Fantastic experience: This is an updated review, where I have much more knowledge towards aquariums: This is my local fish store (lfs), and I'm glad that it is. This fish store provides many options for fish, for example, common ones like bettas and goldfish, some monster fish like arowanas, and MANY small species such as tetras. The fish are of excellent quality and are much better than chain stores or other fish stores in the area. The only thing that lacks in this fish store is plants. There are a couple, such as java ferns and Cryptocorynes, but honestly doesn't have a wide variety compared to other fish stores such as the Pacific Aquarium & Plant, but I can't complain since this is a pretty small establishment. It also has all the tools you need, from tanks, to medicine, to food, to wood, (you get the point). Don't even get me started on the owner. He's talented and knows what he's doing, and helped me when I needed help with my aquarium. This fish store is definitely worth trying.

Fantastic experience: I had a problem with a tank I received through the mail. The tank leaked when I was filling it .I contacted them and spoke to Michael who was very nice he told me not to worry they would send another tank. Well that day I received a notification that another was on the way. Would recommend this store to everyone

Fantastic experience: We went to surprise our toddler with her first pet fish and actually left with 2 gold fish and an aquarium. We all had a great time! The owner was EXTREMELY WELL INFORMED about the fish and what was required. He was able to get us set up with fish that was more our speed, until we have enough experience to get other species.

Justin King 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great selection. Staff is very knowledgeable and wants the customer to actually have the information they need instead of just trying to make a quick buck. Will be coming back for the rest of my needs.

Angel M 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable owner. Fish prices are very reasonable, tanks are clean, and the fish always looked healthy, literally the trifecta of a good aquarium shop. They offer frozen foods, and a small selection of plants. they also have jumbo clown loaches for you to preorder during the summer months (!!!) if you leave a deposit.

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience. Very pleasant people and very well kept fish! Was happy to hang out and chat with the young man who works there for a while.

Tony Liang 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The owner is very knowledgeable about fish and takes great care of them. He's not scared of giving you recommendations and likes talking about fish-related topics. All the fish I've bought from the store are healthy (he quarantines them before selling), and they are reasonably priced as well as having a great selection of fish, although it really depends what has been sold out - so you'll have to just ask what's available or when the next shipment of the particular fish you want is coming in. This fish store is way better than the nearby Petco where I see dead fish all the time in their tanks.

Positive experience: no fish

katie dwyer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: THE superior Brooklyn fish store. Extremely clean and well maintain tanks with healthy fish. I got a clown loach and barb ~6 weeks ago, and added some mollies from another store and they were all sick and died within a week. These guys aren’t made to sell they’re made to live. Barb and Loach are still going strong so we picked up bottom feeders, moonlight and honey gouramis, a geo. The owner is extremely helpful and informative, and will give you the exact fish you ask for when you pick them out. No other choice this place is the best!

Faith McGinnis 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best customer service experience ever! He really cares about the fish and not about the money he is making. I would recommend Bay Parkway Aquarium to everyone looking to purchase healthy fish. You also come out with more knowledge then you walked in with!

Fantastic experience: One of the few neighborhood fish store still open that's not petland or Petco. Been going to this fish store since Mr. Tam used to own this store and pass it along to his nephew. I still remember the small room in the back was used to house pet birds, and other tiny pets, but it's now a room to treat sick fish. The backyard of the store was used to store unused tanks and other pet items. I only know this because it was always left open when Mr. Tam own the store. The fish tanks are actually cleaned daily, and quality of the fish are pretty good. Probably due to the pandemic the koi pond in the front of the store was removed. I used to breed angels, albino bristle nose pleco, and crystal shrimps, and trade to them for fish gear and fish food. Like most pet fish stores, they carry the usual fish like tetras, plecos etc. Occasionally, they'll carry more rare varieties like pygym cories, pearl angels, and different designer guppies. Sometimes they might even carry feeder guppies of the endler species.

Fantastic experience: This store is wonderful :) they have a lot of healthy fish and aquarium equipment. Also, if somebodu has questions, they gonna be answered. Thank u !

Jake Pham 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having purchased fish that has survived and not get sick from here - recommended! They do treat the fish they receive so there's a smaller chance purchasing a fish will get your existing tank sick. The staff is very knowledgeable and will just share information of the hobby which is useful to a fish in owner. Fish deliveries are Monday but they recommend purchasing after Wednesday so you'll have a better chance of buying a healthy fish.

Ashley See 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I are the proud owners of Coney Island carnie goldfish and Ming was the absolute best! He shared valuable information about goldfish and aquarium care. He even did a demonstration for us on how to properly clean a tank. We will definitely be lifelong customers… or at least as long our goldfish stay alive!

Fantastic experience: The man working there was very informative and eager to please. It's a little dark in there but I think it's for the fish. Otherwise I would recommend this place over any of the other places because it's a local business with a man who works very hard to keep it going
