Live nitrifying bacteria are beneficial microorganisms that help to convert toxic ammonia and nitrites into less harmful nitrates in aquatic environments. They are used in both fresh and saltwater tanks to create a healthy and balanced aquatic ecosystem. These bacteria play a vital role in the nitrogen cycle, as they break down animal wastes and plant residues and convert them into usable forms such as nitrate, which is then taken up by plants as a fertilizer. Live nitrifying bacteria also help to maintain water

★★★★★Cheryl JonesGreat experience! The owner is very knowledgeable. I've been specifically looking for a reputable place to buy corydoras, and i found it! They've been very healthy. It's great to know a local place exists with an owner who has a true passion in ensuring you receive the top notch quality you're looking for. Never again will i buy corys from petsmart or petco!!
★★★★★Charles BrooksMy first time of ordering fish online. With it being winter I was a little concerned with the mail. Placed my order late Monday night. I get a text Wednesday afternoon it was shipped. The box was dropped at my door this morning. It was well packaged and the fish were well bagged. I followed the acclimation guide and all is looking great.
★★★★★Jess ValentineI’ve been looking for a variety of fish for my tank and unfortunately, because of the pandemic, many places are experiencing shortages and limited varieties on their normal stock. I thankfully stumbled upon this place by searching online And couldn’t be happier. Nguyen is such a nice and knowledge guy, and was able to get all the fish I was looking for! Fish came quickly and all seem to be thriving. Defiantly will come back for all my fish needs. Thank you !
★★★★★Audra MeyerI received amazingly fast friendly service and beautiful fish. My order was shipped the same day I ordered, which is practically unheard of when it comes to buying fish online. The fish arrived well packaged and were active. They had color and looked healthy. I am very happy with my purchase!
★★★★★Juergen SWent here for a fish and advice on setting up the tank for a young child because the fish in the big pet stores looked unhealthy. The proprietor was as helpful as one could be, answered all our questions and offered great advice based on our needs. The space was small, but he made excellent use of it and you could see all the fish were healthy and active. He even showed us how to train them. He clearly cares for his fish and was just so knowledgeable on every topic relating to keeping fish. Appointment was required. We will definitely be going back for our fish needs.
Let customers speak for us
from 54 reviewsFirst I want to say this shop has integrity! I initially ordered 2 betta for 2 tanks, but Mr. Nguyn called telling me one was not healthy and did not meet his standards to be shipped. His honesty says so much. My money was refunded and per my request the other betta was sent. She arrived carefully packaged, warm, and safe. She is absolutely beautiful and HEALTHY! She is very social, especially at feedings, and adjusted quickly to her new home with lots of plants, 2 cories, a nerhite snail, and a few pearl danios. I WILL be ordering from Splashy Fish again.
My betta fish arrived alive and healthy. He could not be happier. Definitely recommend, especially with their wide selection to choose from.
This is my first time (properly) owning and keeping a beta. the owner was sooo awesome, patient and kind. Fish was in great condition and all of the fish seem well kept! Highly recommend.
Fish arrived when expected, fish was extremely alert and clearly healthy. Very pleased with my purchase.
This guy is beautiful and social. He’s a little on the spicy side, but he’s been so fun to watch. Highly recommend getting a betta from Nguyen!
I got my betta fish and so far it latest 2 months. Very, very pretty and so colorful. Romero is living his life peacefully in his 5 gallon tank although he flares his gills a lot. I rate it 5 stars and I feel that his was a great price for 30$ and would buy again.

I received the king betta as pictured/videoed on the Splashy Fish website and I think they did a great job with packaging/shipment. The betta arrived healthy and perked up in a day and is now doing very well, building bubble nests frequently. Very satisified with my order from Spalshy Fish and I highly recommend them if you're looking for specialty betta you can't find near you location!
A lot of time and thought went into our choice for a betta. Settled on one and was excited to see him in person. He arrived in great condition…packaging was amazing. We followed the instructions to get him acclimated to his new home. All went well. He didn’t eat normally for a couple of days which is to be expected. After that he’s been eating like a champ…flakes, pellets, and bloodworms. His colors are getting brighter and bolder. He’s settled in with his tank mates well….4 tetras and an otocinclus. He’s super active and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
The fish came very fast and was healthy. The fish I received came as discribed in the photos. It adapted to its new environment fast. I am very pleased wih the entire transaction. I would recommend this store to anyone seeking a beautiful fish.

Thought snails were dead, but put them in water and they perked up asap! These guys have grown and thrived so fast! I am about to buy more right now!
Beautiful, healthy, and active fish! Very happy with my purchase!
