Hello xlinzixx,
The first thing you should do is to know is there a market for it in your area. perhaps that is why there is no such shop in that area. If you really want to open the shop there then, you might want to know how you can create the need for people living in your area.

I would start off by doing a lot of research on the care of those aquatic pets. Like, tropical fish, for example, you need to know what levels of salt water, etc.
Here are some links:

Also, here is a snippet from an article I came across:
Tropical Fish and Aquarium Rentals
Gigantic profits can be earned by starting a tropical fish and aquarium rental business, and best of all, this very unique enterprise can be set in motion for less than $5,000 and managed right from your home office. At this point, I'm sure you're wondering exactly who would rent tropical fish and an aquarium? The list is very long, and if you think about waiting rooms, the list of potential clients can include doctors, lawyers, restaurants and business offices. Once a regular client base has been established for this business, the annual profits could well exceed $50,000 or more.
