Christopher Obergas

Nicholas Judson

Decent selection of both fish and frags

Eric Moore

Didn't buy anything, but a nicely stocked aquarium store.

Eddie Penta

Amazing store with beautiful tanks, drift wood and rocks. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Bought some drift wood to bring back to Massachusetts and they held it for us while we walked around Time Square :)

Anonoy Mus

Julia Grace

Go for the aquascape inspiration and unique supplies and fish, stay for the incredible customer service. The nicest employees and the best selection of hardscaping supplies I've seen yet.

nelview Miranda

Awesome did see a dead discus in the tank but usually great place

Excel Class NYC

Friendly informed helpful staff can offer a wide selection of salt and fresh water fish and supplies. I am a repeat customer and if you care about fish you should want to visit Manhattan Aquariums.

Connor Boyd

Best fish shop in NYC

Fish Guy NY

Manhattan Aquariums has a really great selection of fish, good prices on those. Their corals are of excellent quality, but are much smaller and more expensive that one would expect. The staff I have come across in store are generally rude though, which is why i give it 3 stars. For such a premium store, you would think their customer service would match their prices, but it does not.

Julio salvatierra

Awesome selection

I found Manhattan Aquariums on my way to the Javitz Center one day. You can tell these people are not only knowledgeable, but truly passionate about their fish and corals. I went back the next day to buy a 55-gallon tank that beautifully separates my living and sleeping area of my studio apartment. I am so happy with my purchase - can't wait to go back and add to my collection.

Have gone a few times now and am very happy with this place. It is pretty clean and inviting walking in. Display tanks show obvious love for all types of aquarium systems. The livestock is always very healthy and at resonable prices. Coral selection is outstanding and I have found some great frags here.

Spencer Gallant

GREAT PLACE SO HELPFUL!

Rick Ferrino

Best reef store in Manhattan

Dustin Betterly

I like this place a lot, regardless of some of my criticisms. The staff is generally very knowledgeable and helpful. I primarily go for the coral selection which tends to be very diverse and often changes from week to week.

Michael Oquendo

Selection on corals and fish is great I feel they need more stuff to help water quality. But all and all I will 100 percent go back !!

lou berg

Beautiful store great selections, will definitely be shopping there again

Chris Juliano

Beautiful fish and hard scape.

I Remember The Goat

Since the remodel I haven't been as excited to purchase as before maybe it's just that I missed the old huge tank they had, and they really need to work out a deal with that parking lot next door because going there is a hassle

Beni Hahitti

Beautiful Store with great selection and great staff. Wide selection of fish and corals. Always a pleasure to deal with.

Lance T

Great selection! Just make sure you show up right after delivery.

Isaiah Singer

Good selection of fish and corals, but a bit expensive for fish.

Christian Alvarado 13

Highly recommended! !! The staff is extremely nice and helpful, definitely coming back.

David Quero

Loves this place. Always leave happy with my purchases. Great prices and superb customer service

Bronx Reefer Brock

Awesome selection of supplies and livestock. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Nathan MacCarter

I think this is the best fish store in the city. Particularly if you are into reef tanks, the selection and quality of the livestock and corals is outstanding.

Jakhi Graham

They have no red tail catfish or no good cichlids

Sayedur Rahman

They has a very nice collection of salt water fishes and shrimps Also has few fresh water’s! But sometimes it’s hard to find someone to get help

Tony B

Very beautifully organized. Plenty of saltwater fish and corals. Great customer service. Only complaint is finding parking, may have to park a block before. Overall, definitely a must see.

aldin gacevic

Bought few fish that 'Can live with Betta', found all dead the next day. Went the next day, bought different fish, only to find it on the floor the next day..apparently they sell flying fish, but dont tell you that. Worst attitude Not sure if the store is in *fish business *..

Rosita Sanchez

(Translated by Google) It is an excellent place has variety of freshwater and saltwater fish. In this place you can also find a wide variety of aquatic plants (Original) Es un exelente lugar tiene variedad de peces de agua dulce y salada. En este lugar puedes encontrar también gran variedad de plantas acuaticas

David Hinds

Very Knowledgeable,Friendly and helpful staff

joshapollo .

