Fantastic experience: Great place to purchased fish They literally have beautiful fish. My husband is going to go crazy. The Gentleman that helped name was Rice. Acknowledge me as soon as I entered. Very polite and helpful. Will recommend to any one purchasing fish.
Fantastic experience: What an awesome shop. They have an awesome selection. Well worth the trip no matter where you are coming from. Great staff. Pete helped us and made us feel welcome. Thanks!!
Fantastic experience: We had been wanting to take a trip up from VA since we moved there. So, on a trip to ReefAPolooza we stopped it. Believe me they did not disappoint. Best selection of peacocks, hap, and mbuna anywhere we have been. We were even able to find a nice silver arowana. Pete could not have been nicer. Overall great job, we look forward to a subsequent visit.
Fantastic experience: I was here for my first time.I bought a few betta fish from this pet shop, and I couldnāt be happier with my experience! The staff (KONNER) was super knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to answer all my questions about proper care. The bettas were healthy, and well kept in clean tanks. The shop was well organized, and you can tell they really care about their animals. Iāll definitely be coming back for more supplies and more fish in future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality fish and great customer service!
Fantastic experience: This Fish Hut was amazing. The people that worked in with amazing know everything about fish. Would recommend this place for everybody to go to

Fantastic experience: The service of Dylan was five star, he new his fish type, greatly appreciated Dylan service, I highly recommend that people go to Gish Hut for the great experience of the people who really know what they are doing, thank you Dylan and the Fish Hut family.
Fantastic experience: we came all the way from connecticut, almost a two hour drive. this store and all the employees are exceptional, especially Dylan. he was so helpful, showing me all the cool fish that would be perfect for my 90 gallon! could not be more pleased with my experience at fish hut and will be returning. thank you Dylan for being such a knowledgeable employee, helping me to find awesome, rare fish for my tanks!
Fantastic experience: I love this store. They always have something that you will see for the first time. One problem is, Priced a little higher compared to nearby stores.
Fantastic experience: Eddie was super helpful. we bought fish from here a bunch of times. best fish pet store in the area
Fantastic experience: If you plan on starting an aquarium...you must go to Fish Hut! They are friendly, knowledgeable, can tell you what species can thrive together and they can help guide you if you are having issues with your fish or water quality! They are the best in the area!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at fish hut!! The tanks were clean and well-maintained, and the fish were clearly healthy and well cared for. The staff was incredibly nice especially Eddie. Eddie helped me choose the perfect additions for my aquarium. He answered all my questions and even gave me tips on my Aquarium.The variety they offer is impressiveāfrom colorful community fish to unique species you donāt find everywhere. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced aquarists!
Fantastic experience: I randomly walked into The Fish Hut of NJ one day with zero knowledge about fish care, and Iām so glad I did! Eddie was incredibly helpful! he took the time to educate me and helped me pick out a perfect starter tank along with everything Iād need to create a healthy environment. It was a super fun experience, and I felt really supported as a beginner. Iād definitely recommend this place to anyone, and Iāll be back for all my future fish tank needs!
Fantastic experience: A GREAT OVERALL EXPERIENCE!!!!! My 7-year-old kid, wife, and I have been here 2 times already. The first time we were just checking out the place and what kinds of fish they have because we were around the area and I knew right away that I found my go to store for all my aquatic needs. Both times every staff were very welcoming and friendly attentive to us and what we were looking for. So, to start of this 2025 year I am a new Cichlid owner and after all the vigorous online research Iāve been doing I am so obsessed with this new hobby. My wifeās uncle who passed away at the beginning of the year-God Rest his Soul, had a huge 125gallon tank that his wife wanted to get rid of and wanted to make sure it goes to someone who will want to care for them and home their cichlids in a good place, and so enter me. To my surprise my wife mentioned to me that this particular store is where he would usually get his cichlids from. So, I definitely wanted to check them out ASAP!! Just over Memorial Day weekend my family and I headed straight there for some new Cichlids to join our other water family members. Rice was the employee that helped my family and I out in our quest to pick out new colorful and beautiful cichlids. Again, I cannot stress enough how the employees are so knowledgeable and very friendly. They and Rice were very kind and cool to my 7-year-old boy that was running around all over the store and Rice was so patient and helpful with any questions I had of finding the best looking male with all the bright colors. Rice was even showing me pictures of his set up that he has at home as I was too. One thing that both Rice and I agreed on is that this is a very addicting hobby lol I was mentioning to him that the year just started and I already have 4 tanks (a 125g, a 55g, a 30g quarantine tank, and a small 10 gallon one lol). After Rice helped pick out and pack up my 6 new Cichlid members Pete rang us up and Rice helped with loading them up in my car. Over all the Fish Hut of New Jersey is hands down your ultimate go to for all and any African cichlids that you are looking for. And if they donāt have it, they definitely can get their hands on them if need be. Their prices were reasonably priced and thereās even a punch card where you can get more fish so thatās a great incentive. I definitely will be back for more fish and I would 100% recommend checking this store out to beginners like myself and to long time enthusiasts as well.
