Reviews of Pacific Aquarium & Plant
Will Cosker
By far the best place for any aquarium needs in Manhattan.
They have an amazing selection of substrate, plants, fish, wood, rocks, anything a novice or even advanced fish keeper needs. The staff is also extremely accommodating and helpful too which is very important for a hobby like this!
Don't waste your time going anywhere else.
Mo T
OMG I CANNOT STRESS HOW AMAZING THUS PLACE IS a little pricey but the animals are SOOOO healthy and the Plants are SOOOOO healthy and vibrant!! Will definitely be getting ALLmy plants and animals here!!
Edit: after getting multiple shrimp here none have turned up with any problems. Also made friends with one of the employees here and OMGGGG they are all sooooo KNOWLEDGEABLE you WILL NOT be lead astray here which is one of the most important things if you're looking to take the best care of your fish and raise them HAPPY, HEALTHY, and ETHICALLY

I really like this place, the best customer service, they sell very beautiful and healthy fish, I recommend 100% betta fish ♥️😍 …
Hilda Fernandez
Got my first betta sorority, and everything I needed to get started. Here is the temporary tank while I cycle the new tank. Team at Pacific Aquarium is always super helpful and I got advice how to get started.
Darlene Lee
Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. Very patient with dumb questions. Fixed a stubborn green algae problem in my new nano tank. Fish seem reasonably priced, light was $56 which gave me a bit of sticker shock.
David MC
Great variety, prices are a bit higher than other places but I love that they have many options to choose from. I wish they could put a little more info about each fish besides the name.
Amy McCloskey
Great variety, educated and helpful staff, everything looks clean and well cared for. They pack a lot into a small space. Please go here for your aquarium needs. They actually care.
Jessica Harvey
Absolutely gorgeous store and selection. Fantastic tank setups, huge fish selection, plant selection, tank accessories/ supplies, & unique tanks for sale. Staff is so friendly, very helpful, and all staff members were so so knowledgeable! This is everything you could ever want in an aquatic store. They even have tissue cultured plants! Which are the absolute best for avoiding cross contamination. They are sterile & therefor pest and bacteria-free! Prices for some items were a little high, but most were fair or average. I was very impressed.
Karen White
This place is a gem in the city, amazing fresh water fish selection, salt water fish and coral selection, and everything you would need to setup a beautiful display tank. And if you don't want to do setup they have prearranged tanks on display for purchase, not to mention every food source, and piece of fishing equipment you might need.
Daniel Carrazana
Very clean shop the staff was very friendly and their prices are very reasonable. good collection of very unique corals and fish freshwater and Salt water. This store also has good assortment of fishing equipment such as fishing poles and fishing reels, you can also get bait and tackle here. I really enjoyed looking at their redsea reefer peninsula tank. Next time you’re in New York City make sure you stop by the Pacific aquarium store. If I didn’t live in Florida I definitely would’ve been making a purchase and taking them home with me.
Ryah Mesch
This place has some serious aquarium inspo- I wanted to build an aquarium even half as amazing as the display aquariums. It’s so lovely to see that they not only sell live plants, but they know how to compose an amazing tank. We bought our betta Jeff here and I feel so inspired by the gorgeous homes they have their fish in. I’ll be back for more plants!!!
Marc Dilinila
The place is beautiful. If you're looking to do some aquascaping, they have some nice resources and plants to help your scapes. In addition, the stock is healthy and there's a wide selection of fish.
reghan
Just went here for the first time and was blown away. They have a massive amount of stock, a crazy variety of fish/plants, and some beautifully aquascaped tanks. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful and it's obvious that they are very passionate and skilled about what they do.
Skyla Rayne
It takes a lot for me to rate a pet store of any kind with five stars.
This place was so clean, a lot bigger than expected, full of happy thriving fish, and the employees are very knowledgeable.
It wasn’t humid, smelly, or gross like most aquarium shops are.
They had beautiful aquascapes.
They actually wait for their fish to acclimate to their new environment before selling them with labels saying “not ready to sell” which I’ve never seen before.
They have a very large variety of food and necessities for tanks.
We bought 9 neon tetras 3 days ago and 8 of them have made it. Better than the 9/9 that died slowly and painfully when purchased from a dirty store in Brooklyn.
I think the one died of shock despite proper acclimation technique.
Despite the large amount of koi in one tank, it’s very clean. I’d assume they’re going to be purchased or picked up soon.
Richard Fontaine
Me and my boy come hereat least one a week for some supplies and more. The store is nicely stocked and the workers are very helpful at recommending what I need.
Brad Windsor
Don’t let the unassuming entrance fool you, this is a huge aquarium store with an extensive plumbing system that’s been running for 30 years. Lots of expertise, a place where serious hobbyists will be at home.
Dean Lorenzo Tartaglia (DeanLorenzo888)
As far as aquarists concerned, this is one of the must visits of NYC. and perhaps further.
The setups and selection of fish are exceptional. And of course the coral variety and quality are spectacular.
Rekindleds the feelings of entering the deep blue mysteries of the ocean. As a child, or an adult who is young at heart.
And offers lots of new inspiration for your own aquarium. Most highly recommended. 💙💜💙Love the Deep Blue 👍👍👍
Zach Fox
We purchased two Nerite snails for our live plant tank. Four days went by and they hadn't moved - they also hadn't moved while in the transit bag. They were dead! When I returned a week after purchase for two replacements, the employee said "no refunds on live animals." I understand the policy, but it sucks that I was sold dead snails. Their replacements are moving around in their transit bag.
Besides that: Huge store, knowledgeable staff, easy location. The betta fish we purchased here is happy at home.
