DO NOT GO HERE!! Months ago, I bought a couple of Mollies in which ALL of them ended up having Epi. I gave this place another try last week and bought a couple of rams. ALL of the rams ended up having Epi. This place is an actual joke ran by a bunch of losers who don't know a single thing about fish. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. read more

Bought 2 koi fish both dead the next day previous koi fish i had was fine refused to exchange or refund place is garbage.

Bought several fresh water fish yesterday total $80. Went back today because one fish died. I was told no refunds when he looked at the fish he said sorry. Not going back there. Some attitude. I have been a customer for over 15 years. Now I will go somewhere else read more

Great selection, largest selection of fish I have seen anywhere in the 20+ years of being in the hobby!! friendly staff!

By far my favorite place to buy aquarium supplies, shrimp, fish, aquarium plants, fish food, and such. Always well stocked - although the offerings change with time....which is great. Always fun to see what's new. Never had an issue with fish...but I'm super-careful and (consistent with good practice) quarantine all purchases for 10 days to 2 weeks. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. read more

Worst place ever, bought fish for my son and in the first 4 hours of getting them home two died. After 2 weeks we lost another fish. I have had fish my whole life and never had any issues with fish in the past. If you want all your fish to die they will from this place. The store is also very old and dirty. read more

The staff are amazing and will help with any question you got this is my go to fish store best selection best prices

I went to look around, but I ended up buying a pet shrimp and then one of the employees gave me two pet shrimp one for free and one that cost about $3.58 but the guy let us get them for $3.21 employees were really nice. I recommend coming here. read more

This store used to be the only place I would go to to make my tropical fish purchases, but of late, their customer service has tanked like a sick goldfish. Looks like the owner guy is losing interest. Their counter help is atrocious with interruptions when they are helping you, but dodge off to talk to somebody else leaving you holding the bag. The assortment of fish is still good and the store was always great to go in to and check out the large tanks, hence the two stars, but the customer service has dumped and I expect the store is going to close soon anyway. read more

Stop in once in a while for small purchases. Always helpful owner, looking to earn and keep my business no matter what I purchase.

Love this place. Always a great selection of fresh water and salt water fish. Sometimes they don't have much inventory due to them being far east on Long Island. One of the best spots in all of NY for finding rare fresh water shrimp! Some coworkers are helpful and passionate at helping me find what I need. Would recommend this place to anyone. Work the drive. read more

I am only giving this review with one star because I can't give it anything else. My boyfriend & I walked into this store thinking we hit the jackpot. Come to find out, they have the WORST service. There is a worker there that every time we approached - he would just walk away. At one point, my boyfriend grabbed a bag to take the fish that we wanted out ourselves. Every tank had at least 1 dead fish in it and even though the prices are very reasonable, it is not worth the frustration of waiting over 20 minutes to even just be acknowledged. There were multiple customers in the store just aimless walking around just trying to find someone to help them. Needless to say, if you want to get aggravated and frustrated shop at Aqua Hut read more

Good store with good prices! Would recommend to anyone looking for something new and economical. They got both fresh and salt water live stock, also have a big stock of tanks and stands from big to small. read more

See all

Very nice & educational! They were able to help me out, answer all my questions and suggest the best products to get!! (Without obnoxiously up selling) I will be back! read more

I had a great experience here ! The two workers were happy to help me and answered every question I had with confidence about my 20 inch Pleco!!!! Everything had a price tag so I'm not understanding other reviews, maybe they've changed. Got a grown or mid grown silver dollar for 10$, a great price and now my tank is complete ! I'm so happy and will continue to come out to this store for my fish needs! :) read more

Frustrating sometimes. As an entity, it's bipolar vacillating between "concern for the customer/product" and "I am annoyed you asked me for something in this empty store". read more

When you have a sick fish at home this isn't the place to go. We brought in some water to test and walked into possibly the rudest help. When we asked if they could test they just answered not on a Friday night. Thats it. I understand if we walked in ten minutes to close but it was 5pm and they close at 7pm. Also why Friday when you are open 7 days a week, it sounded like a excuse to not help us. We left immediately and went somewhere else that helped us. It's a lost sale and we have no interest in ever returning here. read more

This place was horrible Improper lighting Dead fish Sick fish Aptasia everywhere They should really stick to freshwater if there unable to properly maintain salt. read more

Price always varies when it comes to fish depending of the availability of species, location of store...etc But hey, fish keeping is an expensive hobby Aside from $$ they have friendly staff, always busy, so don't get the wrong idea when they seem to not want to help you. Always a new shipment of fish/plants every week. They keep their tanks fairly clean and remove dead fish promptly to prevent diseases. Always something new going through the isles. They don't really mind when you just go in and treat it like a public aquarium viewing what they have in stock. Go check them out, always something new and cool. Offering species you probably wont find anywhere nearby read more

There is no other store like `The Hut`. They get fish no one else gets, and sell them at 1/3rd what others would if they did. Staff is very knowledgeable, inventory is large, and prices are very good on that also. They been there since 71, I believe, and that says alot also. Dedicated to the hobbyist and industry. read more

Owner is awesome n staff is nice I definitely enjoy going there n my kids love it there and they are great with the kids they are very patient with them lol read more

Love this place! It's quite literally jam packed with amazing fish. Everything is well maintained, and the fish are healthy. I never have a problem getting help or aquarium advice. One time I went there with a budget of $70 for my new planted fish tank. The guy who helped me pick out tons of compatible plants and fish and kept me right on budget! read more

Great store! Great prices, awesome selection. Same owner since the early 70's. My family has been coming here the last 40 plus years. Since is was 5 years old. I meet people who come long distances to shop here. Everyone is knowledgable and friendly. Don't call though as they don't answer the phone. They are just to busy. read more

Someone said price varies, Nothing is priced, they charge off the top of their head. Inconsistent inventory? Place needs an update. read more

friendly staff and owner. lots of stock even odd ball fish and they have always worked with me with everything. I am very happy!

