Fantastic store with helpful and knowledgeable staff and a huge selection of freshwater fish, plants, foods, tanks and anything else you can think of. I drove 2.5 hours to get to this store and it was worth every second. The prices are very reasonable as well! Thank you Aquarius for being am awesome shop!!

EDIT: The owner was nice enough to explain to me the situation and offered a full refund for the fish that were purchased. Terrible experience here. Went to get chili rasboras 3 times because they kept dying! Drip acclimated, and slowly introduced into an already established tank, yet they would still all slowly die in the following days. The third time I went, the batch of chilis was covered in ICH. It spread the disease to all other fish wiping them out. Disaster! After being a loyal customer for over 3 years, this is the final straw, I will never be going here again.

Very clean and super well kept shop. Love our aquarium so much, stocked almost entirely from this place. Always friendly and very knowledgable staff! We've had many of our fish over 2 years now. They have also done a good job with Covid not to let too many people in at once.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, speak both French and English flawlessly, wide variety of plants and organic elements to embellish your tank, like polished wood etc. Big selection of snails and fish as well as tanks and any product you can imagine. I come here to get nutrient pellets for the plants in my tank as well as snail companions for our Beta fish.

Was there the other day and Simon was so helpful with helping find what I needed! Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

I had heard so many good things about this store. So, I went there explained to the store clerk that I wanted to start a new aquarium and I was a newbie at this. I bought some substrate, products and two pieces of decorative wood. I spent for nearly 200$ in equipment. The clerk recommended to prepare the aquarium before I got the fishes. When I was installing the decorative pieces of wood, one of them wouldn’t stay in place. No matter what I did, it was floating. I called the store and they instructed me to immerse it in hot water for 3 days. After 6 days, I called to let them know that it didn’t work. I asked what they could do to replace the faulty wood. I ended up talking to a manager who (despite me stating every step of the way that I was new at this) told me that I should have known and asked if the piece of wood would float or not. He added it could take up to 3 months before the piece of wood stopped floating. 3 months!! Why would I purchase a piece of wood that will be ready in 3 months when I clearly mentioned I wanted to get everything done in 2 weeks. The best part, that same manager added that I could sell the faulty wood on Kijiji and suggested I that come back to the store to buy another piece of wood. Come back to the store? What he thinks I need another serving of his condescending ways. He must have been joking. Maybe I got unlucky, and I had the misfortune to talk to one of the most uncaring managers in the store. I had planned to purchase fishes, plants, the whole work. But I will definitely go elsewhere to finish my aquarium. Good luck if you’re a newbie and head there. I’m not spending another dollar in that store. The clerks I had met were really nice (hence the 2 stars instead of 1). But if you’re not an expert and don’t ask all the right questions, the fault is on you as that manager so nicely told me.

Great service and incredible selection of fish, tanks, decorations and pretty decent plant selection. In general the prices are very steep for most decorations, but tanks and fish are affordable. I'd recommend going elsewhere for decorations.

These are some people serious about their fish and their customers. I rarely write reviews, but I had to stop by and give some review. I went in on a Friday afternoon with a wish to get a small jar and 1 pet fish. I had a thoroughly educative introductory session about the world of fish and the care they need. The guy who worked with me left no stones unturned - he probably must have had this conversation with 100s of other customers, but yet, he took me through the same lessons and questions that others have had before me. I went in as someone who had very little confidence abt rearing fish - hence the small jar and 1 pet fish stand. However, i ended up buy 3 fishes and a moderate tank all within my budget. Here I am two weeks later - the tank still stands and my fish has all survived ( i am also someone who is famous for killing her houseplants) and they all look healthy. When I left the store, they promised me I could come in or call any time if I faced any issues. And true to the promise, I called them today because I encountered a pest snail infestation. As with the in-person meeting, the person who talked me did not hurry me through or force me to come to the store - but he listened to me patiently, much a like a doctor would. He had answers to my questions and once again, I left with the confidence that I can deal with the situation. This is a long review, but the summary is that, this is def a place I would recommend in terms of service and price points. The people are great and super helpful. They know their fish and if you are new aquarium owners, these are the people who you would want to be with you.

Super staff and high quality products. Everything you get there is safe and can be introduced to your tanks in a timely manner. I've not yet had a single thought about what could be better there. These people are amazing!

I love this place, personally my favourite place when it comes to great customer service and fish quality. I recommend this place to any aquarist.

Love this place. It's my favorite fish store! Tons of live plants, fish, supplies etc. They have everything you need as a fish keeper :)

Great little shop, has everything you need including nice aquatic plants. Great staff too.

Amazing staff and amazing Discus fish we were able to purchase! We purchased 4 and the knowledge of the staff was superior from getting them well settled to keeping them well maintained. Recommend it! Also, expect more species you will rarely find in a regular pet store. Will be my go-to-place.

Really good looking store - nice displays. Very good quality fish. Lots of different products. Knowledgeable staff.

Went here 2 weeks ago bought Cardinal Tetras, after 3 days they all died! Went back with water sample and they agreed to replace my fish after finding out the owner didn’t want the sales rep to replace my fish even if my water quality was good! Now two weeks later I completely lost my whole aquarium!!! All fish dead! Which I’ve had for years!! Only 2 Cory’s left and 2 of their miserable cardinal tetras! Waiting for owner Ronald to call me back! Lost over 100$ worth of fish in 2 weeks since originally getting 6 cardinal tetras there…I want an explanation!!!

