Acosta's Aquariums

Fish, reptiles, birds & little friends — in Hobbs since the '80s

More than an aquarium store. Walk in for a fish, walk out having met a hedgehog. Come see us on Sanger Street.

The short version

Four decades on Sanger Street have made us Hobbs' little ark — tanks glowing along one wall, reptiles and birds along another.

A lot of folks walk in thinking we only sell fish, and leave surprised. There's someone behind the counter who actually knows which critter fits your home — and how to keep it healthy.

Small & pocket pets

Hamsters, hedgehogs, and other little friends — healthy and used to people. We'll help you pick the one that fits your family.

Cages & habitats

Cages and habitats sized right for the animal, plus bedding and the little things that turn a cage into a home.

From our customers

Why people keep coming back

Decades in Hobbs

Some of our customers shopped here as kids in the '80s — and now they bring in their own kids.

They know their animals

Recent reviews keep saying it: the folks here know reptiles, fish, and how to actually care for them — not just sell you one.

All kinds of creatures

People are surprised by how many different kinds of creatures share the room — and that surprise is exactly what brings them back.
