    My awesome little hillstream loach
    Susan B.

    I love having a place close by where I can buy all my aquarium wants and needs! I found my favorite fish here, a spotted hillstream loach for cheap! They also have tons of aquarium plants too

    Went in for a crested gecko and got the best service ever. They hooked everything up with patience and a lot of care. You can tell they know everything about the animals they carry and it was an absolute pleasure to have such a great experience. A completely unexpected surprise. Fantastic customer service. They also board here if you need to go on vacation. Excellent location. Beautiful displays and awesome knowledge of all the animals here. A highly recommended five star experience.

    Beautiful store extremely friendly staff. The store is a bit small but the staff and choice of pets they choose to stock it with make it a 5 star store. I bought two Eurydactylodes from them yesterday. They seem very healthy and happy. Started eating within a few hours of placing them in their vivariums

    Lovely calm adult male

    Got my baby gecko here, in house bred and healthy as can be. Even if I run in for some quick feeder insects, we end up chatting for an hour. The information they've provided (and insane variety in the store!) is phenomenal. Cannot recommend these guys enough. Nothing else in NYC like it.

    I absolutely love this place. Been buying my reptile and fish needs for a couple of months now from here. The staff is super nice and super knowledgeable. I appreciate this spot. Thanks so much. Will continue to come here.

    Still going strong! We love our beardie and this shop is the best!! They've stayed in contact with us over the months we've had her to help us out with lighting issues we noticed and seriously care so much about the reptiles they sell. Truly amazing amazing people who work here

    Got a great new filter from here and so far for the 3 days I had it, it jade made a beautiful improvement to my fish tank

    See all

    Before I address the haters, I want to say this place is my top choice for a local fish store. John…read moreand all of the crew greet me with warmth and casual professionalism everytime I walk through their doors. Now if you are still on the fence about coming here due to some people questioning the durability of MA's fish with them getting sick" within a day or two after bringing home" or that "Selling sick fish is unacceptable". Let me ease your mind. Yes, fish do get sick sometimes. That is always unfortunate. It is also sometimes out of a LFS's control at times. Pathogens, parasites and protozoa are always present in aquaculture. Symptoms may remain dormant or negligible and cannot be detected from a glance. Hence it is why we in the hobby quarantine new fish, not just for diseases we can see but also those we cannot. However sickness can sometimes not be preventable. Something you CAN prevent is a massacre of your whole tank by simply QUARANTINING YOUR FISH. If you allow time to do its thing you will most definitely know whether or not any action needs to be taken. Simply dumping new fish into established tanks just means " I dont care about my fish", " If they die its not my fault since I didnt know they were sick". Now alot of people in this hobby are beginners and thats great! Just learn to ask for help. If help is coming from a person who "pretended he didn't understand what I was saying", GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. There's this pretty neat place call the internet. Oh? you're on it now? WOW! SEE look at that! Not so Hard right? BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! :) All in all, sorry for the rant. It is just frustrating to see such a good and hard working establishment come under fire from people who dont do their research and go "oh no, the consequences of my actions" when they screw up. K Bye ;)

Fast forward two months later, she is healthy, growing, and an absolute pleasure to be with. Took her to two different vets which one was recommended by the shop, and my own personal family vet.

I would recommended this place for future purchases.

First of all the place smells like rotten water , aside from having a very limited variety of cichlids they don't look that great , there was this one specific tank that all the fish were swimming strangely and one other tank had a sign that said check filter ( maybe that explains in part why the place smelled bad ) because the tanks are not properly maintained. But why put a sign up ? Just service the filter so the fish can live in proper water conditions . And last but not least , all the questions we asked were answered with : but it's not guaranteed . Seriously I think I know more about African Cichlids than the person working there. We didn't buy any fish since I don't think the water conditions and fish health were good , and in all honesty I wouldn't recommend buying live anything from this place . It's just a big NO NO !!
