To someone that knows nothing about fish or tanks, this place was impressive!!

Rolland Stewart

Jacob Stearns

Great place to find all your fish needs. Friendly staff and know there stuff. Has a new owner who cares very much for the health of the fish and coral and is will to answer any questions you have.

Simon Bacon

Great store with a good selection of both livestock and drygoods. Equipment is a bit lacking but if youre looking for a specific item they can either order it or point you in the right direction. Cheapest place in the Metro for frozen food in my experience and always nice staff. Big improvement from a year ago (and previously Aqua Pets), and im hoping for it to continue on the same path. I visit about once every 2 months and theres always changes or something new to see. Whether youre starting out in the aquarium hobby or are a veteran fish keeper, I would say start you search here.

Jeff Ott

The puppies are great, the people are nice to.

Shawn Jones

Nice, small independent fish store.

EdgyIntrovert

Best inventory. Best staff. Very knowledgeable and super eager to help. Because lets face it... keeping things alive in any aquarium is hard and we all need help!

Samantha Beers

I’d been dying to finally go in this store and I was truly not dissapointed, beautifully taken care of tanks and knoweldable staff. I think I might’ve spent a good 45 minutes just enjoying all of the stock. I’ll recommend this place to anyone who is interested in the hobby.

Nathan Smith

Great staff and great store. I will always be a loyal customer. They sure know everything about the aquatic world!!

Justin Johnson

Awesome shop!

Jimmy Francis

My favorite Omaha fish store knowledgeable staff both fresh and saltwater very willing to help you. Definitely cheaper than other Omaha fish store. They are not big chain store they have or can get any fish or supplies you need. They also often have used accessories and fish tanks. They also do trades on fish. They changed hands recently but new owner as good as old n some old staff still remains.

Kaleb Epic

One of the better fish stores I've been to in town. Honestly end up going there for all of my fish stock. I have severe anxiety and these guys make it a very welcoming place and don't make me feel bad for not asking for help right away or having stupid questions. Their tanks are always extremely clean and their fish look fantastic. Not a single creature I've gotten from there has had problems plus one worker was willing to sex crayfish for me instead of just grab whoever to add to the bag.

Jacob Martinez

Livestock is well-cared for. Coral is thriving, much healthier than other local stores. Staff is great and try to work out things for you as a customer. Hands down best store in Omaha.

Damon Ransom

Helpful smart dude i met knew his stuff was real kool. I will be a repeat client for the forseeable future. Great store freshwater or saltwater.

Ray Wollberg

Stopped by today, they have nice looking stock and the prices that were posted seem to be fairly competitive. But a lot of the stock wasn't priced that I could tell. The store itself is still kind of shabby but not the worst I've seen. The staff said hello, but otherwise ignored me, so I couldn't say how friendly or knowledgeable they are.

Joe Sexton

Alot is of cool fish.

Karisten Krucke

Very knowledgeable and best 0pace to go for questions

Kevin Jones

Always terrific service when I go, these guys really know and love fish.

Timothy Harbeck

Looks like they are trying to revitalize the store after buying from the old owner. Hope all goes well for you all you been friendly even when was aqua pets.

Ryan Yates

Fun small store with knowledgable staff.

jordan knapp

Great store, awesome selection, and will find you those hard to find fish you special order. I am a rainbow fish guy and the quality of the rainbows are spectacular, especially compared to chain stores, not even comparable! We travel all the way from Lincoln just to buy fish over our LFS.

Chris Dowell

Visited this saltwater reef store while I was in town visiting. Great store run by a very nice young man. Staff was very helpful. They have saltwater and freshwater fish.

I live in Lincoln....i went to this place and it is 100 times BETTER than the fish stores in Lincoln! More variety for saltwater fishes! They carried a variety of fish and live corals that the stores in Lincoln (ive been to EVERY ONE) didnt carry! Wasnt that hard to find especially with google maps (if you dont have it, then its time to come out from under ur rock lol jk). Staff is extremely helpful and informative!!! From now on, this MY go to fish store. Worth the drive

Wade Carpenter

Great staff great inventory

Izzi Za

Extremely helpful people they awnsered way over the amount of questions then I even asked!

Paul Merz

Such a friendly group of knowledgeable staff. A great bunch of guys that will have a conversation with you about the hobby. A very old school vibe. Their stock is varied and in excellent condition. The store is a bit older and not easy to see from the street, but dont let that dissuade you from a 5 star stock and experience!

Phillip Power

You don't get more experienced, knowledgeable people than you do at Rivers and Reefs. Staggering selection of salt and fresh water fish. Very professional displays and set ups. Great living Rock and coral selection that they grow on site. If anything else, go for the experience! Update since my last visit- they have REALLY upped their freshwater tank game. Tons of love plants and biotopic tanks. Gorgeous selection of discuses and Oscars. Gentleman helped me pick out some goat shrimp for my son and he was kind, attentive, knowledge and helpful. The leg this place has up on Fish Freaks is GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

JR. Hernandez

I like how honest the guy working there was, he didn't try and sell me fish when he felt like i was at my limit considering the size of my tank ,and the fish i was considering.

LordTrashBoat

The tanks have lots of algae and the store itself is very dirty.

Shayne Alexander

Wonderful staff - great customer service and advice on how to care for my fish!

Cat d. T.

Love this place, the guys that run this shop know their stuff, and they get in some really rad fish!

Daniel Klco

Best store for personal service. Good overall selection without the over the top prices compared to others in town! Great job

Rebecca May

The staff here are wonderfully knowledgeable, helpful, and relatable. I enjoy going here every time. Their selection of freshwater fish is great, and if they don't have what you want, they'll order it in. They take great care of their livestock, and I've got fish from them in my tank that I've had for years. They truly care about the animals, and they genuinely want to help whenever I come to them with a problem in my tank.

Jason Lemkau

Great fish store

aaron napper

Julie Bowen

Very friendly, and have excellent prices, and very well educated

Robert Lewandowski

Like these guys, knowledgeable & friendly

James McAllister

If you buy fish from them and they die even less then 24hrs with a proven good water sample from your aquarium You will not get any refund.which is B.S I bought over $120.00 worth of fish in a week's time frame.And if NICK is working just turn around and leave

Draven Sanctus

Very knowledgeable staff great selection of fish.

Catherine di Tomasso

Great selection of specialty fish

Clay Caylor

David Leslie

They have been very helpful with my salt water and never once told me wat I have to do asked wat would I like to do and have set up Avery nice tank all the way I wanted

Tom Stearman

Good prices, staff could be a little more friendly. The store is older and is small but the coral selection is good with good prices.

Ernie Shear

This place is the BOMB!! They have a wide variety of different fish both freshwater and saltwater. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Their livestock is very healthy and well taken care of. This is one of our "must" stops when we come to Omaha.

Good service from a well informed prrson who cared about what we wanted to know. We bought a Blenny and a coral.

Erick Matzke

Great store

Nathan Magdanz

Great people. Took the time to explain to our child what was needed to set up the tank for the first time.

Ed Kelley

Good place to get fish

Heidi Melvin

Nice selection of fish. Some employees have more knowledge than others. My fish died because one employee said he would be fine in my tank, the other employee said he never should have been in my tank. Live n learn. Pretty sure there was some extracurricular socializing going on in the back room. Smelled like it anyway.

Chelle Hill

Outstanding customer service, that is everything these days !!

Clarice Lisle