It’s 5 star. Comparing it to other store, specifically chain stores, the fish are healthier and cheaper.

Aquarius is a stunning place specializing in all things aquariophilie. From neatness, maintenance of their tanks, fish, equipment, plants and tanks, they have it all. Knowledgeable and friendly staff is always floating around if you have any questions. All sections are neatly organized and information openly laid put for each fish and plants from what water parameters they need to the size of the aquarium needed for them. All their fish are healthy and guaranteed. Their showroom upstairs holds a selection of bigger aquariums from 5 gallons up to over 200 gallons. The website is neatly organized and has information on each fish as well as their sales. For all things dish related, I will be back as this store is amazing.

Built my first tank recently. They were very friendly and helpful.

We've visited here a few times. Each time we received excitement service and great information. Though I'm experienced with fish keeping there's always something new to learn and I always learn when visiting here !

Awesome place found my dream aquarium there!!

Affordable prices and some times get fish food also as complement..

Prices are better than at nature pet shop, also staff is friendly and the staff have a lot of knowledge, thanks to Theo for his customer service

Amazing staff and selections always fun just so far in traffic from west island.

For Fresh water fish, they care for their aquariums and make sure their fish are healthy and happy. Always willing to help answer question either it being over the phone or in person. Willing to help you learn if you have any questions or give you feed back. Very responsive when leaving a voice message for them to get back to you. From inventory to live aquarium plants to fish and frozen food they have everything for a freshwater aquarium set up. Pretty reasonably priced as well.

Good place to get everything for the fish and the service seems good…✊🏽

Aquarists like them in Montreal are very rare, but even them, they don't have some products in the international standards like ADA. They obviously have many fish selections, plants, foods, aquarium sets, and a many accessories, but I still don't find everything I have been usually using for my setup. Even CO2 was rare a couple of months ago, they didn't have the small cartridges for Nano aquariums, but just the big ones, so I had to inprovise and build my own. Having said that, is a great place to start in the hobby, but if you're looking for more specific items, then take a look on other stores in Montreal or outside. (I didn't found many stuff in Montreal by the way). I recommend watching the channel of GreenAqua in YouTube, this guys really Rock with their crazy setups. They haven't paid me anything to promote, but it's just a recommendation!!

I love this store! I always get great service and great advice. They are super knowledgeable on anything having to do with an aquarium. You can tell they care about fish, their tanks are spotless and it's extremly rare you see a dead fish. No matter how many people are in the store the employees always take the time to answer all my questions (and sometimes I have A LOT) and I never feel rushed. My only complaint is I wish they had more stores around the island!

Lovely experience as always! Got some shrimp for one of my tanks as well as a few other supplies. Such a lovely selection of everything for aquariums, definitely would recommend visiting if you're an aquarium enthusiast!

Amazing store. Best fish store i have ever been in. Friendly staff and amazing products. All fish look super healthy and treated right.

Really wonderful place, all the fish are labeled and have great info for beginners, I wish I had went here when getting my first fish. All my fish love the plants I got them from here. The staff is also so nice and friendly.

What can I say.... I wish this store was closer too me. Amazing, beautiful, and well staffed. Had display tanks, and a showroom, and of course, fish. Great variety of fish across the spectrum, and a couple I took home. Good prices, and stock is well taken care of. Staff threw in a pipette aswell, when I tried to purchase. Fish got packaged well, and survived the trip home. A+

This is hands down the best aquarium hobby store. I got my tank, supplies, plants and fish from here. The staff that work here are super friendly and very helpful especially Jamil. Thank you!

They have a wide variety of betta fish and seem to be well taken care of. I'm happy to see my betta fish is active and responsive after taking him home. Nice store with hardscapes, plants, and fishies to choose from. Worth a visit.

Great store. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They will allow you to explore and not push you to buy something that you are not so sure about. They care about living beings and that's what I love the most about this place.

Extremely healthy looking fish in a very clean environment. Super helpful and informed staff. Definitely going back.

Nice store. I was hoping to see different varieties than what I see in typical fish stores, but it was just like a standard fish you see anywhere else

Great service! Best place for help with aquariums! Got all I needed to make my Beta fish happy (real plants, rocks, real drift wood, aquariumheater, etc)!

This place was better before with more fish choices. There are quite good deals and good products out there.

Good service Nice place, very helpfull staff, great price on material filter product On the other hand a bit overpriced on the livestock and plants. Overall it's not a bad place but it's not perfect either

Awesome place to come for fish equipment

Bought fish 2 times in 2 weeks both fish were sick ,and nothing was done about it , I have many well cycled tanks that have been set up for years with other calm species never had issuse first fish ended up killing other fish in the tank , shame on me for going back and getting 2 more and 1 was fine the other was in the bag laying on its side when in the car , my ride home was 30 min , acclimating the fish correctly and while in the breeder box acclimating it was still on its side called in the morning and was told there was nothing that can be done , also when I was there there were a few fish had wanted to buy and was told I wasn't able to cause of the tanks were sick , the fish I brought home is obviously sick as well and I just want to bring it back and get a plant( which is cheaper the the fish I paid for) cause I don't trust the water in their tanks currently , there customers service is very disappointing and I suggest people to go to aquarium du nord instead its only 5 min away from this establishment