D. Leon
This is the oldest continuously running let store in NYC for a reason. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They actually care about the animals they sell and care about the customers they sell them to. They recently did a remodel of the store and added some more space for even more fish! These guys have a great selection of fresh and saltwater. Whether you're a noob or a pro this is the go to place for aquarium enthusiasts!
Levente Nagy
Big selection of fish and plants for freshwater fish. There is a large about of saltwater too, but I'm not as familiar with it.
Free water testing is super nice as well.
Daniel Espitia
As a fellow fish hobbyist for a few years I can say that I have pretty much been to every high end aquarium shop in the city. Hands down top 2 if not the best place. I think what I love the most is variety of harder to find fish. They'll also accommodate orders if you want something they'll request if available. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. The owner is also a really nice guy who is also willing to answer ask your questions. They also have a variety of plants to choose from in their inventory. So I highly recommend you guys go and check it out. Love this spot b
aᴙa
I really like this place!! Highly recommend. They have a pretty wide selection of fresh & saltwater fish, shrimp, snails, plants, corals, even some amphibians. Also a very wide selection of food, nutrients, & hardware for aquariums, terrariums, and all the things in between. They even sell fishing gear for fresh and salt water, which i think makes it an all-around place. Chi, a really helpful dude on their staff, taught me a lot about my tank and what's probably going on in it, and i was only there for about 20mins. Came away with a really nice little pleco, a beautiful assortment of snails, and some floater plants. Will def come back for one of those cool looking shrimp once my 5gal tank is established! :)
Veronica Ellis
Got these beauties a few weeks ago and I love them! I like this shop because they have a large inventory of uncommon fish, both marine and fresh water, you can’t find at an LFS. In addition they also sell a variety of aquatic plants from low light maintenance to high tech. Yesterday I bought java moss for my bonsai tree project. Whenever I stop by it’s hard to not purchase more than what I want. The only draw back is there are no guarantees on aquatic life. If they die it’s your loss.
Nusrat Khan
They have a lot of plants and aquarium stuff.Employees are very helpful. I wish they had more gold fish collection. They hardly have any goldfish.
Rob Ringley
Best aquarium store in the city! If you have/want a tank, tropical or marine, this store is a one stop shop.
Joseph Scuccimarri
I've been shopping here for years. It's a small family owned type of shop, not commercial at all. Great prices, and Staff is very very knowledgeable. My fish tanks are always thriving after dealing with them.
Suneel Kabadi
Met the owner, he was super helpful and super knowledgeable. Highly reccomend this place. Super nice tanks and wont try to oversell you.
Vishnupriya Haldar
Amazing experience! The staff was super knowledgeable, really thorough and easy to talk to. They really love their jobs and they love the fish. We came in wanting to buy a beta fish and they insisted that we had to make sure the tank was set up and prepped before hand.
We are really excited about starting our aquarium and we know we have a great resource for plants, fish and advice moving forward.
Eli Ter Keurst
I usually shop online, but I wanted to browse in person. I’m glad I did, the staff was friendly, the selection of plants, shrimp, and fish were healthy, and I left very satisfied. Thanks guys!
Ryan Volpi
Nice place with lots of equipment and plants available. The prices don't seem great though.
Kenny z
Worth the trip. Got some freshwater shrimp
Oscar Alejandro Perez
I’ve come here multiple times and think this is a fantastic store with helpful staff who are extremely knowledgeable!
However!! Call in advance if you plan on getting anywhere between 5:30 - 6pm I’ve come a few times around that time and they’ve closed early 🥴 - nothing against wanting to finish early. But just call before wasting a trip to the store.
v c
Update on my neon tetras: one of them now have ich and I’m treating it.
I got neon tetras to replace my dead sick glofish who had ich too so now it passed on to my other glo fishes..... very upset.
billye merrill
Staff very helpful willing to help and answer questions. They saved my Yucatan Molly's and other fish with advice. Good prices on fish food. Store follow COVID safety. And has alot of options and plants.
Patricia D
They are a good store, have a wide variety of fish, plants, decor, tank equipment, and anything you can think of for fish. I guess the only down side is that they are pretty expensive. In my history with fish shopping they are pretty expensive. Other than that they are a great aquatic place!
Black Greenmoney
If you are into aquariums and/or aquascaping, this place is a dream come true! Many varieties of plants, fish, and other water organisms are available. The staff is super attentive and knowledgeable. I only care about freshwater so I can't speak for saltwater aquariums. If you have aquariums needs, definitely pay a visit! I just wish it wasn't so far from where I live 😕
Connor Mcdonnell
Such a cool shop! They have a few small tanks in there that look amazing and their water plant selection is great! Wish I lived in New York to buy from here.
Lego Frogo
Awesome shop. Plenty of fish and pet fish supplies, decorations...etc. The store was pretty large and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Store was also very well kept and clean.
I was really glad that all fish were well taken care of and kept in an adequate space. Best of all the prices were very fair and the fact that they are one of few stores in nyc that take social distancing seriously.
Props to pacific aquarium and I will definetly visit again in the future. Two thumbs up guys. Keep up the amazing work.
Sophia Beceiro
Took this beauty home with me today! Super healthy and is acclimating well. Healthy plants too. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Jacqueline Chen
It’s a bit pricy but the services and location are great! There are many beautiful tanks there!
Agatha Isabel
My favorite aquarium shop in nyc.
jamie l
went here because snails ruined my betta tank so i wanted a complete fresh start. bought about $100 worth of new plants and since, i have so far found 8 baby snails. the more i look, the more i find. pretty disappointing seeing as how i traveled about an hour to get to this store. i should have just ordered them online from a reputable place that guarantees no snails or parasites! a couple plants are dying also. I bought two of two different types and one of each type is dying. but i know im not doing anything wrong because the other ones are thriving. selling half dead plants with snails. order online if you want guaranteed plants!