Fantastic experience: This was my first time coming to the fish hut but definitely not the last time. Niko was absolutely amazing and was super knowledgeable on everything I need to take care of my fish. He listened and answered all my questions! My kids also loved seeing all the fish. Their selection is unreal and itās super clean! I highly highly highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this store for several years now. Consistently pristine tanks and they have hundreds - always a good sign! Staff are very busy but still quick to help and very knowledgeable. Extensive selection of healthy fresh and salt water fish at reasonable prices and if they don't have what you want, they will call you when the fish come in. Plant selection is less varied and they don't use CO2, but what they do have is good quality, healthy and well labeled. They also have a large selection of aquarium supplies and fish food including frozen. The store does stock some aquascaping hardscape including a decent selection of rock and wood. No dojo to work out designs but their focus is definitely on general fish keeping at which they truly excel. Johnny Shorts helped us last time and was awesome but I have not had a bad experience with any of their staff yet and can highly recommend this place is worth a visit if you are new or experienced in the fish keeping hobby.
Fantastic experience: Konnor was a great help, very chill guy. He got us what we needed on our first trip here, and I couldn't be happier and more excited to start my aquatic journey.
Fantastic experience: For weeks, I searched high and low for a fish store with a great variety of fish, hoping to find the perfect additions to my home aquarium. Every mom-and-pop shop in my area came up short, and all I could find were African cichlids or fish that would grow too large for my tank. After countless hours of searching, I finally discovered The Fish Hutāand though it was more than 45 minutes away in New Jersey, I decided to make the trip. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt like part of the family. As I explored the store, Jon Jr. kindly approached me and asked if I needed help. I shared my vision for my new tank and showed him a picture of the fish I had my heart set onāthe African Leopard Bushfish. To my delight, they had plenty! Not only did Jon Jr. help me design my tank around that fish, but he also introduced me to the beautiful Blue Acara, ensuring I had the perfect setup. Beyond the incredible selection of fish, the store had everything I neededāsubstrate, soil, plants, and dĆ©corāall carefully curated for passionate fish keepers. I want anyone in my shoes, searching for the perfect place, to know about The Fish Hut. This store is truly a gem, dedicated to helping people discover the joys of fishkeeping. One particularly memorable moment came when I was recommended a striking Jewel Cichlidāwho, as it turns out, had quite the personality! Within two days, he became the undisputed mafia boss of my tank, terrorizing everything in sight. Understanding my situation, the team at The Fish Hut kindly told me to bring him back, showing just how much they care about their customers and their aquatic companions. Tomorrow, Iāll be returning to the store, and I can confidently say that theyāve earned a customer for life. Looking ahead, when I set up my dream 200-gallon aquarium, I know exactly where Iāll be goingāno need for multiple stops. With their fantastic selection and fair prices, The Fish Hut is the place to be for any fish enthusiast.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing they got everything you need and the knowledge you need to take care of your fish. Great guys there but Jon jr was extremely helpful to me to get my new tank cichlid set up.
Fantastic experience: This was my first time coming here, Iāve had fresh water fish before however Iāve always stuck with betta fish. I decided to expand my palate and coming here was the best decision Iāve ever made. I havenāt yet gotten my fish because I was advised to cycle my tank for atleast 24 hours beforehand. I canāt wait to go back and get shrimp and fish, Jon is such a great help and very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Just bought 9 Heps and peacocks. JR was awesome and selected a great variety for my tank. Be there in a couple weeks to buy some more!
