Washington, D.C.’s favorite fish and aquarium store, Capital Exotic Fish (CEF) is now offering saltwater fish, corals and marine invertebrates!
Our staff has extensive experience with salt water fish, corals, marine invertebrates and the creation and maintenance of healthy ecosystems. From the beginner to the sophisticated hobbyists, CEF is providing the finest equipment, a healthy and robust offering of fish, and highly competitive pricing. Our staffs’ experience working with large zoological aquariums and their reef aquariums ensures that the fish and coral partnering avoids stress, deaths, and any chance for a negative experience.
CEF will provide you with exceptional care, superior maintenance and service plans, and advice for any of your saltwater needs. We are continuing our efforts to stay sustainable and partnering with companies such as Biota and ORA to offer captive bred fish and inverts in our store and limit harvesting impacts in the wild.
Also, all of our bright and vibrant coral, bound to add color/life to your aquarium, is also aquacultured versus collected from the wild to limit the impact on our planet’s fragile reef ecosystems. We carry a large variety of invertebrates along with healthy and colorful fish that can work for tanks as small as 7 gallons or as large as 300+ gallons.
In our new saltwater department, you can see a wide variety of color on our fish. From popular favorites like Nemo and Dori, a clownfish and blue hippo tang, to the enchanting and majestic seahorses; we are bound to leave you in awe with the unique livestock we keep in stock. We also have a strong selection of planted macro algae aquariums. This is a relatively new style for the aquascaping community and CEF carries as many as 21 different species of macro algae.
With CEF’s aquacultured corals, you will be mesmerized by the vibrant color and motion in our frag aquariums. Their hammers, torches and goniporia will almost make you feel like you’re in the ocean feeling the current from the waves as you watch the corals flow in the aquarium waving back and forth.
So come in and see why Capital Exotic Fish is quickly becoming a destination aquarium shop. Customers keep coming to CEF to talk with and learn from our friendly and deeply knowledgeable staff and amazing livestock.