Prince Nyatanga
We always go here to buy frozen fish food for our aquariums. They offer a wide variety and it’s usually reasonably priced. The owners of the store and the employees/volunteers are also pleasant, being always very helpful, in making recommendations and offering valuable advice.
Gage Nevins
Helpful staff and a great variety that changes week to week. Great if you're looking for new fish or just want to window shop.
Ameera Mack
I came here yesterday as a novice in aquascaping and finally fulfilling my dreams of having an aquarium after 48hrs of watching youtube videos. Anthony was super helpful in teaching me all i need to know about getting my first aquarium and setting it up. He gave me a step-by-step run down of all the products to buy, how they worked and the pros and cons. I didn’t leave with any fish (yet!) but i left with loads of knowledge and i successfully was able to set up my fish tank. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be habitable for some fish and have some nice plant life, i will definitely be going back to this aquarium to buy my first fish!
Darrak Lighty (DD)
I live on staten island and it's very limited to what is available for my planted tanks. Getting fish and plants are easy enough but this place has everything required to set yourself up properly. Very helpful staff. I usually go there monthly to stock up or just to see what they have available
Annette Reyes
Their selection of fresh water, salt water and live plants are great. Beautiful tropical fish. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices are decent. If this is your thing or looking to start a new hobby this is the place. They also have some awesome tanks.
Elisa Flowers
Pacific Aquarium in NYC is the best. They have a wonderful range of Healthy, fresh water aquatic plants and animals, as well as a having great salt water range. The staff really knows their stuff and are always happy to really talk to you and answer any questions. They are also helpful with any fish tank set ups. You won’t be disappointed with this store & you’re helping support an amazing local business by going there instead of a going to big pet store chain or shopping on amazon.
Robert B Gaines
Absolutely incredible aquarium store. I came in for a full new setup and walked out for less than half of what I expected it to cost. They were even able to help me sort out delivery of the larger parts to my apartment. Particular shoutout to Chi, who took the time to help me find everything I needed.
Marcos Vega
Very friendly and experienced staff, they have a big variety of salt and freshwater fish , plants Rocks wood etc. Everything you need for the aquarium hobby
We are in need of more stores like this in Nyc worth the trip from the Bronx this is my 2nd time going to this store
Michael Le
Only swung by to check out what things they had. As far as equipment and tanks there seemed to be limited options but their fish and plant selection looked great. The show tank alone is proof of this. One of my favorite tanks was the dwarf puffer tank. Made me want to create my own. I will definitely be returning to make fish and plant purchases. The prices seem reasonable for a mom and pop shop. Everything looked fairly healthy and employees seemed friendly.
Geoffrey Parkford
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Covid precautions are also great to ensure you feel safe. Most notably, they have pre populated coral gardens for $250 that look out if this world. I would have snatched one or two if I weren’t 2500 miles from my tank. A friend, who has a planted freshwater tank, swears by this place for good reason. Thanks to all the staff for being so friendly.
Zoe Wilkins
Super helpful staff!!! Julie is the best. Beautiful healthy fish.
Harlem Guy
Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Wide array of all things aquarium-related. Some really awesome live plants and tank setups. I highly recommend a visit -- even if it just to browse.
Larry R
This is a great place. Lot of fresh and salt water fish to choose from at good prices. They also design tanks, which are super well done. Staff very knowledgeable. If I were starting over with fish, I'd make this place my first and only stop. Some things do cost a little more here but the advice you get is well worth the difference.
Louis Galvis
The best aquarium store in nyc hands down. Everything here is definitely higher quality than most stores I’ve visited. I will never buy aquatic plants anywhere else. I love the customer service here it is very refreshing to speak to someone who actually cares about the plants and fish they sell. They make sure you are aware of any special requirements for fish and plants. I’ve been in the fish hobby for years But just recently started my first planted tank with them and it wasn’t going so well until I visited pacific now I’m starting my 4th tank. Thanks guys!
D Masterson
Great shop! Nice staff answering all questions I had & I had a few. And I was searching for a small filter that I was actually gonna make myself eventually but they had one for $4.00 so I got it for my Nano tank project I’m creating. The plants are extremely well taken care of and beautiful green coloring. Large variety of fish as well but the plants again are the best I’ve seen in the city (5 boroughs) so far. I traveled from the Bronx to shop here!
Havier Turner
Absolutely the best fish store I've ever been to. From the helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff to the wide selection of plants, fish, rocks and everything in between. It is easily my first thought when I think about getting a fish or some more additions to my tank.
Joe Shively
very helpful staff who clearly love the hobby
Michael Dean
I've been in the aquarium hobby for over 40 years. I travel to most of the good aquarium shoppes in the NY /NJ area on a regular basis. But today was my first time ever visiting this store. I was blown away. The store is beautiful. The livestock looks beautiful and healthy. And they have a very diverse selection. I spoke to a few of the employees and they really seem to know their stuff. I can't wait to go back.
LaLa S.A.
My husband and I bought our first 55gallon Fish tank,fish and all the fish tank amenities from Pacific Aquarium Anthony the sales person,was so informative with instructions on how to care for our Fish and the tank! We already bought 12 fish and will continue to go back for more.Thanks Pacific Aquarium and Anthony !
Marleny R
I just spent 10 minutes speaking to a very patient, and knowledgeable sales person. They closed at 4pm (covid hours are 10-4 for now) and here he was after 5pm giving me advice on fish. Very excited and looking forward to going to the shop tomorrow to check out some fish. I have bought fish and food and shrimp and nerite snails from them over the past few year and have always gotten nothing but great customer service. Very nice people.
