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.

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.

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.

Jade Mystery Snail
Jon Fetterolf
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

Kuhli Loach

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!!!

We Love the Cholla Wood

It floated for a week or so and then sunk to the bottom of the tank! It looks great in our tank. The fish seem to be happy with the wood as well.

Active and healthy!

I was able to select two young females, though larger adults were also available. They adjusted immediately to my cooler temperature tank and are thriving!

Hillstream loach

I got a hill stream loach to replace one that died when we moved. We have two in the tank and they are my favorite fish to watch. They remind me of stingrays. They move around even the tank and it’s fun to play find the loach. Sometimes they hang out together but most of the time they are separate.
