Fishtown USA

This is a great store for tanks and supplies but the quality of there fresh water fish is poor there salt water fish are ok I have bought many fish from here and they die within two weeks but I buy fish from other stores and the last months on months I have 2 parrot fish from another pet store that are going on 1 year so it’s not my tank or water the guys that work here are really nice and knowledgeable but they need to find a breeder unfortunately I will not be buying fish here anymore

This is my To-​GO-​To fish store. The fishes are good value and healthier than most aquarium. I see people complaining about employee attitudes but I have befriended someone there and this is how he talks after he got to know us through multiple visits — so its OK. Prices on equipment are a little high but they carry more specialized equipment than petland-​petco-​petsmart. They sometimes have rare stuff, i recently saw a alligator snapping turtle here and it was beautiful!

Good selection but the fish are seriously sick especially when they first get them in. Staff is rude as well. I never buy fish here anymore. The accessories are also expensive. Good luck fishing out new dead additions to your tank. Last batch all looked sick before getting them, ¹⁰⁄₁₀ died in a week… Never again. The neon tetras are all sick too.

Great store to go to. Very helpful .I’m new to the fish tank game and I’m happy I found them, they are very knowledgable and friendly, they know What they are talking about and How to fix a problem. im alway excited to walk into the store there is always something new and exciting to see prices are a little high but quality is unbeatable thanks for all your help FISHTOWN

Fishtown is the best! Not only do they have a great selection of everything you need for fresh water and salt, but their staff is really helpful. I moved to NY and «inherited» a fish tank, they have been my go-​to place for lots of questions (thanks for your patience!), supplies and new fish. Keep up the good work! The only problem is parking, which seems to be an issue everywhere! :)

Great selection of fish. Priced are a bit high, but for the quality of colors, its worth it. They keep their fish well and maintained. Helpful staff and meter parking is available.

Everyone who works at Fishtown is a pro. They know their stuff and their always ready to help. If you are looking to set up for the first time (like me) or a seasoned aquarium-​ist, this is the place to go. I would never go anywhere else.

My son and I bought Betta fish from this store today. Prices are very reasonable and the store manager helped us pick out what we were looking for. My friend recommended this place and I see why. They have such a big selection to choose from.
Even though we were buying something very basic and a small tank, George the manager took the time to explain everything to us and set up the tank for us to separate the Betta fishes. I must have asked thirty questions and he didn’t mind taking the time to explain. Great place and the fish are taken care of well. I did not see one tank with murky water like other pet stores.

Big fish store. Has a lot of fishes to choose from, saltwater and freshwater. The prices are decent and the fishes look healthy

Excellent place to buy saltwater fishes and Corals or any product for your fish tank or filters

Man oh man do I love this store!
I was in the mood to buy a fish or two for my house and I Unilocaled the nearest fish store. I came across this place and I don’t regret it. This place is literally dedicated to selling fish lol.
As soon as you walk in, you’re surrounded by nice neon bright tanks. Fish fish fish and more fish.
The tanks are pretty expensive but the cheapest most reasonable price for a regular tank is 50 dollars which includes the filter and the lights. If you check in with Unilocal you receive a 10% discount.
There are so many varieties of fish it’s not even funny. You’re bound to find something that you want.
I didn’t buy anything this visit however I WILL be back to purchase my fish.

There customer service sucks here and that tall older guy is so damn rude. I asked him if he had other yellow tangs because i hadnt gone through the entire store yet n he says to me…” Where else do you think I would keep them, do you think Im hiding them” in a very mean way. I gave him a look and he then said «no that is all we have» i then said that is all you had to say from the beginning! He continued to help me but had an attitude. They have some nice fish here but after im done with the credit I have, i will never come here again because of there attitude. This is the second time ive been to this place to try to finish my credit up n both times they seem like they just do not want to help anyone and are rude to their costumers.
2 star for costumer service
4 star for the variety of fish they carry.

This place is great. They’ve got a huge diverse selection. Prices for fish are… average but all equipment is a bit overpriced.