Andrew Cribb
Best aquatic designs shop in the eastern USA. Especially if you love freshwater planted aquaria like I do. Lots of good quality plants. Prices good too. Support this gem rather than buy online. A nice place to browse. Helpful people too...
Shane S
Wide, rotating selection of healthy fish. Knowledgeable staff. Best spot in NYC
Harry Rivera
I absolutely love Pacific Aquarium. It never ceases to amaze me with the variety of fish, fish supplies, food, equipment and plants you can find here. I was hooked from the 1st day I discovered them. You'll get way better service and from much more knowledgeable people than any of the big box fish stores, and they're open 7 days. I highly recommend you pay them a visit and support local shops like this one. If you're into fish you won't regret the visit.
Ilkhom Karimov
This place is just right for a beginners. These guys will explain you everything about aquarium size and fish to buy. If you'd like some exact type of fish they'll explain you how to take care of fish and what kind of other fish may be compatible with the fish you already have. Also, the store itself has a different varieties of fish and other appliances needed for aquarium. I've been in other fish stores, they are beautiful but this store is amazing. Recommend to everyone.
Susi K.
Great fish store. Maybe not everyone that works there is a fish expert, but once you get someone else there: great customer service. Got free plant just because I was curious. Very friendly staff, beautiful tanks for display! Fish and plants look healthy.
Freddy C
2/07/2013 Thursday 7:00 pm second time in this store and I have to report the front of the store looks great. What a great tank they have! This time I purchased a lot of plants some a dozen neons. Andrew was my helper today, smart young man extremely helpful and willing to offer answers to my questions, even the ones that I didn't ask. NOW THIS is customer service! they have a great selection of drift wood and substrate and some CO2 products. I also purchased some substrate and a glass CO2 diffuser - I am very excited about. In conclusion, I'm really glad there is a store in NYC that caters to my new found hobby. Oh and did I mention I arrived just as they were closing their door and they still let me look around, ask questions and buy things. truly amazing service.
1/13/2013 Saturday round 3 pm - My first visit - Found some very nice pieces of drift wood. Very busy store. Lots of visitors when I went. you could tell some were from out-of-town, and some were regulars that came to buy supplies and schmooze. All the workers were very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly. I did observe that the store could be reorganized better especially in the front, they have a huge planted tank. with lots of stuff underneath and around, not too sure what was for sale etc.. Very healthy looking fish. but there is room for improvement in the housekeeping dept.
Annalisa Rivera-Franz
Beginners and pro aquarium keepers will greatly appreciate this place! The staff is knowledgeable, and it's clear that they care about the fish there, from the guppy to your ultra rare exotic fish. If you are a betta lover, each fish has its own little filtration and lighting instead of languishing in the dark in a plastic cup like in the big chain stores. They stock live plants and equipment and they do it at fair prices. They care about the customers too- after answering our questions, they helped us get a new tank into a cab, as my partner and I are disabled (note: two steps to enter the shop). Perhaps a bit ironically, if you're not an aquarium enthusiast but love to fish, it appears they have you covered too at the front of the shop. I will definitely be back!
Fabian Verdejo
If you're into fish keeping and aquascaping, this is the place to visit. They have a great selection of unordinary fish, tools, plants, substrates, etc. on top of actually knowing a great deal about the fish they keep (unlike most big pet stores). They have ready-made aquascapes for sale, and take excellent care of their livestock. I've seen them medicate their fish so that you dont have to worry about bringing diseases into your tank at home. My favorite fish shop!
RS NewYork
This place and the people who work here are AMAZING!!! They are remarkably knowledgeable about fish and the environment each kind of fish need, but even more than that, they really care about their customers and about the fish themselves, and they go above and beyond the call of duty for both. I had a very sick little fish that I couldn't take care of (long story), and they took it upon themselves to nurse her back to health and then find her the perfect home. They even provide tours for local school children, to teach them about marine life. Simply amazing people. But in terms of products and customer service, whatever you need in terms of aquariums, supplies, fish…they'll be able to help you, and they'll do it with warmth and kindness. I can't say enough good things about them.
Terri GILLIS
I’ve been visiting this awesome place for 20 years ! I love the staff . Everyone of them is friendly , helpful and Fish smart ! I’ve bought all my fish , plants and aquariums from them . I wish there were more stores like this store / where the people actually care about what they do and it’s a fun cool place to visit ! Check it out !
E.E
Wow. This IS the only place to get all your aquarium related stuff. I needed some pretty specialized algae eating species that no one else had. I went in and the owner Chi was great. Super nice, super knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about aquariums. Place has a huge selection of stuff too. Highly recommended
Oral Seymour
This is a half decent store for saltwater fish. The freshwater section is much better. The tanks can be dirty at times and the fish sometimes look lethargic and sick. Other times everything looks great.
The prices are decent on dry goods and you can haggle a little if you pay cash.
Kristian Zapata
Excecelent fish shop. Very knowledgeable staff with experience. From what I saw they are more geared towards freshwater tanks. They have a diverse selection of invertebrates, fish and plants. A lot of options for the aquascapers out there too.
Amanda Vallon
This is not my LFS, but it is worth the commute. I speak to Will and he gives me good advice, but also tries to sell stuff. Their prices are a bit steep, so if you can find it somewhere else, go for it, but their fish and plant selections are great, and they get new fish every Sunday night. Great for aquarium enthusiasts, pros and beginners alike. If you get a fish and it dies soon after purchase, they will give you a new one for free, but they will also try to help you figure out the problem. I brought in some tank water and they tested it and showed me the tubes! They are definitely my go-to fish store for stocking, and certain décor such as driftwood and rocks because they will sell from the tank, but not for simple tanks and decor as they are very expensive. Overall they are great!
