Aquatic Pets and Aquariums

What’s the best freshwater aquarium fish combination? What size tank does a pet pufferfish need? Does an aquarium need to have plants? Are saltwater aquarium fish right for me? Uncle Bill’s can answer these questions and help you find the right pet fish or other aquatic friends, along with all the aquatic pet supplies you need to give it a comfortable home.

Best Aquatic Pets for Beginners

Pet fish habitats can range from a simple rectangular tank to nano reef or betta tanks to a saltwater aquarium holding 100 gallons or more. Uncle Bill’s generally recommends that people who are new to maintaining an aquarium choose a fish that’s low-maintenance. Here are some excellent freshwater fish for beginners:
Guppies
Mollies
Platies
*These three types of freshwater fish above get along well with each other, and can live in a large enough tank in same-sex groups.
Bettas
*Smart, showy, but only female Bettas can share a tank since males are aggressive to each other, but male Bettas may share a tank with Neon Tetras.
Cichlids
*While fairly aggressive, some of the most colorful and popular freshwater fish in the hobby.

Other Aquatic Pets

In addition to fish, Uncle Bill’s has a wide variety of water-loving animals:
Frogs
Sideneck Turtles
And Axolotls!
*Our inventory varies by location, so please contact us if you’re looking for a specific type of aquatic pet or stop by an Uncle Bill’s location near you.

Aquarium Care

Uncle Bill’s has everything you’d expect in an aquatic pet store: aquariums, filtration systems, fish food, and more. Our friendly associates can help you choose an appropriately sized saltwater or freshwater aquarium for your pet and provide tips on aquatic plants and fish tank accessories.

Quick tips for freshwater aquariums:
*Avoid direct sunlight to deter algae growth
*Once a week
-Change about 10-20% of your tank water (varies by tank size and number of fish)
-Use a siphon when removing water so you can do it slowly
-Set aside water you siphon off to use when you clean the filter
-Only add pre-treated or R/O water to the tank

Aquariums are great learning tools.

Whether you’re an adult hobbyist or have kids interested in science, building and perfecting an aquarium habitat is a fun and exciting way to learn about nature and ecology.

Aquariums promote responsibility without being too demanding.

Kids (and adults) of all ages can participate in various tasks related to maintaining an aquarium, and they often become deeply invested in the saltwater fish or freshwater fish they select. Aquariums can also be a relatively low-maintenance hobby, which is perfect for busy households.

Aquariums reduce stress and anxiety.

Have you noticed how many doctors’ offices have aquariums? That is not a coincidence! Experts, including the former Surgeon General of the United States, advocate aquariums for their proven health benefits, including reducing blood pressure!

ZooMed Labs' NEW Axolotl & Aquatic Newt Items

zoomed-axolotl-and-food Axolotl and aquatic newt fans rejoice - Uncle Bill's has recently brought in ZooMed's NEW axolotl (will be online on our site soon!) and aquatic newt diets, as well as their famous Low Boy tanks!

Axolotls and aquatic newts are carnivores that need a high-protein diet. ZooMed's soft, moist pellets are easy to eat for these amphibians that swallow their food whole, developed by zoo nutritionists specifically for aquatic newts and axolotls:
zoomed-new-low-boy-28s *High-Protein Diet: Made with animal protein sources. No soy protein! *Soft Moist: Easy to eat for these amphibians that swallow their food whole.
*4 mm Pellet Size: Perfect size for larger juveniles and adults.

What's more, ZooMed's Low Boy tanks (now in 28 Gallon and 50 Gallon sizes and for either terrariums or aquariums!) are perfect for a variety of exotic pets. Great grow-out tank for hatchling turtles, tortoises, a variety of other reptiles and amphibians, or Tetras, Goldfish, Angelfish, Clownfish, coral frag growth, and more! These breeder style tanks make nice lagoon style displays, or can be used for axolotls too.

Axolotls are fully aquatic amphibians that live their whole lives in water. When choosing a habitat for them, horizontal space is also more important than a deep water level. ZooMed recommends having the water level at least the same depth as the length of their body. Juveniles could start out in the 28 gallon, and then adults in the 50 gallon size. Between the large surface area of the Low Boy tanks and the species-specific focus of their new foods, you can find a winning combination for axolotl care with ZooMed's new items!

Right now until 9/11/23 you can save 10% OFF ZooMed Labs' select new Axolotl, Aquatic Newt, Bearded Dragon, & Tortoise diets as well as the 28 Gallon Low Boy Tanks for sale at your local Uncle Bill's Pet Centers with your Extra Value Card!