Just found out some of the plants they sell is not suited for aquariums. Ie: Janet Craig which is a dark green leafy pineapple plant can by submerged in water for 3 – 4 weeks at most. I’ve purchased over 5 of these from Fish town over the last 1.5 years and they all start to rot after 1 month then literally melt away. When I go to fish town, they try to sell me HO lights and leaf zone and iron solutions. All BS waste of money. Google this and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I’ve been going to this store on and off for over a decade and I really like this place. I’ve been to a good number of local fish stores and this place has an above average selection of freshwater fish and a very good selection of freshwater plants. There are some saltwater fish as well… but I’m not really knowledgeable regarding marine/​reef tanks so I can’t form a good opinion regarding that.
It seems like they get in new stock pretty often because I see new fish frequently. There are the usuals like tetras, barbs, otos and whatnot but there are also a few rare/​uncommon fish. They don’t have the most exotic fish but there are some fish I’ve seen here that I haven’t seen at other stores… and usually the fish look very healthy which is a plus.
I recently bought a pair of young german blue rams and a pair of juvenile apisto double reds (apistogramma agassizi) which I was pretty happy about. Very healthy looking. Especially the apistos which I don’t see very often. I’ve also bought kuhli loaches, yoyo loaches and clown loaches from here as well.
If there’s one thing that I have to complain about is the price of the fish. SOMETIMES they can be on the expensive side… I’ve seen a good number of the the fish for cheaper at other places. But then again I could be nit-​picking because it seems as if every fish store has certain fish that are more expensive than other places for whatever reason
The plants on the other hand are usually priced very reasonably. The plants may be geared towards more low/​mid-​tech tanks… most of the plants don’t seem to be very demanding types. But still the selection is pretty good… definitely NOT JUST anubias/​banana plants and moss as some stores do. I saw stuff like moneywort, scarlet temple, water wisteria, corkscrew vals, regular vals, some kind of bacopa, amazon swords, red flame swords, and a lot of other stuff.
Overall thumbs up! This is one of my go-​to stores.

I started with a small fresh water, with the guidance of the guys at fish town and my favorite employee Noël I now have 3 tanks, 2 saltwater. They are amazing, knowledgable and caring. I ask a million questions and drive them crazy but the tolerate me with a smile. It is a one stop shop with a vast array fish both fresh and salt water to choose from. They carry the frozen food which is healthier for the fish as well as everything you need for a start up or experienced tanker–

It’s close to where I’m staying at the mo so that’s one pro already lols. There is parking in the back and street side. There’s no bathroom. This store is divided into like 2−3ish sections I think. The left side is fresh water and right side is salt water fish. In the back left are more fresh water, koi and different kinds of gold fish which they don’t specify but are. The staff is alright, sometimes you ask one employee their opinion and you get a different one from another. The boss has the final say though. I came in to ask about 3 zebra danios that were recently purchased from here. They were adopted into a 29 gal tank that already had a group of fish (1 albino corydora, 1 regular goldfish, 1 sailfin pleco). New fish are acclimatized for an hour. The tank receives a 25% water change every night for one month (it’s been like 3 weeks now) because of the nitrogen cycle among a bunch of other things like conditioner and some other chemicals. And the water gets chemically tested every night. Please point out if any of this is wrong or better things can be done.
The addition of the danios had the corydora hiding under a drift wood :(and the goldfish stops following my finger. So then they are put in isolation in a 10 gal. The staff says we need to buy more danios to make them less aggressive towards the other fish. So 6 more are bought. And now everyone’s almost happy. One Fabio is a bully to every fish in the tank :(may need to make him disappear… Also I got an angel fish from here and it’s no angel to the baby albino corydoras I just added. It nips at them. :(I think the gold fish also ate a few of them *tears*

Pros:
–great selection of fish– Especially goldfish. There’s an entire wall full of tanks for fancy goldfish/​koi
–good selection of freshwater plants/​salt water too
Cons:
–The staff = douchebaggery at its finest
–parking is horrid. I would suggest parking around the block and not even bothering with the lot.

Good fish and all, the service is mediocre. I was looking at a tank and the guy saw me and kept walking. Not even a «can I help you?». The amount of tanks is great, prices are okay at best. There’s a cheaper store in long island, but the ego of that guy wow, they think they know more then you and so they drop your standard low. As if their higher ranking then you. I’m sorry, I don’t like people that think they «know it all» especially with fresh & saltwater fish. Sure their celebrating their 45 years of business, but the owner is nicer then his employees.

The boyfriend has been dragging me to every fish store he can possibly find and this one is one of the best ones we’ve been to.
If you know what you need and how to setup a tank, this is the place. If you’re looking for some help, I wouldn’t suggest this place. They will answer your questions, but they aren’t too friendly and they try to get people in and out. Also, good luck trying to find someone to help you. They’re a little disorganized and under staffed, but you’ll eventually get some help…
Good place if you know what you want, not so good if you’re looking for some assistance
