Elegant Reef – Tropical Fish Studio
Elegant Reef – San Antonio's Finest Tropical Fish Store
Elegant Reef will remain open to serve our community and their pets. Business hours will remain the same but are subject to change. At this time we are suspending all off-site aquarium service and maintenance but will begin a delivery service to ensure all clients can maintain their aquariums. We will handle emergency situations on a case-by-case basis.
In order to keep our staff and patrons safe we ask that you please be patient as we are only able to allow 3 customers in the building at any given time. We also ask that anyone traveling in a group nominate only a single patron to enter the building. This is to ensure that all customers and staff can safely maintain 6 feet of distance between themselves and others.
Elegant Reef staff will also be taking orders via telephone and curbside. In addition to curbside we are rapidly developing an online store which will go live today. This is a work in progress and new items will be added daily. The store can be accessed using the navigation menu at the top of this page or by clicking here.
We also ask all patrons to purchase only what is needed. Our supply chain is strong and we are not expecting any shortages. Please do not horde consumables. Stay strong, we will get through this together!

Covid-19 Update
Dear valued customers,
We are all going through some unprecedented times today.
During this time The Studio will remain open with regular business hours.
In an effort to keep our customers, staff, and their families safe we are taking steps to prevent the transmission of Covid-19. We are disinfecting sales counters and all common points of contact at The Studio. We do ask for your patience as we keep our occupancy level at 10 or less, including team-members, as per Governor Abbots Executive Orders.
Should you only be shopping for specific supplies such as food, filter cartridges, ro/di & premixed saltwater, etc and wish to remain in your vehicle we would be happy to take your order curbside and bring your items directly to you.
We understand that for many of us our aquariums provide an outlet for stress in our lives. We pray that your aquarium provides relief during this trying time.
Keep hope and faith alive, we are all in this together.
Sincerely,
The Elegant Reef Family