Fantastic experience: Went to fish hut to get my daughters first aquarium. Pete immediately came to our assistance and help us get everything we needed for a new aquarium. Will definitely be coming back to fill the tank with fish!
Positive experience: My visit on Sunday, May 4th, was significantly better than today, May 6th. On Sunday, Konnor was exceptionally great, knowledgeable, and helpful. He did not direct us to a shelf, but actively took us and explained everything in detail. For what itās worth heās also quite handsome. Todayās service was not as impressive as Sundayās. The filter I purchased was missing a part, and I returned it today, but it was not as satisfactory as Konnorās service. While it was not bad, exceptional service is what one typically expects when Konner set stands high.
Fantastic experience: I go here for all of my fish needs. They have a huge selection of fish, with everything from nano fish to huge oscars. They also have a great selection of supplies from air pumps/tubes to water conditioners/fertilizers. Everyone who works here is really nice and helpful. I don't ever feel like a stranger going here. Would recommend to anyone in the area who enjoys keeping fish as a hobby!
Fantastic experience: Just went to Fish Hut in Saddle Brook, since my Reef Encounters spot near Hackensack no longer in business, and received excellent service. They were able to answer my questions as a plant/flower cuttings rooting grower. Staff were responsive and had experience. Will be going back as I expand my projects and get new ideas, thanks!
Fantastic experience: I'm a NOVICE 1st time fish owner. > 1: first thing I noticed was, the tanks are ALL SOOO MUCH CLEANER & BRIGHTER than other pet stores. 2: their SELECTION is INCREDIBLE 3: their STAFF is SOOO FRIENDLY, HELPFUL "&" KNOWLEDGEABLE !! ... THIS was the 1st "FISH only" store I've gone to & NOW will be the ONLY store I go to for FISH & fish supplies"." ... CHECK EM OUT. You "WONT"be disappointed. āāāāā
Fantastic experience: Great experience after buying some algae eaters! Peter was friendly and very helpful. They have the cleanest tanks Iāve seen in a fish store. It was well-organized, and had a wide selection of healthy fish and vibrant plants. You could tell they really cared about their fish. Definitely recommend them!
Fantastic experience: My daughter absolutely loved seeing all the cool fish! The staff was very helpful, they asked us many times if we needed help and you could really tell they care about the fish. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to buy one or observe a large variety.
Fantastic experience: So glad we found the fish hut! Been there twice and will be back for sure. They have a great selection of fish and friendly staff. Both times, we went home with a group of Mbuna. They have the biggest selection of Mbuna compar r to any other place weāve been to.. and weāve been to many places in different states! The hour drive for us is worth it. Our fish are happy, healthy and look amazing! Special shout out to Jon JR who helped out the last time. Friendly, patient, and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: This place is heaven for any fish enthusiast! We travel from Westchester County to come here because they have the best selection, happiest fish, and most knowledgeable staff. I love this place!!!
Fantastic experience: Recently converted a saltwater nano to planted tank. I Remembered this store and took a trip there with my daughter. I couldāve stayed all day looking at all the fish with her. We were greeted and helped by Jr and he was awesome. I happen to be a jr too! Also weāre both ufc fans! It was like I was hanging with a brother from another mother. He expertly helped us pick out the best fish, shrimp, and plants for my set up. He even spent the time to cherry pick the very best ones for me. Much appreciated! Then I got educated on everything from acclimation down to which food to get. Heck he even helped me bring all the items I bought out to the car on a rainy day because I had to carry a toddler. A+ service!
Positive experience: Beautiful fish and nice selection. Best prices for fish food. Water is very clean and good service.
