**Based on memory, not a recent visit**…read more This place is a pillar of my childhood. I used to take public transit and walk escorted as a wee child uphill both ways, yes, literally; in the blazing summer heat and in the dead of winter just to get here. I'd sing "The Ants Go Marching" on the way, out loud, and I loved every step of that mission. The store came up in a conversation recently and suddenly--boom--my whole childhood flashed before my eyes. A few days later I happened to drive by. I didn't go in this time, but just seeing it still standing after all these years gave me chills. It used to be a wonderland of fish tanks... walls of fish... and if memory serves, maybe there were bunnies or ferrets at one point too (I might be wrong on that, but hey, memories blur). Knowing it's still there means I have a chance to walk in again one day and revisit that magical space with grown-up eyes. If you're in the area, especially if you've got kids or a love of aquatic life, maybe go check it out and keep the spirit alive. Here's to places that stay standing, even when the years rush by. I'm 40+ now, and this little shop is part of what built me.

My recent visit to this Big Al's Aquarium was my second time in my lifetime. My usual Big Al's…read morelocation that I frequent is in Thornhill, on my way home from work. It's interesting that I never wrote a review for this Scarborough location. Perhaps I didn't know how to react to my experience walking from the parking lot over to the store the first time I was here. A woman with her army of children were taking up the entire sidewalk as they walked to their minivan and there wasn't any room for me to walk. I politely said excuse me and she yelled at me as if I were one of her kids. And, yes, she was yelling at them along the way. She was obviously having a bad day. I was in the area last Sunday and decided to stop by. My betta fish likes lounging on a leaf hammock that suctions to his aquarium. A week ago, this leaf broke and I needed a replacement. Since he lost his lounging area, he has resorted to hiding behind larger rocks at the bottom of his home. Parking is limited at this store. I actually parked in front of Blinds To Go. Even though there were signs that said that it was for Blinds To Go customers, I decided to break this guideline and park. Seriously, this store wasn't busy. How often do you buy blinds?! I had a different family experience last Sunday. A woman was coming out of the store and calling her daughter to roll their cart out. Her husband went to fetch her. There was a couple ahead of me. The man held the door open for the girl to roll her cart out. Her mom thanked the man. We all went into the store after the coast was clear. I like that the betta accessories are pretty much in your face when you first walk in. I found a new leaf hammock for my pet fish. The leaf is larger. There were also aquarium accessories on sale. There was Popeye, for instance. I managed to text my boyfriend at the store and said that his bicep was bigger than Popeye's. He laughed. There was one guinea pig who looked so sweet and adorable. I don't know if it was male or female, but a bunny kept it company. I also liked looking at birds next door. Big Al's has a rewards program. What I found out through the young woman who cashed me out that the points system doesn't carry over from one location to the next. It sounds so odd to me. Each store has its own points system. Why? How convenient is that to everyone involved? It was also weird that she didn't ask if I wanted to sign up for this rewards program strictly at this store. In a way, I'm glad that she didn't. I don't come here all that often. After installing the new leaf hammock, my fish is back to lounging on it. I'm glad that he likes the larger size. Anyway, this store is huge. You can spend a good hour or two looking at everything from iguanas to goldfish, and all accessories for them to thrive and love. (39)

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!

For four years (Aug 2014 to Sep 2018), I cared for a family member's turtle, a red-eared slider. I…read morenever had a reptile before and learning how to care for the turtle took time and research. I realized that I needed help from an aquatics expert, so in September 2015, I searched online and found EverClear Aquatics. For two years, EverClear Aquatics came to my home and cleaned the turtle's aquarium and water filter on a regular schedule. It was the best decision I made and the turtle loved it! They were so helpful, allowing me to enjoy the turtle and not have to worry about cleaning his home. I went through two different canister filters that did not work properly, but EverClear Aquatics came to my rescue when the filter was not working properly. They later recommended a good canister filter to purchase, which I did. It was the best choice I made in a water filter, making my life a lot easier. When I told EverClear Aquatics that I wanted to get a specific piece of equipment, they also recommended one for me and ordered and installed it. EverClear Aquatics is great in so many ways. They are professional, hardworking, reliable, trustworthy, patient, and very good with both people and aquarium life. They are also good in communicating with clients. For example, when scheduling appointments, they often provided me with various possible dates. They also confirmed appointments and always let me know in advance if they had any schedule changes. Eventually, after a couple of years, I asked EverClear Aquatics to teach me how to clean the aquarium and water filter and do water changes myself. They educated me on what to do and spent time answering my questions. They also provided me with various supplies for the water filter, so I didn't have to order them myself. When it came time for me to return the turtle to my family member, EverClear Aquatics did something amazing. They came to my home, dismantled the turtle's aquarium and water filter, took the equipment in their car to the new home, and installed them. I was expecting to receive an invoice, but they did all of this for me free of charge. They also sent me a photo of the turtle in his new home because they knew how much I loved him and wanted him to be happy. It was an incredible gift I did not expect at all. I would highly recommend EverClear Aquatics. They are simply the best.