Shelby Grochowski
I’m a beginner with aquariums. I bought a 10 gallon tank last August and have filled it with plants and fish sold at pacific aquariums. The tank is doing great a year later and the fish all seem pretty relaxed. I really like this store and trust the staff when asking questions. The tanks seem clean, unlike petco/PetSmart and the stock is always interesting / changing.
Anthony Howard
The best place for your aquarium needs in NYC, period. They've got everything here- all the supplies you could ever need, a beautiful and healthy selection of fish, and an incredible selection of plants. The staff here are incredibly patient and, most importantly, knowledgeable! They know their stuff.
Skip the big box retail pet store and shop here for your aquarium needs. Support amazing local businesses such as this one.
Matt Tarr
So fun. Went with a gaggle of kids one Sunday morning and they welcomed is in and we hung around looking at fish. The next weekend I came in to pick up a few new fish and they were knowledgeable and helpful and continued to be patient. For now at least I will only buy fish and aquarium equipment here.
Jared G
This store had a wide variety of fish and invertebrates and a wide variety of decor, water additives, and more, too. I was impressed by all the drift wood they had and the fact that they had a pond for the koi fish (unlike most pet stores) and the fact that they custom make and/or even decorate/set up tanks for people.This store also has a lot of saltwater life, and a big, nice heavily planted tank at the front of the store. My only disappointments were that the java moss was kind of brown and that that variety of plants could've been bigger. This store is really great and I'd go back.
Mark Mills
This store is quite large compared to other aquarium stores. They have a large variety of fresh water and salt water fishes and possibly all the equipment on the market for your needs, their employees are very knowledgeable and always available and ready to assist. Numberous aquarium are furnished with different designs making this store a delightful experience, one thing to note prices are a bit higher than other stores but its worth it with product quality and customer service....
Alexander Brown
This place was absolutely amazing! They had so many species of plants and fish available, not only that but the customer service was fantastic I was expertly guided through purchasing the correct plants for my aquarium and the person who was helping me treated me more like a friend than a customer; he even advised against certain products that wouldn't do well in my tank. I will definitely be visiting this place again!
Kalle Westerling
My go-to for anything aquarium-related. Lots of unique critters for the tank but never the same stuff so you have to keep coming here from time to time to check out what’s in the store. It would be great if there was some kind of updated list online for those of us who have quite a commute to get there, but no such thing exists as far as I know.
Dr. Lila Wolfe
They came to my office, set up and installed my aquarium with plants and great fish. Super friendly and make aquarium maintenance easy. They even will come to you and clean the tank and trim your plants when needed. A great service if you want a tank but feel overwhelmed by the upkeep.
Stuart Kenworthy
This place is AMAZING. Really cool shop to explore- everything you need for fresh or saltwater tanks. The best part, however, is the staff. They are unbelievably friendly and knowledgable.
I've never been too interested in owning a fish tank, but I walk by the shop all the time, so one day stopped in just to check it out. I saw a small "complete" tank for sale (maybe 8 gallons- gravel, wood, rocks, vegetation, fish, shrimp, filter, light), and was immediately hooked. Thought it would be perfect for on top of my dresser and knew I had to get one! Instead of buying the one I saw, over the last two months the ENTIRE staff has been helping me customize my own. I really had no knowledge of how to maintain a tank, but they answered alllllll my questions and have guided me through every step of the process. I told them I didn't want to break the bank and wanted something relatively easy to maintain. They told me exactly what I should get and how often to add/change things. I started with the tank, filter, light, gravel, and wood, and have been adding new pieces to the puzzle each time I stop in the store (rocks, plants, fish, shrimp).
Chi, Anita, Isabelle, Will, Andrew, and anyone else I'm forgetting- you have been SO GREAT. Thank you! And thanks for putting up with my dumb questions and frequent visits- you guys are awesome.
M S C
Knowledgeable staff. Lots of variety of fish and plants. Show case tanks are the mesmerizing ...planted tanks, salt water fish, corals, nano planted tanks. It's awesome. Looking for specials on plant or fish, they might have or they might be able to order for it for you. Wow! Custom tank order available, just speak to someone at the store! Tanks setup and service available!
The store has been opened for 38 years come April!
I hear there is a hugh 38th anniversary weekend sale coming up on April 27 and 28!!! You should not miss it.
Dennis Tang
Store has a cool LFS vibe. Friendly and helpful staff. I came here for the goldfish and will only be commenting on goldfishes. I was kinda disappointed with the gold fish tanks. Majority of the goldfish didn't look to good. Although I did purchase 2 Ryukins. Currently they are in quarantine. If they survive the next 2 weeks I will revise and add a star.
Nitai Gibbs
I like this place. They have been updating the layout and tank setups to have the place looking fresh. Good spot for a variety of tropical fish and plants for planted tanks. They have a good amount of salt water things too but I'm not familiar with that side of the hobby.
John Chambers
Just bought 5 neons from this shop. Excellent service, nice place with plenty to choose from. My wife went in and picked these little guys up, and she truly like Pacific Aquarium & Plant. We will go back again!
Emilie Dowd Schurenberg
Rushed here from work to try and catch them before it closed but was a couple minutes late. I had a question about my new tank and tried calling to see if I could get some help. Staff still answered the phone and helped me with my questions. Appreciate that even if I wasn’t able to look around They still helped me with their expertise. Thanks!