Fantastic experience: I am a relativelyĀ newcustomer of the Fish Hut. The staff have been really helpful and friendly Ihave mostly been helped by Pete and Jon. The selection of cichlids from Lake Tanganyikais very impressive. The tanks throughout the store are clean and the selectionof fresh water fish is very good. I would also say some of the fresh water fishI have seen in the store were the best looking individual fish I have ever seenof a particular species. The selection of fish food,supplies, and aquarium equipmentis okay. I am happy the store has prioritized having a wide variety of healthy fishspecies than dedicating most of the floor space to equipment and supplies. Thatbeing said, I did purchase an aquarium with a stand, lid and lighting (180 gal)along with a few filters, a good amount of hardscape (rock) and other suppliesall of which were in stock when I wanted them. It is important to me to becomfortable with a storeās personnel and not feeling pushed into makingequipment purchases and being āupsoldā . I am very comfortable with the staffhere and enjoy my time in the store. Shopping in a small business like the Fish Hut has a verydifferent feeling than going to a national store. While the quality of fish mayalso drive the price moderately higher than one of the big guys, I would ratherbuy healthy fish from knowledgeable fellow aquarists than save $1 or $2 on afish and infect my tank with unrecognized disease which occurs in nationalstores regularly.

Fantastic experience: I went to the fish hut this past Thursday, I was amazed at the huge selection of fish, it was more than I had ever seen anywhere else. In the first few minutes of being in the store 4 different people offered their help. We ended up with Pete who was very knowledgeable and extremely patient with us. Overall a very pleasant experience going back in the next day or so for more fish.
Fantastic experience: Our first time in the store, we went to get a few Cory catfish and walked out with an arm load of great fish, Jon Jr. was a great help. We are definitely going back!!
Fantastic experience: Every time Iāve visited Fish Hut, Jon Jr. has been there to help me with whatever I need. Heās incredibly knowledgeable and always takes the time to answer all my questions, whether Iām looking for new fish or advice on aquarium setup. His customer service is top-notch, and itās clear heās passionate about fishkeeping, which makes all the difference when you're building or maintaining your aquarium. I highly recommend Fish Hut for anyone passionate about fishkeeping or for beginners looking for expert advice and a wide variety of fish. Jon Jr. and the whole team make each visit a great experience! Down below has been my latest purchase
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Fish Hut, and I must say, itās an absolute haven for any fish enthusiast! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned aquarist, Fish Hut has something for everyone, from colorful community fish to stunning bettas and peaceful goldfish. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to walk me through different options for my aquarium setup and provided helpful tips on fish care, feeding, and tank maintenance. Overall, my experience at Fish Hut was excellent, and I will definitely be returning for all my future aquarium needs. If you're looking for healthy, beautiful fish and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend paying a visit to Fish Hut!
Fantastic experience: First off, if you want a large selection of fish, this is your place! They have many many tanks of common tropical fish, as well as some that you won't find elsewhere. Some that are nice and mature and beautiful. They have a very large selection of cichlids, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the nice quality discus that they had. Pete and Eddie were super helpful with me answering any of the questions I had about their discus. When I came into the store, it was not that busy, but then several customers arrived. He kept checking in with me without being overbearing. When I was finally ready to make my purchase, he again asked if I had any questions and offered some great advice. If you want I'll local fish store that goes above and beyond, this is your place!
Fantastic experience: Special shout out to EDDIE over at the Fish Hut!! Excellent Customer Service and Awesome Selection of Fish.. I will definitely return and bring more friends to visit. Keep up the good work guys.
Fantastic experience: Found very good references about Fish Hut of NJ. Walked into a welcoming store with beautiful fishes and well kept tanks.it took me a while to make a decision ( so many beautiful specimens) And the staff was very attentive and guided me into my preferences. I have to mention the attentiveness provided by the young man named Rice. This will definitely be one of many visits. They make it a gratifying experience for hobbyists.
Fantastic experience: We came here on a recommendation from my husbandās coworker and have been back multiple times for fish, water treatment and some more fish. Everyone is amazing. Weāve worked with Jr., Konner and a few others. Literally everyone we came in contact with has been knowledgeable and very sweet to our kiddo. We also have the clearest water Iāve ever experienced in a fish tank because of their assistance. Thank you, Fish Hut!
Fantastic experience: All the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Eddie was the 1 who helped me and he was so friendly and knew the answers I had a lot of questions about. He took the time to show me around and compare to what my needs were and really helped with my set up.
Fantastic experience: We drove around an hour away just to come here to check out their freshwater options for larger fish and were NOT disappointed! Tanks were clean, well stocked and everyone there had lots of helpful information and advice. Have been here a few times already and will definitely continue to visit! Jon Jr. was especially helpful on our first visit.
