    It's been some years since I've visited Ely's. There are other pet stores nearby me that have your basic fish and supplies. But when you're looking for something a little more exotic or rare then look no more. This place offers a large variety of fish and supplies. If he doesn't have it he may be able to get what you're looking for. I suggest calling them if you're looking for something off the beaten path. They're very knowledgeable and will answer your questions. They can also test your aquarium water if you bring a sample. If you're looking for your average no frills aquarium fish go to Petco. If you're looking for that fish that's going to get people's attention when they look in your tank then come here. Expect to pay a little more, but well worth it.

    See all

    Been a customer for tropical aquaria, and now for my pond since the 60's or 70's. Best selection, highest quality and great service!

    Good local business. I just go here to buy worms for my turtles. The prices are not unreasonable and my turtles enjoy eating the worms.

They were wonderful to work with answered all of my questions. The store is clean, all of the tanks are just lovely and have a large variety of saltwater stock to include fish, coral, CUC and all of your reefing needs. I will definitely be going back to purchase more saltwater friends I Highly recommend.!!!

My review was based on today. The store and tanks ARE filthy. Barely wanted to touch the door. I told you exactly when and where I bought the fish from (November/Dan's fish), sent photo AND video so you would know that it was a healthy, quality fish that I chose to re-home which you no doubt will sell for a profit. I'm not petty to get even over $10-$15 credit, although I could have drove 40 minutes to Absolutely Fish and received store credit. The blonde girl in the store had a mouth on her and an attitude that I didn't appreciate. I wasn't even talking to her but she felt the need to pipe up anyway. The girl behind the counter said no credit or trade because the fish was too small. As a business owner, you have to take the bad reviews (just scroll to see many others) with the good. Shame on YOU my friend for taking the time to try and challenge my review instead of Hey sorry you had a bad experience today thanks for the fish that I will probably sell for $20 or more. Tank on bro.

I personally believe educating you customers is key to a successful relationship with them and they Both took the time to make sure I was patient and took my time with my tank, instead of just taking my money and allowing me to buy every type of fish and coral I wanted and just toss them in a tank just to have them look great for a week and then pass away. I personally run a small business myself and believe they took right steps to put me on the right track to becoming a proper aquarium hobbyist. I told them both I'd like to start out small, to make sure I have the drive to commit to a tank and then I'd would later on purchase a larger tank for my home and business once I got the hang of things. They understood my needs, and took the time and gave me the information without bias and that won me over. I support small businesses and you should to, the difference between buying from a big box store or buying from online retailers is simply this, the service and personalization a small business can provide to your needs can only be had one on one.

The snakes are in horribly tiny setups smaller than your average rack sometimes. The bearded dragons have black beards doing absolutely nothing. Please do not give them your business.