Brandon Noriega-Martinez
The guy who helped us was so nice that he even gave us some advice and how to take care of our fish tank and they also sell beautiful like fancy goldfish but there kind of expensive. At I had a good time at Pacific aquarium in NY
Michael Quinones
Small saltwater/reef section. Seems as if they specialize in freshwater planted aquariums. Corals were decently priced, nice big pieces for reasonable ask. Lots of aiptasia and pumping xenia spread thru tanks (reef) the fish were disgustingly overpriced. Any place that has green chromis @ 20.00 ea should be a distinct warning to how grossly expensive the fish are. And the health of the fish can be questioned a bit also. Clowns were good but everything else not so much.
Erika Currier
Very good selection of fish (both freshwater and marine), aquatic plants, driftwood, live rock, corals, and pretty much anything else you could possibly need for an aquarium. All of their animals and plants are in great condition. They quarantine any sick animals immediately, so no worries about being sold a fish in poor health. They have fishing supplies too, but I don't know much about that topic so I can't vouch for whether it's a good selection or not. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable, so it's a great LFS for aquarists ranging from day one beginner to expert. I tell my friends to go here whenever they aren't sure where to shop for supplies.
Michael Sinanan
Amazing staff. Very knowledgeable for the most part. Great service. They really care about the fish and don’t just try to sell you on them. It’s a real experience compared to a franchise fish shop or pet store
Jarrod Ice
Knowledgeable staff and very efficient. They have a wide variety of fish at pretty fair/average prices. Retail item prices however are a bit on the high side.
Gilbert Bonilla
I love this place here on Delancey Street.
You get every Educational Material from the staff there that knows her stuff from head to toes. So I'm giving her a Hugh Shout out to this woman 👩 who works @ the Aquarium.. Great Job!!! I wished that I knew your actual name so I can add it to this App. Keep up the great work that you're doing...👏😊
JULIA CANDEA
I came into this store and I was instantly impressed. They're stocked with the best mechendise and great workers. Anita a very kind polish women that works there walked me through all the steps of setting up my new nano planted tropical tank. She explained, demonstrated and recommended everything there was for me to know. Not only that but they have beautiful fish and a great variety of supplies.
Surjeet Mishra
They have a good variety of healthy fish (salt and fresh water) along with plants and corals. Decently priced for most items. Though the RAM chichlid we brought died within a week, I think most fish were healthy. The staff is helpful.
Michael Hu
Clean, organized fish store. Decent, patient, and enthusiastic customer service. Most importantly, Healy happy fishes they sell.
Mark Gellineau
I'm a long time hobbyist so I know a quality LFS when I see one. Very helpful and very knowledgeable and very patient staff who obviously have a passion for fishkeeping. The store is clean, no funky smells, healthy fish and plants and a GREAT variety of them!
Jasmine B
Good place for exotic fish and fishing supplies
Beth Liav
A wonderful aquarium store with a great selection of fish and products. From the staff member I spoke with, they were all knowledgeable and able to help me fix an issue I was having with my tank, as well as answer any questions I had. Definitely going to go back if I need any additional fish to stock my tank!
Ale F.F
This store is absolutely amazing they have anything & everything u need for your aquarium from saltwater to freshwater coral,rocks,life stock & much more. I buy all my aquarium fish from here. The workers are always nice & helpfull. If you are an aquarium hoobiest like me u would absolutely love this store.
George Wang
Kinda wish the staff were more interactive, but they seem quite busy so I hate to bother them. Their selection of livestock is bar none though and this is the best part of coming here. I may not buy right away (since their prices are definitely on the higher end) but if you are looking for something hard to find, they will be your best bet. So I would look here first if you're interested in some species of fish or shrimp that you can't seem to find elsewhere.
Kike Rivera
Great store you find everything you need to assemble your fish tank.
They have a variety of plants, roots, rocks and fish, also tanks and CO2. I really recommend it. I will definitely be back!
Joseph Masiello
Great selection of fish, both fresh and saltwater, and corals. The Puffers are my favorite! And as far as tank set-ups, they have everything you need, plus a very friendly and knowledgable staff.
Kenneth Chia
This is an absolutely excellent LFS! Will was the one who helped me select Honey Gouramis as the latest addition to my 20 gallon tank. He also assisted me in selecting driftwood and java moss and picking up a drip acclimation kit. Very personable and great customer service, he answered all my questions.
What I was most impressed about was the double-bagging of the fish - they added newspaper between the bags to help insulate against the colder weather, and also pumped in oxygen to ensure the fish have enough oxygen for the commute back home.
I highly recommend this store for their selection of fish and plants, and excellent customer service. I will come back again for my aquarium needs!
Jason Simms
As an aquarium hobbyist, I don't know where I'd be without Pacific Aquarium. The knowledgeable and friendly staff are always happy to help and answer questions. They also have all the things you'll need to start your own aquarium from square one. Skip the big box pet stores and go to Pacific Aquarium.
D Howard
If your an advanced hobbyist and have outgrown your LFS, then Pacific Aquarium is the place for you. They are stocked very well for the locations size. The employees are knowledgeable, professional demeanor and customer services is excellent. As if that not enough to keep you coming back, their prices are great. If you are a keeper of African Cichlids {more specifically peacocks like myself}, you will be very happy. You just have to be willing to grow them out. Which I do not mind. Overall, I believe you have a very pleasant experience.
Mary K
Solid selection, but be wary of plants you buy-- I found a snail in my tank about five weeks after purchasing some java ferns from them, as well as black beard algae. Definitely some fault on me here, I should have cleaned them off better, but something to be wary of!
