Well, it seems I may have a new favorite business in Tyler. Walking into the Exotic Fish store is almost like visiting a scuba shop where the reef is brought indoors. This new store seems like something one might find in a costal Texas town rather than somewhere this far from the Gulf. They have an incredibly beautiful selection of fish in the most vibrant colors found this side of the beach. Tyler’s Exotic Fish carries an amazingly diverse selection of species; including all the usual fresh water varieties, as well as specialty fish like rays, eels and even, (from time to time) small sharks.
As someone who has enjoyed owning aquariums off and on for years, I know a little about the hobby; the people at E.F. in Tyler know a lot. They offer a tremendous selection of all things aquarium related. They sell fish tanks of nearly every shape and size and can help the customer install either a salt or fresh water aquarium in his or her home or office. The store also sells accessories like coral, stone and various plants. And fish are not the only interest here. The Tyler Texas store has a section for exotic reptiles as well including lizards, snakes and more.
Due to the fact that this is a specialty shop, expect to pay more. These are not the four for a dollar variety one might find at Walmart, but the fish won’t be dead by the time you get them home either. The folks at the Exotic Fish store are actually experts who can offer help and advice to anyone with just about any question about up keep of their tanks.
A visit to this store is an event whether or not you intent to buy and it’s actually an educational experience for the kids who will be mesmerized by all the fish. Check out Tyler’s Exotic Fish store at their new location on the loop across from Jack O’ Diamonds.
