on my adventure to find more local fish stores, i recently visited planted aquaria in oakville and…read morewas pleasantly surprised by how much this smaller shop has to offer. despite its compact size, they carry an impressive range of high-quality products, including chihiros stuff, which i rarely see in other stores. it's clear that they've curated their inventory with care. the store is split into two levels: upstairs is where you'll find equipment and a selection of plants, while downstairs houses their main collection of plants and fish. the variety of aquatic plants really stood out to me--not only is the selection extensive, but the pricing is very reasonable too. while their fish selection isn't the largest, i still managed to find exactly what i was looking for. one thing to note is that there's no parking lot for the store--only paid street parking. so, if you're coming by car, be prepared to pay for parking. if you're into aquascaping or simply need good quality aquarium supplies, this shop is definitely worth checking out!

Great aquarium store if you're into the planted natural aquascaping-type of aquariums. Has all the…read morethings you don't typically see at Pet Smart or Big Al's. Will come again when I need more plants or finally set up the CO2 tank

I have been coming to this shop since i discovered its existance during covid-19 when i started in…read morethe hobby. it quickly became my go-toshop for everything possible. the owner is so nice and trustworthy. he always walks me through any new processes I have to do such as my quarantine tank and what to and not to do. the fish I bought from this place have always been happy and healthy so far. honestly the prices are so much better that anywhere else ive shopped at it is maybe 35 minutes from my house in toroonto but is is well worth thr trip. you may spend $20 on gas but you will save $1000s on your fish and corals and anything else you may need for your tank. just recently there was a sale on purple tangs priced insanely at $99.99 while other shops in the area are selling them for $549.99 which is insane!! there are not many places that i trust when it comes to buying live stock for my aquarium but this place is one of them. 10/10 i highly reccoommend this place.

This local fish store joined the ranks of a pretty saturated market in Mississauga earlier this…read moreyear. It is a small family business. I believe the owner's name is Abdul and he is very friendly and attentive. I have visited on 2 occasions and they have had a great selection of livestock both times (fish, coral, and inverts). If you have a nano tank and are constantly on the lookout for smaller fish, Exotic Aquarium World often has juveniles in stock. Right now they have a lot of baby purple tangs! They also carry a decent selection of dry goods and frozen food (Hikari and Omega One). I find everything is priced very competitively and even more so if you can pick something up during a special promo. Due to public health directives you will need to call the number posted on the door when you arrive to be helped. They also have a website for online orders, but I have always gone in person and received great service. I would encourage fellow reefers to check it out if you haven't already.

I don't agree with the previous posters comments. I'll admit I'm not an expert at hedgehogs, but I…read moreshop in this store since it has opened and every time I've been there I've been impressed by the knowledge of the salespeople and the obvious care they give to their animals. They helped me find the right food for my dog who was going through a nasty bout of digestive problems, and now he's back to great shape. He gets excited when we pull into the parking lot since he loves visiting the store (and it doesn't hurt that he always gets a new toy or treat after each visit). I even used their new self-bathing system and it worked great - no mess in my house to clean up afterwards. I know from talking to people in the dog parks that everyone has a different opinion about dog training, what food to feed, what breeder to use, etc. The poster before obviously has strong opinions about hedgehogs, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily shared by everyone.

The employee i spoke with was very nice but she had no idea how to help me, much like the other stores i had visited looking for help. But she led me over to the check-out where she proceeded to research on the internet potential solutions for my pet. In the end we found someone with a similar problem, and they mentioned their solution. I will always be greateful, Kita is still alive and well. The other stores i visited were not willing to go the extra mile to help me. Olivers took more of an interest in me than the store that i originally bought my snake from. I will never shop at any other pet store. Lacy
