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.

Awesome!

Easy to use, clean and beautiful

I made a switch from gravel to controsoil and it has been such a rewarding change for me. I especially noticed how my shrimps love to graze and forage around the tank more. (They usually hid in a corner all day). And I LOVE how clean the soil is. I was worried the water would be murky for the next few days but it cleared up within and hour or two for me.

Sad looking fellow

Paying over $100 for a single “premium” beta would be fine if it didn’t look like spent his life in a washing machine

Red Ludwigia Plants

Purchased some Ludwigia Super Red from Splashy Fish and very happy with the purchase. They were healthy and free of any snales or other critters. Will buy more plants from Splashy Fish again. They have a great selection!

Healthy and Gorgeous Pleco

Another outstanding purchase from SplashyFish, which is quickly becoming my go to local fish store in the DMV. The marble sailfin pleco that I purchased is healthy and looks striking in my planted tank.

Healthy snails, however 2 of the six we ordered were definitely not purple like the rest

Great tank

Uni is a great tank brand!!

Happy Healthy Betta!

Splashy fish never disappoints when it comes to quality, healthy fish and plants! The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone.

Great Betta Arrived in Perfect Condition!

My betta was delayed by a full day due to UPS, so I was worried about his condition. However, he arrived in great health and has been thriving ever since. He's incredibly friendly, lovable, and I've completely fallen for him. I’m so glad I chose this betta!

Ricefish

Medaka is common & hardy fish in Asia, however it's fairly difficult to find where we live, so it's wonderful surprise that Splashy Fish has them, and not one but three different types. We bought 6 for our small pond, and they are lovely. Splashy Fish has friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable staffs. Will visit again.

The order was really good and healthy with some large snails, however 2 of the 6 i ordered were tan and not purple like the others, either way a good experience

I enjoy shopping at Splashy Fish. They offer lots of assistance and expert opinions.

Beautiful healthy shrimp

I received beautiful and healthy blue dream shrimp from Splashy Fish. Another great buying experience!

Great shrimp 🦐

This style has a wide variety of freshwater shrimp. I bought some neocardinias and they are doing great in my tank. I also got a mystery snail and he’s doing great too. Highly recommend this store. P.S. also got guppies here on a previous trip and they are all happy and healthy also.

Beautiful guppies!

A couple of weeks ago I visited the store which has some wonderful display tanks! I bought a red dragon guppy and it has been healthy and doing well! These are such beautiful guppies!

Skittles

Love the colors and variety. Needed to add some color back to my skittles tank. Beautiful healthy shrimp, you can’t go wrong with Shrimp from SplashyFish.

Love my shrimp

Purchased Blue Dream Shrimp a week ago and they are beautiful and healthy. I picked them up at the store so can’t comment on shipping. Great store with knowledgeable employees and a nice selection of nano fish and shrimp. This is by far my favorite aquarium store!

Perfect fish & delivery

Came super quick and my fish was in very good condition! He recovered very quickly and he’s been super active and healthy. Everything was communicated well, I will definitely be buying my fish from here from now on
