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. Splashy Fish's mission statement is Splashy Fish strives to provide our customers with proper knowledge, the highest quality, the most sustainable live freshwater fish, freshwater shrimps, aquatic plants and premium fish foods, highest quality aquarium supplies, and fish tanks accessories to keep your friends happy & healthy.

We offer knowledge blogs that we focus on Beginner Guide to start and maintenance the aquarium to advance level with care guide for specific type of fish. We hope that these knowledges will help our customers to learn and provide your fish a proper eco-system and happy life. Splashy Fish will continue to develop and hopefully we will have a YouTube channel that can show our customers in person all the knowledge.

Fish Food!

I would highly recommend the daphnia culture that was provided as an alternative! I had been moving away from Omega One on the saltwater side of my endeavors, but wanted to give this a shot. Unfortunately, the pack I received is to expire this April. Still 5/5 for the customer service and the live food source. During this trip, I was also able to select an amazing betta fish that I am to pick up next week! Thank you Victoria and Splashy Fish team, I look forward to more visits to this shop:)

Moss balls were falling apart on day one. Ask for an exchange and the store owner wouldn’t allow it.

Great selection for freshwater fish and plants

This was my first time visiting Splashy Fish to get a new fish for my daughter's freshwater tank. They have a great selection of betta fish, shrimps, freshwater fish and plants. The staff is also very helpful. I can recommend this store if you look for a fish store in the area of Springfield, VA.

My favorite color variant

I purchased 5 mystery snails of different colors and there’s something special about this jade variant. All snails are healthy and very active they have made themselves right at home in my 2+ year community tank.

Extremely healthy plants

I got two Nana Petite a long with other plants that looked great in the store and they have been flourishing in my tank at home. Their selection is great and the employees are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

In store purchase “kedagang mini round tissue culture”

The fissure culture is amazing and was in amazing condition when I went in store to check it out. Not only that but the staff are extremely friendly. I was lucky to have their associate Ben help me out. Everyone there is very knowledgeable and I will definitely be purchasing plants here in the future!

Good healthy selection

The plants I got are all doing well in my tank. Thanks.

Prettiest fish ever!!!

Great fish store

This place is great. I was so tired of buying fish at big box stores with their unkempt tanks and lack of staff.

bought five last weekend. the staff at splashy fish were awesome! wanted these shrimp to help with hair algae (we are working on lighting and nitrate levels too). but after the long acclimatization process and putting them in the tank, I haven’t seen them since! no idea if they made it. pretty expensive for the disappearing act :P

Beautiful and healthy loaches that are thriving in my tank a couple weeks in.

Growth Envy Protein Shrimp Food - My fish seem to enjoy them

I've only have a few shirmp so I have seen them eating the pellets yet, but my Corydoras like them a lot. In fact, I've seen all my fish nibbling on these pellets and one time or another.

Beautiful Fish!

Our fish arrived in great shape! He was feisty within an hour, swimming around his tank with a zest for life!!
We named him Casper, and he looks just like he did in the picture. We love him!!

little butterfies

They’re cute! They’re a bit shy but I only picked up 3 so that may be due to a smaller group size. They are doing well and are healthy though!

Guppy

They always good quality!!!
