Living water, impeccably kept.
Custom aquarium design, installation, rental, and ongoing maintenance for private residences and commercial spaces across Southern Ontario. Freshwater and saltwater, cared for by a specialist who has kept both for decades.
Brighten Your Space
With Life
A well-kept aquarium is one of the most extraordinary things you can put in a room. It's alive. It moves. It changes. And when it's right, water crystal clear, inhabitants thriving, chemistry balanced, it commands attention in a way no piece of art can.
When it's wrong, it collapses fast. Saltwater reefs are unforgiving. African cichlid systems demand species knowledge, not just chemistry. Planted freshwater displays require an eye for aquascaping and an understanding of photosynthesis, COâ‚‚, and substrate that most maintenance companies simply don't have.
Zoo Concierge Co. brings four decades of hands-on aquatic experience to every engagement, from the initial design consultation through to the monthly visit that keeps everything exactly as it should be.
Decades of hands-on aquatic expertise, Jeremy has kept saltwater predator reef tanks, African cichlid systems, planted freshwater displays, and a broad range of tropical and specialty freshwater species. He previously owned and operated Fish 'N' Lizard and has provided professional aquarium installation and maintenance services to residential and commercial clients. He is an active member of the Hamilton & District Aquarium Society.
Three ways to work with us
Custom Installations
We design and build your aquarium from the ground up, concept, aquascape, equipment selection, livestock sourcing, and full setup. You end up with a thriving system, not a tank that needs rescuing six months later.
Ongoing Maintenance
Scheduled visits to keep your system performing at its best, water chemistry, glass cleaning, filter servicing, livestock health monitoring, and equipment checks. Every visit documented.
Tank Rental
A living aquarium in your lobby, boardroom, or reception area, without the ownership overhead. We supply, install, and maintain a curated display suited to your space and brand. You simply enjoy it.

"A thriving aquarium doesn't happen by chance. It's the product of chemistry, biology, patience, and an eye that knows the difference between a fish that's healthy and one that's three days from a problem."
