About Splashy Fish

Splashy Fish was founded in 2020 pre-pandemic by Nguyen Le. Nguyen has 10+ years of experience in freshwater aquarium specialized aqua scaping design, breeding betta, and guppies. Before founding Splashy Fish, Nguyen bred bettas and guppies as a hobbyist and sell them to local customers and ship them to out-of-state customers to cover some cost of breeding. He wants to take his hobbyist to the next level and decided to sell all his aquariums and started this business as a side hustle business. Splashy Fish was originally sold on the E-bay platform to gain customers. Once the pandemic hit, everyone stayed home and the interest in the hobby grow. Nguyen then quit his cooperate job and focus on Splashy Fish full time. Nguyen self-designed the website, partnering with local breeders and international breeders to source the highest quality of fish and aquarium plants.

Splashy Fish started in a garage with 10 aquariums of 10 gallons, later grow to 1000+ gallons aquarium store and continue to grow bigger. We only put one species of fish per tank to ensure proper quarantine process, care and prevent unwanted cross breeding.

Perfect additions to my tank!

Went into the Splashy store and left with more than I intended! It was incredibly stocked with THE most beautiful healthy dumbo guppies I’ve seen in the area. Got a few along with a bunch of neon green tetras that have all settled wonderfully into my tank! The shop associates were all so knowledgable and kind. Shout out to Allan who helped us out! He really knew his stuff! I’ve checked out quite a few local LFSes and this is the best by far. Already planning my next haul!

Healthy, beautiful fish!

I’m a bettas lover. The fish that the large chain stores sell, almost always end up with a tumor or some other genetic problem. For me, I will only order from Splashy Fish. I want my bettas to be healthy and live a long life. I couldn’t be happier with my bettas from here.

First Time Online Betta Fish Order

My existing Betta fish expired after 2 years. I decided to investigate online stores. I was a bit apprehensive for many reasons. My biggest concern being, getting a healthy fish delivered to Wisconsin from long distance during winter months. I decided to give it a try. I ordered a Giant Betta (GB 48). It arrived on Feb. 2, 2024. There was a one day delay. I was a little nervous about a transit time of 2 days in cold temps. Splashy Fish Team was very supportive and assured me that they consider the distance & weather conditions when packing & shipping my fish. My fish was received in good condition. I followed all of protocol for acclimating my new Betta into the tank. So far, it seems to be going well. I am very pleased with the entire experience. I hope my Betta continues to stay healthy.

Half body white guppy’s

Genetics on these fish seemed very weak. I purchased 7 and they all died within 2 weeks. A proper quarantine in a cycled tank was done. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone! Plus the way they keep their bettas in the store is gut wrenching. Clearly, they’re profit driven and that’s about it. And to top it off the communication through out the purchase was awful! Didn’t let me know when my fish were gonna ship and took multiple days to even get an automated response.

I'm so excited for my Betta Barracks!

I spent hours agonizing which male betta fish to order and I finally pulled the trigger. It was easy to scroll through the various options and the videos attached to each specimen was very helpful. The video helped me pick the five I chose. Thank you

Rare and Awesome Store!

TLDR - healthy fish, clean store, single owner who cares about his craft!

I had almost given up on getting fresh water fish then I was lucky enough to have Splashy Fish open its new retail store close to my home. There is literally no place (that I could find) to get healthy freshwater fish then came Splashy. The shop is very clean and the tanks are filled with awesome, healthy fish. All the fish I have purchased are alive and well. Id give 10 stars if I could:)

Beautiful!!!

First 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.

Love my new Betta !!

This is my second time at Splashy Fish. Nguyen the owner is very knowledgeable and nice and will answer any questions regarding fish keeping. He has a great selection of tropical fish including some I couldn’t find in stores and also loads of high quality healthy beta fish. Can’t recommend this store enough.
