Great aquariums start with great people.
At Something Fishy, our team is the foundation of everything we do. From designers and installers to aquarists and service technicians, every member of our team is selected and trained with one goal in mind: delivering an exceptional aquarium experience for our clients.
Our hiring and development process focuses on expertise, reliability, and professionalism—so the people working in your home or business are individuals you trust and enjoy having in your space.
Whether your aquarium is 30 gallons or 30,000 gallons, our team brings the same level of precision, care, and attention to detail. The result is one of the most refined aquarium design, installation, and maintenance processes in the industry.
Behind every beautiful aquarium is a well-designed process.
Our operational systems are built around efficiency, consistency, and quality control. From how our technicians are trained to how equipment is prepared – every step is designed to create a seamless experience for our clients.
These processes allow us to deliver:
healthier aquatic environments for fish and coral
reduced equipment failure and long-term reliability
faster response times for service requests
consistent quality across every installation
We also prioritize sustainable fish and coral sourcing and environmentally responsible practices, ensuring that every exhibit reflects our commitment to responsible aquatic stewardship.
Our aquariums are built to the highest standards in the industry.
Because a large portion of our work takes place in healthcare environments- where hospital-grade plumbing, electrical, and life-support systems are required – we’ve chosen to bring that same level of quality to every project we build.
The systems, materials, and technology used in our aquariums are often far more advanced than standard consumer aquarium equipment. This commitment to quality has allowed our team to collaborate with leading institutions and organizations.
Clients who trust Something Fishy include:
Yale New Haven Health
Mystic Aquarium
Foxwoods Resort Casino
The State of Connecticut
Jordan’s Furniture
and many more.
These long-standing relationships reflect the trust our clients place in our team, our process, and our work – and we look forward to building the same partnership with you.
