New Site Announcement: Aquarium Supplies Review

There are a lot of benefits to having a home aquarium, but those little fish sure do take a lot of upkeep. It’s important to find the best sources for aquarium supplies so you can be sure to get the highest quality for the best price. There are many online stores that sell aquarium supplies, but they aren’t all reliable. TopTenREVIEWS has put together a review of the best online aquarium supply stores so you can find the one that has what you need.

We’ve included a side-by-side comparison of each store with rankings and full reviews. The rankings are based on a few key criteria. First, we compared the various aquarium, fish bowl and tank inventories at each store. Then we looked at the inventory of fish, amphibians and other species. In order to rank highly, a store needs to have an excellent selection of animals and habitats. Next, we considered other accessories, like decorations, lighting, filters, heaters and water treatments.

Besides the inventory considerations, we compared the payment options and security of each site. Even if an online store has an incredible inventory, it’s useless if there aren’t enough secure ways to pay. Finally, we looked at site design and customer service options. Both need to be simple and transparent enough for consumers to use.

After considering all the various factors that go into a good online aquarium supply store, the winner and TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award winner turned out to be That Fish Place. With a name like that, how could it not be number 1? That Fish Place has an astounding inventory of aquarium supplies and a nice search engine to help you navigate it easily. And the customer service on That Fish Place includes six on-call marine biologists who can help you out in emergencies. Read the full review.

The TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award went to Doctors Foster and Smith, a website run by the titular scientists for fish enthusiasts. The biggest attraction of this site is the aquarium supply inventory; it’s huge and we’d be hard pressed to find a site with a larger inventory. The Doctors Foster and Smith site aims to provide information along with supplies, which is why the site has its own television show and instructional videos. Read the full review.

PETCO won the TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award in this review. While the site specializes in all sorts of pet supplies, their selection of aquarium supplies and fish is still extensive. If you’re really concerned about decorating your tank a certain way, PETCO will probably have the décor you’re looking for too. Read the full review.
