Aquarium Central

Our go-to place for fish and aquatic plants in Edmonton. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, clean store, and reasonable prices. I've looked at other stores and online for fish and plants and always end up coming back to Aquarium Central. Masks are still mandatory here, but they provide them for free as well as sanitizer at the door.Some fish stores have dirty tanks and dead fish but nothing like that here. Convenient location and plenty of parking - we'll most definitely be back.

Purchased a beautiful show betta along with a host of other items for my tank set upThey offered to give me water from their tanks in order to skip cycling my new tank and so far it's been greatI also picked up some plants and they're thrivingIf you want a show Betta this is the place if they have them in stock..

My go to store for healthy, quality fish. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable. The fish and plants are reasonably priced, some stuff may be more or less than the big chains sell for, but I trust what I'm getting is going to be properly quarantined and cared for and likely won't give me any headaches. Tanks are individually filtered instead of in groups and always appear well maintained. I actually usually test the water the fish were sold in out of curiosity and every time their parameters were spot on.There have been some fish over the years that I wanted to see about getting special ordered in that he absolutely wouldn't even consider sourcing due to either high mortality rates in shipping or some other ethical reasons which I would've had no idea of, it's nice to see a store with that kind of all around integrity.•Also worth noting that currently in mid 2023, masks are still strictly enforced here but are generously provided, which I completely respect, they care about people diseases too not just fish, plus as an added bonus from this masking measure you can rest assured you won't come into any unnecessary contact with any of those silly anti-vax folk while you're browsing for your next fish... yay!

I had to check this place out after hearing fabulous things about it on Facebook!Steve helped me out.I got some fancy guppies, water lettuce, a sun snail and zebra snail and a new Amazon sword plant.They pride themselves on having top notch quality fish because of their quarantine practises with their fish.Extremely full of knowledge! Recommend going and checking this place out!!I’ll Be back!! Thank you for a great experience!

Over the summer, I had been lucky enough to come across this absolute gem. I had some free time to take a trip to an aquarium store on my way back home, and the first store that I could think of was this one. The familiar, clean interior of the store as I entered was lined with loads of different hardscape options, fish food and other supplies.Once again, the customer service was gold, as they made sure to check in with me as I was walking around the fish racks to offer assistance with anything I needed. They were quick to answer questions that I had about the fish's current diets in the store, and never hesitant to provide extra information.In the end, I ended up just buying a pack of frozen brine shrimp, but the store owner provided an additional foam case wrapped in rubber bands to keep the food cool for longer while I went back home. This was easily the best customer experience that I had from an aquarium store so far.If you are looking for any freshwater fish and plant selections, I highly recommend checking them out.

I absolutely LOVE this place. Everyone is super knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and you can tell each staff member genuinely cares about the wellbeing of each and every pet that leaves that store. Now I’ve had wonderful experiences with all the staff, but Chris is my go to. He is so knowledgeable and helpful. He’s very happy to answer all my questions (which is a lot, I’m just getting into the hobby), and he never makes me feel like I’ve asked a stupid question. I will always come back as the customer service here is far better than the other few places like it.

Good selection of food and driftwood. Lots of different guppies, tetras, shrimp, snales, and many more varieties. A good selection of healthy Beta fish. Kids enjoyed shopping here.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Awesome selection of healthy fish. Definitely my go to store for fish from now on.

Bought 6 Kois from them and floating lettuce and water treatment for my newly built pond. Awesome stuff, very knowledgeable and the price on the Kois were good deal. Will keep coming back for pond stuff in the future.

I've been out of the fish hobby for a couple of years after having to take down our tanks when we moved. I visited one of my favorite places to get the tank running and start getting it stocked again, but after several bad experiences in a row it was time to move on from them. This store came highly recommended by several people, so I popped in yesterday to add to the tank and to fix the male: female ratio the other store messed up with.I DID have a couple of hiccups with my first fish I brought home from them yesterday. I really want a peaceful tank where everyone gets along - is a perfect world too much of an ask? Some of my chosen tank mates decided they wanted to rule the entire 55 gallon world, and definitely didn't belong though I was assured they'd be ok. It was a simple mistake, and they went above and beyond to make it right again and I am thrilled with the service, as well as the fish I now have.As a bonus, my service dog - who knows to ignore people - REALLY loves the gentleman who helped me yesterday and today. I like to think that she's a pretty good judge of character, so anyone she really likes that strongly, must be a good person.Thank you - I'll definitely be back for more!
