Ooooh I absolutely adore this place! it's super cutee! The man i spoke to (i'm assuming was the…read moreowner) is super nice and funny too! Walking in there is a beautiful large selection of Koi fish. Walking around I can ask him any question I want even if it's silly and he would just laugh and joke around along with me. He showed me a fish in particular that he thought was interesting but was already on hold for another customer it was a black colored really big and puffy one. I was saying the fish looked like a mafia boss and he would just laugh. I had a lot of fun with my friends and him just talking and walking around to the point we lost track of time and ended up being in there for 45 minutes. He didn't mind that we came in to just browse and have a look around as i was unsure if my father's tank needed any more fish. The fish there are big! (There are little ones too). There's also fish i don't see in regular pet stores (there was this super buggy eye'd looking gold fish, the eyes literally popping out of his head like big round googly eyes). I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family!

This place is by far the best fish supplier. I have visited multiple fish stores prior to…read moreproaquatic, I could honestly say their quality is amazing. The owner there never overstock the fish tanks and the filtration makes the water crystal clear. I have purchased numerous goldfish from him (such as Ranchu, Butterfly, and Oranda) although he specializes in Koi. The only downside to this place would be the pricing, but it is compensated with a much higher quality compared to elsewhere. So if you're looking for quality fish, this place has it all. This place gets a variety of shipments every several months, so even if you do not see anything you like currently, come back next month. The owner there is very enthusiastic about fish. One time I literally spent an hour having a conversation with him just about Ranchu.....Definitely will be coming back to purchase some more water piggies.

He has some hard to get species and breeds an number of exotic plecos. I was so excited to see baby zebra plecos (which have become one of my favourite fresh water fish), that I ended spending almost $400 in one stop. Chris also carries a variety of specialty foods and filter materials. I can see myself visiting this place a few times a year. Highly recommend.

In short: a tiny boutique new fish importer specializing in uncommon species and variants. It's…read morenot a shop you wander through on a Saturday afternoon to browse your basic tetras, but if you want something specific, unusual, or rare, Chris is your guy. When I set up my first aquarium, a more experienced friend cautioned me against the dangers of developing fish elitism, the gradual but inescapable attraction to increasingly rare species. At the time, I laughed and blew him off, convinced I would never catch that bug. The platies and guppies I had picked out from PetSmart were more than good enough for me - I couldn't imagine going out of my way to deliberately seek out more obscure fish. My friend was right, of course. Less than a year after setting up my plebian little platy tank, I was scrutinizing the stock at Big Al's, grumbling that what they had labeled as corydoras julii were *obviously* just the more common corydoras trilineatus, and lamenting the fact that none of the local fish stores seemed to be interested in stocking anything *interesting*. Chris, who runs Next Gen Aquatics, stocks *interesting* fish - interesting, unusual, wonderfully obscure fish. I had been looking for some corydoras hastatus for months to add to my boraras brigittae tank (the platies and guppies having long since been given away to less demanding relatives), but hadn't been able to either find any for sale, or to convince any local stores to stock them. After one text to Chris and a couple of weeks of waiting for import and quarantine, I was able to pick up a full bag of perky, healthy, adorable little tailspot cories, at a very reasonable price. NGA is still a very small business: visits are by appointment only, and the selection is limited by the space available. But the setup is meticulous, all of the fish are healthy (and huge!), and Chris himself is enthusiastic and knowledgeable and quick to respond to inquiries or requests. If, like me, you find yourself wandering discontented through the aisles of your local fish store every week wondering why they never stock any plecos other than bristlenose, or if - like me - you spend hours browsing through species listings on Seriously Fish, fall in love with some obscure little corydoras, then realize nobody local actually carries them... drop Chris a line, and see what he can do for you.

I reached out to the Seller right away and was ignored (for over 10 days). After starting a PayPal claim due to the lack of response from her, they told me they'd send me a return shipping label. That never happened, despite multiple messages and follow-ups. And now there is just silence. To ​top it off, PayPal denied my claim because I haven't returned the item​ but​ I can't return it without the label the Seller promised to send​. The quote for me to ship was anywhere from $200-$1000. It feels like a deliberate runaround designed to make me give up. What really bothers me is how little accountability the Seller has taken. No ownership, no apology, no resolution​, just avoidance. And now I'm out both the money and a functioning product. After this whole mess, I went back and read the other one​ star reviews. I wish I had done that sooner. There's a clear pattern here​, other buyers have had nearly identical experiences. This isn't a one​ off​, it's a repeat problem.​ Save yourself the time, money​ and frustration. I wouldn't buy from this Seller again under ​ANY circumstances.

Not something I expected from a so-called 'hoslitic' vet. I ended up buying something i didnt need to buy and felt scammed by the end of it. Maybe i caught her on a bad day, obviously others have had better experiences, but i felt i wasted a lot of money, my time and traumatized my cat and a vet tech who took my cat out of the room without asking- they had to do blood tests of course- but, another part of why i went to Rona is because they were one of the few places allowing humans in the appointments. There was no way i was leaving my cat alone with a vet. I've had him since birth and he is more a child to me than an 'animal' i have to feed a couple times a day. Anyways, good luck! I hope others have a better experience, but, beware, i guess.
