I bought 2 Angel fish for $20 each and they both died the 2nd day. It had nothing to do with the water as my other fish are fine.

This business is outstanding. Highly recommend going here and only here if you're in the area. Had a terrible experience at its local competitor.

Visited Saturday morning with my 4 year old son. Ostensibly, the trip was for me to buy some aquatic plants, but I knew my son would love looking at the fish while I browsed. And he did love it--as well as the two sweet kitties that live in the shop. I was impressed with the selection of invertebrates--I saw pom-pom crabs, golden clams, many many types of crawfish/crayfish, including CPO dwarf ones. I was very tempted to buy one of each of the tiny inverts but I reminded myself that I should go home and research tank compatibility first! Instead, we bought some cabomba and moss balls.It seems that they only have freshwater specimens, which is fine with me, but I'm pointing that out in case saltwater enthusiasts stumble upon the listing. Lots of tank gear too--though the shop is so tiny and crowded that you should plan to do all your research beforehand rather than reading package descriptions while standing in the aisles.I will definitely be back! (But maybe not with my son because he wanted to buy all the goldfish.)

MA has a ton of variety from plants to fresh water fish. At one point it was my go to shop for freshwater needs but in most recent visits i’ve noticed a rise in sick fish. Unsure what’s going on but if they’re able to change that, they will become the best shop in nyc once again.I would recommend if fish are being treated for an illness to have that clearly indicated for customers to see. Because we al understand, fish get sick and letting us know - goes a long way especially if they are still being sold.

It seems like the owner cannot handle any sort of constructive criticism they recieve from these Google reviews. Decided to pay a visit to the store to buy some fish and find out if these reviews are over exaggerating. They’re not. Most of the fish are in bad shape and the customer service is horrible. Wont be surprised if the owner replies to this making up a random scenario and making theirselves look good.Edit: While the response the owner gave to this comment seems polite and profesional, they did write “So what’s your story” beforehand. The behavior coming from the owner in these Google reviews is just a reflection of the quality of the store itself.

I had a truly disheartening experience at this aquarium supply store. While they did have exotic fish, their living conditions were appalling. The tanks had barely enough water, and the turtles were crammed into a small space. I witnessed one turtle cannibalizing another, which was both sad and horrifying. Many of the turtles seemed too small to be sold. I'm going to contact the proper authorities about this, and there were even free-roaming cats in the store to control the obvious mice issue in the bottom aquarium room. I'm giving this review 3 stars only because lower ratings seem to be hidden, and I want everyone to see this and the pictures.

Wide beautiful variety of fresh water tropical fish And all the accessories that you will need to go with them. When you go if they're busy take time to go downstairs and explore the basement.

Was a decent place; a couple of fish looked at me funny (could have been the ich). Not many nano species, would've been nice to see some (healthy) tetras and a few different flavors of livebearers. They restock on Sundays btw.

The guy working there provided inaccurate information on fish compatibility which led to a lot of fish dying in the aquarium. No one asks you if you need help until you approach and flag them down. The employees are just glued to their phones with their head down. Won't be coming back.

Awesome store. I only go in to buy a couple nano fish or small plants once in a while, but it's so cool to see all the giant creatures they have. I guess people are buying them!I will say, though: They get very busy. They probably won't have time to answer every question you have, so you should do your research beforehand and know what you're looking for when you go in. If it happens to be a slow day, then you can ask them their thoughts on whether watts per gallon is an appropriate metric for lighting or whatever lol.

Amazing variety of freshwater fish and invertebrates, plants and tanks. They also carried parts of filters that I wasn't even aware that were sold besides with the kit you bought. The variety of shrip and crabs are fun just to see, and the fish are amazing too.
