Aquatic Pets and Aquariums

What’s the best freshwater aquarium fish combination? What size tank does a pet pufferfish need? Does an aquarium need to have plants? Are saltwater aquarium fish right for me? Uncle Bill’s can answer these questions and help you find the right pet fish or other aquatic friends, along with all the aquatic pet supplies you need to give it a comfortable home.

Best Aquatic Pets for Beginners

Pet fish habitats can range from a simple rectangular tank to nano reef or betta tanks to a saltwater aquarium holding 100 gallons or more. Uncle Bill’s generally recommends that people who are new to maintaining an aquarium choose a fish that’s low-maintenance. Here are some excellent freshwater fish for beginners:
Guppies
Mollies
Platies
*These three types of freshwater fish above get along well with each other, and can live in a large enough tank in same-sex groups.
Bettas
*Smart, showy, but only female Bettas can share a tank since males are aggressive to each other, but male Bettas may share a tank with Neon Tetras.
Cichlids
*While fairly aggressive, some of the most colorful and popular freshwater fish in the hobby.

Other Aquatic Pets

In addition to fish, Uncle Bill’s has a wide variety of water-loving animals:
Frogs
Sideneck Turtles
And Axolotls!
*Our inventory varies by location, so please contact us if you’re looking for a specific type of aquatic pet or stop by an Uncle Bill’s location near you.

Aquarium Care

Uncle Bill’s has everything you’d expect in an aquatic pet store: aquariums, filtration systems, fish food, and more. Our friendly associates can help you choose an appropriately sized saltwater or freshwater aquarium for your pet and provide tips on aquatic plants and fish tank accessories.

Quick tips for freshwater aquariums:
*Avoid direct sunlight to deter algae growth
*Once a week
-Change about 10-20% of your tank water (varies by tank size and number of fish)
-Use a siphon when removing water so you can do it slowly
-Set aside water you siphon off to use when you clean the filter
-Only add pre-treated or R/O water to the tank

Aquariums are great learning tools.

Whether you’re an adult hobbyist or have kids interested in science, building and perfecting an aquarium habitat is a fun and exciting way to learn about nature and ecology.

Aquariums promote responsibility without being too demanding.

Kids (and adults) of all ages can participate in various tasks related to maintaining an aquarium, and they often become deeply invested in the saltwater fish or freshwater fish they select. Aquariums can also be a relatively low-maintenance hobby, which is perfect for busy households.

Aquariums reduce stress and anxiety.

Have you noticed how many doctors’ offices have aquariums? That is not a coincidence! Experts, including the former Surgeon General of the United States, advocate aquariums for their proven health benefits, including reducing blood pressure!

Fluval FX

| Oct 15, 2024

Fluval FX Filtration & Media!

Designed for aquariums up to 400 US Gal / 1500 L, Fluval FX comes equipped with all the power, media capacity and reliability you’d expect from a high-performance filter:
*Patented Smart Pump™ performance-optimizing technology
*Intricate multi-stage filtration with built-in powered water change system
*Basket-in-basket tray design offering massive media capacity

High Octane Power
Known for its strength and durability, FX Series sweeps the tank harder and faster to retain a greater amount of debris, which translates into cleaner water and less maintenance frequency.

Whisper Quiet Operation
A cleverly designed unidirectional impeller incorporates less mechanical joints for reduced noise.

Pump Activity Monitoring
SmartPump employs an electric circuit board to continually monitor the pump. Impeller speed and force are constantly measured to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency.

Auto Start / Self Priming
The SmartPump is also critical in evacuating any air that may build up in the system. Once every 12 hours, the filter will pause and allow any trapped air to escape, which maintains maximum filtration efficiency. "Just add water" and SmartPump will prime in seconds!

Multi-Stage Filtration
FX Series filters feature 2 inset red baskets for greater media capacity and flexibility. As with all Fluval filters, water flows through each media stage in proper order to ensure thorough cleaning. This process is more efficient and effective than some competitive filters, which force water through all stages in one pass.

Seamless Water Changes
The FX4 and FX6 filters feature a multi-functional utility valve to empty the canister and perform seamless water changes without disturbing your setup or tank inhabitants. As an added bonus, two convenient hosing clips located on the filter lid allow for storage when not in use.

With fast, leak-free assembly using its AquaStop Click-Fit valves, a versatile intake system with telescopic stem and anti-clog strainer, twin output nozzles for multi-directional, customized water currents, rubber feet and innovative rim connectors, this filtration system also features a selection of correlating media:
*Bio-Foam filters capture large particles and debris for effective mechanical filtration.
*The Quick-Clear pad traps micro particles for sparkling, crystal-clear water.
*Max-Clean fine polyester pads capture small particles and debris that can cloud water.
*The Carbon bags/pads also trap micro particles and debris while removing odors, discolorations, heavy metals, and organic contaminants.
*Zeo-Carb is a premium blend of research grade Fluval Carbon and Fluval Ammonia Remover. Working together, these highly effective media eliminate liquefied impurities, odors and discoloration, while simultaneously removing toxic ammonia, for a clean, healthy aquarium.
