I was there years ago. I do remember that the tanks were pristine. Parking was available on the street. The gentleman inside was very helpful and informative. read more

Avoid this place, do not shop here. They offer no guarantee on their fish and show zero regard for their customers. I spent over $60, and half the fish died the very next day. When I went back to the store they refused to offer a refund or even an exchange claiming their policy states no refund or exchange even if it's 24 hours later, which is ridiculous. Take your business to a store that values its customers and stands behind what they sell. Save your time, money, and frustration. read more

It hurts me to write a negative review about this place. This location is very beautiful, a lot of great fish in stock, plants for good prices and a lot of hardscape to pick from. The employees are nice. However, if I were to ever buy from here again, I would buy anything but their fish and animals. Keep in mind, I've kept plenty of fish and my water parameters and temperature are perfect in every tank. 1. Every single loach I've purchased ended up giving me ich even in quarantine. I've purchased loaches separate online and those didn't have ich at all. 2. I bought a Green Terror that consistently got sick with mysterious illnesses and required care almost every other week from some issue. It eventually died bleeding to death. 3. Severum I bought came with a busted fin that they told me would heal but it never did for some reason. 4. The black ghost knife fish ended up dying within days with no explanation despite being seemingly healthy and ate at night. 5. They bagged one of my loaches in a single bag and didn't check for leaks. The bag was dripping slowly and emptying itself and I had to rush back to the store while the loach nearly died. 6. Bought a group of shrimp and 2 randomly died a day later and they wouldn't even credit me or replace them. 7. Bought 3 trapdoor snails, they didn't move for days and all 3 died fouling my tank. I had to do a water change. It ended up shocking my mystery snails who were perfectly fine before the trapdoors were introduced. 8. Bought a generic sponge filter from them only to find out the interior plastic was cracked due to being poorly made. 9. Bought a school of 20 Neon Tetras and 3 months later, only 9 survived while 11 died of unknown causes. Not a good batch. 10. They sold me a single fish from a small tank where they have misc. community fish in. The worker told me it's a peaceful community fish and is good with inverts. About 2 weeks in, this fish has killed at least 10 shrimps, nipped antennas of my snails, and I discover it's moderately aggressive and needed a school of at least 6. I've supported this business over and over again trying to give them chances because I rather support them than Petco, but this is becoming very stressful, and a lot wasted effort and money. If you come here, buy their rocks, driftwood, decor, fish food, etc. I can't believe even the snails died and they're the easiest to keep in my experience. read more

Not so amazing when every one of your fishes, dies. I'm not sure how this fish store takes care of their fish but my fishes all died in less than a week. They let you walk around freely, without hovering over you or harassing you. They don't freak out when you try to take a photo or go too close to the tanks. There's significant walking space through the aisles. It's really warm in there, decent sized shop but it's way too hot with all the tank's heaters/lights on. But now when it's time to ask for help, very slow and nonchalant service. This is one of the only fish/aquarium stores around the area. I've went to a lot of stores over a few weeks span and their prices here are decent but you can definitely find some better deals and service elsewhere. FYI, there's nothing to be done even if you tell them something is wrong with their tank/fish. No care at all. No questions, tips, advice. Feels like it's just a store to sell the fish and that's all you'll get. It really makes me wonder if they get it from a local breeder or not. read more

Really amazing fish store with very knowledgeable staff. They have a wide selection of fish, with a very affordable price tag. I have gotten most of my fish here and they're all very healthy. Just a great place. read more

This place is amazing! There's a whole variety of fishes, aquatic plants, tank decor, invertebrates, fish food, fish medication and tanks/supplies, The display tanks that were aquascaped are absolutely beautiful. I've been going to Petco for most of the fish supplies or ordering online if Petco doesn't have them. Wish I found this place sooner. Currently two out of three of my tanks are full but I couldn't resist so I brought a premium butterfly half moon betta! He seems to be liking his new 6.5 gallon tank. Thank you. I definitely will be coming back in the near future. Highly recommend to anyone who is into fishkeeping or want to now more about fishkeeping, this place has everything you need! read more

I'm so excited to find an aquarium here in Brooklyn that's convenient and has so many different varieties. They separate the fish accordingly and only with their kind. The fish all looked healthy and active. I got a rabbit snail and some otos. It's only been a day, but they look happy! I'll be coming back for more! read more

All the fish you buy will die. The good yelp reviews here are bought and phony!! The stores fish are all inbred to the 200th generation from a China whosale. The staff is friendly but have no idea how to keep or actually treat fish. All these fish are visibly dying of diseases. The reason why is because they don't use the proper medicines. They just use a poison called methylene blue that's why you see a blue tint in the water of all the tanks. I promis if you buy fish from here they will die and if you mix them with your current fish they will destroy your tank and they all will die. Please avoid this place. It's probably the worst in nyc even surpassing Petco read more

Make it a point of finding every independent aquarium store I can find. So when I found out about Amazing Aquarium, I had to pay them a visit. This place has an incredible array of acrylic tank set ups the likes of which I have never seen before, with Asian style filtration systems that are completely new to me. The livestock looks healthy, tanks are clean, the prices are good. Lots of rocks and driftwood for aquascapes at very reasonable prices. I've been on the lookout for stands that look more like functional furniture instead of the limited "selection" of crappy particle board ones available at chain stores. I found what I was looking for: a black laquer cabinet for a 29 gallon tank. Nikki had it assembled it for me and even arranged for a van ride home. Service above and beyond! read more