Fantastic experience: Junior was very helpful. Traveled far and happy with the visit. Good selection, fish all appear healthy.
Fantastic experience: Very clean tanks.. well maintained. Large selection of tropical freshwater fish. Additional sectiom of aquarium supplies and and another room with many different sized aquariums for sale. Larger inside than what appears from street !!! check this place out!
Fantastic experience: Update: Pete was super helpful testing my water and picking out new fish! Great selection and the associates are knowledgeable and very helpful! I bought my flu valve 26 gallon tank and all accessories needed to have a beautiful aquarium. Thanks for help from Eddie and JR. They are always super helpful and informative. Excellent prices.
Fantastic experience: I went to this store yesterday looking for a specific fish (parrot cichlids) due to others being over priced, and happily purchased three. I didn't get the names of the two gentlemen who were helping customers, but I appreciated the fact that while they were already engaging with some, they acknowledged me on the walk in by saying "let us know if you need anything", as opposed to hounding us without allowing us me to freely explore the store. I was checked on again after circling the entire store, where I was then ready to accept assistance in finding what I came to purchase. The experience was very easy going, and I was asked multiple times if I was certain that I had everything I needed, which I appreciated, because I almost left without grabbing the filters I needed as well from the excitement of having the fish in hand. The gentleman who helped me was also very patient with assisting in confirming what gender of fish I was purchasing, and for all of these reasons I will certainly be back soon for all my aquatic needs.
Fantastic experience: This store is awesome I went there for the first time and they have so many options by far the best fish store in North Jersey. Eddie helped me he was super knowledgeable will def be back to buy more fish
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, helpful, and overall great service. Thank you to the young man that helped my daughter and I yesterday! We got healthy blueberry guppies, chocolate shrimp, and some plants.
Fantastic experience: Had my first visit to Fish Hut earlier today and was assisted by Pete. Pete was very pleasant and checked in periodically to see if I needed help. Very nice store, clean, and prices were reasonable. Huge cichlid stock, very impressed. Iām coming from Rockland County, but I think Fish Hut is my new go-to shop for my aquarium fish. I ended up buying a bunch of Rummy Nose and Cardinal Tetras and they are having a ball swimming around my tetra community tank right now. Thanks Fish Hut!
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at this place. The employee was incredibly helpful in assisting us with everything we needed for our classroom fish tank. They took the time to walk us through the supplies we required and offered great advice on how to maintain the tank.
Fantastic experience: I am a local teacher who is new to the hobby and they were very supportive and helpful. I am looking forward to working with them more to make sure we will have a successful tank. They have a huge variety of fish and supplies to choose from.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I came here last week and loved it. They had a vast selection, experienced and personable staff, and the store was very clean and well-kept. Eddie was so helpful in assisting with selection of my fish. We will be back for more very soon.

Fantastic experience: Iām setting up my first planted tank with my daughter and we were a bit unsure of what we should get but Jon Jr helped us with everything! He was so kind, very knowledgeable and so friendly and helped us with everything we needed from start to finish! He helped us get exactly what we wanted and seemed happy to help the entire time! I cannot recommend this store enough as their selection of fish and aquatic supplies is astounding with amazing quality for great prices but the real reason they get five stars from me is their customer service! I will definitely be returning!
Fantastic experience: It was my first time coming into the store and immediately I was amazed by the selection and quantity of fish that were kept in such quality conditions. Almost immediately I was asked if I needed help with anything and greeted very warmly! After window shopping around and finding what I wanted Jon Jr. helped me get exactly what I needed! Not only was he knowledgeable, super helpful and very friendly but he was funny too! I had a great time shopping there and it felt like being helped out by a friend who just wanted to see another friend succeed. He answered my many questions and even offered to help carey my things out to the car. Best customer service and fish selection ever I will be coming here for all my fish needs! Thank you Jon!
Fantastic experience: Excellent selection of cichlids. Eddie the representative who assisted us was very knowledgeable. Overall a positive experience and will continue to shop there.

Fantastic experience: One of the Best stores in the area, tanks are always clean, fish healthy and water crystal clear.

Fantastic experience: I bought 6 large healthy Mbuna African cichlids at the fish hut a few weeks and they are all healthy and doing great! There really aren't any other tropical fish stores in North Jersey that even come close to matching the selection of the Fish Hut.
