    Very helpful. My tank was so green i could barely see my fish. They told me exactly what i needed to do and now my tank is crystal clear. The prices are not bad either. Definitely my go to place for my fish tank stuff. Not going anywhere else!! Thanks Brian!

    Always and forever will be my go to place for any pet supplies. A family run business that should be supported. Better than the big box pet co that is across the street.

    My daughter called saying the pond was overflowing due to the hose being left on and I was very low on Pond Prime. Since I wouldn’t be there before they closed Brian’s let me pay over the phone and left some prime outside for me!

    The staff is really friendly and they have a huge selection of fish.

    I have been coming here since I was a kid and now I bring my own children here. They always know what to do with any fish issue I run into. And they are the nicest people too.

    Normally, I really don’t like to leave a review like this. I bought my daughter a $7.99 fish this morning. We were told any problems no worries, bring the fish back. Petco had the same fish for $3.99, but we figured we’d shop small. Fast forward 5-6 hrs later the fish died. I called the store, and they pretty much insinuated it was my kid’s fault because it was with a beta. So now, I’ve got a heartbroken kid, who lost her first fish. She sat & watched this fish all day, and the beta was non aggressive. Definitely don’t recommend, if you have younger fish owners.

    Incredibly kind staff—these people really know about the animals that they are selling! The store is clean and well-stocked, the advice that you get is from genuine animal lovers. Brian is knowledgeable, kind, and down to Earth. It’s a pleasure every time we go there, and it gives us peace of mind knowing that our pets are having their needs met by caring professionals! 💖

    Very knowledgeable and helpful. I don't think I'll ever go back to Petco or PerSmart again. Especially for my fish needs.

  • 5/5 Danielle G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great place. So helpful! Any questions we had were answered with sincerity and it’s a greatly stocked store. 5 stars for sure

    Brian is terrific, as are all the staff. This place is the definition of a “mom and pop” shop and the main reason I will go to them as long as they are here! The experience is well worth any $ that might be spent above a chain store’s prices (which are all comparable anyway). They care about what they do!

    Brian's Tropical Aquarium is the best! The owners are wonderful people who are always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. They really take the time to make sure that you understand how to care for your pets. The guppies that we purchased here produced so many babies that we actually had to bring some back! I would highly recommend that you support this small business who truly cares for their customers as much as they do their animals.

    I bought 2 fish from there. They were orange fish, a tiger and a candy cane I think. The lady told me how to adjust it to the water. I went home and followed directions. Within minutes the one of the fish was dying and later died that night. I brought it back and the lady insisted I adjusted the fish wrong even though I didn’t and have 10 other fish doing great. Fine so she gave me a new one and I checked my water to be safe. That was the candy cane that died. 2 days later the tiger died. Can’t be from adjusting it wrong right. Didn’t bother to bring back since I was blamed for it in the first place. Now 3 days later the replacement candy fish just died while all my other fish are thriving. Not gonna even call because I feel uncomfortable about getting blamed again. They must possibly be caring for the fish incorrectly. I also bought a dwarf frog that I haven’t seen since I put him in 2 weeks ago I assume went under the gravel and died he was very small and thin. They must do really good business and not worry because I see the same story as mine with the attitudes on there reviews like there a chain store that doesn’t care about customer service. It’s fine I will be going to PETCO across the street for all my pet needs from now on they offer 30 day guarantee for fish and none of the ones I bought from there have died.

    I couldn't ask for a better experience. After our fish (purchased from a different store) died and we didn't know what caused it, I called 4 different fish stores and got all different types of information. Joe answered the phone when I called and was so helpful and understanding. After I got my tank ready for a new fish (per his instructions) and picked up our new guy this weekend, our fish is thriving! Thank you so much to everyone who helped get our gourami home! Their advice is spot on!

    They have great products, and excellent service. If you don't see what you need make sure to ask they can always get it or have it. Please go here they are privately owned not corporate.

    Brian was very helpful and informative about the fish I was interested in and made suggestions on others without being pushy.

  • 5/5 Lauren T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a wonderful store. One stop shopping for all your pets. I have a pit bull and a ball python. This wasn't my first dog but my first snake. Brian is very knowledgeable and helped me figure out everything I need.

    I inherited a koi pond with the home we just purchased. I knew nothing about how to take care of these guys and their home. Thanks to the super helpful that work here I now know everything I need to know to keep these guys alive !

    Clean pet store with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Their selection of fish and aquarium plants is mostly the usual one. Not a bunch of tanks so I wouldn't refer ot this as an aquarium store. Had the basics and is good if you live in the area but we drove 40 mins so we probably won't return but I would if I lived in the area. Their tanks were clean, no dead fish and their Betta fish looked very happy and they were in individual glass bowls, mini but not tiny like those stupid cups I hate that people use. They also have healthy looking axolotl's, tadpoles, a few reptiles and some birds. There are supplies for all pets from fish, birds, cats and dogs. Definitely visit if you live in the area.

    Great local family owned fish store. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Never feel rushed when there. The gentlemen Brian & Dom (hopefully I remembered his name correctly) are very respectful and helpful. They are always willing to take the time to explain things and make suggestions. Rather than always going to Petco etc. for your aquarium needs, I recommend going here. You may pay a little more but I’m sure it helps these little family owned shops greatly. Highly recommend

    best place ever, never mind petco and the other box pet stores, Brians has all your needs not just for fish and small animals, cat and dog items too, they ALWAYS have what i need and i have 9 pets (cats/dogs), they are experienced and they truly care, just pu a ramp for my 13yr old lab. Thank you to the very nice lady who helped me.

    They are friendly and very knowledgeable when asked about your pets needs.

    Been going to Brian's for 2 decades. About 35 years ago, I worked retail at the now-defunct Ed's Tropical Aquariums. Brian's is the closest I've ever seen to Ed's. When you shop for pets, its good to know that the staff are knowledgable. A sole proprietor vs. the big boxes is rare these days. Livestock is rarely guaranteed anymore..its the risk you take. Throw in Internet "bargains" and it makes it that much harder to run a local business. I applaud him & his staff for keeping small business alive.

    I went in with my children asking for help about fish tanks and getting a fish. The woman with short hair threw her hands up at me and said “okay” with the biggest attitude I’ve encountered and walked away. When I approached her again for help she said “well now you have to wait, I have other people to deal with.” I asked for help first, very nicely. Okay, taking my business elsewhere. Thanks anyway!

    This is an amazing pet store !! Friendly service, kind, efficient, polite, knowledgeable staff and a very large selection of all types of pet 🐕 supplies and treats, food, ect.... I totally recommend this wonderful pet store.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 2 years ago on Google
    I never write reviews for businesses, but Brian’s Aquarium provided me with exceptional service so i felt like i should. I just built my first aquarium, Brian and the staff could not be more helpful. Brian was more than excited to answer every question as well as provide experienced advice. I first went to another aquarium shop who provided me with terrible customer service. No matter where you are located i highly recommend going to Brian’s Aquarium.

    My girlfriend got a new goldfish to give her old fish company and the new fish ended up giving her goldfish Ich. I’ve read multiple reviews of people complaining that their fish die very soon after they buy them. There’s definitely a major pattern here and Brian’s needs to take much better care of their fish. Absolutely disgusted that this would happen. Spend your money somewhere else.