Amazing Aquarium - This is the cabinet I bought at Amazing Aquarium with my 29 gallon - Aquariums Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Nice selection of freshwater fish. It sucks we have only 1 or 2 stores like this on Staten Island...so I drive here. They don't have a 7 day policy on fish if they're sick however. But overall they are healthy and the staff is helpful. read more

Great aquarium store for freshwater fish! Their prices are great, the water in their tanks are clean and I've almost never seen any dead fish in their tanks. A lot of the stock is well-separated, so you at most get 2-3 species in a tank, aside from corydoras species. They have plenty of hardscape for sale, as well as a nice variety of live plants and snails in the rear of the store, as well as a nice variety of testing kits and aquarium meds/supplements near the register. read more

A nice, clean place to buy your fish. The store is pristine, and the fish looked healthy. The staff was friendly and answered my questions. Unlike most Petco stores, the Betta fish were in clean water cups. They actively wanted my attention, but alas, I couldn't take all of them home. I settled on one Betta girl, but will return when my tank is fully cycled for another fish. read more

I bought a tank and a few fish from them about a month ago. The tank must've had a micro fracture in it because it cracked open in the middle of the night and the water went everywhere (spread to a power strip and caused a small fire) I don't recommend buying a tank from this store. read more

I was in the market for some new fish to add to my existing tank, but since I bought the tank with the fish off of Craigslist, I didn't have a local fish store that I trusted to turn to. Using Yelp, I narrowed it down to a few options in the area, but after visiting them all, it was clear that Amazing Aquarium is head and shoulders above the competition. The variety of selection they offered, the spread-out tanks that allowed me to observe the fish without any pressure, the health of the fish, and the helpfulness of the staff were unsurpassed. I walked away as the proud owner of 4 new fish that already look great in my tank: a Giant Gourami, a Peacock Bass, a Geophagus, and a Red Severum. Thanks for all your help! read more

My go to local fish store for practically everything I need. I used to drive out to Manhattan or Queens for anything related to my four fish tanks but when I saw this place going up we were so excited! This place is less than five minutes from home and I couldn't be happier. Everyone who works there is super helpful, will answer your questions happily as well. Their prices are more than fair, and their livestock selection is pretty big. They have a lot of hardscaping materials at REALLY low prices compared to the competition. Always feels great to support a local business as well. I hope they're in the neighborhood for a long long time! read more

They named this aquarium store correctly! It is an amazing store, has a wide selection of healthy fishes, many accessories and a polite staff. They also have a wide selection of nano and smaller tanks. Store is very clean. Would highly recommend paying a visit. read more

ZERO STARS! The customer service at this store is an absolute joke. I bought a fish tank and filters ($153.00) as a gift for a family member, the family member asked me to return it as they wanted a different size/type of fish tank. I called the store to ask if they would accept the return and refund. They said they would accept it as long as the tank had not been used. As a result, I gave another gift to my family member. I come back to the store a couple of days later with the tank and filters untouched, still in the box, and sealed as the store had given it to me. The employee told me they could only give me store credit for the items. I explained that I had called and someone had told me differently, but they did not care. They also did not care that I do not own fish and will not be owning fish in the future. Completely refused to come up with another arrangement. So now I'm out of $153.00, that I will never get back, and nobody will use the flimsy store credit receipt they gave me, which doesn't even have the name of the store listed on it. Also, the only signs in the store say that they don't accept returns of LIVE ANIMALS, not equipment. Don't waste your time on this store. read more

All of my fish bought here were always healthy and i've bought at least 40 fishes here if not more. Everything is basically 40% off compared to competitors or anywhere else. Biggest bang for the buck. very organized and neat. You can't find cheaper anywhere else. Great customer service. Very nice people. Anyone in or around bensonhurst should definitely take a visit here. I can tell you this much, you will keep going back after your first visit. My favorite local fish store. Regret ever going to petco petland and a lfs near my house which are way over priced! read more

Hey, this is my regular go to LFS. Forget the big box stores if you're a real hobbyist visit this store. Nikki is an amazing person who will answer all your questions, give you suggestions, you need something special..she'll order it for you. Their fishes are healthy and well kept. You'll get the bang for your buck here. If you're in Bensonhurst area, drop by enjoy the fish, and support your local business. read more

9th time visit, the fishes are very healthy many affordable tanks Very good customer service the prices are very reasonable or cheaper prices read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. A very clean well run aquarium shop. Their prices on all of their fish are the best prices I've seen anywhere, and their fish are very healthy. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality fish or tanks. I wish them good luck. read more

I bought 4 color tetras and they all died within 1 week. I can speak for the other types of fish that they sell. The wood and other tank ornaments are nice, however. They do not offer replacement fish. read more

An excellent local fish store I visited amazing aquarium today and I was blown away by what I saw. It was great and I really loved it but I can can only give this 4 stars because of a few things. First off when you walk in it looks kinda crammed but that's something you have little control of, secondly my main purpose for visiting was to find some aquascaping material and they delivered they had beautiful pieces but I also wanted to get an Oscar which I fell in love with however it had what appeared to be ick on it's s body despite all the other tanks being so very well-maintained which was kind of a letdown because when you look around all the other tax tanks are pristine whereas there's just this one fish which was absolutely astonishing with ick and that would be my main reason for giving the store a four star review however I will find myself back here in the coming days because I feel like this store is a diamond in the rough and it will be my go-to. Finally my last reason that was a deciding factor was the variety they had a selection not common in the big chain stores however they lacked variety as the fish were mainly cichlids, barbs, guppies,goldfish, some frontosa,plecos,and one huge red tail. I will be back really to get that Oscar regardless of if it still has the ick or not but all in all a very well maintained clean LFS. read more
