About Us

Welcome to AZGardens.com (a.k.a. Arizona Aquatic Gardens) — our family farm and a little slice of aquatic heaven in the desert. Since 1987. Serving Commercial, Agricultural, Zoological, and Residential customers in the USA. We’ve been raising and shipping farm-raised live tropical fish, algae-eating shrimp, snails, crabs, and aquatic plants straight from our farm to your door! We also raise koi, goldfish and mosquito fish for vector control and residential prevention of Mosquitoes. We offer more colorful aquarium favorites than you can shake a net at!

We’re not just fish people; we’re solution people. We specialize in natural, organic methods of algae control and water management — no chemicals, no shortcuts. From backyard ponds to zoological exhibits to livestock troughs, our consulting and management services have helped customers across the U.S. create healthy, thriving ecosystems.

• Aquatic janitors: algae-eating fish, snails, shrimp, crabs, and even lobsters to keep your tanks sparkling clean.
• Pond fish: koi, fancy goldfish, gamefish, minnows, and mosquito-eating fish.
• Aquatic plants: for aquariums, wetlands restoration, lakes, ponds, and zoological projects.
• Eco-solutions: beneficial microbial bacteria (think probiotics for water), mosquito control, and natural algae management backed by 37+ years of hands-on experience.

We don’t just sell fish — we raise them with love, feed them by hand, and personally pack every order with TLC. Think of us as your fish-obsessed family down the road.

Beyond the Water

Here’s the part that surprises people: our farm isn’t only about aquatics. We also raise a menagerie of rare and endangered animals used in the zoological industry, including:
• Birds & waterfowl: East African crowned cranes, Currasows, Perching ducks, Whistling ducks, & other Ornamental waterfowl. Plus exotic ornamental pheasants, peafowl, and more.
• Exotics & hoofstock: red kangaroos, camels (yes, both dromedary and bactrian), capybaras, ostriches, rheas, emus, llamas, alpacas, Fallow Deer & Nigerian dwarf goats.

Who We Are

AZGardens is truly a family operation. It started with 4-H back in eighth grade here in Tucson and has grown into a seven-day-a-week labor of love. My wife and I now raise our four kids on the farm, teaching them responsibility, empathy, and respect for all living things.

We’re also proud children of U.S. Air Force families, raised on values like integrity, hard work, and dependability. We don’t take shortcuts. We don’t take vacations. We do take great care of our customers.

When you order from us, you’re not just buying fish. You’re supporting a family that hand-packs hundreds of orders a week, works sunrise to sundown, and genuinely cares about helping you succeed with your project.

How to Reach Us

We’re here 7 days a week — most of the time knee-deep in water, wrangling fish or packing orders — so phones can be tricky. But you can always reach us through the Contact Us link at the bottom of our site, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Our Promise

At the end of the day, our mission is simple:
Turn your aquarium or pond from ordinary into extraordinary.

From our family to yours — thanks for trusting us with your water, your fish, and your dreams.
