Blue Ridge Aquatics is locally owned and operated and opened in 2025. 

 

Our mission is simple... to provide happy and healthy freshwater and marine fish along with natural aquascaping supplies right here in the Shenandoah Valley. ​​ ​​​​​​​​​Live aquatic plants, sustainably aquacultured corals, premium rimless tanks... oh my!​

What makes us different ?​​​

​​

​​​

Quarantined fish

All fish in our sale tanks have gone through a lengthy quarantine process before being available for sale.  As additional security,  all of our store's sale tanks are separately filtered as opposed to one central filtration system through them all.  We deeply care about the lives we care for and choose to only source from reputable breeders and suppliers who, like us, are dedicated to a higher standard.  While we can't guarantee complete immunity to nature,  we go to great lengths for the animals in our care.

The local aquarium store is calling... and I must go

The fun doesn't stop here, there is a lot to do in historic downtown Waynesboro!  Within a stone's throw of Blue Ridge Aquatics, you can walk, bike, kayak, or fish the South River on the Greenway Trail,  grab some awesome local food and drinks from one of the many locally owned restaurants downtown- all while planning your next tank(s)!
