About
Splashy Fish

founded by hobbyist run with a passion

Splashy Fish, born in 2020, is a testament to the visionary journey of Nguyen Le, an enthusiast with over 10 years of expertise in freshwater aquariums, specialized aquascaping design, and the artful breeding of betta and guppies. What began as a personal hobby evolved into a thriving aquatic haven, shaped by a deep-seated commitment to quality and an unwavering passion for aquatic life.

Our Origin Story:

Before the inception of Splashy Fish, Nguyen Le immersed himself in the world of bettas and guppies, breeding these captivating species as a hobbyist. Selling to local customers and shipping to enthusiasts out-of-state, Nguyen covered some breeding costs, fueled by a determination to take his love for aquatics to the next level. In a bold move, he sold all his aquariums, initiating Splashy Fish as a side hustle, and marking the beginning of a remarkable journey.

Pandemic Pivots:

The turning point arrived with the onset of the pandemic, as people sought solace in the beauty of aquatic life while staying home. Seizing this opportunity, Nguyen transitioned from his corporate job to dedicate himself entirely to Splashy Fish. He personally designed the website, collaborating with local and international breeders to source the highest quality fish and aquarium plants.

From Garage to Grandeur:

What started in a humble garage with 10 aquariums of 10 gallons each blossomed into a 1000+ gallons aquarium store—a testament to our continuous growth. At Splashy Fish, each tank houses only one species of fish, ensuring a proper quarantine process, meticulous care, and preventing unwanted crossbreeding.

Our Mission:

Splashy Fish's mission is to provide you, our cherished customers, with more than just aquatic companions. We strive to impart proper knowledge, offering the highest quality live freshwater fish, freshwater shrimps, aquatic plants, premium fish foods, and the finest aquarium supplies and accessories. Our commitment is to keep your aquatic friends not just happy but thriving.

Educational Endeavors:

Navigate our knowledge blogs, spanning beginner guides for aquarium initiation to advanced care guides tailored for specific fish types. Our hope is that these resources empower you to create an ideal ecosystem, ensuring the happiness and well-being of your aquatic companions.

Future Horizons:

As Splashy Fish continues to evolve, we set our sights on new horizons. An exciting development is our YouTube channel, where we plan to showcase firsthand knowledge, connecting with you on a more personal level.

Global Expansion:

In 2022, we embarked on an ambitious journey, establishing a small farm overseas. This strategic move allows us to control our supply chain, particularly for popular species like betta fish, guppies, tetras, discus, and freshwater shrimp. This expansion reinforces our commitment to providing you with the highest quality aquatic specimens.

A Heartfelt Thank You:

To our loyal customers, we extend our sincere appreciation for being part of our small business journey. You are the heartbeat of Splashy Fish, and we are grateful for your role in the success and growth of our aquatic venture. Thank you for being an integral part of the Splashy Fish family.

Looks great

Beautiful Fish

My betta is beautiful and she seems very healthy!

Healthy Crypt

Nice dense pot with about 10 crowns that could be divided. Almost no crypt melt while adjusting to my tank and I see some healthy new growth after just over a week.

Great quality, good price

Shrimp are high quality for a good price. The more you buy the cheaper it is. Highly recommend and will buy more

Amazing Service

The owners were incredibly nice! One of my fish had sadly jumped out the tank and they gave me a new fish! Their store is amazing, totally will be going back.

Female King Betta Fish

Upon arrival, my Betta looked sickly and pale. It has been about two weeks and some of the color came back but the head scales seem to be missing. Her stomach is now very swollen despite recommended servings of food. I would walk past a fish like this in a pet store because she is not very pretty even though I paid $100 with shipping. Can I get credit for another fish? I don’t think this one is healthy. This is my 5th Betta fish and I have another tank with a store bought Betta that is not swollen. Top 2 pics upon arrival. Bottom 2 pics taken today. Please advise. Thank you.

Healthy fish and a unique color. Visit these guys, they know their stuff!

Excellent service and help for us. Don’t miss going there.

Great quality

The staff are super helpful and picked out some berried shrimps for me, vibrant colored young healthy shrimp, love this store so much!

Unhealthy Fish Selection

Buyer beware of unhealthy male fishes. If it's scrawny and its tank mates also do not look that healthy, don't buy it. The fish will get sick days later (outside of the refund time) and die. Females look healthier but the males they sell are sick and not worth the price.

Awesome crabs

I ordered ten fiddler crabs and all arrived in excellent condition. The packaging was exceptional. All of the crabs were in perfect condition. No missing claws or legs. They are all enjoying their 75 gallon crabitat.

Excellent fish, beautiful. They arrived healthy and happy. Thank you very much for the wonderful service.

Thank you for the prettiest fish I've ever owned!

Little Donette arrived safely and looked very lively and not at all sluggish! Thank you Splashy Fish for providing this awesome online ordering service :D

Fish love it

My tiger barbs love it and the krill really colors them up.

Very hardy even in the worst conditions

Plant was dead

The plant itself looks beautiful in the picture; however when I received the plant it was already starting to rot. Due to order issues with items displayed as in stock when they really weren’t was a frustrating 2 month ordeal to get the plants shipped. I did not want to deal with the return process due to not feeling it was worth the trouble. Other plants arrived healthy and are thriving but this one sadly did not make it after planting.
