The healthiest fish and most knowledgeable and ethical owner in the tri-state area. I drive one hour to get there because I know that its worth it. This place is a gem. Disregard any negative reviews from Karens who can't or won't control their children from putting their hands in tanks. Respect the owner's hours and establishment. You will be rewarded with the best advice and healthiest tanks. Frank Neuber Boyce, Virginia

This is a really cool aquarium store with a good selection of koi, pond and aquarium supplies, and tank fish both fresh and salt water. Not the most convenient location/parking but it beats a trip to a strip mall or big box store. Prices are competitive for the items I've looked at.

As a novice aquarium hobbyist, I struggled finding trustworthy information online about how to properly cycle my new tank, choose suitable tank products and select the right fish that were compatible with each other. After spending many hours online, I continually encountered contradictory advice from various sources which resulted in my growing frustration. When my 20-gallon tank experienced a setback in its cycling progress I decided to seek out professional assistance from Bill at Aquatic Creations Ltd. Bill’s wealth of knowledge and expert counseling proved to be invaluable in dispelling the online misinformation I had encountered. Bill provided clear instructions on the correct tank cycling procedures and recommended the necessary aquarium products to cultivate beneficial bacteria for my tank. If you ever need accurate and dependable information for your fish or aquarium, I highly recommend visiting Bill at Aquarium Creations Ltd. With over 30+ years of experience, Bill is a friendly and reliable source of information.

A few years ago our son became obsessed with tanks and we started frequenting the local stores. Many stores in the area have better curb appeal, but the fish here are healthier than any other store. Period. Don't listen to the negative reviews. We have had negative experiences with most of the other fish stores in the area, including the more commercial ones. After a number of years of doing this, we are pretty discerning customers when it comes to fish and plant health. We highly recommend this store. Look past the exterior and Mr. Bill's gruff demeanor at first. He knows his stuff for sure. Take the time. It is worth it.

My daughter and my grand children wanted to purchase nice koi for me for Mother’s Day to add to our 6500 gallon pond. My daughter asked about the ones inside, larger showy koi and was directed to the outside pots for smaller koi. I have been to this store many times and was always sold what I wanted. We have beautiful healthy pond. Why my daughter was not given the same treatment I receive is not right. I’ll love my 3 little koi the boys got for me all the same. Monica

This is our local fish store, they've been our store since the early 2000's. I appreciate the knowledge they share when purchasing fish and or supplies. The owner cares about the well being of his fish, which is more than you can say about the chain pet stores in the country. We've had much success with our fish and supplies at Aquatic Creations.

Nice old school hobbyist orient aquarium and pond store. It was nice to see a place like this with a professional owner, rather than dealing with a petsmart or other mega store with hourly wage employees who are not very knowledgeable.

DO NOT BUY FISH HERE! We purchased 3 fish here and immediately noticed that they had fungus on their eyes and fins after putting them in our tank. The store is so dark, we couldn't see it when purchasing the fish. One of the fish died less than 24 hours later. We went back to the store and who we are assuming is the owner (Bill), became very nasty and defensive and refused to give us a refund. He was even rude to my 12 year old. He insulted the fungal medicine we use even though the same medicine was for sale in his store. Fish don't develop fungus instantly and die less than 24 hours later. We have a 135 gallon tank and fish that we have had for over 20 years. I am just hoping that this doesn't kill all of our fish. If this were a reputable store, they would have tried to make this right.

We purchased an aquarium, products and fish from this store. Quality, service and advice were great. We're very happy with our fish and the pricing was fair for what we purchased.