I love everything about this place. Prices are not what you can get from amazon, but the knowledge they give to you while making the purchase is well worth the extra price tag. And with amazon you can't keep coming back asking question, cause you got a setting wrong on your lights, or if this fish/chemical is right for your tank.

Rob Myles

The store is tucked so walked right by the first time. Its was worth the extra distance instead of some place closer to my home. Great selection and staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Justo Sanchez

Great for saltwater aaquarium hobbyists.

Mr. Edmarin

Very good marine aquariums shop! Thank you!

prince mamoru

Zebra Plecos and Fancy Plecos

Rita Dunne

Good variety of fish albeit a but overpriced (although somewhat understandable if it's because of the cost of taking good care of fish), down a star because right in the front they sell "betta bowls" for $20 when bettas should be kept in a 5 gallon minimum among other needs, and that just perpetuates the lack of proper care for bettas :(

Uptown Killa

The fish are cool and some of the staff are friendly and helpful while others need a serious attitude adjustment!!! I asked a question and this lady just looked at me in the face and ignored me, pretty rude. Anyways i am not a picky person when it comes to customer service but dont look at potential customers like they come from planet mars. Thanks

Berris Clarke

Nice place to grab fish and supplies.

Toni Nan Xiong

Great place for corals, fish, and supplies. Their showtanks are really beautiful, and the staff is always so helpful!

Mikhail Temnikov

It was closed for renovations without any information on theirs web site. So i lost more than one hour of my life to get there and see closed door. :(

Matt Powell

If you are a fish keeper this place will blow your mind. Not the largest place ever, but still super cool. Some of the fish we had never seen in person before. Kid friendly. Reasonably priced fish too. Kind service. Look for the tank in the back with the big question mark on it.

nathan bu

The staff was very helpful and they have a very large selection of hardscapes, coral, saltwater and fresh.

Zenix Magar

i love this place, Every time I am here I learn something new, best costumer service I have ever seen and they have best of everything here.

Allison Leonardo Tavarez

Want to go there!

GERVONDE KENNEDY

For a new saltwater tank enthusiast I was happy with the information and the knowledge they provided. The shop was small but incredible. After seeing it on Youtube I wanted to come see it for myself. I purchased some rock for my 125 saltwater tank and couldn't be more happier. Made my trip well worth it.

Bruce Galdos

Awesome setup and selection

ELCARLOS H

duromega .

I will say the biggest , the cleanest and the best aquarium in New York City

Tony Palmer

Great place! Friendly staff. Amazing aquatic creatures!

Fannypack Hater

All of their corals were so beautiful and are thriving too! This is an awesome store if your into the reef hobby!

Amanda Mesquita

The prices are really expansive. Don't found all 4 things I was bedding. .

Lorenzo Z Tartaglia

Absolutely one of the most spectacular aquarium shops in NY, perhaps all of main land US. (Don't know about Hawaii, never visited. ) Their coral selection is outstanding. And I never knew, how many varieties of Clownfish, existed. The staff, are always extremely helpful, and tremendously patient. Highly recommended, at the very least a must see. Almost like visiting a zoological aquarium, completely free. They should charge an entrance fee, well worth every penny.

José Toro

Best fish store in nyc.

John Cena

I wanna learn breeding of some fresh water fishes. Is there any place that can give me training ??

Oral Seymour

This is my favorite fish store. The staff is helpful - Mike, Justina and the rest really know their stuff and they are willing to help you with any issue you have. The store and tanks are always clean which is more than you can say for other fish store's in Manhattan and NYC.

G Kirpalani

I went here to request a quote for a custom aquarium and one of the guys said that I had to come back on a weekday. Okay fine. But he would then continue talking to another coworker. I asked another question and he would respond and right away continue his conversation with the other coworker, as if I was bothering him or something or wasting his time with my questions. Not a good impression but I don’t want to define this place by this one guy. The store and the rest of the people who work there are great.

