stay alive for 7 days from the day they arrive at your home. If this is not your experience, we will refund your money to the original form of payment. For returns on online orders, you must contact Customer Service (1-877-738-6742).
Due to the more delicate nature of saltwater aquatic life, we do not offer a guarantee. If you have questions about returning aquatic life or other purchases to Petco, please see our Easy Returns Link Opens in New Tab guide.

Store purchase.

I tried several times to order on line and pick-up, but received a message it was not available at North Town store. I went inside, and was able to get what I needed. On-line is a lie.