Negative experience: The fish died a day after. I even use the same water that came in. I did get a good customer services at the store, but the fish didnāt even last a day. It cost me 30 dollar.
Fantastic experience: Great fish store. They have an impressive selection of freshwater fish and plants. Their team is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful and they have very convenient hours. Always a pleasure to visit!

Fantastic experience: I was there yesterday for the first time. This place is amazing especially if your into African Ciclids the staff is knowledgeable. Pete was very helpful and i will be visiting this place more often .
Fantastic experience: So a little while after purchasing a new set up through fish hut. I was finally ready to start adding new fish to my tank. Thank you so much Eddie for helping me throughout this whole process. Eddie was very thorough when explaining which fish would work best together and how big they would grow also the temperature that calls for each species. I also would like to thank Junior for being such a great guy. Anytime that i call with a question he never blows me off. He is very nice and also very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: I recently visited The Fish Hut and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The store has an incredible selection of fish. The staff Pete was knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all my questions and provided great advice for handling catfish with a net.
Fantastic experience: Great place to get everything you need for your aquarium. Knowledgeable staff will help new enthusiasts build their fish habitat according to wants and needs. Always come in to pick up new pieces and test the water to ensure proper balance.
Fantastic experience: Been to many fish stores over the past 30 years of having my aquarium - but Iāve never experienced anything like the Fish Hut. HUGE selection of cichlids and supplies. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Jon R helped me and could not have been nicer. It was my first time there and will not be my last. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had an awesome experience at Fish Hut in Saddle Brook NJ. We personally worked with Jon Jr. but everyone at Fish Hut is very knowledgeable and very friendly. The variety and high quality of fish at Fish Hut made it difficult to make a decision, as I wanted them all for my tank. The crews expertise helped me select the most suitable and colorful fish for my community tank. I would strongly recommend going to Fish Hut and will definitely be a returning customer.
Fantastic experience: First I would like to say that the location of The fish Hut was very easy to find. The place was very clean and the fish seemed very happy. The staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful. The quality of fish was excellent. I have never seen such healthy and unique fish before. Would definitely go again and would recommend this fish stop to other fish lovers.
Fantastic experience: As a new fish keeper I stopped by The Fish Hut with the hope to get some help on what to stock my 55 gallon planted aquarium with. I asked Jon Jr some questions and explained my situation and he went above and beyond to help me to stock my 55 gallon tank with some awesome, beautiful, healthy fish. You can tell Jon Jr loves what he does and is extremely knowledgeable about fish keeping of all species. I will be coming back very soon.
Fantastic experience: Our son wants to have gold fishes as his pets so we visited Fish Hut, we are beginners but Konner from Fish Hut helped us a lot on picking the right gravels, water plants and the water conditioner and so on. He also helped with the "strong" kind of gold fishes so we can have an easy start. His kind illustrations really helped us to start the journey!
Fantastic experience: The team at "The Fish Hut of New Jersey" were nothing but exceptional. Konner was extremely helpful with getting us setup with a new freshwater setup. He took the extra time to write down notes so we wouldn't run into trouble down the road. When its time to get started on an aquarium, look no further than "The Fish Hut of New Jersey".
Fantastic experience: Bought my first ever aquarium setup from The Fish Hut. I am a complete novice and had many, many, many questions. Luckily, there was a guy named Pete who was patient, understandable and super helpful. I look forward to setting up my tank! I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Konner was great with helping us set up a new tank. He worked with my 11 year old son and taught him about Oscar's and how to take care of them.
Fantastic experience: We were looking for plants for the new fish tank we purchased and I was also on the hunt for a betta fish. The moment we walked into the shop, we were greeted and were pleasantly surprised by the options of betta fish they had available. They sold plants and had a wide variety of other fishes. Very clean shop and the staff super amazing and friendly. Definitely will be back!!
Fantastic experience: Konner was friendly, professional, and the perfect adviser when it came time to prepare our first fish tank. He answered all our questions and at no point made us feel foolish or taken advantage us. We left happy customers, and are looking forward to our next visit!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I visited this store for the first time yesterday and were impressed with the amazing African Cichlid selection. Jon Jr. helped us out, was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend visiting even if itās a bit of a drive!