Emilio Matos

Excelent aquarium

Luke Schneider

I disagree with the one star reviews, I think that if you actually know what your doing, like adding fish & corals to your tank, they are the most helpful. because the people who work there actually have fish tanks. Also the world doesn't revolve around you, have you been to there store, if there not doing maintenance, there taking a call or selling people stuff... its not an easy job.

Alexandru Puiu

They helped me start my reef tank, answered all my questions and extremely happy with my fish and corals, absolutely beautiful!

A top Locksmith

They get one star in my book because I asked the lady something About a rock she has no idea you can't miss with people who don't know anything about fish tanks so get your hand out of the fish tank

Wreck Ralph

I never shopped here but I have friends who do, most of all I love their store! They have so many selections of corals, reefs and tropical fish. Check it out! Prices are what you would expect after getting a completely healthy fish, plants, corals and etc

Alanna Hupe

Great place, cares for their creatures and plants. Reasonable prices

Harry Torres

Great selection

b. best

Really nice , clean and welcoming.have plenty of exotic fish rocks n corals.friendly staff.i can stay there allll dayy

willie liz

I brought a fish on Friday it died on Saturday I called them Sunday because it was Saturday night and they will not warranty the fish. So now I’m out a fish the money for the fish the money I spent to take care of the fish. I would just avoid this place honestly I’ve had better experiences at Petco

Richard Nieves

Great spot, staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Lots of different selections I highly recommend!

lawrence claffee

Brought a set of lights from melissa. Very Easy to deal with and they have a great selection of fish and frags for reasonable prices

Saurabh Rakhunde

Really good variety of Marine fishes, reasonable price stacks. I had a good experience as the staff is polite and has lot of knowledge. Compared to marine fishes, tetra fishes are less in variety but sufficient enough.

Breezy Dotting

Great fish expertise! And large selection. Good plants and snails too

Kevin Chan

Salt water fish, coral, aquarium size tanks oh my! Found this hidden gem as i made my way out to javitz. What a treat. If you are a big salt water fish aficionado or looking to start up one i would say this is the place to go to as i havn't found anything else in manhattan very similar. A wide selection of coral and and salt water tropical fish. It can get pricey but the staff is knowledgeable to get you started. They have a huge tank in the front of the store which you can stare at and meditate with tranquility.

Eric Klein

Always excellent stock with great setups and reasonable prices for the quality of stock they carry. The staff can be hit or miss, but clearly management knows what they're doing and generally it's a great store that I try to stop by any time I'm in the area.

man s.

A large selection of aquarium rocks. A bit pricey but the selection was very good, especially the dragon stone rocks. A bit out of the way near west river and they torn down the fresh water display and now only selling mostly salt water fish stock.

Dwayne Salmon

Well kept place with plenty of dry goods, corals and fish. Prices are reasonable. They have some healthy corals and fish. Worth the trip.

Andre Frank

Come here for saltwater tank supplies. I make the trek out from BK

Justin Ortiz

Got my clown fish from here. Decent place

Christina Thompson

Huge salt water select, not too too much for fresh water though. Everyone who I interacted with was very friendly.

DJ Mitch Ferrino

Beautiful store & great, knowledgeable service!!

Nicole C

I live a couple hours upstate and was just passing by yesterday on the way back to Grand Central from the NY Boat Show. I had been having some difficulty cycling my tank and Morris took the time to chat with me about it and offer his expertise. The store wias beautiful and clean, the tanks were spotless and the fish were very healthy. I had an overall amazing experience in this place and can say without hesitation that this would be my go to LFS if I lived even remotely close. As far as the reviews saying that the store is tucked away, yes, that’s true. But for someone who lives way up in the woods and doesn’t navigate Manhattan too often it honestly wasn’t too difficult to find. :)

Mauricio Durand

Great shop! It has lots of livestock at decent prices considering it is NYC (frags start at like $10). There dry goods stock is out of control! Will be back.

Thom Ng

Unique finds

Chase Uhlein

Sweet

Cheryl Chow

Manhattan Aquariums has an extensive selection and helpful, friendly and knowledgeable customer service. I look forward to going back soon!

James Millner

DeShaun Walker
