Overall experience was great! Jake was extremely helpful, and they have great selection. I did a large online order of freshwater plants, and everything came in healthy. Excellent service. Thanks :)

The negative reviews are unwarranted. We bought salt water fish about a month ago from a newly arrived order. We were told by staff to make sure we quarantine our fish before adding them to our main tank. (Which all stores advice from new orders). We did the mandatory quarantine period, but sadly the fish developed red velvet. We notified Atlantic Aquarium and Reef, and they were extremely apologetic and offered to replace the fish at cost, which we felt was more than fair. No other store in the area has ever offered to do that for us. We will definitely continue to buy from them. I can't say enough about the cleanliness of the store!

Purchased fish the week of Black Friday and a few days later my tank was full of Velvet.. I lost 5 other fish so far and have 3 others in quarantine tanks.. let's just say i'm not impressed! I know others that also got velvet after purchasing fish from here that week so this is a buyer beware.. The owner even admitting there was velvet in his display system and was still selling fish which is not cool. Thought I was getting a good Black Friday deal and in the end I lost over $1,000 of fish. So far!

Absolutely love this place! The variety of fish was fantastic, from colourful tropical species to hardy freshwater favorites. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, providing helpful advice and ensuring I found the perfect fit for my tank. The store was clean, well-organized, and the fish looked healthy and happy. Overall, a top-notch place for all things aquatic!

Jake is an absolutely fabulous manager you made a great decision giving him this position. He helped out with every question I had and even gave me a “fish survival guide” on everything I needed to know. He thoroughly ensures customers leave with correct information. Will definitely be back to buy more aquarium plants and maybe more fish in the future when we get a bigger tank :) Thanks so much for all the help. Btw the bird rocks, other reviewer you suck :( be nice to him!!!!!!

Great selection of saltwater fish and corals. Owner walked me through proper quarantine processes and stressed the importance of quarantining all new fish additions. Instructions for acclimation and quarantine were concisely printed and posted across the shop for us to review and even appeared on our receipt incase we did not remember parts of our discussion.

Came here to check the store out the prices are affordable will definitely come here for future purchases

I was truly impressed by the fantastic selection of fish and the friendly, knowledgeable staff. The store is clean and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. They have a wide variety of fish species, beautiful tanks, and all the supplies you could need. The staff went above and beyond to answer my questions and provide expert advice. It's a gem of a store for any fish enthusiast.

Great experience every time I go to the store. They are always very informative. They got great collections of plants as well! And the coolest Macaw!!

You can't even see the fish in the top tank they are so high. The middle tanks didn't have any fish in them and the one that did had dead fish. There wasn't much of a coral selection compared the other store in Dartmouth and they were pricey compare to other stores . The bird is totally annoying too.. A first and last visit for me

Great store with a wide variety of freshwater plants and livestock for both fresh and salt water. Jake has been very helpful in entertaining any questions that I have about raising fish.

Absolutely stunning store, and amazing service!!!!!

Excellent selection of fish and the guppies we purchased were very bright and healthy. Employee was friendly and helpful. Will visit here again!

Great visit, loved the fish we got and they had a great plant selection, the macaw was a bonus and is such a pleasure to have in the store. Overall it was a good experience with great customer service! Will be going again

Very knowledgeable staff. They put care into ordering the fish stock. Love the fun facts printed and posted by the tanks

Very happy with the packaging/shipping this store does! I was worried as it has gotten much colder now, shipping fish when its cold can sometimes not turn out great but the box was still warm when I opened it. Probably the best packed box of fish I have ever gotten. Also as one of the only stores that actually quarantines fish I cannot reccommend enough! Will definitely be ordering from here again!

Very clean shop, with a wide selection of animals and supplies to browse. Lots of corals to choose from with both SPS and LPS, and prices were fair and comparable if not cheaper than other shops in the area. Fego, the blue and gold macaw was a hilight of our visit and even greeted us with a “hello” and “goodbye”.

Awesome service! They went above and beyond to meet our aquatic and pet needs. Our kids love visiting the store. They only issue we have is, we can't ever seem to leave without adding another pet to add to our growing family.

I also got fish from here in November and got velvet. Luckily I lost only one other fish compared to others that lost a lot more. When I got my fish, there were no quarantine protocol signs around the store. I haven't been back since, but I'm sure if they're up it's for damage control. The young gentlemen who bagged my fish did not mention proper quarantining procedures nor the use of copper in their system. Any other store that runs copper would tell you not to put their water in your tank, which makes me think they weren't running copper before this outbreak. If they know so much about proper quarantining, they should have been doing it themselves instead of selling fishing right out of the box from their supplier. Also, if the owner thinks the negative comments are unwarranted, he should reply to them instead of someone else that has no idea what happened when others purchased their fish.
