I got my fish, snails, and plants here. The shop has lots of varieties of animals and plants, and the people there helped me a lot with choosing the right fish and plants for my setup. Everything was pretty affordable and one of my favorite places to go for all my aquatic needs

This store has a large variety of neat fish to choose from. The live plants for your tanks is also a big selection My husband and I bought glass catfish and a plant. The fish are so neat. The workers are also very nice. They are on the floor actively asking if you need help or have questions. All in all it's a great stor. The only things I think could be improved are physical. The store is crowded with all sorts of supplies for fish and other pet needs. It could be organized and displayed a little better. The building is old and could probably use a good scrub down both inside and out. Honestly if the store had a bigger building where they could display their goods and have bigger isles in a cleaner environment it would probably triple it's success which is saying something consider the store had lots of customers already when we were there which was only for a short time.

First time being here and immediately I was amazed. Lots and lots of tanks, all of them fully stocked with Freshwater and saltwater fish, inverts, plants, coral. Everything appeared to be healthy, kept clean and most of the prices were pretty standard if not less expensive! Definitely a must see lfs!

I used to really like coming to this store as a kid with my dad because of how cool they setup some of their show and planted tanks. Well the store is about the same as it was like a decade ago. Same interior walls. Minus the cool planted tanks. I remembered my dad back then not tending to buy many fish from this place because their prices were high. They still are. They wanted $28 for a pair of two breeding threadfin rainbows. You can get 6 from online wholesalers for the same price. I get that for small businesses there probably needs to be some markup to keep yourselves afloat, but that discrepancy seems a bit ridiculous. Their plant selection is good and reasonably priced though. I did end up getting a few during my last purchase. Maybe consider making some updates to the store just to make it not feel so dated? I'm not sure when I'll be back.

Very healthy/clean tank systems and huge variety of aquatic supplies. I came in with the intention of starting a planted tank and Dom walked me through the entire process of starting and helped me curate my tank. He was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and I couldn’t have had a better experience. A must visit for aquarium hobbyists!

All fish dead in 48 hours. I was really excited to come here. A bit skeptical with signs posted stating accept fish returns for 24 hours only. Started 20G tank 1 month ago with 3 catfish and 5 harlequin rasboras. Went to Monfort a little over a week ago and got 6 tetras. 5 tetras died in less than 24 hours, the last one died the next day. 3 days later, one of my established catfish died, the next day, 2 rasboras, and this morning, the rest of the rasboras floating dead. So disappointed.

My absolute favorite pet store in Cincinnati! I stop there as often as I can to see what's new. They have a vast selection of PETS AND PLANTS that you you won't find in the big franchise stores. And aquascaping stones that I've never seen before. Everyone that works there is courteous and knowledgeable about whatever's in the store. The very best cichlids you'll find in a store! Big franchise stores have got nothing on Monfort. Before you order something online, go here! I bet they have it! And if you visit Cincinnati OH, stop here!

What a fantastic variety of plants and fish! The tanks are immaculate. The fish are healthy looking and seem very happy. This was my second visit, and the team is consistently friendly, and the store is consistently well taken care of. It's worth the drive. We'll definitely be back!

Locally owned aquarium and pet shop with friendly faces, great prices and quick service. Been coming here for many years!

Clean aquariums! Beautiful fish! Great selection! You can tell they really value their fish.
