Austin Aqua Dome

Won't return. We purchased 9 fish from AquaDome for our new fish tank. We already had 5 fish in it with plenty of room for more. Sadly the tetras we purchased had Ick and the Angel fish had some sort of bacterial infection that then got passed around to all our other fish. Only 1 of the AquaDome fish survived. When talking to another fish owner they said that this had happened on several occasions from the Tetras they purchased at aqua dome. Everyplace will test your water for you, so that isn't a real selling point for me. They were nice enough when they sold us the fish, but I don't like having to worry if they are healthy or not. Petsmart got us turned around and we saved all the fish we purchased there along with the 1 remaining from AquaDome. Cool place, but just for looking not for buying.…

Be careful... Some of their decorations turned my tank yellow, and I spent $120 on freshwater aquarium decorations. It's not obvious to a beginner that driftwood would have to be soaked beforehand so that it won't turn the tank yellow, and since I was asking them about using it, this is an important piece of information to mention. Also, they will give you really bad advice about fish which contradicts common knowledge of freshwater experts. They just want to make a sale. I would be really careful getting stuff here, they can ruin your first aquarium.…

Love it!!. After visiting another local, south Austin aquarium supply store yesterday and being totally creeped out, the Austin Aqua Dome was a breath of fresh air. The staff was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. All the tanks were clean and the fish were happy and healthy.

I would highly recommend shopping here, and I will definitely go back myself.…
