Calm for Your Space.
Peace for Your Mind.
We set up and care for aquariums so you can enjoy the beauty without the maintenance.
Pet Shop Updates + Info:
There were some unfortunate & unforeseen plumbing issues that have set our timeline back. To be more specific - the building's septic tank collapsed and created a hole in the driveway. Yes, seriously.
Then, a window failed during a storm and we found 2 inches of water in the pet shop. Don't worry - the window is fixed and we got to test it with some recent storms in the area!
The Pet Shop is Opening VERY Soon!
What's Next?
To ensure the animals are ready for you, after we receive them, we have to quarantine them for two weeks. We also need to get occupancy approval from the City for the pet shop. Once that is all ready, we'll set the Grand Opening date and let you know!
Where are you going to be located?
We are inside the 'castle building' on Highway 33 in West Bend, WI!
Address:
Scales & Tails
2311 West Washington Street (Highway 33)
Suite 1
West Bend, WI 53095
We're on the street level, right after you turn into the driveway. Feel free to park by our door, in front of the brown garage doors.
The tanks and enclosures are setup and the inventory is on the way!
Our new storefront offers freshwater fish, reptiles, live feeders, frozen foods and aquarium supplies - all backed up by knowledgeable, local care and service.
Our goal is to create a destination where hobbyists of every experience level can find healthy animals, trusted advice and everything needed to succeed.

Who is behind Scales and Tails?
Hey!
I'm Wyatt, the founder and owner of Scales and Tails, LLC. While I may be a teenager, I am a life-long fan and devoted caretaker of all things fins, fur and scales.
What began as a hobby has turned into a way to help others enjoy the same excitement of bringing a fish tank to life.
This business is all about making aquariums fun and relaxing for my clients. Whether it’s setting one up for the first time or keeping an existing tank healthy and beautiful, I love it. Every tank is treated with care, because the goal isn’t just to set up fish, it’s to create an experience that brings calm, color, and curiosity into a space, for both people and the fish.
Scales and Tails is run with energy, responsibility, and a genuine love for what I do. It’s proof that age doesn’t define what’s possible when you’re passionate and willing to put in the work.
Wyatt
As the office aquarium portion of the business grows, we have the opportunity to lease space in West Bend to open a pet shop in 2026!
