Vicious Fishes is locally owned and operated by a professional aquarist with a lifetime of experience in the aquarium hobby.  Tim Cummings and his qualified staff have been servicing the Coachella Valley's aquarium and pond needs since 1991.  Tim is a contributing member and is currently serving on the Board of Directors for the American Marinelife Dealers Assocation or AMDA.  AMDA and it's members are advocates for increased awareness and setting environmental standards for the ornamental fish industry.

Vicious Fishes offers a complete range of aquarium and pond design services to provide you with the aquatic feature that fits both your lifestyle and price range.  We also offer a comprehensive service program to ensure complete satisfaction with your new aquarium or pond.

Browse our coral reef and fish aquarium pages to view some of the many different styles of aquariums and cabinetry available.  There are many styles and brands available to use for your new aquarium system.  Vicious Fishes never compromises quality to design your aquarium.  We only use the finest products, state-of-the-art filtration equipment, and the highest quality materials in all the systems we design and install.  For built-in aquariums we offer custom cabinetry and remodeling by experienced and licensed contractors, of course we are also happy to work with your architect, contractor, or interior designer to create a functional and beautiful aquatic habitat.  Our work philosophy for providing superior products and livestock prevents us from leasing such items.  We strongly believe that our customers should not settle for previously used equipment and/or mediocre fish.

Pond design and construction is no different from the aquarium design method.  Only the highest quality materials and products are used to create a water garden that is both efficient and aesethic.  Browse our pond pages to view water garden ideas.

Vicious Fishes also specializes in diagnosing and "fixing" problems you may be having with your exisitng aquarium or pond.  Let's face it, not all aquatic companies are the same and many times you have already invested time and money into a project that is not working out with another company.  We can handle this for you and get your aquatic feature where you would like to see it.  If it is salvageable we will help re-design your system, if it is not we will tell you up front before you invest any more effort into your project.

We supply a full line of aquarium and pond products, food, and livestock at competitive prices.  We offer delivery on your service date and also have a showroom where you can pick out livestock if you choose.  We import new livestock regularly and offer a wide slection of healthy, hand-caught and captive propagated saltwater fish, invertebrates, and koi.  All livestock is quarantined for seven days and is guaranteed thirty days for service customers.

We also guarantee your complete satisfaction with our services.  Aquariums and ponds are what we do for business; this is not a sideline job.  Because we don't operate a full retail store we can focus on the needs and desires of our customers.  If you have an emergency, we get to you fast- usually within an hour.  We have a twenty-four hour paging service available for after hour emergencies for all our service customers.

We hope you enjoy viewing our website for ideas for an aquatic feature for your home or office.  Please note that all pictures and fish close-ups are actual clientele and not pictures from books.

Call (760) 347-8717 or e-mail us to make your appointment for an in-home design consultation at no charge or visit our showroom by appointment only.

Thank you for choosing Vicious Fishes to service all your aquarium and pond needs.
