About us

We are an aquarium fish store like no other in the Greater Grand Rapids area! Our staff are all hobbyists or biology majors with years of experience. We have had biology students and graduates from all over the state including Grand Valley State University and Michigan State University. Many have pursued professional zoological positions at local zoos and have had some that have gone on to work at nationally accredited aquariums! Our experience with aquarium fish and reptiles cannot be matched in West Michigan and we have extensive knowledge with all the products we carry. All of our staff is here because they love the hobby, its not just another job for them.

The service company started in 1992 and Blue Fish Aquarium began as the show room, but slowly took on its own roll. The original store was started in 2003, and have moved a couple times with us being in our currently location since 2011.

Blue Fish Aquarium covers all facets of fishkeeping and reptiles with an abundance of knowledge to help the beginner hobbyist, to those who are much more seasoned. Blue Fish has dedicated employees that are here to help with freshwater fish, from rare cichlids and community fish to those striving for the ultimate planted aquarium. Our employees are also dedicated to helping support those interested in coral, invertebrates and unusual marine fish. The saltwater employees are knowledgeable with new and up to date techniques and equipment to help your aquarium thrive! In September of 2009, we opened up our reptile room to the public and now house many different species of reptiles from beginner species to much more advanced species. Over the years, we have hatched and raised approximately 20 different species of reptiles!

During the summer, Blue Fish is known for its pond knowledge. We carry pond plants, koi and goldfish for those that enjoy bringing their hobby outside, or those whose whole hobby is outside. We also carry a full line of pond equipment.

We are an aquarium store like no other in Grand Rapids and cannot wait to help you with all your fish and reptile needs!
