Rockland Aquarium

(12 reviews)

Nice selection of freshwater fish and great customer service! Prices are also fair…read more There's a great assortment of unique cichlids, Oscars, arrowannas and tropical fish. Plenty to choose from and the owner packs the fish well for the ride home. Oxygen and Prime added to the bags. If you have any problems with fish dying, try letting him know. I had a few pass away on me within a couple days and he happily replaced them for me. Most local fish stores charge two or three times as much as big chain stores, but prices here are surprisingly competitive. I'll be happy to return here!

Unfortunately, I've had a frustrating experience with Rockland Aquarium…read more I ordered a special color morph of Blood Parrot cichlid, prized for its brilliant yellow coloration. I'd wanted one for ages and was so excited when he arrived! The fish was healthy, robust, and had clearly traveled well. There was just one problem. He was orange. Not yellowish-orange, but bright, unmistakable Blood Parrot orange. So orange that once acclimated to my tank, I could barely distinguish him from the others! I sent a friendly email explaining the problem. The owner replied, "That's so weird. He was yellow when we caught and packed him. Please send pictures." I promptly sent photographs, including one of the fish still in his shipping bag. I find it difficult to believe this fish was ever yellow. Perhaps someone else's order was shipped to me by mistake. That is possible but I truly doubt this fish was ever yellow. Since then, I've sent three more emails, tried texting, and called a number with a full voicemail box. Nothing. Even the website's refund link leads to information associated with an apparel store. Returning a dress and resolving a problem with a live fish are hardly the same thing! I understand they may be busy caring for their fish, but customer service is part of running a business. I don't want to dispute the charge, but with the purchase price and shipping, I may have no choice. To be fair, the fish is beautiful, healthy, and thriving. I've named him Fraud, and the little booger is staying right where he is. I won't put him through another shipment, even if he has taken the place intended for my dream fish. It's a shame. I thought I'd found an affordable source for quality fish, and perhaps I have. But without reliable customer service, I can't recommend them or feel comfortable ordering again. Two stars, entirely for the healthy fish.

I've done a lot of research, have sought many Petco's/Pet Smart's, and they simply do not compare…read moreto House of Fins (HOF). Every YouTube enthusiast that you hope to aspire to be like may be accomplished through the only credible, local aquarium store, House of Fins. I've purchased all of my aquascaping products from them, and am looking forward to becoming a regular customer. Their freshwater plant-life are healthy, vibrant, and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable on their products. I've worked primarily with Peter, and Joe (I believe is his name, sorry bro!), and they've shown excellent customer service. If you need products that they don't have, they'll purchase them for you to pick-up. All I'm missing are the fish themselves, which are ALL so well taken care of. If you've been to Petco, Pet Smart, Petland, you've seen the horrific upkeep of their tanks, and the deplorable health conditions of their fish. However, HOF has not only a variety of both saltwater, and freshwater fish, but they are all so well nourished that it is impossible to not instantly notice the stark differences. GO. TO. THEIR. STORE. ^_^

I started going to HOF about 7 years ago when I decided to pick up my tropical fish hobby after…read morealmost 60 years of a career in the entertainment industry. At my first visit I met with Peter Izzo and Joe Orrico. They were in sales in the retail store and loaded with know how about how to start...right where I left off. In no time at all I had the perfect tank, filter, heater, live plants and fish....and I never looked back. Now Peter and Joe are in the front office in charge of in home custom set-up and maintenance. Just two days ago, Joe rolled up to my house in the big HOF van to do a refresh of my 65 gallon freshwater tank. He spent 3 hours pruning and relocating plants, shifting hardscape. It was as though my fish tank had a spa day...down to scraping the sides and glass top, removing every single bit of algae. He topped it off with changing the pre-filters in my Oase filters and a water change! All the while, Joe offered advice to maintain what he had just done. It was a genius session. Frankly, this is why HOF is my go-to for anything "fishy". It is the ultimate! In the store it is Casey and Aiden for solid advice. They know their stuff. If there is any fish you want they will do their best to get it for you. Ok, I'll stop know. If it is know-how bout fish keeping, and what equipment, food...anything you want to know about your hobby, get yourself to House of Fins in Greenwich. Hilary S.

Monster Aquarium is a great place for aquarium enthusiasts. They carry a huge variety of fish and…read moreeven have a small selection of amphibians. Honestly, if you're looking for a specific fish, there's a good chance you'll find it here. The prices are reasonable, the store is clean, and all of the tanks are well maintained. I've been a regular customer for a while, and this place never disappoints. The staff is knowledgeable, and it's clear they take good care of their animals. If you're into the fishkeeping hobby, I definitely recommend checking out Monster Aquarium. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hobbyist, it's worth a visit

I ordered two Red-Tailed Red-Eye Puffers (Carinotetraodon irrubesco) from Monster Aquarium. What…read morearrived were two completely different fish--large, highly aggressive Pao puffers, apparently Pao abei and/or Pao cochinchinensis. These aren't species that could reasonably be confused in terms of size, temperament, or care requirements. This created an immediate problem. Irrubesco are small puffers that I had appropriate housing prepared for. The fish I received were roughly 3-4 inches long and belong to a group notorious for extreme aggression, requiring secure individual housing. I had to improvise emergency setups to keep them separated from each other and from my other fish while figuring out what they actually were. The most disappointing part was the response afterward--or lack of one. I contacted Monster Aquarium about the misidentification and sent photographs of the fish. I never received a response or any attempt to resolve the situation. Fortunately, a knowledgeable local aquarium store was willing to take both puffers, and they are now safely in experienced hands. But I had to solve a problem that never should have been mine in the first place. Fish identification matters, particularly with puffers. Sending someone a potentially extremely aggressive Pao in place of a small Carinotetraodon isn't just getting an order wrong; it can put the fish, the customer's existing livestock, and potentially the aquarist at risk. I understand that mistakes happen in the aquarium trade, especially with species that can be difficult to identify. What makes this a bad experience for me is that after a very consequential mistake, the seller simply did not respond.