Marcus Watson
The staff of Pacific Aquarium are all very courteous, and there are always people on hand to ask questions. The prices are not much more than Petco but with higher quality specimens and live plants. I bought discus fish from here that were magnificent.
Dawn Stewart-Lookkin
This is the best and only place we go for our aquarium needs. If you want to keep fish as pets (or snails! or shrimp!), check this place out first. So many tanks with a range of creatures and plants plus helpful staff.
Dave Luke
Used to come here years ago when I had a koi tank. I have a small planted nano now. I came here to get shrimp and moss, and left with a siamese algae eater and some galaxy rasboras! The staff was helpful and pleasantly enthusiastic about the hobby. This is easily the best aquarium shop in the 5 boroughs as far as I can tell.
man s.
The most comprehensive aquarium shop in NYC. Open until 7. The worker there are very knowledgable on all things fish related and very helpful as well as courteous. The prices are higher but u get supreme commissioner service with it.
THE AB LAB
I love fish as pets this place has everything anything exotic that you need salt water Related they have go check them out they have a wide variety of exotic fish and things
Kevin G (KGNY)
These guys know their stuff and won't oversell or undersell you (most pet stores will sell you a 10 gallon tank and 5 giant fish to make a buck). If you explain what you are trying to do, they'll help you. It's awesome.
Michele
Very knowledgeable staff and excellent quality fish/plants/shrimp.
Iti Pathak
I love this place and the staff, they really know their stuff and keep the tanks clean and livestock very healthy. It's not my LFS but definitely worth the commute. Be sure to do a hydrogen peroxide dip for the plants before putting them in your tanks though as snails may hitchhike.
Brandon Diamond
Simply outstanding. Incredible supply of healthy, robust fish and beautiful, vibrant plants -- including quite a few uncommon and rare species. One of my very favorite shops in the city; I can spend hours browsing their incredible showroom and admiring the gorgeous planted tank at the front of the store.
The shop itself is extremely well stocked. They've got anything and everything you might need for your tank, including the specialist supplies most shops don't carry. You won't leave disappointed.
As terrific as the livestock, plants, and equipment might be, where this store really shines is in the care and attention they give to every single customer.
As an example, one of the employees (Chi) spent a full TWO hours teaching me everything I needed to know about caring for my freshwater nano tank. Not only did he offer his insight and suggestions, he also was kind enough to study photos and videos of the tank, its water composition, lighting, feeding, co2, dosing, temperature, and just about every other parameter that might be affecting the tank. Moreover, when my phone died, Chi unplugged one the point of sale devices so I could charge it and continue showing photos of my tank.
After carefully reviewing everything -- and responding to all of my questions and concerns -- Chi offered his professional opinion and pointed me to (and ran around the shop to collect them all) products that would help my tank thrive. Throughout, he was extremely friendly, inviting, and accommodating. Chi's passion for keeping fish was tremendous. And Chi's not alone: the entire staff of the store is extremely helpful, eager to share their advice, and willing to put in the time in to help you achieved the best outcome possible.
Like most brick and mortar stores, some products are available for a bit less on Amazon and other websites. However, given the essentially ludicrous amount of support, insight, and personalized advice the staff offers their customers, I'd pay TWICE retail... and gladly.
Pacific Aquarium & Plant is a rare gem and one of the last of a dying breed. It's a phenomenal and special store -- and one that I intend to support for as long as I'm able. PA&P is a quirky, comprehensive, and brilliant NYC treasure -- don't miss out!
Denisse Garcia
Lovely place with lovely employees. They are always keeping the store in A+ shape and are very knowledgeable.
Katherine Luo
They have a very nice variety of fish and aquascaping items for sale. My anubias and hairgrass are all doing very well and flourishing. Docking one star because when I purchased 3 otos, the guy picked one up by pinching it between his fingers and when I got back, I found out one of the fish he had chosen for me was missing an eye.
Lee T
Thank you Anita, you were very very helpful and kind! And the gentleman who brought the bags to my car!! Had lots of fun and will def come back 🐠🐠 …
Radek Drozdalski
One of the better aquarium stores in NYC area. They sell sweet and salt water plants and creatures and also some fishing and spinning equipment 😵
The staff is knowledgeable and really friendly, you can easily spend an hour watching their multiple tanks and creatures living within.
Ning Chen
Very friendly and knowledgeable,been buying fresh water fishes from them since I was young and new , always provided best information what I needed and not just trying to sell you unlike the another aquarium stores I been to (Don't care you buying two different kind of fishes might kill each other's !)# 1 store I seem so far in the NYC . Very satisfied what I just bought from pacific A today ! Great price !
Dawn
Great place for freshwater and salt water fish!
