Do you remember owning a goldfish in a bowl when you were a kid? Well, let me tell you there is a whole world of fish beyond that....and it is amazing!

We are crazy about fish at Pet House!  We have the widest selection of freshwater fish, aquaria, plants and supplies anywhere in Santa Barbara.  We do not carry saltwater fish, because of the difficulty in maintaining a healthy fish population, and we do not support the loss of so many ocean fish just to supply the hobby.   However there is a wonderful world of freshwater fish which can be just as exotic, colorful and amazing....and safe for the fish.

We are fortunate to have a great source for our fish, who continually supplies us with unusual and beautiful species which thrive in a tank environment.  We bring in fish from all over the world and often can provide special orders for hobbyists.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to educate the customer about all aspects of fish-keeping. There are so many options today for easy-care tanks, filters, etc. that keeping fish is a fun experience for the entire family. We can help you set up a little tank for your child’s bedroom all the way up to a gigantic system as a showcase in your home.  A beautiful tank full of colorful, healthy fish is a wonderful, peaceful addition....a living, changing work of art.

Let us help you discover which fish you like....and I guarantee you before long you will be talking to your  fish tank inhabitants just like any other pet.