Fantastic experience: If you need to ask anyone, ask Dylan! He is so helpful and very knowledgeable. Helped me pick plants for my new 10 gallon tank and was great conversation! Will be back 100%
Fantastic experience: Great store crazy looking African cichlids and great staff thanks junior for helping me make my tank even more beautiful
Fantastic experience: I recently visited this small business and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The selection of fish incredible ā everything looks so healthy, and thereās a great variety to choose from. The staff were not only friendly but also knowledgeable, offering helpful tips and best practice suggestions. The store itself is clean, organized, and has a pleasant atmosphere. If youāre looking for high-quality fish or just need advice, I highly recommend checking out this place. Iāll definitely be coming back!
Fantastic experience: You know those nerves you feel when you delve into a new hobby and don't want to sound stupid asking novice questions at the store? If so, this is the place for you! I usually work with Jr. but everybody at the Fish Hut has been so helpful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I mentioned that we were getting fish for my elderly mom to keep her mind sharp and give her something constructive to do. I also had my young kids with me who had their own ideas of what to get for "Nonna" including a snail. The awesome staff at Fish Hut provided a great group of low maintenance fish (and everything else they need o thrive) that satisfied everyone. I've been back a couple times when me or my mom mess something up with fish care and they are always ready with that welcoming customer service, a chill vibe like "don't worry, we got this." and the proper solution. Why go to a big box store that handles multiple animals for your fish needs when you can go to a fish specialist handling fish from all over the world? Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Great store and amazing service! I got a new betta fish and needed a tank and all of the accessories. Dylan was a great guy and helped me get everything I needed for my new fish! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful store! Went in quite late at night but everyone was happy to help me. I ended up taking 6 fish home. Everyone was super sweet and helpful. Eddie was the main person to help me and I really appreciate all his information and knowledge. All my fish are doing super well!!

Fantastic experience: The Fish Hut of New Jersey is hands down the best spot for all your aquarium needs! I stopped by recently and was blown away by how helpful and knowledgeable Jon and Pete were. They really go above and beyond to make sure you leave with exactly what you need for your tank. I actually used to work with Pete at a previous job, and let me tell you, heās just as hardworking and passionate here as he was back then. His expertise in fish care and aquariums is unmatched, and itās clear he genuinely cares about the customers and their aquatic pets. Whether youāre a beginner or a seasoned fishkeeper, The Fish Hut is the place to go. Great selection, great service, and a team that really knows their stuff. Highly recommend! āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
Fantastic experience: Every time I visit this place I leave with a lot more than I intended to buy, the guys that work there are friendly and very knowledgeable about their fishes and how to care for them, all of their fish are in great condition as well. Pete helped me this time, I was looking for stress coat for my fish to accommodate them to their new tank and was able to recommend which species of fish would get along with my beta (Finn). I highly recommend coming here for all of your aquarium needs.
Fantastic experience: Iāve been to multiple Aquariums (Fish Store) around. Fish Hutās employees know what they are talking about. You can tell they are not hired just to have a body in the store, they have highly experienced and knowledgeable employees. Jon Jr. was the person that assisted me. The minute you walk in Fish Hut, you are acknowledged and quickly ask you, if you need assistance. If you donāt need assistance, they leave you alone. They donāt hound you just to make a sale. I recently purchased an aquarium and stand and other items needed. Once they received my money, Jon Jr. didn't just walk away, like it was a quick sale and off he went. Jon Jr. assisted me with bringing all my items to my car with another employee. Jon Jr. last words were, āCall us for any questions, no question are a dumb questionā. āWe are always here to assistā. At Fish Hut you get the personal one on one experience from a highly experienced person. Definitely will return to Fish Hut. Iāll be asking for Jon Jr.

Fantastic experience: I always have the best time when I come here. It was our second time there and Iām obsessed . I got to know about African Cichlids because of my boyfriend and now I am in love with our fish babies. We got them as juveniles and theyāre now growing a coloring up thanks to Jonās great picks! Iām so excited to keep building our dream tank thanks to the expertise of these guys.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at the Fish Hut of New Jersey. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Jon Jr. helped us with our selection of fish and was very knowledgeable.