Brendan A
Great shop for easy and hard to find items. Owner is useful and can get his hand on a lot of rare. Pricing is a bit higher but that goes with being in a prime spot of manhattan
Derwin Bullard
What a great experience visiting Pacific Aquarium... I was last there 15 years ago. At the time I was heavy into South and Central American Cichlids such as Uaru's, Severums and Convicts with a dozen tanks scattered throughout my house. I was and still am also a keeper of African Cichlids as well with my favorites being the Lake Malawi Yellow Labidochromis and any Lake Tanganyika Shell Dwellers such as the Neolamprologus Simile and other species. I must say that shop is a arranged in a very logical and inviting manner with each tank filled with an abundance of fish species (fresh and salt); plants; corals; live rock and driftwood dependent upon water chemistry or fish species needs. All of their tanks were spotless, neat and clean with not one dead fish to be found. I came in with my two daughters (Cheyenne 17 & Sierra 15) who were treated with kindness and grandfatherly respect by the owner (Chi). As we explored the shop, one of the staff members (Andrew) was engaged with a customer totally unfamiliar with fish keeping who immediately wanted to plunge into advanced reef keeping. Andrew was very professional and courteous throughout the exchange and emphasized the difficulty of properly maintaining a reef aquarium without first researching heavily what it entails. I stepped into the conversation and gently explained to the new comer to the hobby that it would be easier to start with a fish only salt water setup or start with fresh water first. If he was searching for colorful fish then African Cichlids especially from Lake Malawi would be a good place to start. I was impressed by Andrew's patience and his not trying to just make a sale that you find in other shops. The variety and health of the fish on display cannot be beat. I did purchase three adult Yellow Labidochromis one Male and two females holding eggs or fry in their mouths. They have settled in nicely in my main African display tank with only Yellow Labids... Unfortunately they had sold their last Shell Dweller but asked me to call back the following Monday for a possible special order. Also the quality of their live plants, corals, and anemones are very high. After completing my purchasea... there Yellows for 25... a very good price. I spent the next half hour just talking about the hobby and the quality of aquarium stores in the Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Nassau County region. Of the four stores I frequent at this time Pacific ranks as number one in Manhattan. Kissena Aquarium and KHC rank as my top choices in Queens. Parrots of the World in Rockville Center (Nassau County) is good as well. For me Pacific is ranked at 1; Kissena at 2; KHC at 3 with Parrots at 5. New York Reef Aquatic (rank at 4 IMHO) also ranks high but they are primarily reef oriented. They rank ahead of Parrots of the World. The store formerly known as Fishtown is now known as Fish World has not been rated as it has not reopened in it's new location. Even when they do they will have to be lights out to grab the top spot. I have 46 years in the hobby and have kept and collected across fresh and saltwater. Pacific is the best you will find in Manhattan hands down.
Erica Pearson
Great store. Staff knowledgeable. Have bought multiple times over the years. I encourage anyone who enjoy aquariums to check this location out.
Edwin “Tuchy” Rosario
Very nice spot for my aquarium needs, the staff are very knowledgeable, and professional
Subhankar Das
They probably have the best stock for freshwater fish and plants in the NYC area. But too pricey.
Sunil George
Nice place and very friendly staff
Isaac Mushinsky
Best place we know for freshwater fish and plants. Knowledgeable, caring staff. It seems that they always quarantine new or potentially infected fish and will try to make sure to sell you healthy specimens.
adrian chan
Had such a great time chatting with Will to set up our first aquarium, very knowledgeable, walked away with a very pretty aquascape, can't wait to go back and pick out some fish for it.
tory chisolm
They have been around for years and is the only shop like this in all of lower Manhattan they have all of your fish and aquarium needs plus it is a bait and tackle shop you can buy frozen bunker bait rods fishing tackle it's amazing and the staff is always willing to help
Kingbirdman blackopps
I love this place, I shop here for everything I need for my aquarium's. And if I'm not sure about something, they are a great help, very experienced with fish and aquatic plants.
Krystian L
Check this out yesterday for first time and it's one of the best in NY. Best selection of driftwood anywhere.. most stores don't have any, and if they do it's terribly boring. They will even sell one from a tank which can be useful if you want one with some bacteria on it + won't dye your tank since most of the tannin is probably gone. Really nice selection of plants.. although some of these could look a tad better. The guys there are great. Let me borrow a tape measure to measure some things out and when I asked for a KH test kit they asked if I'm sure I need it. Usually sales people try to make you buy more, not really take care of you. Also gave me some advice without the typical attitude. Found my new main LFS.
Howie W
Yesssss. This place is great, nice selection and great customer service. The fish a nice and healthy and well taken care of. The mollies I bought even had fry, pretty standard behavior of mollies, but still lol.
Miguel Peguero
Store is a bit cramped and disorganized. They have a big selection of freshwater fish but if saltwater is your thing. STAY AWAY. I travelled a long way to check this place out as I want to familiarize myself with all the saltwater shops in NY. This place doesn't seem to take good care of their tanks. And their stock is overpriced.
Freshwater is more their specialty.
Raj Medhekar
Good selection of fish, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Just started a 20 gallon fresh water tank and a fella named Andrew at the shop was very helpful.
Christopher
These folks had a wide range of good quality fish. However, they were not able to ship the merchandise back to my home.
Tianwei Xiong
Great selection of freshwater and saltwater plants coral and fish, supplies, food, medication, etc. A lot of the staff are pretty knowledgeable and can answer any questions you have. Fish are healthy and have good survival rates.
M Shep
This has quickly become one of my favorite Aquarium stores in NYC! Very professional crew who are patient and know what they are talking about! I’d recommend them to anyone starting an aquarium.

Danyel Lawson
They have the fresh and saltwater fish and supplies you are looking for plus rods and tackle for fishing too. I buy the feeder shrimp cheap because my turtle doesn't immediately decimate them like he does the goldfish.
Ty John
Plenty of fish and supplies. The staff is friendly but they didn't always ask me if I needed help. It's a bit pricey but they fish are of really good quality.
David Hong
They seem to have a great selection of fish and water plants. I didn't end up with buying anything but it was fun looking around inside. They even have lion fish! Woah!
Lance T
They have anything for your aquarium needs. They will actually advise you on best option in case of fish related illness. Instead of just selling some products that might not work or actually stress your fish.
v p
Beautiful healthy fish! Dislike that some male bettas are kept in cubes no better than chain-store cups.
My amano shrimp and albino cory cats were healthy and Ive had no deaths!
Plants do have hitchhiking bladder snails.

Dwight D
Knowledgeable staff and a wide variety of items for aquarium hobbyists.
