About

Tom and Aletha Lang

Tom and Aletha Lang met in the spring of 1980 while 18-year-old students at California State University, Fresno and together began Aquarius Aquarium that summer with one aquarium maintenance client – Medical Dental Pharmacy – which was just a quick hop over the wall behind Tom’s parent’s house (pretty convenient!). Tom had previously worked in aquarium stores as a teenager in Minnesota, but it was Aletha who encouraged the idea of creating a company that would serve its customers with a far more personal and hands-on service business model.

Today, even after hundreds of client installations and thousands of scheduled maintenance visits and fish deliveries for aquariums of all types, shapes and sizes, the company philosophy is still about that personal touch. Whether a free-standing freshwater planted tropical aquarium in an office waiting room filled with beautiful fish or a custom built-in re-creation of a saltwater coral reef in a private residence in cooperation with licensed contractors, Aquarius Aquarium, Inc. has the years of expertise to help you acquire (and maintain!) the aquarium of your dreams.

And, by the way, we still have our very first client – Medical Dental Pharmacy – even though they’ve moved a few times since Aletha and Tom first hopped his parent’s wall all those years ago.
