Aquatic Dog

Visitors should know that Aquatic Dog specializes in both standard aquariums and nano aquariums, offering a range of fish, invertebrates, and supplies tailored to these systems. The store supports freshwater environments with a focus on stable water parameters and compatible species. Staff are available to assist with setup, maintenance, and species selection based on tank size and care level.

Aquatic Dog carries a selection of aquarium fish, including species such as bettas, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, danios, guppies, and plecos. These fish are available for community tanks and are supported by appropriate water conditions and compatible tank mates. Staff can assist with species selection based on tank size and care requirements.

The store offers support for nano aquariums, which require careful attention to water stability, stocking levels, and equipment efficiency. Customers can find appropriate fish, shrimp, and invertebrates suited to small volumes, along with compact substrate, hardscape, and CO2 systems. Staff provide guidance on maintaining balanced ecosystems in limited space.

Shrimp such as Neocaridina and Caridina species are available, known for their vibrant coloration and algae control. These invertebrates require stable water conditions, low ammonia and nitrite levels, and a mature, fully cycled tank. Staff can advise on tank compatibility and care routines.

Freshwater fish available include bettas, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, danios, guppies, plecos, and discus. These species are suited to a variety of tank sizes and conditions. The store emphasizes compatibility, water parameter needs, and proper acclimation practices to support long-term health.

Koi and pond fish are available for outdoor and larger indoor systems. These species require specific water conditions, ample space, and seasonal care. The store provides guidance on pond setup, filtration, and compatibility with other aquatic life, supporting long-term pond health.

To prepare for your first visit, bring measurements or photos of your tank, stand, and electrical outlet layout. Write down current livestock, recent water-test results, and equipment model numbers. This helps staff provide accurate recommendations for upgrades, maintenance, and species compatibility.

Freshwater shrimp are sensitive to ammonia, nitrite, and temperature fluctuations. A mature, fully cycled tank is essential. Perform gradual water changes with matched temperature and remineralized parameters to reduce molting stress. Avoid copper-based medications and certain tap-water conditioners that can harm shrimp.
