About Fish remains the best LFS in the state for freshwater fish IMHO. This sentiment comes with many other aquarists’ agreement. They have a large loyal customer base created over many years. How does a store maintain a fan base? Consistency of service along with a variety of livestock. Healthy fish, vibrant plants, and diversity of dry goods also play an important role in creating loyalty. The photos below will illustrate some of the amazing stock About Fish has.
Find the store at 7236 N Federal Blvd #700, Westminster, CO 80030, just south of I-36. They’re open 10-8 Wednesday and Thursday, 10-6 Monday, Tuesday and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday they are open 11-5.

Here is what I don’t care for at this LFS, long narrow access to the tanks, age is showing despite new paint and deep cleaning, and prices can be high on certain items. Taking advantage of the sales on the newsletter helps greatly with easing the sting on the purse strings. What I love about this LFS is the service and level of expertise they bring to their customers. The livestock choices are diverse and abundant; for example, I’m amazed at not only the numbers of Discus they have, but the variety as well. I didn’t count the tanks with Discus but will guess it's about 10. The fish selection ranges from neon tetras to arowana and sting rays. They have the best cichlid selection in the state, even compared to LFS’s who specialize in cichlids. I visited on a Thursday so the place was very well stocked, but I can assure you that by Sunday afternoon the selection will be greatly reduced. The plant section empties out rather quickly come the weekend.
To see all the beautiful fish they have, drop in and give them your support. If you’re on a LFS crawl, this store should be at the top of your list. There are many more updates coming on the LFS around Denver, as well as those on the Western Front. Stay tuned!
