Tropical Exotics

My wife and I are just getting started in saltwater aquariums and have been going around to a lot of different stores doing our research and getting our setup done and dialed in correctly for our upcoming livestock when we come across this store. Upon entering the store we can tell they are definitely new but even with all of …

The reptile section is amazing and there is huge variety of freshwater fish!

Absolutely amazing pet store. Very informative with any questions you have- a beautiful selection of fish and plants and more. Really is my favorite pet store and honestly the only one I trust getting any fish or reptiles from. They truly care about the well being of the animals.

I've never had a single issue with any livestock purchased from this shop. Best part? They offer a 7 day guarantee on their livestock sales.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The saltwater section is clearly the focus and is awesome, but they still have a solid freshwater selection. Even bettas in real tanks not cups!

My partner and I came out here for some lizard supplies and also to check out the fish. The store is stocked with basically everything you could need and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Best of all, all their bettas were in proper filtered and cycled tanks and all looked extremely healthy :)

Highly recommend! Staff are all amazing. So many great selections. All size fish, reptiles and live plants.

Highly recommend Tropical Exotics. Staff is highly knowledgeable and helpful. Vee specifically has helped answer many of my questions regarding how to properly care for my angel fishes. The staff in general felt very welcoming overall and the inventory they had on the floor was amazing and I could spend hours looking at the various fishes, corals, etc.

Thanks to the Tropical Exotics team! Sam, Seth, Shane (I forgot a few, sorry!). I initially came out here from MD b/c it is the only location in the DMV that is a partner store for Aquarium Co-Op (has some of their products). But Sam’s knowledge, humor, and understanding made it a great experience. Everyone was great, kind, helpful. Beautiful, …

Very nice fish store with a huge selection of saltwater, freshwater, and African cichlid fish. I have never seen a coral selection like this place has. Good prices on tanks too, they can order whatever you want. Helpful staff. Good selection of aquatic plants as well.
