AI image by LocalRankSingapore's fishkeeping scene runs from sprawling arowana and koi farms out in the countryside to compact neighbourhood tanks and polished aquascaping studios. The best aquarium shops in Singapore each lean somewhere different, whether that's rare livestock, planted-tank design, marine reef systems or everyday tanks and equipment. This guide rounds up ten established, currently-operating stores, each checked against its own website or listing. Treat it as a shortlist rather than a strict ranking.
1. Qian Hu Fish Farm
Qian Hu is one of Singapore's largest ornamental fish operations, farming, importing and exporting fish from its site at Jalan Lekar. The company says it has traded ornamental fish since 1988 and distributes to more than 80 countries, with a dedicated arm breeding Asian arowana, the prized 'dragon fish'. Beyond livestock, its accessories division supplies tanks, filtration and aquarium equipment, and the farm doubles as a spot hobbyists and families can visit.

2. That Aquarium
That Aquarium is a long-running retail chain with four outlets, in Clementi, Tampines, Yishun and Changi, making it one of the more accessible fish shops on the island. It says it has served beginners and enthusiasts since 2002, stocking a wide range of freshwater livestock, aquatic plants and everyday aquarium products, along with crabs, lobsters and crayfish. The stores lean towards community tanks and planted setups rather than a single specialism.

3. East Ocean Aquatic
East Ocean Aquatic pairs a physical store on Havelock Road with a full online shop, covering freshwater, marine, planted and pond setups in one place. It describes itself as an online aquarium shop for fish tanks and aquarium supplies, and also offers professional aquascaping and tank-maintenance services alongside livestock, plants, equipment and home delivery. That breadth makes it a useful single stop for hobbyists comparing several tank types.

4. Aquatic Avenue
Aquatic Avenue is an aquascaping-focused store near Redhill MRT, backed by an online shop, that centres on planted tanks and custom aquascape design. It describes itself as a store that integrates aquascapes, livestock and accessories, and stocks tissue-culture plants, shrimp and invertebrates plus CO2, lighting and filtration gear; it is also listed as a local ADA distributor. It runs custom design and installation projects rather than only selling over the counter.
5. Green Chapter
Green Chapter is a planted-tank and aquascaping specialist on MacPherson Road that describes itself as a 'nature workshop studio' for the design, build and care of living ecosystems. Alongside aquatic plants, hardscape and substrates, it builds custom aquariums, terrariums and paludariums, and runs hands-on aquascaping workshops for adults and children. Its focus sits with planted, natural-style layouts rather than fish-only tanks.

6. Madpetz Aquatic Studio
Madpetz Aquatic Studio is a marine specialist that describes itself as an established aquarium retail shop focused on live corals and marine-related products. It is an authorised retailer for tank and equipment brands such as CADE and Red Sea, and offers professional setup services for reef aquariums as well as retail supplies. The marine and reef focus sets it apart from the mostly freshwater neighbourhood shops.
7. Clementi Florist & Aquarium (C328)
Clementi Florist & Aquarium, widely known as C328 after its Clementi Avenue 2 block, is one of Singapore's most established neighbourhood fish shops, trading since the mid-1980s. The compact shophouse packs in tropical fish, aquatic plants, feeder foods and everyday tank supplies, and is a long-standing fixture of the Blk 328 Clementi cluster of aquarium stores. It sits firmly in the community-fishkeeping camp rather than being a boutique or farm.

8. Aquarium Iwarna
Aquarium Iwarna is a breeding farm and retail outlet at Pasir Ris Farmway, best known among hobbyists for freshwater stingrays and Asian arowana. It also carries L-number plecos, oddballs and large predator fish, and functions as a working grow-out farm rather than a polished showroom. For monster-fish and stingray keepers it is one of the go-to names on the island.

9. Max Koi Farm
Max Koi Farm is a dedicated koi farm out at Neo Tiew, in the Kranji countryside, that says it is the largest of its kind in Singapore. It focuses on koi rather than aquarium fish, and says it imports stock from Japanese breeders and sells koi food, treatments and pond-keeping supplies. Set around large outdoor ponds, it caters to pond hobbyists and welcomes visitors to view its fish.

10. MADSHRIMP
MADSHRIMP is a specialist shrimp and nano-tank store in the Gambas Crescent area, with both a physical boutique and an online shop. It concentrates on Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp alongside nano fish, plants, snails and shrimp-specific feeds and equipment, and displays its AVS livestock licence. That narrow focus on shrimp keeping sets it apart from general fish shops.
How to choose
- Decide what you are setting up first: a farm out in Pasir Ris, Sungei Tengah or Kranji suits arowana, stingrays, koi and other large or specialist fish, while a neighbourhood shop or aquascaping studio is better for community tanks, planted layouts and nano setups.
- Inspect livestock health before buying: look for active fish, undamaged fins and clean tanks with few dead fish, and ask how recently the stock arrived and whether it has been quarantined.
- Match marine versus freshwater expertise to your tank, since a reef and coral specialist stocks very different equipment and livestock from a planted-tank or general freshwater shop.
- For plants and aquascaping, check the range of species, hardscape and consumables such as CO2, substrate and lighting, and whether the shop offers custom design, installation or a CO2 refill service.
- Confirm the shop is a licensed fish retailer under NParks' Animal & Veterinary Service if you are buying live fish, and ask what after-sales support, equipment warranty and advice it provides for new setups.
