Live Art Aquatics

Came in from out of town checking a few pet stores. This store had extremely friendly staff and a great variety of aquatic stock! They had very fair deals on some equipment too! Looks like they take a lot of care with their animals especially the ones they breed themselves! Will definitely recommend and visit next time!

Stopped in while traveling too look around met the new owners as I was told extremely nice people very knowledgeable and excited to be doing what they are doing wish I was closer so I could come by more often and be able to get something for my kids awesome people keep up the good work

They have a great selection for salt and freshwater fish. The employees have been a great help. Also the special order system is amazing.

This place has a really nice selection of aquatic life, and it all is clean and very well taken care of. I watched them feed a blue-spotted sting Ray and a cow fish, super cool. I'd feel safe buying here for my reef.

Have gotten some fish and things to set up my new tank. The employees were knowledgeable and very personable.

I absolutely love them I buy all my fish there they have a really good special order list as well plus free water checks

I got a few axolotls from here, and they are happy and healthy. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer questions that I had regarding care. Definitely going to be coming back

We came to this store a few months back when we bought our new home that came with a 200g tank. Never owning a tank before we had a lot of questions. The first day we went in was Wednesday when the owner has the night off but we eventually were helped by her parents. I love that it's a family shop and we loved the selection. They got their freshwaters in that day so it just worked out. They had us bring in a sample of our water to test and even came out after hours to look at the tank. We ended up getting about 25 fish over the next few months. Until a couple days ago when our tank sprung a leak. We saved all the fish and had to transport them back. She offered to hold onto them until we got it sealed but to do so was too much for us
We are now going to get a bearded dragon but won't stop stopping by to get our fish fix. Maybe someday we'll get a smaller tank but I appreciate her and all the help she's been. Never knew I could enjoy and come to love my fish so much💗🐡🐠

This place is great they've got such a big selection on saltwater and freshwater fish I'm a beginner as far as having an aquarium goes and they have given me so much advice. I've never had a bad experience with them anytime I go in there to get more water for my aquarium. I think these people are pretty great and it's the only place I go for fish.

We just purchased our first home that came with a 200g tank!! Shelby and her family have been beyond amazing helping us newbies with it all! We now have over 20 fish and are in love!!! Now it's our only fish store for any needs. Highly recommended. She checked our levels and even came to our house to look at our tank set up for free! They always care for their fish and it shows. I need more tanks so I can have all da fishhesss!!!

I was truly blown away by this place! The fish are diverse and seem happy and well taken care of. Every person working was cleaning a tank or feeding a creature while I was there. It ended up walking around and looking at everything for a while before buying any fish. The place was welcoming and the people working were helpful and friendly. I am looking forward to going back.

Super helpful staff. We love our fish we got there and enjoy going in and looking at the fish they have when we can.

This place was awesome! Not many places in KC sell black worms its awesome that they have them. Really nice selection of aquatics and really good prices

Tons of livestock, fresh and saltwater. If you are looking for something you can't get anywhere else, shop here before ordering fish or invertebrates online. A turtle pond in the back of the store keeps your family entertained.

Family owned and operated.

Buy your dry goods elsewhere. That's NOT their forte. They expect dissatisfied Pet-x store customers.

People here are very friendly and helpful. I have learned a lot from staff. I enjoy coming in here even when I'm just stressed to check out the different fish. They also have tons of different plants and succulents. She is very reasonable in price on everything and helps support local breeders. This is my go to for fish and plants.

Super friendly and patient with us . Setting up our first tank I think we've been in 3 times in 2 weeks needing help.. always willing to take the time to answer our questions

they have great selection here and if they don't have what you want in stock, they will order it for you. They have clean tanks. All the fish I have bought from here have been healthy and of good quality. The employees are very polite and knowledgeable about fishkeeping. there customer support is great and fast you can ask if something is in stock, or if they can order it for you, and they will have an answer for you in under a minute. So overall I only have good things to say about this place.

This place has been amazing with helping me with my fish problems both fresh and saltwater. The staff is very intelligent and informative. I always feel like they are trying to set up me and my tanks for success with their recommendations. I highly recommend them.

This is the best fish store ever. The owner is awesome. All of her employees are so nice and willing to answer any of my questions. They don't rush you. I do not live in Independence but I drive out here just because of how awesome the people are, how clean the tanks are. If a fish could be happy her fish seem happy and healthy.

Just went to this place for the first time today, and I was truly impressed. There was a wide selection of live plants, which is what I came in for. One thing that really made me happy was seeing that they don’t keep their bettas in cups, but rather their own little tanks. The tanks were all clean, healthy and beautiful. I had to wait for service just because they were so busy but then they gave me one of my plants free —which I wouldn’t have minded too much anyway to wait— but it’s a great touch to show they really care about their customers and want everyone to have a great experience. Definitely coming here every time I want something related to my tanks. Loved it. You guys are awesome!
