About Us

Blue Thumb Retail Store is now proud to serve Saginaw, Midland and Bay City residents with top notch aquatic pet supplies. We’ve been a locally owned, family business here in Saginaw since we started cleaning aquariums for commercial offices in 1992. Blue Thumb is best known across the United States as a top manufacturer of pond and fountain equipment and supplies. After our move in 2019, we decided to get back to our roots of indoor aquariums.

“Aquariums were a passion of mine growing up as a child. So much so that I started Blue Lagoon Aquatics as a senior in high school cleaning aquariums at doctor offices after school.”

Owner - Kip Northrup

We carry aquatic pet supplies for everyone from the beginner goldfish owner, to the advanced coral hobbyist.
