I have been shopping at Richard's stores for decades. I shop at this store because the owner is one of the most knowledgeable experts in this area of this particular Hobby. They have to Source their fish direct from exporters in those countries and they are all in most cases extremely rare. They are not responsible for the condition of the fish when they arrive. Many customers come in have no idea what they're doing don't ask questions the fish die wrong pH wrong food wrong transition to new tank and the list goes on. I have been in that store when customers have come on to the owner like a bull in a china shop. Inexcusable Behavior and personally if that happened to me I would tell them to take a hike also. It's very simple if you're kind and respectful you will get the same thing in return every time. I like this store I like the owner I like the people that work there and support him he works very hard to continue a business and Supply some of the rarest fish to the Hobby nationally. We very experienced people with decades in this Hobby all support this owner and The Business this is not your standard aquarium shop. I really like the store and always have never a problem only solutions to my questions.

Beltway Aquarium is by far the best fish store I have ever been to. Beltway Aquarium is my go to spot for rare/unique fish, advice and supplies! Not only do they have a fantastic selection of rare fish and supplies but their prices are very reasonable! The owner Richard is very knowledgeable as is his wife Robin and the younger gentleman working there. If you are a experienced and knowledgeable aquarists seeking rare and or unique fish this is definitely the place to visit! Beltway Aquarium will most definitely continue to have my business!

This place is a "puppy mill for fish"! I have always supported small businesses, but rarely am I compelled to write a review. I am an avid fish lover/keeper but his is one shop where I will never spend money. I drove 30 miles to see this place. The fish are beautiful, but there were often no names or labels - other than price. The staff was not only unhelpful, but quite rude. While I didn't see any birds mentioned in other reviews, the conditions for fish are deplorable, and there were a number of fish with bites and illness. From a safety perspective, I had to watch my step so I didn't trip over random stuff in the tightly cramped aisles. If I could give a lower rating, I would. The owner seems completely concerned with making money rather than achieving a good reputation or establishing customer loyalty. He says to shop somewhere else if you don't like his business practices. In keeping with his advice, I recommend Congressional Aquarium or Eden - places where they actually value customers!

Only place you're going to find exotic fish down here but they are dirty

This place is great if you are an experienced aquarist. They have fish you won't find at the mega mart fish stores. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. I have been getting fish from them for years and have never had a problem. Some of the comments saying that they don't care about the fish because of how some of the tanks look are completely wrong. This is what a REAL fish store looks like! Bottom line if you want a fish you can't find anywhere else they probably have it and you won't be disappointed.
