Shop All Fish

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 Brooklyn 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.

Getting Help

If you have any questions about your aquarium, don't be afraid to ask. Our knowledgeable store partners can help you select the right aquatic life for your tank, offer advice for keeping your fish happy and healthy and provide tips for those who are just starting out.

FAQs About Aquatics Department Fish Aquarium Supplies

Yes. Petco locations throughout the U.S. offer live fish, from bettas and tetras to mollies and zebra fish. Many varieties of freshwater fish come in an array of colors, making it easy to customize your aquarium's look and feel. We carry an array of species from aggressive and semi-aggressive to schooling fish, so you can find the right fish to fit the size and style aquarium you want. First-time pet parents often choose to take home a betta, as they are beautiful to look at and make a great species for those getting started with aquarium keeping. In some states, we also carry other types of aquatic life, such as live plants and invertebrates.
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.
Yes, most Petco Pet Care Centers carry saltwater aquatic life and accessories. While not typically recommended for new or inexperienced fish parents, saltwater aquatic life can make dynamic and rewarding pets. Aquarium keepers looking to enhance their aquascapes will find options from butterflyfish to tangs, along with accessories suited specifically to saltwater aquatic life. We offer a wide variety of foods, water treatments and conditioners, supplies, décor and more so you can help your aquatic life thrive.
We do. Live plants are often an important element of an aquarium; they help filter the water and make your pet feel at home in a more natural environment. Choose from aquarium plants of various sizes and shades to create a pleasing aquascape and provide your aquatic life plenty of places to rest or explore. We also carry options for aquarium plant care, like fertilizers, supplements, CO2 kits and aquarium lights.
Yes, we sell 100% aquacultured and maricultured corals that have been raised in aquariums and tropical-based coral farms instead of collected from the wild. At Petco, we are strongly committed to the protection of marine life and want you to enjoy aquarium keeping without worrying about environmental impact.
Live corals are fun and interesting additions to aquariums and come in many shapes and sizes. Expert and beginning aquarium enthusiasts can choose from a range of corals that fit their level of knowledge. We also carry décor sculptures that mimic the look and feel of live coral.

Thoughtful Employees

The employees here have always been so welcoming and receptive of my dog. We come usually once a week to train by ourselves to be comfortable around other dogs, so many of the employees have become familiar faces. Everyone has been respectful of my dog's space when trying to say hello and making sure to not cross boundaries. Sabrina in particular has always been very patient with my dog every time we see her, and gave her time to approach for pets, which she finally did today! Not only that, but Sabrina helped diffuse a situation in which two larger dogs were barking and lunging at mine in a moment we couldn't safely exit. She happily gave my girl more treats and scratches when we came back inside to end on a good note. I apologize for not knowing other employees' names, but everyone here has always been very kind and respectful!

I recommend this pet hospital

Office is small but very clean. Staffs are nice and helpful. Veterinarians are care and professional.

Doggy2022-07-06

Unnecessary charge of medication

I was offered medical shave for my dogs I was charged for pre medication for medical shave before they give an appointment. My dogs were able to be groomed elsewhere, therefore it was not really necessary for medical shave

uncaring not animal professionals just cashiers

I just went to the so called Vet clinic this morning to try and get them to look at my cat that had blood in his urine this morning. The false eyelash receptionist informed me "they are by appointment only booked till July" I understand but this is urgent I said and miss not an animal professional but a dressed cashier said no I could not speak to a doctor there no she would do nothing for me. That they are not a hospital but a clinic. I said my regular vet on vacation is a clinic but he would have given me a fit in for a matter this important. But miss false eyelash is the final word. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PET!! DO NOT GO TO THEM!!!! the worst I've ever been treated at a so called Vet Clinic

Puppy training

I booked the 6 week personal training package for my little dachshund Clyde. We just had our first session with Rich and It was AMAZING. Rich is a super nice guy and very knowledgeable. He gave me a bunch of great tips on how to effectively practice with my dog at home and my little guy picked up on the commands immediately and had such a fun time doing It. Rich was SO great with my pup and was also wonderful with my 8yr old son who tagged along, they became best friends in 45 minutes lol. I can’t wait to do more training with Rich and am really excited to see my pup progress more. Thanks for being so kind!

Amazing employee

I stopped in for my usual cat stuff and grabbed a bag of cat litter because I had the car. I'm almost 9 months pregnant and Tennile carried it to my car for me. I didn't even ask, she did just did it. I was so incredibly touched by this act of kindness! What an amazing person! Petco is lucky to have her!

Grooming

This morning I contacted Petco grooming at 9:24 am this morning. The girl that arrived refused to take my call because she said she had 6 more minutes before she starts I was calling because I was at work and someone else was bringing my dog to get groom. Eventually I spoke to someone to move my time up to 12:00. I’m a teacher and couldn’t answer my phone when my dog arrived it was 12:36 she refused to take him because they were late. When I spoke to the girl I told her that it was hard for me to answer my phone which after I see that she called several times. This girl was so unprofessional and nasty on the phone she should not be there if her attitude nasty. Her supervisor needs to look into how she talks to the customers it’s all uncalled for. Never again at this Petco !!!