Aqua Hut in Coram is the absolute worst. Do not go here to purchase fish. The employees suggest the wrong things and the fish are unhealthy. Should have learned after the first time I went when all of the snails and live plants I purchased died. I went back and they suggested I go with particular fish which ended up again dying not before killing another fish in my tank. For a better experience and healthy fish go to country critters in patchogue. I gave one star because you have to give a rating otherwise I'd give them nothing. read more

The most helpful pet store around. The owner is great. Wasted hours on me knowing that I wasn't ready to buy yet. Will be a customer for a long time. read more

I've been coming here with my dad for like 5 years.We have a fresh water tank and there is always many fish to choose from.We used to go to petco and get them but we realized after a week they were very unhealthy.Aquahuts fish are healthy.Theres almost any fish you can think of in here that you can think of.(only for a home aquarium)I by so many fish here and only once I saw a dead fish read more

All the staff here was pleasant and helpful. Had a great selection of fish as well for reasonable prices. All our fish died. But apparently the only thing I can keep alive is a dog and myself. read more

They may be a bit out of the way but we'll worth the trip. Excellent prices, and a large selection of both fresh and salt water. U can easily spend an hour or more looking at all the stock. read more

This place is great. Knowledgeable staff. Worth the ride! Good prices and great selection too.

Always fun when I go there love the fish great prices and a variety of fish and coral customer service is great

My first experience here was great. Great customer service and quality fish. The fish are thriving. That's why I came for a second time. But, this is my last time here. I had a horrible experience this second time around. I walk in and said " how's it goin, hi" I get a grunt mumble from the round husky dude at the counter. I look around and see the fish I want to purchase and that same round husky guy walks past me and I say " hi, can I have some help with some fish I want to buy?" He mumbled grunts again and walks past me and totally ignored me. I waited for about 10 more minutes before another employee asked if I need help and he was helpful. This older gentleman asked which fish I wanted and scooped them up with no problem. As for the round husky guy, he was somewhere doing something. I like their selection of fish have had success with their animals in the past, but my experience today was horrible. I'll look for another place to purchase fish. read more

I have been in the aquarium hobby for the majority of my life and it is safe to say that Aqua Hut has the best prices/variety/quality fish on the Island. Coming from Riverhead, it is well worth the trip everytime. Highly recommended. read more

Aqua Hut is a great aquarium shop. I frequently visit Tropical Island Aquarium in Deer Park, and Aqua Hut is the only other aquarium shop on Long Island that I would trust with supplying my needs with the hobby. The livestock is often healthy and the store is enormous, offering a wide selection of both saltwater and freshwater fish. Prices are fantastic, and help is abundant. I definitely would recommend this store as an essential stop when it comes to aquariums and fish keeping. read more

Great store! The owner is super nice and helpful, all the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, he stocks a very large selection of fish and the tanks are always kept clean and the fish are always healthy. If you need something for your tank they will most likely have what you are looking for: quality brands of food, lights, filters, pumps (you get the idea) and all the replacement accessories you need to keep your tank running. I definitely recommend you to check them out read more

I have problem with my fish got some kind of disease and they help me out lots of help lots of knowledge save my fish they spend a lot of time with you that's why I will recommend them read more

AWFUL!!! STAY AWAY!!! All my fish and snails that I have purchased here die within a week. Guys have no idea what they are talking about, they sold me fish that started fighting with my other fish!!! DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! read more

Purchased fish & supplies from this store for years, wanted to add a few more fish to my 90 gallon fresh water tank that's been set up for years. Spent over $70 on 12 fish alone. Although the guy helping me was great in helping us find fish that would all get along, they have ALL DIED with in 3 weeks, except the ones I had in there previously. Not HAPPY read more

STAY AWAY FROM AQUA HUT!!! Richie sold me 4 young African Cichlid Peacock fish who had ick disease and they transferred the parasitic disease killing off my entire tank of my 4 beautiful adult African Cichlid Peacocks and 1 adult Butterfly Pleco. The 4 young fish I bought did not display any signs of disease, but the others in Richie's tank did. I never saw ick before in fish, and he taught me what it looks like by showing it to me in his other fish. He even said to me while pointing to some of the other 75+ fish in the same tank: "I won't give you those because they have the ick spots". I just read online that ick is a highly contagious disease, and fish can carry it even though they don't display visual signs of it (the 4 I bought from him). There has not been any PH, temperature, or nitrate/nirtrite change in my tank at all, so that cannot be the cause. I even medicated the tank with ick medication early on as soon as I noticed the many tiny dots all over my adult's bodies, but they still died before the medication's cycle of 3 days had finished. Painful lesson learned. That's the last time I ever buy healthy-looking fish when others in the same tank carry ick disease. And that's something they, a fish store who has been in business since the 70's, should've known to do - to treat fish containing the ick parasite with medication before they sell them to the public and infect everyone else's tanks causing many painful deaths! So sad to watch all of my beautiful adults die... read more
