Although Tropical Pets supplies for many different animal types and pet needs, I come here for my fish. The staff are extremely helpful, knowledgable, and respectful. If you have requests for something you’d like in stock for solely your own purchase, they are extremely willing to try their best to satisfy those wants, and get that for you in their upcoming stock. Their fish selection is quite large, as they have many fish that are able to suit different tank sizes (which you can buy as well) and have different aggression rates. They restock and get a new selection about every week. All fish are healthy.

The pet shop is clean and you can tell the animals are well taken care of. The employees were nice and helpful with my purchase of a Zebra Finch. Other then that, I do not like the store policy when it comes to purchasing pets. Why would I need to buy $15 bird food that I already have at home? Why would I need to buy $18 vitamin that I can purchase for less than $12 at another petshop in NYC? I ended up spending more than I needed today. Shaking my head…

I’m so glad I stumbled on this place 🤩 I’ve been meaning to add some fishies to my 15 gal tank and while walking a friend home I found this place! I added 2 Angel fish, 2 plecostomus and 4 colorful fishes which I’ve forgotten the names. All my new fish are happy and are getting along with our betta and 2 mystery snails 😅 Tropical Pets Dyckman has a really nice selection of fish, the man who helped me was very knowledgable and friendly. I also picked up some dog treats! I usually go to petco but this will be my go to, small business’ forever 🙌🏻

Needed some snails for my 5 gallon divided beta tank. Been looking everywhere for them in the bronx. No one has any. Worked in the area for a couple of days. Did a Google search for pets..found this spot. My snails are thriving. Picked up some cat treats too. Lot's of critters and birds. Cool local mom & pop business. Support our peeps!

I had been looking to buy cat nail clipper for awhile. I couldn't find anyplace around where I live to buy it until I went into Tropical Pets. Found the nail clipper for my two baby's, & bought them some cat treats that are good for their teeth. The cashier was very respectful, & the prices weren't that bad. A bit high from other places I've been to in the past, but nowadays everything has gone up so it is understandable. I will be going again when needed.

I got all my baby’s turtles here they are amazing and they treat the customers. and have good animals.

I got my tortoise there. I'm very happy . Great service. The two guys were very helpful they gave me all the instructions that i had to follow and the things that i needed for my pet. Now I have my tortoise and it's healthy . Thank you so much!

Very bad customer service, we were looking at the dog section to see what else we would buy we were looking for about 6 minutes since we like to take our time and the owner very rudely yelled at us and asked us what we were doing we told him we were looking at the products and he accused us of looking the prices online and said we weren’t allowed to do it. We had toy balls for our dog on our hands to buy and have bought multiple items from this store before. Never did we show any other intention.We left the store as this was extremely rude and unnecessary. Will rather give my business to another store that knows how to treat their customers.

I 6 goldfish from there way over priced nothing special about the fish for that price but the point is ALL 6 FISH DIED within 24 hours of getting them and I've been a fish owner for 10 years I check the water quality and I know the proper things to put in the water I've NEVER in 10 years had a fish die on 24 hours until this place. They would not give me back my money and on top of it they blamed ME telling me I put setting wrong in the water THEN tried to sell me THERE opinion of what to use and low and behold I ALREADY USED AND WAS USING ALL OF WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO BUY so there is a issue with there goldfish not me $90 down the drain HORRIBLE

The pet finds is good for such a small place but its really tight in there Not really petco? But this town appreciates trying to handle the pet know hows I just went for a brief visit and adopted a cavypogo (geniepig?) They have new borns and some familiar breeds I would say they need improve with legal adoption and communication for local safety and legitimate history

Highly recommend this pet store! The manager was very helpful! I'm really impressed by how clean and organized it is! Will definitely return!

Love this place. I recently moved to the Inwood area and I have been going here to get most of my pet supplies. I have 6 fish tanks and they are the joy of my life (don't tell my dogs that). The owner is super friendly and always ready to make suggestions to better my fishkeeping experience at home. Prices are fair and I never feel pushed to buy anything I don't need. See you guys later!

They're missing a major opportunity to generate more business by not offering a loyalty rewards program to their customers. I asked twice and it was a sounding, no. Especially since their prices are a little high, which is fine for a pet shop that isn't a big chain store, but all the more reason to offer perks. I go there only when I have no choice. However, they do have some awesome fish and reptiles in need of forever homes.

I love this place. They have such cool fish and the employees are extremely nice. They always have whatever I'm looking for. They are a bit on the expensive side but I feel the prices are fair for the quality they are providing. My go to fish store. Highly recommend

THANK YOU LEMECHA, THANK YOU FOR TAKNG THE TIME TO COME OUT TO MY APT TO SET UP MY 55 GALLON FISH TANK, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, COULDN''T ASK FOR A BETTER AND COOLER JOB, YOU ROCK. IF I COULD'VE GAVE YOU GUYS 10 STARS I WOULD A+++++++++++++++ ALL THE WAY.

Just got a tortoise from Tropical pets and the whole experience was amazing! The vibe was real and the information on how to take care of them was very helpful. Dope place to get your exotic pets!

This place is a PHENOMENAL pet store. They've handled my custom order for distinct animals and equipment with aplomb. Which is not to say they don't have what you need on hand for most pets. They have what your dog and cat needs. But they are the rare pet store in Manhattan that supports beyond cats & dogs. Fish, reptile, amphibian and avian friends are all well represented. Even if you are just buying food for what you have at home, if you have a child with you, they will enjoy meeting the friendly and talkative parrots, well cared for turtles and lizards and cuddly small mammals. Superlative rating for a great, independent resource for all Manhattan 3 minutes from the 1 train.

Very OVERPRICED. I let them know I got a new pet and I feel like they used it as an advantage because I didn’t know anything about prices or things that I would use. However half of the things I purchased I did not use AT ALL. Not only that he put multiple food 4 types of food and out of two of the 4 types of the food I was given MULTIPLE of them and my pet dislikes those food but one. And now it was money wasted, food wasted, and certain items I got that I never got to use wasted. My total was almost $400 and I honestly feel very used bc it shouldn’t have been almost $400 and I should’ve never gotten so many foods that I didn’t see the guy put in my bag either that I paid for!! I was also not shown the price of any of the items he just scanned them and told me the total.

I go to this place all the time and I will keep going. Bought a leopard gecko there for a good price with all of the supplies. The owner helped me get everything I needed. It was great I definitely recommend over petco and petsmart👍

Visited Tropical pets and was impressed by their excellent service and extensive range of products, including items for exotic species. Knowledgeable staff made the experience even better. Highly recommended for all pet owners!
